Amazon Japan has listed preorders and pictures of series 7 of the Kabaya Gum kits. This set features the leaders of 3 combiner teams. We get Silver Bolt, Motormaster and Onslaught. The figures come with combiner kibble so hopefully we will see subsequent series come out with the rest of the combiner teams. Check out the images below.

So does this mean Kabaya's planing the rest of the Aerialbots, Combaticons and Stunticons?

woo! combiners!

Please tell me I'm not dreaming because I see updated G1 combiners that resemble their cartoon selfs more than the G1 toy. Not only that, but we have Motormaster with clearly his combiner crotchplate on his back and Onslaught with his chest shield. I don't care that these will be small figures, I HAVE to get these, and the limbs.

If you look carefully you can see the back of Superion's head on the top of the jet in front of the waist piece. Also, Menasor's head (the top at lest) pokes up from the back behind Motormaster's. Let's hope for some Terrorcon and Seacon love in the future. And while I'm thinking about it...didn't they release a Hot Spot last year?

These bastards look awesome.

Apparently the next wave after these will be called Gaia Scramble and will include two limb members from each team.

That's awesome that they gave Motormaster his animated head instead of his traditional toy head. Kudos Kabaya!

Wo-hoooo! Combinerjunk is present!

so japan gets these and we get kreons, i hate hasbro

I bought Hot Spot on a whim (along with the other two in his wave, WfC Optimus and Deathsaurus), and I have to say that Hot Spot is absolutely FANTASTIC! I'm still disappointed with Optimus, and Deathsaurus is quite cool, but Hot Spot is definitely the standout from his wave, even without being a combiner torso. I'm sure these new ones will be great, and I'm looking forward to picking up Superion and maybe Menasor.

Dude, YES! I need some combiner love on my WST shelf! Onslaught and Silverbolt, at least. I really hope these guys get their limbs. Looks like they probably will, why would they include combiner kibble if not? I still need to catch up on the previous wave of these guys too.

w00t!

These look fantastic. While I got the Protectorbots last year, I felt the limbs weren't quite up to scratch compared to Hot Spot (who was, like all Kabaya, a great figure) but I'm betting they've learnt and these limbs will be as good as the bigger guys.

I'd like to see razor claw and Leo kaiser.

Thanks to the Rakuten shop toysanta we have our first look at the "limb" figures in Kabaya's latest round of combiners. The assortment only features six molds, two from each combiner team, that effectively pull double duty. Each figure can be transformed into two different characters depending on how the parts are put together. For example the pictured Vortex figure can be reconfigured into Blastoff. The molds will also come in different colors to help further the differences in the characters. These six can combine on their own to form a larger robot and of course combine with the recently revealed Kabaya team leaders. Images mirrored below.

Kabaya is inventing new characters again, but they're just weird colored Stunticons, okay I guess. Combined form looks good though! Fireflight and Air Raid lookin' snazzy as always.

Not entirely sure what's going on with Vortex there, he's giving an Astrotrain vibe in robot mode.

Right now you'll have to colour me confused, but it looks interesting and I want them

Well...that's odd. I hope they put out another wave with more characters so we can get full combiner teams for Onslaught & Silverbolt.

It looks to me like the Vortex-ish figure is a triple change that is part Vortex and part Blastoff. This way, it can be used as either. This is the reason for the Astrotrain vibe we are getting from it. I'm guessing that we'll see another set of 6 figures to complete the 3 combiners.

Is the combiner head... Starscream with his crown?

ok, looks like we are going to have to get 2 sets and do a lot of painting. I can see getting 2 characters out of the arialbot and stunticon molds, and vortex has me convinced he can do blastoff as well, but how are we supposed to get swindle out of brawl?

fix'd ^

I too am curious to see how this is going to play out. Worst case scenario, I guess, is to have to mix-and-match the scramble combiner limbs. What a crazy concept.

Wait, the kits will come in different colors? So does that mean there's a possibility of getting a box that's all vortex and Brawls in different colors and thus not get a complete set?

There's 10 to a box so you'll have 6 unique and 4 double ups.

When you buy a box it's never lucky draw. You always get the same assortment so you can always complete a set.

but with the way its shelling out, we may need 12 to get a complete set, 6 regular colors and 6 alternate colors
