Both my TRU's have had no combiner figures, though I did come across a Thudnercracker and Windcharger. And I just picked up Windblade though she's technically a Generations figure. They need to get these AOE toys out on clearance.

The AOE figures are part of the problem, I think. Where I am, there are tons of those left along with some FoC Cassette bots and cons and even some Transformers Prime legends and the occasional deluxe figures. If the old stuff is still there, then the new stuff doesn't get distributed. Collectors get tired of waiting or else concerned they'll miss out and buy online. Then by the time we see CW toys, the collectors will already have what they want and then CW will be the new shelf warmers. The cycle starts anew.

he has no place in my collection, as he doesnt fit with generations or MP, but i dont care. hes just cool, and looks fun.

I'm starting to think the same about him, but unless BBTS breaks up more cases, there is little chance of men buying him.

He looks awesome, but i still think they should have made him Voyager class. He would be nearly perfect f they had. He's too big now compared to Classics. I don't understand why Hasbro wants to make Megs bigger than Prime all the time.

To make Megatron more intimidating?

I got Blackjack and Huffer today.

Blackjack is a nice little figure but as a combiner chest he sucks. Now, to be fare to him it's not actually his fault, again the problem lies with the chest pegs on ultra prime...they're just to damn short and as a result BJ's way too loose.

Huffer, well he's just awesome IMO.

Really? Target usually clearances TFs in MN about 3 or 4 times a year. All the stores clearance TFs (and lots of other toys) after X-mas. I was hoping to snag the OP-Grimlock Target Exclusive on clearance, but the three remaining at my regular Target were gone a couple of days after X-Mas.

The reality is that stores have thousands of products, and unless there's someone who knows anything about a particular toy line, they just rotate when their stock dwindles...

If the Seibertron.com gallery of Generations Combiner Wars Motormaster is not enough for you this weekend, fellow user Primetimereviews has shared with us his video of the figure - and we've embedded it below for your viewing pleasure!

The post now also includes a video review of Legends class Blackjack - ead below to check both of them out, and compare the latter to our gallery of the little chestcar here.

It's unfortunate that in my home town of Vancouver we've missed every wave of everything because of AOE stuff still clogging the shelves.
I don't mind ordering online but shipping and handling and the Canadian dollar being so bad is murder.

Good review, posted this in the thread the other day.

My Blackjack also suffers from the exact same issues, which suggest it could be a problem with mould. :-?

I was disappointed Megatron is so short next to MP-10, but I've changed my mind. He may look short next to MP-10, but he'll look good enough with Swerve, Tailgate, Skids, Whirl, et al., who I usually display separately anyway. My dilemma over which stickers to apply is resolved.

From the same source as yesterday's news story on Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Leader Megatron, we're happy to report a new selection of in-hand images of the bucket-head himself - including shots of both tank and robot mode, articulation close-ups, comparisons, poses and the sticker sheet featuring Decepticon, Autobot and chest pattern for all your Megatron wishes. Check them out below!

This guy looks awesome. I think I may have my Classics Megatron...

Definitely one of the best Megatrons I've seen in years, althro with that cannon it looks like he is trying to compensate for something. :twisted:

It can be collapsed in to shorten it.

Crud! I wish I knew how Motormaster and the Legends got out so early. I can't cancel my pre-order from Robot Kingdom so I'm stuck waiting. Then again Murphy's Law, I order them then they come in stock at RK.

Agreed. I'm stoked he comes with some stickers. Especially the swirly ones.

They sacraficed the iconic shape of megatrons arm cannon to make it a stupid tank barrel. They should have just included a seperate arm cannon and made the tank barrel fold up along his back somehow to emulate G1 Megatrons gun barrel. Then they could have kept it silver. Parts intragration has ruined yet another figure.

His actual fusion cannon, as demonstrated by Takara photographers, is located on the other end of the cannon. Just flip it around, and you're golden. :WHISTLE:

Entertainment Earth is where I got them from.

I also have them on order from Robot Kingdom and at BBTS. My solution nowadays is basically to order cases from everyone and sell off the extras when I get them via the Seibertron.com store. That way I get them from wherever they come into first. I'm done with retail hunting. It's much easier to just buy cases everywhere, especially now that I've got two little ones and am photographing the boxes anyways for the Seibertron.com galleries.

The person who took these pics mistransformed the cannon. This is the right way:

The new Megatron figure is amazing! :BOWDOWN:

Yeah a voyager class would have been perfect but then I'm reminded of Cybertron Megatron (aka Galvatron). I think his face sculpt is perfectly menacing and I just hope the Takara version has less red. :VEHI:
