Gallery of Hasbro Product Display with Sky Lynx, Bruticus, Shockwave, Leader Skywarp, Chop Shop and more!

I may be a little bit in love with SkyLynx, especially in Barber's lines for him.



Mini Shockwave is also adorable!



And in fact, may further reinforce the idea that Bruticus will have very little to do with the comics after all. Shockwave has been gone since Dark Cybertron, after all.

Wait... Blast Off is a straight redeco of Quickslinger?!

FINALLY A SKY LYNX! SWEET! Even though I would rather he be leader size and not combine, I am very very happy with this voyager. Price is good as well.

I suspect Takara will come to our rescue...again. I also want them to fix Vortex's colors. I know the yellow and red details are toy accurate, as is Hasbro's usual modus operandi, but they look awful. I'd rather the most subdued pallet of the G1 cartoon model.

I LOVE Sunstreaker's bio

Fantastic shot as always! That Bruticus looks amazing.

It's cool that we're getting a Sky Lynx, but I'll stick with my Titan Class one, thanks.

Where's Kickback?

I just want a mini Shockwave (I think Takara might add a little lilac.) for whatever Bruticus I pick up.

Where's Kickback!?

Okay hasbro, you're f-ing with us now.

Yes! These are amazing Don't really understand why so many people love sky-lynx? is it his part in some comic series, is it to fill a gap in your updated collection, is it fond memories? Sky Reign looks so amazing; and it was clever to pull a 180 (literally) on us with Hotspot/Onslaught. Want Chopshop, as I never got the first version (that insecticon guy), the auto-cars are an insta-skip, though I need some to combine with Sky-Lynx...

Dammit Has/Tak

Really cool how balls to the wall they went with Vortex's colors.

While we might have guessed a lot of these molds, way to the US for a loop with Brawl and Swindle. Plus, Swindle is a Stryker-like APC, which makes me think fondly of an old Swindle-as-Drebin movieverse bio I once worked up.

Is that the Onyx tablet device from The Transformers #42?

Are the Soundwave rumours also being sort of kind of confirmed..?

I NEED THAT BRUTICUS!!! Like you wouldn't believe how bad I need him. And I need that Shockwave even more then that. I am perfectly fine with Blast Off being a jet. I don't like Brawl because the stock photos in the other thread made him look green.


Also, is it just me or is Sky Lynx retooled from Silverbolt? His combined form looks like it to me. Granted I don't have Silverbolt so I can't say for sure.

It'd be cool, so long as it doesn't use that god-awful op/motormaster mold; at this point though (with the (pseudo) reveal of Blaster)mare we assuming he'll be a repaint of blaster just for ease of re-purposing these companion figures?

He is (99%) most-assuredly a new mold, having both cyclonus and silverbolt looking at me and the gallery pics of Skyreign brought up. If it is, its a complete gutting of the figure ala rid arcee => chromia, except more.

That latter part wpuld make a lot more sense, yes. Perhaps Soundwave on Jupiter will have something of the new body, too. Hmm.

Ok, cool. He just really looked like Silverbolt

Finally, an Optimus toy that can be called a Star Convoy homage without me complaining about the overuse of that comparison

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! HOW HASBRO CAN EVERYTHING BE SO AWESOME?! HOW DID THEY TURN A SIX WHEELED S.W.A.T TRUCK INTO HOUND AND SWINDLE! HOTSPOT AND ONSLAUGHT OUT OF ONE MOULD!? HOW DOES WHEELJACK LOOK SO MUCH LIKE WHEELJACK BUT MADE OUT OF A MOULD THAT'S NOT EVEN HIS!?! BRUTICUS RUNNING ABOUT WITH A SHOCKWAVE GUN?! TITAN WARS?!?

SKYLYNX IS SO FABULOUS, HANDSOME AND CHARMING HE DESERVES HIS OWN PARAGRAPH!

HASBRO YOU HAVE WON EVERYTHING TODAY WELL DONE! HELL EVEN CHANGING BLASTOFF INTO A JET IS A GOOD IDEA! (why there was a space shuttle in the COMBATicons is baffling? puts AlphaBravo into perspective!). WITH TARAKA'S IRONHIDE AND PRIMAL I'M GONNA BE ON A TRANSFORMERS BUZZ FOR WEEKS!



You can tell I'm exited, pretty much everything's in capitols!

Isn't Hasbro giving us BOTH colorations though? G1 cartoon AND G1 toy accurate Combaticons at retail?

I love Blast Off as a fighter jet, I just wish they retooled him and Vortex. They could've used one helicopter retool for one of the Victorion helicopters and Vortex and Alpha Bravo/Blades for the other Victorion Helicopter.

I also think that a retool of First Aid would've suited Trailbreaker better as he had the enclosed back but I'm ok with Offroad for Ironhide though because of TFP. They could've then used Offroad for Hoist as the fist on the back kinda looks like a towing device of some sort. Oh well, I missed both Generations Trailbreaker and Hoist so I'll get Trailbreaker without a doubt and if they do Hoist, I'll get him too. Who am I kidding, I'll get all the Autobots regardless. I've just always loved the Scramble City styling. That and my Universe Ironhide's and Prowl's paint got all crappy so I need new ones anyway.

Am I the only one who loves that Chopshop can use his Targetmaster self as a weapon just like Waspinator? So if they truly plan on completing teams then Kickback should be soonish after Chopshop hopefully. Then a Ransack repaint/tool of Kickback and a Barrage repaint/tool of Bombshell. So where does that leave Venom? A retool of Kickback and/or Ransack?

I think I'm going to have to cut myself off at the "leader" class Seeker trio. I would've gotten Voyagers no problem but these I may have to pass on unless I find them on sale like I did Grimlock, Jetfire and Armada Megatron.


Oh yeah I almost forgot. I absolutely LOVE that Sky Lynx. I might have to get two, one for itself and the other for combining.

And why oh why couldn't they have at least changed that all white prime into white with red legs instead of grey? Red legs would've been all it really needed to be so close to a Thunderclash homage. Sure there's a lot of navy and teal missing but the red legs would've looked so good on it especially with Hot Rod as the chest.

I think doing the autobot cars is cool. I get why they have to reuse molds - buy my god can they at least give them new weapons - Ironhide holding and axe and Sunstreaker holding a pipe is just ridiculous and stupid.

As soon as i saw that sky lynx was being made i was like OH HELL YEAH FUCK YEAH IT WAS FINALLY TIME THEY MADE SKY LYNX
