In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Blades

I've never used this phrase before, but I'd say his face looks...angrily constipated.

That is one big, fat face on Blades. Impressive.

One of the things I noticed that has made me pass on these Combiner Wars figures is they all seem to have most of there parts on their back, in other words (Back Packs ).
This is a easy way out in design, make most of the parts just flip up on the back like a shell in robot mode.

I don't like these designs and hope that the Constructicons are not so much this way. That is the set I am after.
To each his own, but my displays must be worthy.

Were the G1 figures any different? Slide out/flip around legs, pull out arms, flip up the front, and you're done

Blades look pretty decent, can't wait to get him. Would be perfect if I found and bought him before any other limbs, since he's the very first Combiner limb I ever got.

I'm treating the CW stuff a lot like PCC figures.

They are fun, and I'm not taking them too seriously.

I'll prolly get it.

First of, sorry, I tend to take everyone's opinion on the internet as that of an expert, super balanced person.

But Combiner Wars is by far one of the best Transformers lines ever. G1 characters, better than Cybertron posability yet still very stable solid figures with not to complex transformations.

To even compare this to non-transforming limbs & a "scout" sized team leader is simply


Agreed with the he has to be Overlord but if they call him Overlord the fandom will once again

Now my opinion, which is awesome, I like Cyclonus! A lot more than the flimsy Takara Henkei one which I ditched. Now he has the bulk he should have, that sniper pose is awesome

I am Really liking what Hasbro is doing here. I thought it could not be done, mega (voyager) sized teamleaders with deluxe limbs. But I lost my right to complain about anything Transformers HasTak sends out since Fall of Cybertron/Generations. They already have my full support till 2017 or something.

If it was, you failed.

Great figure, both of them. Easily my favourite design of the line, not so sold on Blades head but i'm not going hardcore G1 on the line

Excellent Mold and 2 excellent figures. They look amazing and I am suitably satisfied. and by satisfied I mean I love them all!

These are not G1 figures (Transformers Generations Combiner Wars) and it's 2015. Is this the best we can do in design?
Hell, G1 figures might have been blocky,but many didn't have back pack style designs. Also they stand the test of time and don't fall apart like the new China reissues of G1 figures or light weight crappy feeling plastic of today. Just saying !
Like I said, I will leave them on the pegs for you my friend, spend your money !

When it comes to design, sometimes less is more. I actually appreciate the simplicity in design and transformation compared to the unnecessarily complex 3P offerings (I feel sick after saying 3P...). But whatever floats your boat

Protectobots are coming and yet we haven't got our Menasor and Megatron here. I'm pretty sure that we will be getting a Vortex out of this mold.

I cancelled my pre-order of this wave. I was just going a bit crazy on preorders, but man. I hope to find these in stores. He looks great!
