In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Deluxe Dead End

I now want pictures of Rook with devestators fists...

I love how his weapon is a tailpipe that, I guess, he just beats you to death with. It's like the candlestick and the revolver weren't available that day.

All kidding aside, I love this figure.

Yet, you are the twatwaffle resorting to name calling.

That also gives more backing to the rumour that he will be released in Japan under the MP line.

Perhaps, but I find that hard to believe; the heads may fit famously with the MP line, but not much else. Isn't "Unite Warriors" more likely?

Ya! I love the pipe. Just supports the idea that these guys are a street gang of unruly thugs. "Arielbots. Come out and play-e-ay."

I dont know, its not the same scale and they cant interact with the other figures scramble city style.

It's you who said that, not me.

Loving the colours, i do want menasor but I need some better pictures of Offroad. Though I'm nabbing black Jack when I see him, he looks really fun to play with.

Yeah, why hasn't anyone made a bong for transformers anyway?

they would have to redo devy from scratch for it to be mp worthy.

Same in America, but they're still part of "Combiner Wars." (:

Especially when it's obvious.

I think we need a new thread...
Alpha Bravo - So Scandalous He Needs His Own Thread

how has Va'al not made that thread yet?

Why not make it a more general thread, like Replacement Combiner Limbs - So Scandalous They Need Their Own Thread, just so we can include Offroad and Rook? Why should Alpha Bravo be singled out?

Well Offroad is at least painted like Wildrider in alt mode for those who only care about displaying Menasor. And Rook was more of a solution to the Groove scale issue. But Alpha Bravo was a blatant insult to G1 fans by Hasbro. Wh created him ? Why ?

Notice on his TFwiki, his IDW continuity is a whopping 2 sentences. No pictures, backstory, or listing of what issue of which IDW comic he appeared in. Does anybody even own this mysterious comic book where Silverbolt dies and Alpha Bravo takes his place ? Or is it just an urban legend made up by pro IDW fans ? Somebody please take pictures of the actual comic...

I must say, my reservations about new characters aside, this CW line seems very impressive so far. Much better than previous lines. I might have to break my Optimus, Starscream, and masterpiece figures only rule.

I can't agree more. They may be nice for a mass release like CW or Unite Warriors, but those constructicons are NOT MP caliber, by a long shot

Tailpipe bludgeoning weapon earns all the win. im so excited over this next wave i almost want to BBTS them to get em as soon as possible.

But at the same time, we are also including Generations Megatron and Legends Bombshell in Combiner Wars while Takara is not. Those are sold as part of their Legends line and TAV line respectively. So right there, the two lines are not in synch.

I see good points for both outcomes. Though if Devastator is released in the MP line, I dont think it would be as individual robots, but instead as a big gift set.

Deadend looks good, I'd probably buy it even if it wasn't a combiner.

I wonder if Rated X has someone else turn on his computer.

RID #33. The image on TFWiki is the only panel he shows up in. As many of us, me included, have said multiple times.

You don't read the comics, you don't care for them, you dislike this new character. We get it. It's fine. Neither do other users on here, and it's also fine. Some of us do, and that is also fine.

Let's move on.


In other news...

MODERATOR NOTE: There will be no name-calling, insulting or disrespecting on the boards, thank you. Any further comments that attack other users for their opinions will be dealt with accordingly.

I really like how Dead End has a chest piece covering the combiner port. It's simple but really adds to the individuality of the figure.

To think Dead End's the template for Streetwise. Poor guys, both of them.

I've got the comic...but I don't wanna show you

For the record silverbolt is still alive oh and slingshot is just heavily damaged but meh, we dont need him, he's surplus to requirements really.

And if I ever met the person responsible for his design, I'd buy him a beer (or whatever his poison)

Dead End wouldn't like being used to make an Autobot or won't care, and vice-versa. Dead End and Streetwise are another pretool pair, like Air Raid and Skydive, and Offroad and First Aid.

man it sucks spending 30 minutes scanning things and missing the conversation.

It really does look nice. For a new line, they really have made some really nice looking stuff. I think that's what some people seem to be forgetting; it's a new line, not MP. Who cares if Alpha Bravo is in or out, in my collection, it won't be the end all, be all Superion anyway. I'll wait for an MP, and get this as a place holder in the mean time, which could be many years. What irks me, however, is the thought that parts of this line could be rebranded into the MP line, which would be a seriously bad move. For people willing to pay upwards of $80 for a single car, then it'd better be perfect, which is what that line hits 95% of the time. To include the new Devastator, with his glaring flaws and obvious compromises made due to price point would bring the entire line down. If an MP Devastator is coming, I'd expect each constructicon to be in the $80-90 range, and also look like it. The CW line is great for a mainstream line, but it is not high end collector grade material, and I'm sure it's not intended to be.

love the tailpipe weapon. the stunticons were always like thugs in a gang to me.

Well, Wheeljack does say that Slingshot is "gone" and consistently refers to him in the past tense. That seems to pretty strongly suggest that he's dead.

Group of stunt cars that fear no one and are led by a giant semi truck whos as good being a stunt vehicle as a helicopter as being with a bunch of jets. But no one is going to argue that because of 30 years of nostalgia

For those not old enough to remember, Motormaster came out at a time when 'Goliath' on Knight Rider was still a recent memory, so he made a perfect fit with the Stunticons.
Go Garth Knight!!

Also the movies duel and maximum overdrive.

The Stunticons always gave me a Mad Max vibe, and Motormaster being a big rig was reminiscent of leader-esque vehicles.

Did somebody mention Transformers and Mad Max?

would be cool if the fanbot combiner is mad max

Looking real good can't wait to get all of the stunticons

If I were a paranoid man having a bad week as far as being counted is concerned, I'd swear a post I made earlier about Hasui's involvement with Devy has gone missing....

IF I were a paranoid man having a bad week as far as being counted is concerned...

'cos y'know people notice me all the time...

Maybe if I say ALPHA BRAVO!

I can't wait for Defensor, because new torsos will bring on the fun!


Power Core Combiner-inspired.


Chicken Starscreamus.


Munky Ultra Prime.

Nah, you just posted it in a different thread

sadly, that monkey prime is better than the official one.

A new day, a new sighting! Seibertron.com's very own Cyber Bishop (retired Admin extraordinaire) has found Combiner Wars Leader Class Armada Megatron at a Toys R Us store in New Orleans Louisiana!

He provided an image as proof and we've mirrored that image below, as well as the post he shared it on, due to it being a closed (to the public) Facebook group known as Transformers Addicts.

If you have any sightings, please send them to us at sightings@seibertron.com and news to news@seibertron.com and if we can use your submission, you'll get the credit and your name up on our front page! Also, please remember to share your sightings by posting on our sightings forum, which can be found here: Seibertron Sightings Forum



Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Oh, cool stuff! Wish they'd hit my BBTS POL.

For those worried about Motormaster not fitting as a "stunt" vehicle, here is another way of looking at them.

It's a team made up of characters with mental flaws so heavy their personal development is permanently "stunted".

See what I did there.....

I agree that MP is its own thing and any re-branding as you describe would definitely bring the line down. I am curious as to why the CW Megatron and Devastator are so close in size to their MP counterparts. If they are trying to kill two birds then does that mean we will never get those figures.

I don't think they'll never happen but I do think Devastator is a ways off. And as far as Megatron goes, a line that prides itself on being incredibly g1 accurate will not have a tank Megs. Since there's been no official announcement of MP-25, maybe he's next, who knows? Patience pays off with this line.

See, I make a mistake and BAM! Noticed! Story of my life. I couldn't find the news post I originally used on the front page and concluded this was the thread (Thank you) Ah well, since I'm here...

I like Alpha Bravo.
There. I said it.

Honestly, I do hope Slingshot and Wildrider get here eventually. I'd rather we get new additions to teams rather than replacements. As someone who loved his Stunticons as a kid, I'd be miffed if the original G1 teams were NEVER going to happen. On the flip side, I won't complain if it's just a waiting game. Ironically, Wildrider was the elusive chap keeping me from finishing Menasor back then. Until mom, like a boss, special ordered him at the counter

Aw, heck. Why the goofy ARMADA version first? Me want G1 version!

And with a trailer, he's the hypothetical big rig that drives the others from show to show.

As far as MP Megs goes we do have to consider that Hasbro MAY purposely not slip this one into distribution.

Any one of us old timers had stories (urban legends most of the time) of the kid stopped for having a gun that turned out to be Megs, as all of us are aware of the need for the "orange barrel safety plug" attached to pieces to designate the piece was not, in fact, a working firearm.

Hasbro likely has weighed the pros/cons on this one, and decided that attempting to release him here will be too much trouble, should there be any negative news stories that their product gets attached to. Regardless even if this is what is happening, you know they will dance around the issue, because if a Hasbro rep was asked at a convention or show, and said something to the effect of-
<Hasbro will not be releasing Masterpiece Megatron for North America or Europe as his gun form may cause problems.>
-would at best bring upon then the wrath of certain members of our fandom, and at worse possibly find themselves being targeted by organizations like the NRA turning their reluctance to sell something gun-related into some kind of right-wing conspiracy to keep kids from embracing gun culture. It's silly, but sadly we live in a society where that is a plausible situation.

After all there was a reason that Classics Megs was "Nerfed" so to speak.

I don't get why people say Alpha Bravo isn't as fast as the others. Have they looked at his vehicle mode? He's a giant bullet with rotors and missiles mounted on him! He's the most aerodyamic out of the entire Aerialbots, what with their awkwardly visible robot kibble and such.

I would never expect Hasbro to release a gun Megs, but that in no way precludes TT from doing an updated one. Hasbro is understandably stand-offish at the thought if it, but who relies on Hasbro for MP releases anyway? If you did so, you'd miss most of the line.
