He's looking really good!
I hope that we'll be seeing more shots with other combiners to show is scale.

I think we can all agree that while far from perfect, these are great for the pricepoint
As a side note I wonder if the club is going to run with all these new molds and create a new combiner

I feel like that too.

So no more kibble(i.e. detached hip guard etc except fists and weapons)? Given the price point, yup , this IS looking good! I can't wait for the Tomy version!
Hopefully they recreate the chrome parts for Silverbolt ala G1!

i'm digging these so much.. the only niggles are the hands showing (they could've had them fold inwards or something) and well I have 3 ultra class figures that will get overshadowed by this lot

Powerglide, Silverbolt, ...

This is amazing! I am really amazed by Powerglide since it was written a few pages ago that I shouldnt except the same complexity and posability as a scout in a Legends figure. And yet here it is and it looks great. 10 steps to convert, that's as complex as the Voyager Optimus coming out too.
So Windcharger really has no excuse.

Wow, this looks waaaaaayyyy better than the ones shown off at Botcon (mistransformed...AGAIN!!!) and I will now probably not only think twice about that next 3rd party combiner, but I'll actually wait until Has/Tak release their own version of it before I even put in a preorder on BBTS. I really didn't expect these to look this good, but there he is in all his Generations style combiner glory. My only nitpick is the forearms which are a bit too long (apeish) and he has the same problem that FP's not-Menasor has with the extremely obvious robot legs pretending to be arm joints but looking more like an anvil hanging on 2 spaghetti noodles. But unlike with FP's, since this one's arms are too long for my tastes, I've got a sneaking suspicion that I can either fix completely or at least improve both situations by simply collapsing the thighs into the lower legs a bit assuming the legs transform by extending out of the lower/rear bits of the jets/cars etc., which it looks like they do. I may lose just a bit of articulation, but for what I'll gain in better proportions and less ANAS (Anvil-Noodle-Arm-Syndrome
) I think it will be well worth it.
And oh yes, that Powerglide is one of the best looking 'Classics' style minibots I've ever seen. Not even the third parties have topped that with any of their offerings for this or any other character so far in my opinion, at least for G1 cartoon and toy accuracy. He looks damn perfect and he will be mine.

If you mean Onslaught, the third and fourth team have yet to be announced/or confirmed, so they could be anyone.

To mis-quote one of my favorite Japanese superheroes: SUPERION KITAAAAAA!!!!
Looks excellently well balanced and articulated, wish we could've gotten some knee action there, with the actual joints. And I'm really hoping Silverbolt's elbows are tight for the way that they combine.
Nexus Maximus part deux?

On the other hand, he is woefully out of scale with most Classics figures (the A10 Thunderbolt is a pretty large plane- the Ultra figure was actually fairly well scaled). That said I'd happily pick him up for my Legends collection, as he does look pretty good.
As for Superion himself, he looks pretty neat, although those hands are way too big. The amrs obviously being robot mode legs doesn't bother me though- at the end of the day Superion is a robot made of slightly smaller robots, so it stands to reason that his combined mode wouldn't be a perfect humanoid.

Still a less unfortunate name than dear old Spastic.

anyone else think its odd that the pics show him using silverbolts knee joint instead of the combiner port joint?

Didn't Google it, but I TFwiki'd it. I understand now, much to the violation of my youthful impressionable mind.
Nexus Prime repaints of these guys would actually be neat.

All we'd need are 2 Combaticons and we're all set. Although, Heatwave could be a Hot Spot repaint (a la Heatwave the Firebot) and Topspin is a copter. Landquake is a problem as a tank...
