Thanks once again to Ken Christiansen's Facebook page, we have a look at some cool line art he did for the SDCC 2015 Combiner Hunters box set of Chromia, Arcee and Windblade. While not responsible for the toys' decos, Ken did get to draw all three fembots for their box art, and the series of images below and on his page shows them off, and also gives us a glimpse at their full body poses that were cropped for the final product, as well as something of the challenge he had in drawing three separate figures as well as making all three drawings look natural as a group.

Back view of the SDCC Combiner Hunters box...the trick to these was that I needed to fit all three into a closeup shot for the front, and still not have them floating, or standing on each other's feet when you pull back to see the full figures.

That is some gorgeous art. A shame that the attention paid to the body detail was not also paid to giving Optimus/Motormaster's torso mode secure shoulder sockets (bigger tabs or better yet mushroom pegs would make all the difference in the world. That's all it would take.)

Gods I'm hoping the CW limbs get reissued. Also Optimus Prime.

We've been sharing a lot of Generations line and concept art, and we have even more today from artist Marcelo Matere! We're a bit Decepticon-heavy this time around, however, as Marcelo's new images feature Combiner Wars Leader Megatron and Starscream! These are, as stated above, line drawing versions of the packaging art. It's interesting to see pieces like these, to spot differentiation from the actual toys, and to see the full art. We don't get to see these in their full glory typically, as they get cut off by packaging designs. Check out the two works below, and stay tuned for more concept art coming later today!

At long last, the unused headsculpts for Combiner Wars Hoist (Trailbreaker's pretool) and "Ironclad" (Rook's original pretool) have finally been shown to the public thanks to RoboCon's Facebook:

Image

As can be seen from the above image, both heads were part of proposals for more Fun Pub figures, the above ones in particular being SG Autotrooper (the Offroad mold w/ the Hoist head) and SG X-Brawn (the Rook mold with his pretooled alternate head).

The reason I said "Ironclad" as Rook's pretool is, well, there's a bit of a story in that. See, Rook's original head pretool was actually Brawl, with the pretooled head made to resemble Brawl's noggin as, at the time, Hasbro hadn't yet made the separate Brawl mold that we ended up getting, so Rook being used for Brawl was a "just in case" backup plan if Hasbro needed it. They didn't, since Brawl did get his own mold, which left the Brawl-headed Rook pretool unneeded.

Then, when Hasbro was making plans for their Computron giftset, they brought back the Brawl-headed Rook to see use in that set as a new Technobot named "Ironclad", who was gonna replace Afterburner/Afterbreaker since he was gonna instead be made from the Legends class Groove mold (much like how Rook had replaced Groove in Hasbro's Protectobot releases). But then TakaraTomy went and made an Afterburner retooling from their Unite Warriors Deluxe class-sized Groove, so Hasbro quickly got their hands on that and scrapped their plans for both Legends class Afterburner/breaker and new character Ironclad.

Still, the Brawl-headed Rook pretool was not completely forgotten, as Fun Pub used it as the inspiration for the SG X-Brawn character who appeared in the final Shattered Glass-themed Club magazine comic storyline "Another Light". Based on the above image, SG X-Brawn was evidently one of Fun Pub's earlier proposals for BotCon 2016 along with SG Checkpoint (Offroad mold w/ the Trailbreaker head) and the SG Autotroopers also pictured above. But since that con ended up being another Beast Wars-themed con to pay tribute to both that series's 20th anniversary and BotCon's own legacy of having really taken off during the Beast Era, these proposals never came to fruition.


As for the other three proposals seen above, they are Maccadam/Alchemist Prime, Liege Maximo, and Solus Prime, but since those three aren't from Combiner Wars molds, their relevance is nil in this thread.

It's a shame that Hoist head is so heavily photoshopped over, can't even tell if there's really a sculpt underneath there or if it's all digital paint. Hopefully they have the real thing at the con.

Definitely display for now. Here's the updated info for the convention:

Pete's Robot Convention 2018, June 9 and 10.

Sweet to finally see them, did they get any information pertaining to original intent before Ironclad?

...Like I said, the head was meant for Brawl to be made out of Rook before Hasbro changed their minds and made him his own mold. These heads were Hasbro-made like Ratchet, Reflector, Counterpunch and Nemesis Prime Toxitron.

As for displaying, I'm not expecting any these to be seen there in person. These proposals will likely just be images seen only on a screen at the Night Shining, Inc. panel, much like how all the old BotCon 2011 and TFSS 7.0 proposals were shown as images-only at last year's RoboCon. The Solus head seen there, for instance, is just Arcee's head with Cybertron Override's horns and helmet crest photoshopped onto it (the final would have been an all new sculpt had it come about).

Hey, quick question:

Who would you all recommend between CW Silverbolt and Onslaught? They both look good, and they form the torsos of my 2 favorite combiners, but I can’t decide which to go for between the two. Onslaught may be the easier of the two to get limbs for with Blast Off getting a release soon, but I’m not sure.

Silverbolt is the torsobot that all other torsobots wish they could be. Simple and super effective transformation that's rock solid. Jet mode isn't particularly great though.

Are you asking who is better between CW Silverbolt or Onslaught or who is better between CW Superion or Bruticus?

Because there are very different answers depending.

Speaking of Hypotheticals....Now that I have PotP Inferno, I am going to pair him up with TAV Override. So that leaves my Wreckage Team without a Legends Class Figure.

I know there is a fan-mode to configure the Huffer/Pipes mold to fit in the open slot for the Optimus/Motormaster styled CW Voyager (which Toxitron is...) It's just with that pea-soup green, I'm not sure which would go better. I'm thinking Huffer *(considering Toxitron already has one orange HFG anyway...) But if anyone wants to make a case for Pipes (or Huffer), let me know...

I'm a jet guy - and a Concorde guy - and seeing Silverbolt's jet mode really made me check out on him. I totally understand why he is the way he is though, a Concorde/Concorde-inspired transforming alt-mode seems impossible to pull off in toy form! MP Silverbolt would be an insane figure.

EvasionModeBumblebee, I know you pretty much made up your mind, so I'm just reaffirming your decision. Silverbolt is the better torso, probably the best of the line. Personally, I prefer Cyclonus, but only because of the color.

o.supreme, personally I would go with Huffer, only because orange looks good with green and purple. Pipes should go with BCOP.

One quick and BIG warning with Silverbolt: the Superion head is prone to breaking off the hinge if not handled and moved properly. The issue was fixed with later releases of CW Scattershot, including UW Cyclonus, boxset and UW Scattershot, and other redecos and retools released around that time. Any version of Silverbolt is out of luck however :(

Whoa, I hadn’t heard of that issue before. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit: pun not intended

Silverbolt has arrived, and he’s really cool! Robot mode looks spot-on, the Superion torso looks awesome, and I actually like the alt-mode. I mean, yeah, it’s a robot doing yoga glued to the bottom of a jet, but it handles it much better than POTP Starscream.

Now unfortunately the only CW deluxe (and up until now only CW figure) I have is Prowl (which is ironic because CW is my favorite line from prime wars), so I’m having to get creative for limbs.

Well, from my experience, I've not had any trouble with bending the knees back 90 degrees on the Optimus/Motormaster mold. How are you getting "clearance issues?" Those wheels behind the legs don't bump into anything at the combination joint, nor on the back of any combiner limb. The robot mode feet of the Voyager torso stick off to the side. That's the intended configuration. Are you putting the feet at the back or front for some reason? That's not the correct configuration. Like I said before, I just earlier today played around with my Menasor after you made your complaints and found none of what you purported to be accurate. Why don't you take some pictures of what you think the problem is?

No, I'm putting the feet on the sides where they belong:

Can you turn your Motormaster's legs around the right way again (tires in back) and show me the clearance issue or bumping of the doors against the legs with pictures? I've got my (Unite Warriors) copy in the intended orientation, and I'm NOT getting the problems you're saying you are with the Dead End/Wildrider mold. I can get a 90 bend with no problem whatsoever.

Just tested it on my Optimus Prime and had the same problem. Which makes me wonder if it's a problem tied to the original version of the hip tooling - the feet are on the same sprue as the hips and pelvis after all. Unite Warriors Motormaster uses the retooled version of the hips.

That's entirely possible. I can't test that, unfortunately, as I only have versions of the mold with the fixed hips, Unite Warriors Motormaster and Convoy, Legends EX Grand Scourge, Combiner Wars Battle Core Optimus Prime, and TFSS Toxitron.

I think they botched Battle Core Optimus.
They gave him a new headsculpt based off of Star Convoy:

That's all well and good.

The screwup is that they still used the regular Optimus Prime combiner chest panels:

To further the Star Convoy homage, they should have used the Motormaster chest panels:

Posted by Emerje on December 16th, 2018 @ 4:48am CST
That looks more like a coincidence than anything intentional. The "windows" are partially blocked and the "lights" are the wrong way. There's no "star" on the chest, the grill is too low, and the entire thing is tiny. The existing Voyager chest windows feel like more of a homage thanks to the way the bottom corners are cut out recreating the shape of Star Convoy's chest windows.

All you have to do to fix this is slice off the small tabs on the arm the head swings up on, especially since they only serve to break the head off :HEADHURTS:
Though that might not be enough, the creamy plastic is particularly poor, but this will go a long way to helping avoid breaking

I'm just going from pictures and it looks good, but I've purchased figures that look good in pictures but when i got them I was less than impressed. Probably should have asked before I dropped the cash but kinda had to take the opportunity when it arised. :MAXIMAL:

I think it's more the novelty of wanting to own a "Generations" version of Sky Lynx talking rather than the quality of the toy. I don't own him personally, but from what I've read he's pretty decent. The only problems he has are loose joints in the tail and legs.

He does gain points for using the Lynx part in combined mode, plus his use as Liokaiser, and his sword (I like bots with swords). Shame he has no limbs to call his own, he could be a second Magnaboss. :lol:

Sky Lynx is an OK mold. the combiner hips are kinda weak and his posability isn't amazing, but he's still a pretty fun mold. I enjoy using him as a mount for other figures.

Oh and his Sky Reign head is fantastic. golden lion head!

Greetings All.... So, I'm looking ahead to the future, by culling figures from the past to keep my grand master Combiner Plan as in tact as possible.

I know that many of the legends class figures were designed as weapons and accessories for combiners, and many were not. Fortunately resourceful fans have fan-moded many of them.

*If* someone were ever to get a proper Modulus, what are your opinions on a fitting 6th member? I was thinking maybe Warpath? (as he is basically the last CW Legends Autobot unused by me), but there may be some from TAV or the PotP line I'm not thinking of.

Same question for Selects God Neptune what about CW Chopshop?

Playing around Victorion and finally applying her labels after holding on them for so long kinda sparked my interest in CW again. And the recent Select Seacons were scratching that itch too.

Now I need to apply the labels on my CW Defensor after sitting on them for around FIVE freaking years.

And then, I'll buy G1 Bruticus from my local TF store that will finally be allowed to reopen. I'll go there with my CW obsessed friend and he may binge on used stuff. Finally, when Japan Posts will manage to "unlock", I'll be able to import the UW Bruticus set from Mandarake. My friend may double-binge with UW Megatronia and maybe UW Bruticus as well. We will split the shipping cost then.

You're really lucky to have a local friend with the same passion as you to order packages with! I'm in the same boat with you guys. Really loved the CW sets and have been sulking, waiting for the remaining characters (Seacons, Dinoking, Monstructor, etc.)

Megatronia is beautiful! Lots of retooling and a beautiful color scheme. Have to highly recommend that one. UW Bruticus also has some satisfying changes (like the retooled propellor blades). Even better if you can track down the upgrade feet that match his colors, but that's tough now. :^Z

I'd recommend Baldigus (Ruination) over Bruticus. But... I was also able to snag the TR Scourge/Nemesis Prime to go with him for RiD 2000/Car Robots love.

I'll second Baldigus over Bruticus. The extra guns are really nice and the gold color really pops.
