In addition to the official images and first look from the floor for the Generations line, pretty much all under the Combiner Wars banner for the next waves, NYCC 2014 brings us a breakdown of the various Transformers figure classes being released by Hasbro - and it looks like everything combines with everything else, Leader class excluded. Check them out below!
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS LEGENDS Assortment
(Ages: 8 & up /Approx. Retail Price: $9.99/Available: Spring 2015)
THE TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS LEGENDS assortment features classic TRANSFORMERS, re-imagined for the present day. Featuring the simplest conversion in the TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS line, these figures are the perfect introduction for kids ready to move up to the more sophisticated world of TRANSFORMERS Generations. They're also detailed enough to appeal to the most hardcore collector. Each figure can convert into a weapon or accessory for a TRANSFORMERS COMBINER figure (sold separately) and includes a Collector Card inspired by the TRANSFORMERS LEGENDS mobile game from DeNA. Figures in 2015 include HUFFER and BLACKJACK. Each sold separately.
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS DELUXE Assortment
(Ages: 8 & up /Approx. Retail Price: $16.99/Available: Spring 2015)
Each TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS DELUXE figure can be combined with three other DELUXE figures, one VOYAGER figure, and LEGENDS figures to form a larger TRANSFORMERS COMBINER robot. Each Deluxe figure is based on a classic TRANSFORMERS character and converts from vehicle to robot form, as well as into an arm or a leg of a larger COMBINER robot. Interchangeable parts allow you to create your own figure from any combination of COMBINER WARS LEGENDS, DELUXE, and VOYAGER. Each figure features incredible detail, classic style and conversion for a premium look and feel. 16 DELUXE figures will be available in 2015, each sold separately. Each Deluxe figure sold in the U.S. includes a full-size, full-length issue of IDW Publishing’s TRANSFORMERS: COMBINER WARS comic book series with an exclusive cover. Those figures sold outside of the U.S. include a Collector Card.
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS VOYAGER Assortment
(Ages: 8 & up /Approx. Retail Price: $24.99/Available: May 2015)
Each TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS DELUXE figure converts from robot to vehicle and also can be combined with four DELUXE figures and LEGEND figures (each sold separately) to form a larger TRANSFORMERS COMBINER robot. Interchangeable parts allow you to create your own figure from any combination of COMBINER WARS LEGENDS, DELUXE, and VOYAGER. Each VOYAGER scale figure is based on a classic TRANSFORMERS character and includes a Collector Card inspired by the TRANSFORMERS LEGENDS mobile game from DeNA. Each sold separately.
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMBINER WARS LEADER Assortment

Each figure sold separately and includes a Collector Card inspired by the TRANSFORMERS LEGENDS mobile game from DeNA.

Pity re huffer, I have a new found interest in smaller classes since I got metroplex. Besides going well with the big bot, think I was impressed enough with the engineering and detail of scamper yo feel I was missing out a bit. Anyways, a new mould woulve been nice.
Thunder cracker works well, tho he is perhaps one of the few iterations of a a size appropriate to his jet form, i think I'll be sticking with my deluxe seekers. Jet fire was at least meant to tower over the others. The retool works very well though and took me a few seconds to realise it was a jetfire retool when I saw the thumbnail. obviously the cost is a big issue cos...
I know I'll be spending a lot of money on those frickin combiners. Even prime looks tempting there,

$17 for a deluxe this is getting out of hand, i barely buy anything now because of these idiotic prices. If their goal is to alienate people its working, im one price hike away from abandoning this toyline completely.

16 Deluxes... 4 combiners. I'm betting a portion of those will be redecos/remolds. Yay.

To all those hating on Thundercracker's Leader size, please keep in mind:
(1) Generations Leaders are closer to Universe Ultra in size (i.e. shorter than the ROTF Leaders)
(2) We are also getting a Generations Leader Megatron, so TC should fit in with Megatron nicely
That's not to say I'm super happy with the fact that TC is Leader-sized (I would have rather seen a healthy voyager that could more directly compete with iGear's Raptor Squadron), but I am saying that the size is acceptable, IMHO.

Well yea, except one of the voyagers is Optimus... so 3 combiners, plus Optimus Super Mode?![8-}]( "Silly")
I wonder who the 4th Voyager will be.

I reay like that Thundercracker. So different, uet so similar. I'm just not sure if I want a leader class version of him in my Decepticon collection.
And Huffer... I'm...not sure how I feel. It looks good, but it also looks like somebody put Huffer's had on Optimus's body.

Well, that Thundercracker was kinda out of left field. It works, though, and I'm glad we actually have a jet-former who's relatively in scale with Deluxe cars. Having a jet-former be a Deluxe just...doesn't work (unless you're putting them with Legends figures). Also, I really hope that shiny finish he seems to have is on the actual toy.
Would have preferred Skywarp but oh well.
Huffer looks pretty cool, I might very well get him.

I'd love to know what made them choose Thundercracker. Seems very left-field. That said seeing that figure in blue, and with the original white mold and abundance of upcoming Aerialbots in mind, I'm wondering about the potential for a custom G1 Dreadwind and Darkwing.
Meanwhile these Legends figures are really starting to annoy me. Every time I successfully talk myself out of getting involved with them Hasbro go and reveal yet another Minibot.![:-x]( "Mad")
I don't have the money right now to go back and collect an entire line of figures I've been trying to ignore.

Between the Universe Ultra Darkwind/g and Botcon Dreadwind... do we need new versions?

i was thinking of it as a skyquake / dreadwing thanks to their prime incarnations. It does seem that thundercracker does not come with jetfire's backpack, could it be left out and might lead to a cheaper price (i have a feeling it will be w/o the pack but same price as jetfire)

They're not taking the backpack out - that's what makes up the rear of the jet in alt mode, and is essential to the transformation.

You can guarantee ideas are being thrown around already for the Combiner Wars gestalts.
Working with what we have seen so far could we expect the likes of Dr Wu, Prof Heiesenberg, Dr Killinger, SXS and Beelzeboss banging their heads together to create...
Weapon set - G1 inspired guns and swords?
Replacement head(s) - G1 inspired individual bots and/or gestalt head?
Replacement hands & feet - Articulated fingers/combining hands and feet into weapon?
Replacement Legends bot - Improved and articulated replacement?
Replacement Deluxe bot - Improved and articulated replacement?
We have already heard news that Beelzeboss may be working on replacement parts/entire figure.![:-?]( "Thinking")

mm I was referring to the detachable backpack that came with jetfire, it's not being shown in either the pshopped images or the comic con photos. It might not be shown as it's not ready or they decided to do without it as it doesn't contribute to thundercracker.

We may not get the jetpack with Thundercracker, but we are getting null rays.

yeah the jetpack thingy - though that one is of the prior generations version.
in the photos there's also a 2nd hand blaster though I reckon since it's not in the pshopped image, it won't be included.
I do like the new thundercracker detailing, though the mould's inherent flaws still bely what would have been one of the best figures in years.

5 is the minimum, with Optimus as an "extra". And we have no reason to speculate Optimus will get a team of his own.
16 Deluxes and 7-11 Legends have been confirmed to appear tho. And Huffer is a must-get![:lol:]( "Laughing")
