Promotional image for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars featuring Soundwave

Posted by william-james88 May 26, 2015 at 2:12pm CDT 48,962 views
A little tidbit to tide us over to the next big reveal. Fellow Seibertronian Moonshot has shown us this new promotional image which appears on the official Transformers Facebook page. It features Soundwave with the tagline "Laserbeak. I have a mission for you" and the comment:

Soundwave has been tasked with obtaining information on the Combiners, and he’s sending Laserbeak to gather intel. Look out for updates and reports.


While this can mean anything at all, the only other link between Soundwave and the Combiner Wars toys so far has been the similarity between his recent appearance in the comics and the Combiner Wars Motormaster/Optimus mold. Feel free to speculate to your heart's content in the Energon Pub!

You read the title correctly - the UK has just seen the third wave of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Deluxes hit its retail stores (for now confirmed are ASDA and smaller local shops), with all the figures spotted across different locations. The photo proof below comes from fellow Seibertronian Crankcase79, who reports the finding in Leeds, price point £14.97 (approx $23).

Is the UK finally catching up? Unlikely, as the entire wave 2 (Stunticons and Air Raid) have yet to see the light of these grey shores. Make sure to flag up any sighting for these or other figures in the appropriate section and forums!

I'd been wondering about Soundwave's new robot mode in the IDW comic. Can't believe I didn't notice its similarity to the Motormaster/Optimus mold.

Well, Frenzy and Rumble are motorcycles in the comics now. They look more like Hasbro's Legends-class Groove than Takara's deluxe-class Groove, though.

I just hope the limbs are new molds. They have good repaint value, since each mold has been repainted at least three or four times.

If I had my way, they would simply mold Soundwave with an opening chest... and make G1 size cassettes that go inside. Limbs could be other characters... seekers, etc.

Not sure what vehicles the limbs could be that I'd be happy with. While I guess the tanks we got were probably the best option, they still didn't quite sit right with me.

Pondering.... >:oP

I think this is most likely what'll happen, but as well as that I wouldn't mind a repaint/retool of Leader Megatron based on that Galvatron design.

Thanks for reminding me... yeah, guessing you're right with the twins being motorcycles. That would make them too small for limbs... but they'll attach at the chest, likely. That's not bad. I also like them that size much better.

Those wouldnt serve as limbs of course, so I dont know what would happen. There is also the notion that the wheels along his chest section mean show that this isn't really the same mold and maybe just the artist inspiring himself. After all he does still transform into the same body he had before:

The Hot spot mold's chest, yes, but not the Optimus/Motormaster mold.

Groove is now available at hsbrotoyshop.com

I'm holding out on the Protectobots so far, as I am not huge fan of buying repaints/remolds, So I am waiting to see if the 3 unique molds for Defensor (Hotspot, Rook, Groove) will all show up in future eventual releases like the Combaticons or Technobots.

I'd be okay with a combiner team of his minions, or I'd settle for a Rumble from Groove. Oi! Somebody who owns the CW Motormaster or Prime, see if you can fit Groove as a chestplate.

:APPLAUSE: for proper use of Laserbeak. More proof that Hasbro's focus should be on G1 and the season 1 Transformers in particular, because no Combiner has generated more excitement this year than Devastator!

Hmm, you seem familiar. Can't quite put it together, though.

Devastator's toy came out in 1985.

Ravage and Laserbeak/Buzzsaw at deluxe size also could be remolded for Predacons.
