Rumour: Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Bruticus, Deluxe Wheeljack, Legends Rewind and More

Interesting, provided these are fact, and honestly some of them are odd enough that it could be fact (over the years with hasbro i've learned the truth in rumors can be stranger than fiction) like pretty reasonable listings for winter 2015/16.

For the deluxe combaticons, I'm willing to believe that at least two of them, Blastoff and Brawl, could be new molds. However it wouldn't be to surprising if much like the stunticons, they were all new molds that could get re-purposed/retooled later, maybe into technobots, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe Road Caesar or Liokaiser; keeping with those Authoritative pseudo latin combiners (Victorion). Or maybe just other characters who knows.



Wheeljack makes sense in that it's a been a bit since they've made a neo-classics figure of him, and you can tell in recent years there are character outside of prime and bumblebee the staff likes to throw a bone at every once and awhile. And who knows, maybe this could lead to generations exhaust dohohoh......ho. (also never gonna happen)

Smokescream also makes sense because even though i'd think he's the one with the least demand, he's still one of the Datsun brothers. It makes sense for hasbro to open with the nice colorful one. This could lead to Bluestreak because MTMTE, and prowl; which I know prowlistator I want it to but yeah even for how much love hasbre's giving the comics and visa versa, maybe in another 30 years.

And speaking of comics, Trailcutter's an interesting addition considering he's, you know Dead. And not like just stabbed oh magic can bring him back if you clap you hands, no I mean the DJD fucked him up. But seeing as we got a pretty great generations figure year before last, i'm curious, yet mildly indifferent.

Rewind, Yes, all my yes. All i can hope is that this signals an eventual Chromedome headmaster. Yes i know the gimmick or brainstorm was a bit... twitchy, at best, but that was more of QC than anything else. If you got the revision instead of the early release, 9 times out of 10 it would play nice. And don't say hasbro won't do it because of the club, this wouldn't be the first time hasbro's done a character after the club/.

Wreckgar, probably a repaint of Groove. Maybe not, but it feels like it. Stripes, no idea maybe another Joe homage, or something from one of their other properties. I feel this one's probably going to be a new mold though. It could be something cat themed, maybe a new version of the cassetticon stripes, or maybe even tigertracks with a dumb name. Though i'm still leaning to joe something, due to the name stripes, and the inclusion of viper recently. If it isn't a cat, it's gotta be something super patriotic, like robot zombie George Washington patriotic. Stars and stripes 4eves baybe. Murica.

What they provide in the quoted post below is a list of new names and item numbers (nothing else) from a so-far unnamed toy retailer.

We seem to be getting confirmation for Bruticus and the Combaticons, the addition of three new deluxes in Wheeljack, Smokescreen and Trailbre-- cutt-- breaker, and Legends Rewind, Stripes and Wreck-Gar. Make of them what you will as you read through below, but be aware that none of this is currently set in stone.

Well, it is that time again... it's new toy listings time! All of these were given to me by a friend who works at a large retailer. I will be providing names and Item Codes. Please keep in mind these are merely names; I have no idea what they look like or the mold choices. Everything is subject to change, of course.

Alright, first up is Combiner Wars. I already revealed that we are getting Bruticus but I can now confirm his limbs... and breaking the trend Superion, Menasor, and Defensor began, the entire Combaticon original team will be released as deluxe limbs! They are:

Vortex-b4659
Brawl-b4660
Swindle- b4661
Blast-Off- b4662

But while we knew these guys were coming we didn't know about these next 3 deluxes , which make up, for now, their own wave.

Wheeljack-b5605
Smokescreen- b5607
Trailbreaker- b5608

While there were no new Voyagers in the list I was given, there were some new legends and they are quite interesting.

Rewind-b5612
Wreckgar-b5611
Autobot Stripes- b5610

COMBATICONS!!!!!

And rewind.

I'm wondering if there is going to be some completely new molds and only a couple of retools or just major retools all round of existing molds

Stripes?

Awesome, I'll definitely be grabbing Bruticus! I already have the FoC version with the Military Titans Onslaught, but he's always been my favorite combiner. I don't mind having two, especially if one has Hot Spot for the torso. Love the look of that mold.

Rewind and Wheeljack are also probable buys, but I'll have to see what WreckGar and Stripes look like first. I'm going to try to avoid buying the other deluxes, because with FoC Bruticus, CW Superion and Menasor I'm running out of space. I do want to see what Wheeljack looks like before making a final decision too. If he looks IDW enough, I'll get him. If not, Takara Lost Age and MP will be fine.

'Autobot' Stripes used to hang out with Twincast back in the day!

I guess if this is listed as a Legends class figure then it wont be a repaint of Ravage from the Universe Hound Deluxe from yesteryear?

I need Rewind AND Eject (bring back Perfect Effect!) so can we guess we'll see a repaint before the end of the year?

Those three 'Deluxe' figures, if they are actually Deluxe seem somewhat an odd choice as we have had all three characters represented very recently with their Generations Deluxe versions...?

Well damn. I own a Stripes. Sign me up!

I may very well have to replace my ancient and floppy FP Bruticus...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bruticus is staying with the original members!!!

AND Rewind!

It is definitely a good time to be a Transformers fan!!!

So Buzzsaw was rumored before, and now we have Rewind and Stripes potentially on the way. Given that Soundwave is currently supporting the CW Motormaster/Optimus body in the IDW comics, I wonder if we'll be getting a new Soundwave next year with all his cassettes?

soundwave has to be coming

Dat Cyclonus! I'm jelly.

Stripes?! STRIPES?! STRIPES?!

Hasbro is gonna be doing a main line toy of one of the most obscurer than obscure characters in existence?!!

#allaboardthehypetrain

The thought of a long-overdue modernized Classicsified Bruticus makes me giggle with glee. Love the Fall of Cybertron version despite its misgivings, but it was frustratingly close to what I wanted but not quite. Sign me the **** up!

Calling it now: Wreck-Gar from Groove, but heavily retooled.

Does he? Don't think I've read those issues, then...

Pretty awesome news.

So Wheeljack and Ironhide will join the Ultra Prime combiner with Sunstreaker, Mirage, and Hot Rod, with Trailcutter as an alternate? Remold First Aid into Ratchet..throw a Jazz repaint in there and maybe Sideswipe off of Streetwise..hopefully Prowl and maybe a Bluestreak..MAN!!

All of the G1 S1 Autbots swapping places in an Autobot combiner (with Legends class bots filling in as weapons/chest pieces)?! Who face DEVASTATOR at the end of the year?!

I know there's a picture floating around here somewhere of Soundwave walking around in the African plains (from a recent IDW issue) where he looks almost exactly the same proportionally as the Optimus/Motormaster mold.

EDIT: Found.

The cover for Transformers #43 has him in the CW Motormaster body as well.

I want Wreck-Gar to be able to ride himself...

Yes, yes it does

The legs are a dead giveaway. They are nearly identical to CW Prime's. On top of that, his body proportions from a previous issue are also similar to Motormaster/Optimus.

The one big difference is the fact that the front wheels on Soundwave are behind his lower back, rather than part of his forearm kibble. I wonder if that is artistic license or a sign that any future Soundwave toy might have a different transformation?

This is purely speculation, but it seems quite odd for Griffith to suddenly give Soundwave a new body based on a different toy.

I always thought Alpha Bravo's vehicle cockpit and body looked like a space shuttle. I could see Blast Off being a propeller-less, winged retool.
