It's just convenient. That's like asking asking why do people call Optimus just Optimus and not Optimus Prime all the time. Yeah his trailer combining is super Ginrai but still the same dude.
We're also not Japanese.

Also I know its a 3P Overlord in one of those pics...but what is its name exactly?
Posted by Sabrblade on May 25th, 2017 @ 2:44pm CDT
Though, the pic of the little Headmaster dude placed inside the missile launcher did bring back memories of Spock's "Wrath of Khan" funeral.
Also, that gaping mouth box art is so bonkers it's hilarious.

Mastermind Creations Carnifex, based on Overlord's IDW design. However, the one in the picture is using the 'Continuum' upgrade kit (also made by MMC) to make him a bit more geewunny, adding God/Powermasters, a new head, and some other stuff.

Just from the pictures it looks like a definite yes. The bit that opens up is the panel over the vents; so everything - seating included - would be stored in there.

Don't we have earlier pictures showing that it fits 3 behind the windows?

But hey, at least I'll get him within 2 weeks. If I'd supported the local importer, well I might get him in time to discuss him by the end of next year.

I paid $64.30 USD after paypal exchange charges from Amiami.

Roughly $86AU. HLJ have been good to me though for well over a decade.

So now the $64 is, do I buy now, or wait and hope Hasbro releases in a Boxset? I don't want to miss out.

I think there was a leak with his name listed as "Apex Bomber" don't quote me.
EDIT: spoiler doesn't work on mobile.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 25th, 2017 @ 9:44pm CDT
The original leak was for the forthcoming Siege on Cybertron set, in which a Deluxe mold named "Iron Apex" was to be included, but which we see has been replaced by the Deluxe Metalhawk figure.Terrsolpix wrote:Flashwave wrote:Me likey!

There's a hidden Combiner Peg on GodBombers legs, they can be seen on the Transformers Magazine though, but i don't remember the picture
Say,
Aren't Armada Thrust and Who's-the-Yellow-Car girl appears on Unite Warriors, are they hinting us another combiner or not?

Nah, this is essentially just their way of showing off Godbomber is bizarrely compatible with UW figures. Nothing in here indicates a new combiner - though I wonder if the translation will show anything new...
MagicDeath wrote:Looks nice as a combiner. And is Nightbeat here based on his Japanese counterpart?
I suppose that would make sense - Nightbeat was only released as a variation of Minerva in Japan, so that would explain why she looks exactly like Minerva. The plot thickens...

I wonder if I can turn those thighs downwards when I have Godbomber combined. I could get my 2 Aerialbots and connect it there for extra thrust. This toy has so much play value for its price.

Possibility? No sir, reality! From https://twitter.com/hikui_lowVa'al wrote:Thanks again to Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, we have scans of the comic that accompanies the release of Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-42 Godbomber! The pages - currently still in Japanese - show off Minerva, Godbomber, part of the Grand Galvatron and Megatronia teams - and the possibility for Godbomber to combine with those Combiner Wars / Unite Warriors limbs!
Between this and some of the design cues on Doublecross and Weirdwolf, definitely feels like some pre-plannning for the "animal" combiners like Abominus, Pirhanacon, and Predaking may be going on

I suppose in that they share unique alt-mode shapes with combiner limbs we have yet to get - it would certainly go some way in explaining the rather random inclusion of Twinferno in the line.

Given how the current team at Hasbro has noted that they're thinking ahead as they design figures, it is conceivable that this is the case.
And when I look at the Titans Return beast figures, I can see where chest pieces could be replaced with combiner ports without too much hassle.
And more food for thought - it's preferred to get a few remolds/repaints out of a figure to get their money's worth, while Weirdwolf and Doublecross have not been remolded (yet).

Apex Armor will be the same as Godbomber (with more decos and guns, like Magnus Prime) in one of those boxsets, we will just wait soon until the final wave of Titan Return is released

This isn't confirmed or even hinted at yet, I'm afraid.

In a little more detail, we can look at Weirdwolf:
Does it need remolding? Yes, but if you look carefully, the parts that make the Headmaster attach are a separate piece. Take that out, do some minor rework for the port, add a new head, add Doublecross' arms, do some other minor retooling, then tweak the colors just slightly = oh look, Sinnertwin. Doublecross' body style is very Rippersnapper-like in stature, so again just some arm piece swapping and retooling for the Terrorist Shark head. Need a weird shrimpy body for Blot? Hello, Mindwipe, who also has some stuff one could use on a Cutthroat. The only missing piece is the torso, and boy howdy does Godbomber have a big blocky chestplate like Abominus. Not sure how you'd get a Hun-Grr out of the rest but he is parts-formery, so there's that.
There aren't really pack-in comics for Unite Warriors, just a single image for each set drawn in the same style as the back page of the instructions. That said, it's still Sakamoto doing it and he's tried to make it all work together. An example from the galleries:william-james88 wrote:I didnt know that the unite warriors comics and legends comics were related
Also this latest Legends comic has me wishing I'd picked up the CM Corp Nightbeat version of Minerva back when it was dirt cheap. Just did the regular Minerva and Ginrai releases.
:looks at ebay:
Scratch that regret, bought this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F152531635592%3F Anyone want the regular one for cheap? Don't need a second!

Who said anything about pack in comics?
But yeah, I didnt know they were releated, since one takes place in the Legends Universe and the other is a sequel to JG1. So seeing Armada Thrust cross over is fun.
