Andy of Kapow Toys fame passed along a note showing off his video reviews of the upcoming (and very soon to be released) Quickslinger (A Slingshot redeco and remold of the Firefly/Fireflight mold) and Brakeneck (A Wildrider redeco and remold of the Dead End mold) Combiner Wars figures!

These are the first in hand views of this duo since promotional images of them were shown over a month ago, and now we get to see them in action as well.

Anyone have the Combiner Wars sticker sheet from Asia? I can't figure out where the stickers for the rear of Offroad's vehicle mode are supposed to go. The instructions are kind of vague. It's stickers #18 and #19 for the Stunticons that I can't figure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at the shape, I can only guess they go on the quarter panels, right above the wheel well. I could be completely wrong, though. Those instructions are downright awful.

Don't just post in the forum as the News Crew only periodically skims them. You'd have to notify them by using the Submit News form or by mailing them using news[at]seibertron[dot]com as well.

It's nothing personal, it's partially what Jelze said and partially Andy himself emailed them to us. He's the original source and we have to go with the original source, we just didn't get to them until that point in time because all the news staff is busy with real life stuff. And Jelze is right, we can't possibly read every thread, every post, every page. It's literally impossible to do with the numbers we have on this server.

Please, always use the news submission forum or email us directly so we can get the news out there. (Today's an exception, we wouldn't have been able to get it out sooner, sadly.)

Does anyone have an idea when they might see release? I'm hoping BBTS gets them for preorder soon.

I'm going to guess a combination of friction and/or blu-tac

They're available in some parts of Asia as of now, RK are apparently shipping out tomorrow (Fri 1/5/15) - no idea what the distribution/ordering process in the US will be though

I like the old guys and all... But did he really need to throw Alpha bravo and Offroad away like that?

No cheats. The peg at the top of the foot is just nicely wedged under the panel that's flipped up. Also the gun barrels sort of fit over the rear view mirrors creating a bit of tension. The trick is the thumb on the hand foot. It is pushed up and bent in so it hooks around the grey thigh hidden inside that whole assembly.
I'd take some pics but I'm out of town, I can show you when I get back. ;)

How tall are the combiner wars figures(both deluxe and voyagers)?

I have noticed Hasbro has decided deluxes are 5 inches tall and voyagers 6 inches tall in some of the other lines. I'm just wondering if this shortness is in the combiner wars as well.

it doesn't help that the instructions don't actually show the side where the stickers go AND has the numbers switched around for those two.

Took me a while to figure it out myself. If you're still stuck I'll try to take a pic on a few hours
