I was interested in buying all of Sky Reign until I saw the light bars on Smokescreen. Geez, Hasbro, he's a race car. You couldn't even spring to get rid of the police lights? I just . . . I can't do it. It's too high on the lameness meter.

All I really wanted was Sky Lynx, so I'll get Liokaiser instead (or whatever English name they give him).

Neat! I like the gear detailing near the balljoint.

Boy, Hound's and Wheeljack's bios sure aren't IDW-based (even despite Wheeljack's mentioning IDW's Ultirex University).

To be fair, no one wants to do anything with Hound in IDW. Not even the Lord and Saviour Roberts, who squeezed out a pretty good Hoist story.

Trailbreaker is also just as much G1 classic as IDW here.

Fellow Seibrtronian Mindmaster sent us some new art featuring Transformers Combienr Wars Defensor. This was found on a facebook post from artist Marcelo Matere.

This same image now appears on Hasbro's main Transformers website. What is extremely peculiar though, and this was broght to our atention by 0autobot0, is that even if the image has Rook as a limb, the breakdown of the "bots" is the following:

Blades, Groove, Hotspot, Streetwise and Firstaid.

Yes, indeed, Groove is the autobot described. Selecting Groove gives you new art as well for each mode.

This can all be simply related to fiction and as a description of G1 Defensor, who always had Groove as part of his team. Then again, the designation of this character as "deluxe" does reference the fact that he is a toy too.

It is still interesting to note that this is the team up according to the official Transformers site and that there is an awful lot of attention given to a character who doesn't have a deluxe toy out from Hasbro.

Feel free to speculate the significance of this on the boards!

There are even more errors there than what meets the eye.

In the above pics, Groove has his G1 robot and vehicle modes instead of his CW ones.

Hot Spot has his CW robot mode but his GDO vehicle mode.

Blades and Streetwise each have their CW robot modes but their G1 vehicle modes.

And First Aid apparently has no vehicle mode.

Additionally...

http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/co ... s/superion

Alpha Bravo and Powerglide are counted among the Aerialbots, but Powerglide can't transform. And Silverbolt has his Universe Ultra class robot mode with more yellows added.

http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/co ... rs/menasor

Dead End is WFC Dead End in robot mode and CW Dead End in vehicle mode, Motormaster has his G1 robot mode and his CW truck mode, Breakdown has his TFSS robot mode and his CW vehicle mode, Offroad is Dead End in robot mode (has the correct vehicle mode, though), and Blackjack is included but can't transform.

http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/co ... devastator

Mixmaster has his mixer drum split open like shelled wings in robot mode and has his G1 altmode, Long Haul has his G1 robot mode, and both Bonecrusher and Scavenger remind me more of some of their 3rd party toys in robot mode.

http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/co ... us-maximus

Sunstreaker is Universe Sunstreaker in both modes, Mirage has his Classics vehicle mode, Optimus is MP-10 in both modes, Prowl has his Universe vehicle mode, and Ironhide has his Universe vehicle mode.

Nice goin, Hasbro.

So at first I was wondering that they were going to go the quickslinger route and get deluxe groove out there then I read what Sabrblade put and now doubt the competence if the person who put the website together.

Screw Groove, give me that awesome looking Mixmaster. That is a great design!

But yeah, it looks like its just a hodge podge of team members using comissioned art from artists who didnt have a solid unifying vision.

It all looks like recycled card art from the Legends mobile game.

Might wanna modify your article a little bit. Says groove doesn't have a toy from hasbro but he does. It's the legends class one. So there is a groove you its just not the deluxe limb. Might be coming though!

Sort of hoping we DO get a deluxe from Hasbro, because that Warriors Unite Groove is impossible to find alone! I'll put this up there with my wish for proper Computron combiner limbs and a new Computron head.

If we ARE getting Groove separately, I'm getting him...but not for Defensor. I have greater plans for him...

He sure is. I just got my UW Deffy and loooove Groove. But on my shelf he'll perpetually be some big dudes shin, so I started looking for a loose one to have by himself, but no luck. If Hasby does release Deluxe Groove, I'll be quite happy. But as evidence suggests, that's doesn't seem to be the case...

But we are getting computron limbs

including one of them that is a retooled deluxe groove. The jury is still out on computron head though it could be new or it could be the one from betatron

Trailbreaker's subgroup is 'Lynx King' and the other three say 'Sky Reign'. What's that all about then?

It is presumed to have been an early working name for Sky Reign that accidentally got left alone on Trailbreaker's extended bio.

I fixed your post for you.

And this isn't any kind of confirmation that we are getting a deluxe Groove. It's just a hodgepodge of pictures from uncoordinated people. And go ahead and get Rook, as he's a pretty good figure.

Hasbro does not have the budget to change it.

At least it's not that noticeable and painted over.

you got to admit though that even though there are quite a few oddities (or errors) with the images, all of the team members for every other G1 combiner is correct except for Defensor. Both Superion and Menasor feature all 6 of their current members while Defensor doesn't. Groove isn't even shown as a chest plate in the art while Blackjack is.

Does it mean anything, possibly not, but for those that skipped out on UW there could be hope.

He wants Groove as a deluxe limb.

Remember that most comments come from someone reading the article, then clicking discussion and just posting a comment. Thus the comment is in relation to the article and not the larger discussion.

Welp! I called it back when the groove mold first got revealed, and I'm calling it now,

I think the only reason they didnt put out an online exclusive wave for groove like they did with quickslinger and brakeneck is because they would've had to do solid cases of ONLY groove back then. but now there's a new revised mold for another character (unite warriors Blast-Off) they'll put out another 50:50 case of those 2.

Thats my theory and I'm betting the farm on it.
