Exended Bios for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Sky Reign Wave

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).

I liked the nod to Trailbreaker's previous change of name.

Click on the image to go over to the page on Tinkercad to see it in a 3d view to get a full feel for it.

Neat! I like the gear detailing near the balljoint.

Yeah, that is pretty neat.

Digging on that hound.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
