Positive Spin time: Now you have the most uniform looking combiners

Here's another positive spin, you can now have a combiner completely made of the same mold in different decos. Oh wait, we already could, this is just an extra to swap...
Once everything is all said and done from Hasbro, you can make TWO combiners with only this basic mold. G1 and G2 Dead End and Wildrider, Streetwise, Prowl, Smokescreen and Dustup. You can even have a third combiner if you have the Takara versions of Dead End, Wildrider, Streetwise and Prowl as well. I'll be using my Takara Streetwise as a lazy Silverstreak. At least Takara's "Galvatronus" won't have that mold in it too.
Everyone's worst nightmare is realized: 2 combiners made of only 1 single limb mold....

Why, that poor combiner has fists for knees.

Backwards upper and lower legs are very backwards.

Well not that that's been revealed, I'm guaranteed not to purchase Scattershot. He's a lazy remold/recolor of Silverbolt (I'd hoped for Cyclonus levels of retooling) with no original limbs. Sucks, because he and the Technobots were some of my most cherished TFs as a kid. Let's hope Takara can do something more with the name.

Said it before, I'll say it again.
I can handle Betatron having the same head mold as Superion, but his head being literally identical to Superion's is just sad.

Along with the unchanged head, I don't like the fact that The Chest Plate of Betatron is nearly the same colour as Scattershot's body, so it looks like a big red brick with arms and legs.

A new level of laziness by a company who apparently want your money but ran out of steam and imagination.
Still tempted by Sky Lynx but won't use him as a Combiner and the rest of this stuff is just forgettable junk.

I wonder if a head swap and dirty repaint of Wheeljack could work as Lightspeed?

Everyone, click your heals together and say "There's no place like Takara... there's no place like Takara... there's no place like Takara." If we believe really hard, they will make him into a real combiner!

so far I have menasor and superion. Will get the protectabots and combaticons. Will get sky Lynx but will pass on cyclonus, the Optmus primes and the auto bots no matter how strong the urge to recreate the masquerade episode is.
Re scattershot, he's too similar to silverbolt and without a proper team to go with him... I'm sure there are sketches in a vault somewhere of all the technobots, terror cons and predacons. The latter would make a great second voyager combiner like the constructions.

Would it be considered lazy when they didn't even try?

I was really hoping that what we saw previously was unfinished but alas it was not. This is the first release from this line that I'm truly disappointed with and will actually be passing on.

Eh, easy pass on this one. I like the CW line, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get every gaudy repaint they make. When would it be available anyway? Aside rant: HasbroToyShop hasn't updated their online inventory in any significant way in months, especially for the combiner wars figures. They haven't even got wave 4 listed. And even the wave 1/2/3 stuff, like 90% is 'we do not have sufficient inventory at this time'.
They bellyache constantly that sales aren't 'what they expected' from quarter to quarter. Maybe if they had their stuff AVAILABLE for purchase they'd get more sales!
