With the new images of Skydive, it brings the series of first in-hand images of the first wave of Generations: Combiner Wars Deluxes to an end. We can only hope that we get in-hand images of the first wave of Voyagers: Silverbolt and Optimus Prime.

Why are we discussing the Huffer toy in a Combiner Wars thread ?

Nope. Though it is drawn in the style of the Legends game, it is brand new art. Huffer's robot mode Legends artworks look like these:Va'al wrote:Isn't the artwork from the Legends game? Would that not explain the 'mix-up'?

Because he is officially part of it, plain and simple. He may not combine with anyone, but he's still released in that line, as the "Combiner Wars" logo on top of the card can attest:
I could see Leader Megatron and Thundercracker being treated the same way.

Hopefully Stack 'em and rack 'em into one BFG.
So far the pictures we've seen have me a little perplexed with the elbows in combined mode.
Hope they work well in hand.

Runabout's head seems closer a match:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:You've got to be kidding me... I read about a possible repaint opportunity for Blackjack, and one that's a bit out of left field:
Throttlebot Searchlight
The head sculpt is spot on. And why didn't I see that? I have that toy!

As a "Legends Class" figure, does it mean Powerglide's going to be about 8 cm tall?

Makes sense, but will that hold for both Megatrons ? Though IDW bless them will work them all into the story (megs will be flashbacks as he has is own event in elegant chaos)

He ought to be the same size as all the other Generations Legends we've gotten since 2013. Like Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Swerve, Cosmos, Tailgate, Skrapnel, Nemesis, Cliffjumper, Acid Storm, and Gears.Cyberpath wrote:As a "Legends Class" figure, does it mean Powerglide's going to be about 8 cm tall?

I'm the only who got an femmine vibe from Skydive?The face sculpt in particular.

Why do the Aerialbot jet modes all look so awful? They all have very visible hands sticking out of the jet mode! Even the G1 versions hid the hands inside the bodies!

I'm a bit of an aerospace savant, and although they could be easily confused (especially with the wonky proportions), Skydive appears to turn into a Mig-29 rather than an F/A-18. To my eye I'm 100% sure that they were looking at a picture of a Mig-29 when they designed that jet mode.

I like each reveal a little more than the last. I can't wait to hunt these figures down.

Sadly I think us in the UK may get menasor if we're lucky. Toys'r'us having the exclusive rights to generations isn't good. For my shop I'm going to have to import these for the customers.

I'm not a big fan of this Huffer. The PCC version is much better in my opinion. Black Jack looks great, and I'd love to see a repaint of him as Chase!

Are they really any worse than Classics Jetfire, Beast Hunters Starscream, Generations Thunderwing, Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex and Thundercracker/Skywarp, all three versions of Prime Dreadwing, 2007 Starscream and many many other Transformers with jet alt modes throughout the years?
These Aerialbots look rather good for having essentially four different forms while retaining all their articulation in robot and arm modes. From the front, you can barely tell Skydive even has a problem.

Do you import them through a special wholesaler? Because or else those costs will be really high.
