Kabaya Transformers Block Wars Art

Posted by william-james88 Jan 31, 2016 at 1:55pm CST 35,684 views
Fellow Seibertronian D-Max has found this piece of art on Twitter based on the upcoming Kabaya Block Wars set (which may or may not be fan art).

Seibertronian Emerje also noticed that this combiner looks quite a bit like Universe Superion. Coincidence? Possible inspiration? You tell us!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Can't imagine Starscream and Megatron being all that happy about being used for stomping by Autobots.

dont see why not. megatron's an autobot now, and starscream renounced his decepticonhood as part of the political ploy that got him leadership of cybertron. the only contention i'd have with the set is bumblebee being dead.

He's still in Starscream's head. Also, I really dont think Kabaya cares about referencing modern american comics.

Remember, it's the same company that brought us Gaia Scramble, a Combiner made of 6 Limb bots:

1.) Fireflight / Slingshot
2.) Air Raid / Skydive
3.) Dead End / Breakdown
4.) Wildrider / Drag Strip
5.) Vortex / Blast Off
6.) Swindle / Brawl

Oh those Seekers and their jet kibble. :lol:

I really do like this, it's so nonsensical, but Kabaya usually does combiners well. Can't wait to have it in hand.

And, besides, Bumblebee's still dead in the comics, so his being here would be a poor reference even if it were one.

The resemblance doesn't seem as strong to me as it apparently does to everyone else. I'll grant that there is one, but I think it could be a coincidence.

If the stickers are that bad, I might just not bother, I've always found stickers annoying. Do Kabaya toys generally look okay stickerless?


You're going to want some stickers for it to look good. Flat stickers usually stay fine, but curving ones, especially over facial features are the tough ones. Paint would really be the best method since these are usually well sculpted. Looks like the faces are the only curved parts so it should be fine.


Paint's not an option for me, so I'm glad to hear that most of the stickers will be okay.

Yeah, to me, it's just the yellow horns that look similar.

Just confirms something about Starscream that we all already knew. ;)

For me it's not just the horns, but also the red and white jet chest, the cockpit leg, and mismatched feet. I doubt it was intentional, it just reminded me of it.

Ugh, don't remind me. Still, he'd have to have had lost a hell of a lot of pride and dignity to accept being used as an Autobot boot...

This thread has mentioned "Universe" and "RotF" Superion and not the Energon design first? Someone hand me RAcast's sig pic and insert it here.

In other news, I tried taking the GDO Cyber Commander/Battalion figures these appear to be based off of and combining them in a similar way. It didn't work at all. I was hoping it was some insane easter egg that I just hadn't noticed with the figures, but hope faded quickly and I was left with a toppled mess of nonsensically transformed toys on the ground.

Energon wasnt mentioned because it doesnt have the yellow ears we are referencing.

The Block Wars Combiner is definitely going to go down as one of the biggest WTF's in Transformers history.

I dont know guys, I dont see the big deal, it's just a candy company having fun with the license.

You can already combine good guys with bad guys with both hero mashers and kinder surprize toys (the later actually let you do that ratchet/megatron mind melt)

You dont see it here but you can switch out the arms and legs with any other one of them.

yeah it confuses me as to why the Autobots would wanna combine with the Decepticons....especially Optimus combining with Megatron! but i guess this mixed faction combination is already present with the Combiner Wars! so whatever floats people's boats i guess?

You should read the IDW MTMTE comics ;)
After that you won't be questioning things like this anymore :-P
