New Gallery: Combiner Wars Viper (G.I. Joe Cobra Rattler and Wild Weasel homage)

Posted by LOST Cybertronian May 30, 2015 at 11:34pm CDT 31,803 views
Our newest gallery is perfect for the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover fans in the house. Combiner Wars Legends class Viper is a retool of Powerglide from wave 1. He is a double homage in that his alt mode is that of a Cobra Rattler while his head sculpt is a homage to Wild Weasel who pilots the Rattler. He also retains the weapon mode that Powerglide had which can be wielded by the Combiner Wars combiners. Viper was first seen in the Transformers: Battle Tactics mobile game.

"Menacing" is putting it mildly:

Would be interested in buying a CW G1 Dinobots combiner. that had Four Deluxe limbs bots and One Voyager Grimlock. Only having to spend Hasbro's American price under $90 would be great.

Mildly liked the CW Powerglide toy enough to buy it. Only bought it for it's targetmaster combiner ability. Have no interest to buy repaints using this toy.

Like the idea of a G.I Joe Transformers toy cross over. but it has to be a great character, nice design and big toy that I like. Like doing a bigger, better character like Optimus, Megatron, Overlord, Sixshot, Shockwave, Seekers.

I really want them to make a Dinobot Beast toy.

Yup.

I came across my small stack last night. I'm torn on what to do with them. So for now they sit in the same box with all the instructions.

They could repaint Whirl into a Dragonfly

You guys are a tough crowd. Where are the folks that like this little guy? I love him! I thought it was great that we got an official Transformers/GI Joe Transformer toy after 31 years (the Titanium Megatron toy doesn't count ... it was just a BS bio for a BS toy).

What's not to like. TF and Joe is like PB&J. He's a buy on sight in my book.

People raved about it at first reveal. Maybe everyone missed the story? Lets news it again! :KREMZEEK:

I like him. Not enough to troop build, I'll definitely get one. I'm just underwhelmed because of how long it'll take him to get to Edmonton :(

Wasn't it based on the Megatron design from the Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover that was set in World War II?

I will definately get this guy. A Transformers/GI Joe crossover toy you don't have to pay out the ass to the club for? Sign me up.

I kind of want a Viper, as a parallel Earth Powerglide.

Or as a Powerglide that's been repurposed by Cobra; sorta like that mini-series.

But I don't know if I'll get one.

The bio implied the WWII crossover comics, but his actual design was pretty different looking and didn't sport those purple colors, more G1 colors. (when they showed color)

Seibertron.com is proud to present the gallery for Transformers Combiner Wars Legends Class Warpath. This little guy is a retool of the Generations Legends Class Megatron. The retool in this case is a new Warpath head sculpt. Warpath can be found in Combiner Wars Wave 3 alongside Viper. Being a retool of Megatron, Warpath lacks his iconic chest turret but sports a nice arm cannon. You can compare this figure to the previous Legends Class Warpath from the 2008 Universe line here or his original G1 incarnation here. Click on any of the images to see the full gallery.

If anything, these new galleries remind me just how dope Deluxe Warpath is. I don't own the "Megapath" mold. I do like the Warpath deco better, I think its just more consistent than the Megatron release. Is this mold worth picking up?

He fits in great with the scale of legends class figures. I got him to take the place of my deluxe size one,and am still happy about my choice.

I think this is a great Warpath. Would I have liked it to have the more traditional chest cannon? You bet! Was I disappointed when this was first announced? Yep.

But I was pleasantly surprised once I had this in hand. I really felt like I was photographing Warpath. I think it was his head that really did it for me. That and the fantastic color that stayed relatively true to the colors I expect a Warpath toy to have. If we didn't have the deluxe figure (who still needs a hand gun by the way), I'd be extremely disappointed with this. However, I've already got a couple of Warpath toys that I already like so I like this different interpretation of him.

My only regret with this gallery is that I missed an opportunity to sneak in the Bot Shots Warpath gallery finally and include him in the comparison shots. One day!

Take away the boobcannon and take away the Warpathiness! Beyond that-he looks pretty good. Better than I expected.
