Official Image of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Quickslinger and Brake-Neck

Definitely going to do my best to get that Wildrider. Offroad is still quite cool he may not be an original G1 character but he does look quite good in my books so I will keep him as part of the team or if I can find a fan mode to combine him with Menasor. Maybe fill out Menasor's back a little.

I was looking at the colors and Wildrider and Offroad have alot of differences which is nice too even the shade of grey looks darker on Wildrider but that could just be the lighting.

Horrifying / awesome... To-may-to / to-mah-to.

I will admit I agree on Energon Optimus being a bad figure... Although I wouldn't be opposed to owning one someday if I had a chance to grab one cheap, it is the one major iteration of Optimus I have never owned a toy of. (I didn't pick up any AOE Optimus Primes, but it is the same character as the first three Bay films, so that counts as one "iteration.")

But I do like the Combiner Wars Prime better than I thought I would! (He'll be even better once I get Reprolabels to cover up the unpainted grey on his alt mode.) And he looks good with those Energon limbs on!

I'm surprised the person who took those photos didn't leave Optimus's chest open. In other cases, I'd think it looks better closed. But since the open chest looks so much like it was paying homage to Energon Optimus anyway, you'd think it would be a perfect time to showcase it.

So I guess my Alpha Bravo and my already-paid-for-and-shipping-soon Offroad will be making their way to my customization planning board.

Great news for sticklers of Generation One accuracy. I did like both new additions of the Aerialbots and Stunticons, but to have the full set of guys is really a sigh of relief.

If I had the Energon Optimus Prime's trailer and drones... and, of course, those 3D printed adapters... this would be a cool option of what to do with Combiner Wars Optimus Prime!

That's...horrifying. Separately those figures (CW Prime and Energon Prime) are bad enough, but together?

OMG That is one FUGLY toy. Here's hoping this is one Optimus cow Hasbro won't milk!

Brake-Neck. It's wordplay. And it's also right there in the picture.

Energon Prime by himself is the only thing your right about.

It's not a matter of "right" or "wrong." It's an opinion.

I don't see what your glitch is with CW Prime I have him and he makes a good figure.

I don't have a "glitch." I don't like the figure. The vehicle mode is repulsive and the robot mode looks like it belongs in the Rescue Bots line. The mold is better represented by the Motormaster variant, but not by much. And when combined? Forget about it. That's why I'm easily passing on CW Menasor. Too bad, I actually like the other 4 Stunticons, even if Menasor and Motormaster are both underwhelming to me. But if you like them, that's fine. It's your opinion. Just because mine is different, doesn't make it "wrong."

Never said you were wrong when I say thats the only thing your right about what I truly mean is that's the only thing I agree about I have a strange speech pattern.


How does it look like it belongs to Rescue bots when those toys are just transforming bricks?



Is it because he is blockish?



And what do you think is wrong with Menasor and Motermaster?

Aesthetically, the Optimus Prime thing looks like a Power Ranger and looks really out of place/WTF for it to belong to the TF Universe. Not saying that there won't be people out there that would spend a good chunk of money just because "it's an Optimus toy and they HAVE to buy it", but objectively, this toy configuration is a huge step backwards in terms of aesthetics, engineering, and ingenuity.

So they are finally revealed and...meh what we were expecting. Hmm just realised that for UK buyers Forbidden planet may get these in as they are owned by diamond.

*cough*

Did someone say something?



Wasn't sure if someone might have been talking to me...



Nah, I must have been imagining things...

Seriously, though... He may not be the best Optimus ever, but having him in hand, he is better than I thought he'd be. I like him! The only thing that really bugs me is the unpainted grey plastic in his alt mode, but fortunately I should be able to fix that next time I place a Reprolabels order:

All 4 Combiner Wars wave 2 deluxe class toys were spotted in Canada at a Walmart in Laval (on Saint Martin). This wave includes Air Raid, Dead End, Offroad and Breakdown. These are priced at 19.92 $ cdn and do not include the comic book due to language laws.
