Official Images - Transformers Fan-Built Combiner Victorion

As I've noted elsewhere-

So these are re-paints and re-molds right? Did they only get new head-sculpts, or are there other differences? Did even little Groove get a new face?

The new Victorion hands and feet look interesting, as does the gestalt head and the combining sword, but those new features aren't enough to sway me. It's not speaking "fem-bot" enough to me I guess, and the color-scheme, though unified, is somewhat obnoxious.

And Hasbro claims that we fans created this? Hmm...That makes me wonder if that is the best we fans could agree upon, or if the whole "voting" thing was a gimmick and a sales stunt. That seems likely to me, but why bother, when other already existing & yet-to-be-updated gestalt teams were available?

If Hasbro was desperate for a familiar, strong female character, why not complete the Generations Fem-bot team with MoonRacer, FireStar, Elita-1, etc., or better yet, make us an MP Arcee? Saving money by re-tooling existing CW figures was their aim, but the result is a bit disappointing.

Still, it is good to have choices, and the box looks nice, but I wonder what Takara can make of these. Takara's been full of surprises with their Deluxe Groove and Blast-Off lately, so I'll hold out hope for at least a better colored Victorion later on. Now, bring on Computron and as many other gestalt-teams as possible!

Ah yes... stock photography for the win. Those mis-transformed arms on Victorion is classic.

Yeahhhh, this is just a complete mess. Fan-built my aftplate. Nothing "I" voted for is in there certainly, tho 1 vote out of however many is pretty insignificant.

I just have no desire to purchase this mess of aquamarine and red.

I think the Groove repaint (Rust Dust) is the only one without new tooling the rest have new Heads, chests and new arms with new hands

1: Because this is a new team not a team made of old characters that spot has already been filled by Optimus Maximus, Sky Reign and Galvatronus plus old fans would be angry with those fembots being made into a combiner.


2:What the hell is Masterpiece have to do with Combiner Wars?

Their not comparable plus Hasbro doesn't make Masterpiece that's Takara's thing Hasbro just resells them.

Just because you didn't vote for some of the choices doesn't mean it's a conspiracy those that think it is are ridiculous.


There are things I voted on there the only things that I voted that didn't make it were the color and the gender.

The helicopter twins have completely different forearms. Instead of obnoxious missile pods, they have forearms that actually look like helicopter parts

I'm not wholly sold, but my desire to like this more than I do makes ..well, like it more than I actually do. So am still in the 'yay!' camp!

Mistransformed again for the gestalt, eh? And they really need to fix that G2 Menasor gestalt photo as well.

Looking at them in robot modes - I'm not seeing 'fembots'. Only so much you can do when they're based on pre-existing non-fem-bots....

All of them have new arms (except for the Groove redeco which has no new parts) also people who complain about the missile arms just don't get why it makes sense.


Alpha Bravo is not a rescue helicoptor since he is part of the Aerialbots which is an Autobot air force.


Blades is one of the most blood thirsty Autobots so it makes sense he would be armed.


Vortex is a Decepticon and a military chopper I should not have to explain more.

I get a listing error from Amazon.ca. It seems the listing went down almost as quickly as it went up
