SDCC 2014 Coverage: Generations: Combiner Wars Superion and Menasor!

At least this time they used a larger figure for the center torso. They're better proportioned now.

These two are a step in the right direction, but not characters I particularly care about so I'll be passing on them.

I quite like the idea of Legends figures lending some support.

Not bad. It'll be interesting to see how they look transformed properly, especially Superion's arms...are they that long or can they be configured better? Superion's legs look hella silly though

Time to put my negative nancy hat on-I'm super miffed Motormaster is a prime re-paint! MM should be his own bot. Proper miffed and cheesed off now
.....

Wait...does that mean Prime can combine with things? Does that mean if I make a Thunderclash from Prime...he could combine with things....?

Miffed status alleviating slightly...

I will buy everything!=D Agreed with Mkall though Superion is more awesome of the two

If Generations Prime was designed to later become a combiner...

... that raises some questions in my mind about Generations Chromia...

You know I think primes a pretool, and motormaster actually came first in the design process.

Makes sense and it only reinforces the fact that Optimus will be forever tied to his rival.

I'm not that miffed about as I have Henkei Convoy already and thus have a separate entity from Motorbreath. Remember, AoE Evoution 2-pack for those that don't

And I'm predicting 4 teams, given that Hasbro has said there will be 16 Deluxes in all.

I like what I am seeing so far.

Not really digging Menasor, but that's okay because I never really liked him anyway. Superion's looking pretty cool. Once he comes out I'll probably move the FP one to the Energon shelf where it sort of belongs.

These are the most encouraging things I've seen since the announcement of Metroplex. A serious step in the right direction. Bravo!

I seriously see myself using that Superion, and expect it to not look at all out of place amongst my 3rd Party combiners. Finally - an Autobot combiner for my collection (I've been lukewarm on the 3rd Party ones). I think I'll hold onto my FP M3/Intimidator for now. Honestly, my biggest nitpick with Hasbro's version are the horns. They're a bit off. I'll still pick up the Menasor set for their bot modes, though.

I definitely think "Combiner Wars" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Hasbro taking it to the 3rd Parties. This is awesome.
