Toy Fair US 2015 Coverage - New Gallery: Transformers Generations Combiner Wars

Devastator individual bots - look awesome. Still don’t see the point of making them so big. I hope somebody shrinks them down to classics scale. I would gladly pay the same price or even more if they scaled with other combiners.

Mixmaster - Cement mixer mode blows monkey balls. Hasbro did that to mess with G1 purists. There was no reason to design him like that when the other 5 were all done G1 faithful.

Ultra Magnus – Really awesome. Glad there is no annoying white Prime. Love the overall G1 appearance. But his stacks are too tall. I guess I can live with that if he is the same size as City Commander. (Jetfire’s height minus the wings/backpack) I don’t need Ultra Magnus any bigger than that. He is not a combiner, lol.

Protectobots - Awesome. Glad to see Alpha Bravo is finally good for something. Rook is ok. I would be open to someone doing a proper Groove as a limb even if the scale in alt mode is off.

Cyclonus – Meh with a capital “M”. The Silverbolt mold is about as “Cyclonus” as the Motormaster mold is “Optimus”. Too many sacrifices to accommodate a combiner feature that is totally unnecessary for the character.

Viper - Stupid GI Joe crossover. It should have been Tailwind.

Warpath - waste of plastic. I like to call him “not Warpath”. They might as well repaint the leader megatron red and call him MP warpath.

bahahahahaha love it!

And seriously. I was going to say no to Thundercracker because "I already have one of that mold". But he looks too good to pass.

I'll just sit Jetfire next to Whirl and they can be rejects together.

Oh yeah.

I actually like Jetfire and Whirl.

Rook looks like a Cossack Dancer!

Syn_13 wrote:Weirdly enough, Rook reminds me of Universe Onslaught. It'd be funny if they pull a fast one and make Onslaught a retool of Rook and use him as a limb. If that happened then why not go the whole hog and make Blast Off the torso and watch the scale nuts' heads explode!

Please dont give them any ideas.

I have legitimate reasons for disliking Whirl.

Well, that's just weird. Never had that happen to me before.

One thing I did notice about Leader Magnus in comparison to MP Magnus. No buttflap. I repeat. No buttflap.

Um has a "Roller" like scout car that transfoms? Nod to Powered Convoy Diaclone origins?

Edit: So this UM is the IDW incarnation with the"always" changing core pilot of the armor. Got it! Still awesomeSAUCE!

"Cyclonus...............the Warrior and his............" I remember those lines like it was yesterday.

My Whirl didn't smell. Are you talking "stink" like if you can smell him from the other side of the room ? Or are you sniffing him under your nose ? (I hope not)

Va'al just showed me (what I assume is official Hasbro) another pic of Ultra Magnus.

I need to go put on some new pants.
Damn CWUM.
