Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Legends Sighted at Retail (Toysrus)

pretty good price

I have also found them at a ToysRUs in Southern Illinois. Thundercracker, Powerglide, Bombshell, and Windcharger.

Really? But didnt the ones that came with the target masters cost the same amount?

God, as awesome as this is, I know for a fact these will never hit my local Toys "R" Us anytime soon. They're still stocking the first wave of Fall of Cybertron Legends two-packs.

Surely, the Targets and Walmarts in your area have better stock, no?

The local Walmarts are just now stocking Shrapnel. Target is really my only hope at this point.

saw these at target the other day but had no interest, $10 is a ripoff especially since they dont have minicons anymore. Plus the combiner war deluxes they had were $11.99, stocked up on those & went on my way. If they reduced the price down to 7 or 8 id be all over them but as it is easy pass. On another note TRU has generations deluxes for $12.99

Yeah, they did. And before that were the bigger, more articulated PCCs and HA Basics and their partners at that price.

.... and every one of those did terrible in my stores. So either these things will shelfwarm like crazy, or everybody will happily pay more for less. I'm not sure which is better.



Then again I'll happily pay $10 for Bombshell (and hopefully Kickback), so...

Wait, really? I found Windcharger the day after Christmas at Target for $9.99 but I didn't think it was news.

These have been at Target for 2 weeks now and the Deluxes for 1 week.Only assortment not to show at retail has been the Voyagers. I found Robots in Disguise at Target already as well.

Have you guys been writing these sightings in your respective sightings thread for your area? It would be a much better place than here because it could help fellow fans know exactly where they can find these figures.

It's true. I've found all the wave 1 legends at TRU, and at the local Target stores as of Jan. 1, 2015. So I was able to start the year with some good luck after all. I found the wave 1 warrior figures from RiD in TRU as well, though so far I haven't felt the desire to buy any - I'm lukewarm to that whole line as of yet and can live without them.

But I had to pick up Bombshell and Powerglide - somehow the legends new Powerglide seems better than the ultra class figure from the Universe line

No sign of the Deluxe combiner wars figures yet...

That Powerglide is a great little figure, so glad I didnt buy the Universe, Transbots or Make toys one.

Saw these around December 29th-ish (and bought, of course!) at the TRU in Jackson, TN. Wish I'd known it was news, I'd have said so! lol

Picked up Firefly this afternoon, leaving me done with Wave 1, really liking this wave, the best thing Hasbro has done in a long time. Bing on Wave 2 and (hopefully) Devestator.

This is OLD news. These have been at target and TRU since the week before Christmas.

Don't know if it's because I'm on a mobile but Motormaster looks very light. Promo pics showed dark grey/black with a purple face.

I like the way Dead End and Beeakdown's chests conceal th pegs better and Offroad does look cool, despite not being Wildrider.

Megs looks decent, but I really wanted him in Voyager class to stand toe to toe with my Classics Prime.

Megatrons looking better in these pics, however I cant stop thinking how much better the mold would look as Shockwave.

Hasbro.com has updated with new official high quality promotional images of Generations Combiner Wars wave 2 Deluxe, wave 2 Voyager and wave 1 Leader Class figures. They even give us a new peek at Menasor.

Menasor

It's a shame they didn't put a port or something so that you could attach Armada Megatron's cannon to his side and make him more accurate.

Menasor still looks weird.

in the new deluxe batch, dead end is probably my favorite. and i am feeling MUCH better about the megatron now. the G1 one anyways, armada megs is lookin a little plain jane if you ask me.

Wow I dont think there is any saving menasor. Perfect Effect managed to save Superion but I dont expect them to pull rabbits out of their ass with menasor. That megatron looks horrible. The armada version looks better but the scale throws me off a bit. I might pick him up on clearance.

Drag Strip is my favorite, personally. It's all in that vicious head sculpt.

Agree with you on Armada Megatron - but he's primed for a 3rd party to swoop in and give him a killer add-on kit with swing around cannon, and maybe even a nice dagger per the original toy. That's my hope, anyway...

Yeah Menasors pretty awful, the proportions are all over the place! Cannot understand how they can get Superion so right and Menasor so wrong. Still money saved for Devy. Not feeling Megs at all, too big for a start. Really is a mixed bag this line.

Didn't realize until now that that Armada Megatron has solid orange horns. Yuk.

I get the feeling that I might have liked that figure more if it had just been a straight redeco instead of a simple remold; a version of G1 Megatron colored as a homage to Armada Megatron, instead of actually trying to be Armada Megatron.

Being honest, I'm not really excited about the leader Megatron. I mean, it looks awesome, but if it were Voyager size I would like it better. As a Leader Class figure I don't like it as much. However, the Leader Class Armada Megatron interests me, and I will probably grab that over the G1 Tank Megatron.

I don't like the way those Megatrons look at all. They looked really good in older images, but what doesn't look better in prelim/mocked photos?

Menasor looks okay to me, but I'd need better pics to really judge.

It's a sad state where I get more excited about a Legends-class (Blackout) than a Leader-class

The individual Stunticons look great (especially Dead End) but Menasor combined looks odd.

What I'd like to see someone like Perfect Effect do is an add-on kit that works as a trailer for Motormaster, becomes a "repair bay" when he's in robot mode (ala the vintage toy) and splits apart into add-ons for the combined mode that bulks him up and improves his proportions (and gives him better hands and feet).

The G1 Megs works, but the Armada version...eh. I'd rather a 3P company came out and gave us a kit to give the original toy better leg articulation.All you'd need to do is replace his hips and thighs. I suppose they could make him replacement feet but they'd need to find a way to let the buyer remove the pins.

Eh... I feel both Megatrons lost out by sharing the same mold. More so than Motormaster/Prime.
I don't see what's wrong with Menasor (yet), besides Wildrider being replaced by a truck named Offroad and the Menasor horns.

Completely agree. Can't stand the bulky wide chest with a car stuck bang in the middle of it. Looks bloody stupid. His head sculpt is awful too. The more I look at it the more I'm put off until a Third Party can attempt to salvage it. Also, when I was thinking about getting him I was planning to have Dead End and Breakdown the other way around, how they should be. It looks like you can do this with Breakdown, but Dead End has this bit of kibble that looks like it'll obstruct that. Badly designed if that's the case.

Individually they don't look bad, but Menasor is a bit of a car crash.

Without mini-con capture claws, or a shiv concealed in his hand, that Armada Megatron does nothing for me, the G1 Megs still looks stiff and undynamic, but I don't understand everyone's problems with Mentor. Individually yhe Stunticons all look great, and I see no glaring issues with the combined mode. Am I missing something?

So lets see

Motor Master - Sword
Dragstrip - Sword
Breakdown - Sword
Offroad - Axe
Deadend - Exhaust Pipe

Maybe it's because he's a such a Pessimist he knows a sword won't work on the Autobots anyway so he's not even trying to fight.

I actually kind of like Menasor. He's not perfect but I still quite like him. I will wait for in hand pics of the Megatrons.

I wish the chest vehicles could transform in a way where the legs come up the sides of the hood to make a more uniform look similarly to Thundercracker. Just looks off. Otherwise, I still like the concept and am hoping for some Abominus, Dinoking/Monstructor, Piranacon, and/or Predaking love.

I always saw the Stunticons as brutish thugs. An exhaust pipe is pretty fitting, as far as bludgeoning objects go.

thats actually a reallt good idea! not sure if i personally care to upgrade hasbros menasor though, since i have FP's (but i do plan to still get hasbros).

Oh no! I had not noticed those wheels ending up behind Megatron's head before. This really hurts the design.

Am I the only one who thinks Blackjack's axe would work better as Menasor's sword hilt? I keep thinking it's supposed to work like that, but every pic has the axe as this (to me) awkward chest shield.

All these guys look pretty awesome

Haven all of wave two on order from RK, just waiting on someone sellin G1 Megs on his own. I wonder if his treads can move up behind the head for an IDW pose the way the aw Armada version works...

I am still not over this, Hasbro really tried to pull a fast one on me.

No back pack wheels here:



Totally not the case here:



Sneaky sneaky

The treads on the back are probably meant to be lowered for Megatron and raised for Armada Megatron.

i was also thinking that. i thinking its "optional kibble".

Not to mention "functional kibble" (as in working tread in tank mode).

If you look at both pictures of Megatron, you'll see they're in exactly the same pose.

Did they just take a photo of one and photoshop the other?

-edit-

Okay slight difference, but geez ... not much.

The robot scale for this line is all over the shop. Making Megatron a leader class figure and not a voyager was idiotic IMO. Assuming he's about the same size as Generations Leader Jetfire, he isn't going to scale well with Prime at all, however the problem is then reversed once Prime combines to his 'Ultra Prime' mode.

Does Megs have the ability to combine with the deluxes like Prime?

What's wrong with Megatron being bigger than Optimus? Wouldn't he generally like being bigger than Optimus? He is the bad guy, after all. He's not one known for playing fair.

Huh, just like the original Armada Megatron and Armada Optimus toys.

HA! That works so well for Armada Megatron then!

And I was always under the impression that Megs was bigger. Maybe not THAT much bigger (ala animated TF) but still bigger and more powerful.

They're trying so hard to make Megatron's legs look not skinny. Look at that moonwalking pose. If the G1 Megatron has that nice of a color scheme I might snatch him up though
