Dead End is a fantastic figure, and easily one of the best deluxes that has been released under the Combiner Wars line thus far. Transformation is unique, featuring a hinged door below the knees that secures the entire back half and lower arms in car mode. A very easy recommendation.

Cyclonus looks awesome, just sold my Henkei one, soo replaced.
Why does First Aid have an axe? He's like the sweetest of the protectobots out there.
I have no problem with Ironhide being a head retool/repaint of one of the combiner suv/van things.
Didn't like the Universe/classics version and love Combiner Wars, so. Well, I'll be buying every limb/torso bot for sure anyway. Not sure about all the legends, but damn, these also look amazing this time. Great scale choice Hasbro!
Now if only they made a 12 episode OVA about combiner wars, cell animation not the soulless 3d stuff.
And a bit more Gundam 00/Seed/Wing serious

Thanks for the pre-order link. Ordered the entire CW wave Three. Got one CW Defensor with Groove and Cyclonus.
BBTS says CW wave Three will be in stock in April. Guessing CW Wave 5, That is the rumored autobots Masquerade Fakesaur. Will be in stock in May-June.

Which brings me to my next 2 points.
Mis-transformations in "official" images. Who else is tired of them letting some mis-transform something then use it as the official image?
Secondaly that is the worst fire truck mold in a long time. It was clearly meant to be Onslaunt for the combaticons.Just like how Prime was clearly mean to me motor master. Or Alphpa Bravo meant to be vortex or the helicopter from the protectabots. I think its First Aid, not sure i never like that team so i have no clue what all their names are.

No problem.
Also, Why do you skip wave 4? Wave 4 is the autobot combiner team.

1. Is Streetwise a retool of Dead End? the only similarity I can see are his thighs.
2. What would everyone rather have for Ironhide, a repaint of Off Road or First Aid? I'm leaning towards Off Road's truck style. Seems tougher than an ambulance.

I enjoyed Seed & 00. The main robots weren't 3d models
Yes Destiny was a letdown, still I enjoyed certain parts of it.
What's your favorite mecha animé?
Besides the obvious Neon Genesis answer of course.
Jaws of life, I thought you were going for that bone saw to crack open chestbones. But that other one sounds less violent.
Or they could't given him those Sideswipe punch things as electric shock reviver things.
I'm all about the things today.
Can't wait for my Megatron to arrive, it's taking forEVER!
plus evangelion is no where near my favourite 
I much prefer Rahxephon. Rated X wrote:Dead End looks nice. But the grey on the side of the car sucks. It’s like an annoying difference Hasbro does on purpose just to allow Takara to produce a more cartoon accurate version.
Also, the weapon blows…literally.
If the only complaint with CW Deadend is extra paint apps, Then it's doing great. 
Is the one and only Transformers toy line that is doing original G1 update toys.Rated X wrote:Dead End looks nice. But the grey on the side of the car sucks. It’s like an annoying difference Hasbro does on purpose just to allow Takara to produce a more cartoon accurate version.

I really appreciate this level of reduex much more than a straight repaint. I find the foresight "pretooling" a fantastic compromise.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:1. Streetwise is a complete reshell of Dead End as their transformations match perfectly. Same goes for Air Raid vs. Skydive, they're also what I call a "pretool pair". So far, the total list is:
Are you using the drawing from the previous page as your reference?2. "Ironhide" is based on Offroad, as he has his hood and legs, not First Aid's.
