I'd settle for Minicon bases. I just want bases back. They could even incorporate the minicon port to activate base transformation or firing of weapons. Two throwbacks in one!

Titan Wars Blaster, Soundwave and Optimus Prime all turn in to bases, so that's a start...

That we do. So how about a CW Rail Racer? :p One new voyager, one new legend and four deluxes that are retools of each other. So cheap!

Alpha Bravo without fins or propellers and creatively painted in 4 different shades of blue, white and grey?

Absolutely


Custom CW Raiden/Trainbots (https://twitter.com/herakuwa/status/615095363511267329) - even uses an existing toy as the sixth member/combined form gun.

Here's the image from twitter

I wonder if they'd get desperate enough with the milking of moulds to redo any of the Power Core Combiner sets? I mean, given what was trotted out in that line and the current figures it would be pretty easy to do and PCC was the last real combination-oriented line of toys.

Guess the real problem is very few of those characters were particularly iconic and the limb-drones didn't even have individual names

I'd happily buy a Redeco of Hot Spot as Smoulder - I thought it was really cool to finally have a Decepticon Fire Vehicle

Fingers crossed Takara Tomy don't put out UW G2 versions after I buy the CW versions.

There have been a bunch of releases of the CW Optimus/Motormaster mould and the Blackjack mould. Has Hastak bothered to fix either mould so you can combine them? I tried a bunch of combinations and couldn't get one to work.

I did a random search to see how many figures in the CW series and came across this link below.

Not too sure if someone else has posted this, but very interesting to see a G2 Bruticus,

So I heard about a Trademark Hasbro applied for from G1Optimal and decided to have a bit of a look into it:


Trademark Name: Combiner Force
Trademark ID: 86923603
Status Date: Mar. 03, 2016
Description: Toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms
Owner Name: Hasbro, Inc.]

Not sure if this gonna be a new toyline which would hopefully involve all of the non scramble city type combiners, or it is to make sure no other company tries to use the name Combiner Force. At the moment it's too early to know anything but if it's gonna be new combiners, here's hoping for Raiden, Rail Racer and every other Train combiner there is :P

I don't think latching onto somebody's shoulder should really qualify as a combiner member. Perhaps Shouldermaster is more appropriate? :p

Bear in mind that there were several gestalt members who transform into the gestalt robot's backside. Not even the waist, just the bum.

If robots who transform into buttocks can count as a gestalt team member, then why not a shoulder. ;)

Also, being rather superfluous pretty fits right in with Scrounge's M.O. :D

11th April 2016, 08:12 AM
While I'd be really keen for Scrounge, my fears were confirmed with the BotCon pictures which showed that there were no new heads for any of the figures (except for Strafe who seems to have taken the entire remould budget for the set)

So I've gone with the UW set for the first time ever, and one extra figure isn't enough to justify buying two.

GoktimusPrime
11th April 2016, 08:32 AM
Afterburner has remoulds for the vehicle mould. Yeah, if I hadn't already preordered the Hasbro version yonks ago, I'd probably skip that in favour of the UW version too. :o Still, happy to be getting Scrounge. :)

Looking at CW Shockwave in real life today and comparing it to photos of BotCon Reflector, and I could be convinced Reflector would be alright - except for the gun hand. Could there be a retool planned with two fists?

The BotCon Reflector combined mode looks like a fan-mode, but seems to work as a "sorta camera"... but I was disappointed that the BotCon 3-pack didn't have one with a circle sticker or paint-app on its chest like one of the Reflectors had in the cartoon (as the camera lens).

It's amazing to realise that this is a first-year character, that only has one retail release toy (the tiny Gen-14 toy that came with Skrapnel), and just the one "proper" toy before that (the mail-order 3-pack from 1985/86).
Every other 1984 character has had multiple toys over the years... but Reflector seems to keep missing out. I guess that's what makes this BotCon version, with fan-mode camera form, a good toy.

Scrounge was a minor character in a single comic book, but served to show the severity of Decepticon rule under Straxus, and his death lead to Blaster choosing to take more significant action against the Decepticons.

Kinda like Biggs Darklighter in the Star Wars saga - minor character with significance to one of the major characters.

He's also memorable as being one of the first Transformers to actually die in the comic book (compared to deactivated even apparently irreparably like Sunstreaker) as well as being one of the first non-toy characters introduced in them.

But I think generally it's also partly because he's one of those characters who's obscure enough that you'd never think he'd ever get a new toy.

2010 Legends Hubcap (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hubcap_(TF_2010)#Transformers_.282010.29) would probably work as a decent starting mould, there's not too many "retro" looking moulds in play atm.

That's an almost perfect mould. He will need some wear and tear, but Reprolabels should fix that up the same way they did for Hubcap into Volt.

But apparently no Leozack, Jallguar, or Deathcobra (not that I would expect there to be a Deathcobra, all things considered, lol) since the main body is said to be Deathsaurus.
Might be worth getting if cheap, but I can't consider that thing Liokaiser.
Makes me glad I'm going the 3P route for this one

I suppose they could make the unofficial "Lynx mode" transformation official and call it Leozack, but it would only really homage the Breastmaster, not the toy as a whole. Deathsaurus is a better choice.

I'd still like to see them release an Optimus repaint as Scourge (not Grand Scourge) with Combaticon repaints for the limbs, by the name of Ruination for the combined mode. "Mega-Octane" would at least work as the name for the car/chestplate member. It might be a good way to get Takara's shuttle mould out there for the western market too.

Thanks for the insight. Yes he seems like a cult comic book hero. I never read the comics though I did get that 30th anniversary retail set last year that has the first 8 G1 comics. I should try reading them to see if I'll get hooked, though I've never been into comic books.

If you've never been into comic books the early Marvel TF comics are unlikely to win you over. Comic books in the 1980s are a lot wordier and the art is less polished compared to today's books. The first few issues of Marvel's comics are very clunky in all respects really, but that set includes #7 and #8 which are two of my favourites issues.

You know what would be really neat? If they released Scoop as a standalone figure, that also had the ability to combine into devastator's leg as a G1 throwback.

Woulda been nice to have gotten an animal group in CW.

Woulda been cool is said animal group combined into a big animal rather than a humanoid... maybe a big bear or t-rex or something. THAT woulda been sweet.

An original team with new models woulda cool, and certainly woulda been cool to have more than one flippin helicopter design

I think STL was referring to how Takara's photography usually looks like the actual toy, whereas Hasbro's toy photography is often doctored like a McDonald's menu. ;) Takara typically relies on just good photography whereas Hasbro seems more reliant on Photoshop. :o

You are correct in saying that the Takara are more like their pics with their toys.

It's not the fact that Hasbro photoshop, i think and i've seen this with other brands of toys and hobbies, is that the pic is usually of their show special, or the display on the package being sort of like a marquis figure. However the production line figure is very different.

Prime example (pun intended) the first edition Optimus from AOE on the box has alot of flashy chrome, whilst the figure itself is very grey (may need some cheering up).

But then the same figure was released with the reverse flames and flashy chrome with the trailer, this should've been how the figure should've looked like from the word get go.

I've got the image of BWII Magmatron in mind. The animal combined form might be a bit hard to achieve in terms of colours - you either have a consistently coloured combined animal with 5 individual parts potentially looking odd, or 5 robots with good alt modes and a combined form that's oddly coloured in different places.

On another note, I'd look forward to another bear design. Needs to be more vicious looking that Polar Claw. Don't mind if its robotic like the Dinobots/Predacons.

The TakaraTomy Unite Warriors release of Sky Reign should keep up the Energon homage that was begun with Grand Convoy Prime:

Wheeljack would see the least changes, with only his black parts replaced with yellow, however, his name would be changed to Downshift;

Smokescreen would be repainted in yellow and released as Hot Shot;

Trailbreaker would have a new head sculpted and a maroon/pink colour scheme with the requisite flames, to be included as Rodimus Convoy;

Hound would be repainted in blue and red, and sold as Roadbuster;

Sky Lynx would have a new maroon and white colour scheme replacing his existing blue and red, and would be sold under the name of Skyfire.

Would you buy this set if TakaraTomy were to announce it?

So basically Hasbro has these "glamour" versions of their toys for their promotional photography which is different from the final product. Come to think of it, one hand of my CW Scavenger is a different shade of green from the rest of the toy. I got my CW Devastator from Big W, but my Scavenger came with two of the same side hand. I couldn't find another CW Devvie anywhere to do an exchange at the time, so the next time I visited Hasbro I just asked if I could swap hands with their display Devvie's Scavenger hand, and they happily allowed it. :) I figured that it must've been some running change between when Hasbro AU received their sample to show off to retail buyers and when the product was actually released - which may be true - but perhaps it may also be because they wanted a version that looked different in promotional photos. <shrugs> :confused:

Here's a question for those of you who enjoy "retconned gestalts" (e.g. CW Optimus Prime, Hound, Trailbreaker, Prowl, Mirage, Wheeljack etc.) -- would you collect a set of CW Decepticon Jets? Let's imagine if they took say the CW Skydive mould and redecoed it as a Seeker jet. Make the jet mode look a bit more like an F15 and give it a new head, presto, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. Throw in Acid Storm to make up the fourth limb and release a new version of CW Cyclonus to form the body.

If Hasbro released this say in a gift set, how many people here would actually buy it?

I translate Japanese instructions, bios etc. for Hasbro AU*, which requires me to occasionally pop into their office. :)

My son has been asking why they dont have a seekers Gestalt. It would go on the xmas list without a doubt.

Though one original mold for the torso and a method of connecting legend class thundercracker or skywarp (or both) would be awesome and then you have all the original seekers.

Or a retool of sky lynx to make a torso astrotrain.

Or a retool of Silverbolt to make a torso Octane.
So many possibilities.

Great idea.

prjkt
10th May 2016, 12:09 AM
Silverbolt as Octane is a pretty cool idea for a combiner, and with a roster of Seeker repaints... could practically have enough limbs for two combiners if you combine the original trio, the boneheads, and Substorm/Acid Storm... Then maybe a third with the other RainMakers plus Nacelle and another...

Retconned? Seriously dude? A crappy cartoon from 1984 is not the be all and end all of this hobby. Hasbro are allowed to do new things. Like Sky Reign. Sky Reign is awesome. I'd buy a Seeker Combiner, but only if it was as awesome as Sky Reign.

I am not up for a seeker gesalt just like i can do without a dinobot combiner. I gues i see these groups having enough identity as individuals (or atleast as a unique group) that the combiner angle doesnt gel - like a combiner of Soundwave with casetticon limbs is not required either.

On the other hand Hound, Wheeljack, etc.. are ok by me. :confused:

Just my 2c.

It's interesting that you say that. One of my big hopes for Combiner Wars fiction was that it would highlight and go into detail on the combiner components as individuals in a way we haven't really seen yet. Unfortunately the comic series didn't really go there since it decided to follow the story it was already telling (can't blame them for that), but there's always the Machinima, I guess.

An all helicopter group with all new molds.

Body mold could be based off the Turbomaster Rotorstorm/MW Sandstorm
Limb molds based off G1 Vortex, G1 Blades, (for obvious reasons), G1 Springer's chopper form and maybe even a chinook model.

Be nice to have some vareity in chopper models

Though I think ultimately I'd still prefer an all animal group that joined to form another animal rather than a humanoid

I like the idea of Victorion but her colour scheme. I'm hoping she gets a UW release as a Decepticon team with a better scheme. Another 'Con team would help even up the numbers as she could oppose Computron. I have wondered how she might look using an Abominus colour scheme...

I'm hoping the UW/TakaraTomy release of Victorion are all 85 Fembots, something like-

Pyra Magna - Firestar
Afterburner w/ new head - Chromia
Dustup (Deadend remold) - Elita-1
Jumpstream (Breakdown remold) - Moonracer
???? - Lancer, Greenlight, literally anyone or anything.

Having a predominantly red torso with pink, blue, green and (whatever) coloured limbs (especially if the colours were quite vivid) wouldn't be too bad, I dont think.

Does anyone know if Liokaiser will be available from more than the one online store?


I'm hoping for a UW version. I'm holding off from pulling the trigger on the Hasbro version.

I was just looking at Liokaiser from Robotkingdom. Unless of course that was the store in question :p

Nor should it. A few combiners to go (that can be retools) before they have to get a new bunch of beast figures. And yes, i want Combiner Wars: Beasts to happen and every reuse that is needed for it.

Na, Seibertron had a story up and made it sound like it was only available from this one online store (that I hadn't heard of before) but the links wouldn't work. I note this morning the links and all mention of that store have been deleted. :rolleyes:

I might wait to see if it comes up through BBTS, if it doesn't I may do the same

I think Trev was mentioning that it was an Entertainment Earth exclusive.

From memory I do recall reading some American forums being angry that it wouldn't be sold in brick and mortar stores like Walmart and Target over there.

Entertainment Earth tweeted this teaser image yesterday too of Dezarus, although why they need to obscure a toy that has been revealed in the past?


New #Transformers figures are coming… We’re revealing this @EntEarth Exclusive for pre-order 11/11/16

It's an exclusive in the US to an online store called Entertainment Earth - they've been in the game since around the same time as BBTS, but used less here because the prices tended to be higher and the shipping was dearer (particularly without a PoL option).

BBTS just put him up for preorder at $130us, due this month

Besides the Con version of Victorion, are there any CW/UW slated for 2017 people know of? Or is it finally drawing to a close do ya think?

It's had a pretty good run the last few years.
