CW Computron Boxset

[prjkt]

It seems we may be getting Computron after all, Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-computron-listing-found-in-tru-system/34498/) is reporting that someone's found a listing for it in the US Toys'R'Us inventory system for US$99, same price as the Victorion's and G2 Superion/Menasor box sets.

Who's buying this if it's true?

[Handsprime]

Well if it's true then yes I will buy computron. But then I would want a 3rd decepticon combiner (excluding devastator)

[CHILENO20]

Depends if the limbs are actually real Technobots and not just fill ins. If legit, definately :)

I think we have all the molds we need? Kinda? I'm guessing Strafe will be a Skyfire/Air Raid redeco/partial remold? I would've like it to be a remold of whatever Blast-Off in Unite Warriors was going to be (prob a heavy remold of Alpha Bravo). Just need a new combiner head for Scattershot.

Well Afterburner would be a retool of Groove, Nosecone a retool of Brawl, Lightspeed a retool/redeco of any of the cars and Strafe could be a retool of Firefly, Air Raid or Takara's Blast Off.

That's what I am hoping for. And as to see if it can be done, the Botcon 2016 box set shows it can:

Brawl into Nosecone

We can only hope :D

[ZoonMaster5000]

Unless they retool scattershots combiner head to look like computron I feel it will be all for nothing. If they do I'll be very excited:)

[ampoldj]

I will leave this to Takara for a proper version :rolleyes:

[DaptoDog]

I will leave this to Takara for a proper version :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly!

[Bidoofdude]

If they're all legit and new combiner bits for Scattershot, sign me up. A lot easier than tracking down limbs.

[Zommael]

Cautiously optimistic about this. Very cautiously.

[Akky82]

My thoughts exactly!

This ^

I've previously owned CW Menasor and Defensor, and sold them both. I was content with just UW Superion for a while, but just had UW Defensor delivered today and happy with it. I've also bitten and gotten UW Menasor, and UW Grand Galvatron (loving his look) and soon will order UW Grand Convoy. I'm looking forward to what TT are going to do for Bruticus, and hope they do something good for Computron too (may even order the inevitable skylynx + 4 cars) and wont be buying any more CW. UW all the way.

As for the BotCon Ramhorn's drill tank mode... not a fan at all... hollow front of vehicle mode, does it have the right place to reattach for the leg mode (ie knee).

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I'd kind of like Nosecone to be a retool of Rook.

That said, Scattershot really needs a much more extensive remold than the current mold has to work, so even with the (IMO) correct limbs it'd still be a Pass for me. And I don't really expect there to be new Technobot limbs either, though I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

The discussion topic to the posting of this news (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/01/06/combiner-wars-computron-listing-found-retail-computer-307466), has posted up from a recent source of toy info leaks (that seems to be proving itself reliable) this list back in October...


2. Deluxe Afterburner, a recolor/remold from Unite Warriors Deluxe Groove.
3. Deluxe Lightspeed, a recolor/remold from a Combiner Wars Stunticon car limb.
4. Deluxe Nosecone, a recolor/remold of Combiner Wars Brawl (yes, with the drill from BotCon Ramhorn).
5. Deluxe Strafe, a recolor/remold of a Combiner Wars Aerialbot limb jet mold. Probably not remolded much from being a conventional Earth jet though.


Now that we have a listing for a Computron team/boxset, this rumour listing might end up proving true.

[Krayt]

God damn it!!!!

Just headed to bed... And stopped to look at my CW shelf..... And my eyes fall on brawl (currently supporting grand scourge)

Let me start by saying combines are my fave thing.... Best gimmick ever!!!

But I'm a stickler for who goes where according to the show.... And how they are arranged.... So things like the backwards limbs in CW get me, but more so TF:Prime abominus is totally wrong and can't be swapped to the right way....

So now we have Computron.... I'm fine that Scattorshot is out.... Fine that some are repaints/remoulded...

But Brawl = Nosecone.... The turret doesn't spin.... The Nosecone attaches to the back of, and therefore bottom of the turret.... GAH!!! I need it at the knee pointing down!!

:(:(:(:(

[MayzaPrime]

You can't have Computron without Abominus :p

Tfw2005 has an article here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/01/07/first-look-upcoming-combiner-wars-liokaiser-307478) about a possible liokaiser CW gestalt however I tend to think it's an early nosecone mock up using brawl (hence the decipticon logo). If I'm right it gives further weight to a hasbro computron set.

The parts do look very different to the Brawl itself so I'd say either this or it's just some third party thing.

[prjkt]

That drill looks a match to the Botcon box set one, so if they're using that.... Interesting

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Looks like you can put the drill at the front of the tank turret, and then just push the turret forwards so the drill sits flush with the front of the tank.

[Keidatron]

Not feeling it for the Technobots. Kinda over all the retools and repaints. Like, I understand why they do it an all, but... meh. They started off nice and strong and now it's feels like the same old same.

[DaptoDog]

I hear you. I put my trust in Takara to salvage this mess. Computron commands respect.

[ILikeSoundwave]

When CW was first announced all I wanted was Abominus, especially now since they are making Computron. But with the whole Titans Return line it seems highly unlikely now, plus Hasbro need to find group to repaint/remold them into, which shouldn't be too hard for them.:rolleyes:

[Keidatron]

If they were to make a CW animal group, the first one would likely be Abominus IMO. At which point Sinnertwin would be probably be replaced by a new character because 'omg, the fans certainly won't TWO dragons in one group, man they'd bitch! especially when both are two headed!'. Or at the very least, one of the two dragons will be made with a single head instead of two. And now that I think of that, it'll be probably be Hun-Grrr so they can just remold Silverbolt again. Cutthroat will be awesome.

Then after that, we'll have to wait forever for Takara to fix it. Then after that, we'll get the Pretender Monsters, sans the pretender shells. Wildfly will be a Cutthroat repaint and the rest will be remolds or repaints of the Terrorcons.

Then we'll get a Dinoking repaint.

Then we'll get the Seacons. Overbite and Skalor will both be Rippersnapper repaints. The rest could very likely be new molds perhaps, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm sure Sky Lynx could be retooled into SnapTrap somehow. Nautilus will probably not get made at all until Takara does it, and even then that's sketchy given he was skipped on for God Neptune.

Then we'll get a God Neptune repaint.

Not holding my breath for a new Predaking, but if they did, Divebomb would be a Cutthroat repaint.

Then they'll do a fan poll again, everyone will vote in a heap of Cutthroats.


Sorry. I'm feeling extra cynical tonight. I'm just joking around.

[GoktimusPrime]

I know you were just kidding, but just to belay any concerns that anyone else might have, remember that both Hun-Grrr and Sinnertwin (Twinstrike) were included in TFPBH Abominus. I think that Hasbro are well are that Twinstrike is an orthus, not a dragon. :D It'd be neat to have Generations versions of Monstructor, Dinoking, Piranacon, Predaking etc. :)

[griffin]

From the same source (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/combiner-wars-computron-full-image/34725/), who seems to have posted up a larger sized version of the Computron artwork... suggesting that the sixth member Legends toy could be the yellow thing attached to the left shoulder of Computron like a shield.

Suggestion is it's a yellow repaint of Cosmos (as Scrounge from the Marvel Comics) that was previously rumoured to be coming.

New hands and feet, but looks like not a full prototype as the legs and body look reused from released bots.

I hope the head changes, otherwise he'll look too similar to Superion.

From the big cropped pic, it looks like it's the same as Superion's:

Well Computron and Superion did have similar heads - main differences were colours and the Computron had a full face

[Raider]

Interesting on the actual pic that nosecone has the Decepticon insignia on him, that is clearly takaras groove prototype and lightspeed is clearly just smokescreen given the numbers. Must be an early prototype shot. Just shows how little effort it takes when the retool

[DELTAprime]

I really hope Takara Tomy do some extra remoulding when they get around to doing their version. The more I see of Hasbro's Computron the more I don't like it.

You're right. And that photo is the source of the pic that people thought was part of Liokaiser, casting that combiner into doubt.

Maybe that drill tank in the photo is actually an early version of the BotCon Ramhorn

I tend to think its a retooled Brawl. The BotCon one has a Predacon insignia on it.

Edit: remembered I said the same thing in the Lio Kaiser thread

I still think this is nosecone and part of the speculated computron set.

[DELTAprime]

Also the hands and feet are third party.

The sensible thing is to do up a cheap mockup to see if the idea will work or even get approval from the bosses or bean-counters, so this was probably the very first physical concept proposal, thrown together with existing toys and prototype parts/toys. Judging by the grey Groove prototype being used, you can probably work out the rough time-frame this proposal idea was whipped together at the Hasbro offices.

Yes, the grey photo of the drill that was labelled as Liokaise (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/01/07/first-look-upcoming-combiner-wars-liokaiser-307478)r is indeed from this image, but the artwork of Liokaiser (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/01/08/possible-liokaiser-artwork-leaked-307486) is in the same style of the Combiner Wars combiners, so should mean it is real too.

Maybe. But there was also recently that artwork of Omega Supreme (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/1059119-nice-art-omega-supreme.html) in the same style that was found to be fan art, so I'm not 100% convinced about Liokaiser yet. Two bits of evidence made it more believable but the art on it's own...?

He's still too much of a forced repaint for me to get, but those feet and fists are a HUGE improvement over previous CW's toys. Why didn't they just do that to start with. Kinda wondering what the rumored Liokaiser will look like now

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

... those feet and fists are a HUGE improvement over previous CW's toys. Why didn't they just do that to start with.

They probably saw how popular the Perfect Effect add-ons were and decided not to cheap out this time.

[philby]

not sure if I will get this one. I knew and loved the inital combiners when I was a kid so I bought superion, menasor and defensor and have the takara bruticus on order. I think even though the old ones all had unique molds Computron stood out as different with the more out there sci fi aesthetic and I don't think this one really does it. I never had any technobots and don't really remember watching any cartoon episodes with them so I have less nostalgic feelings towards them too. So perhaps this is when 'mold fatigue' has gotten me :)

[Zommael]

He's still too much of a forced repaint for me to get, but those feet and fists are a HUGE improvement over previous CW's toys. Why didn't they just do that to start with?

Because they needed parts that could be used as either fist or foot for the individual deluxes. The boxed sets don't have that issue. It was discussed when they showed off Victorion the first time.

[prjkt]

Glad I preordered this one. I like the new paint job on Scattershot (solo release was definitely a beta[tron]) and Afterburner looks sweet.

Can't wait to see the alt-modes.

[Smint]

So he does come with improved feet and hands?

They look like an improvement over the skeletal hands and clown shoes of the PE set.

Had they made changes to the torso and head i would have bought this.

[Bladestorm]

Hmmm... I think I might wait and see if/what Takara do with him before purchasing this guy as I'm not sold on it from these images. That may change when we see the limbs in hand of course...

[DaptoDog]

Ok I'm a lot more excited for Computron now. He looks sleek and the hands and feet make a big difference in my opinion. I think the Unite Warriors one will look even better so I'll be picking up that one.

[pleaseexplain101]

its nice it comes with better hands/feet by default, the UW version will be the better choice per usual and adding the PE addon (chestplate + Head) will make it look real nice

[Sinnertwin]

Victorion got a new set of hands and feet, so it's good to see them branching out with other combiners too
Wishful thinking, but it would be have been nice to see them released with these in the first place, or even official upgrade kits.

[BigTransformerTrev]

They probably saw how popular the Perfect Effect add-ons were and decided not to cheap out this time.

I'll be getting the one to replace the chest and head. Besides that I think he looks awesome! Just a shame about Nosecone just looking like a normal tank with a drill shoved on (then he IS a drill tank I guess) and I'd like to get a better look at Strafe.

[SuspectimusPrime]

He's the best looking combiner in the series so far!

[Lint]

He's still too much of a forced repaint for me to get, but those feet and fists are a HUGE improvement over previous CW's toys. Why didn't they just do that to start with. Kinda wondering what the rumored Liokaiser will look like now

Agreed. Maybe a better look at some of the limb alt and bot modes may deliver some pleasant surprises but that Nosecone is just cringeworthy.

Lovin the fists and feet :D

[TAAUBlaster]

I like the new hands and feet. They look pretty good now.

Well done Hasbro for finally getting it right... at the end of the line :rolleyes: :p

[Bidoofdude]

Nice.

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

TFW user Roguesaint did a digibash using the PE head and chest and it looks way better!:

[Bladestorm]

Wow - those PE add ons make a HUGE difference.

I just wish they weren't so darn expensive for what they are.

[UltraMarginal]

Hmmm... I think I might wait and see if/what Takara do with him SNIP

Totally! I wouldn't be completely surprised to see some scattershot remoulding by Takara.

[BigTransformerTrev]

Do we know if Hasbro will be releasing the Technobots individually or will they only be as a boxset? I will of course grab the UW boxset as I like to have one gestalt and one set of the individual robots. But since I already have Scattershot if the Hasbro version is a boxset too it means I'll end up with three of him and the figure really doesn't impress me enough to warrant that.

[spiderken17]

This looks pretty good, the new feet change the entire robot, now he doesn't look like an ape, even better with the PE kit.

I would think that it is just a boxset, because...

1 - the retail release of Combiner Wars is now over.
2 - Hasbro haven't yet done box sets of teams released individually.
3 - Computron has new hands and feet, and as someone had noted, they wouldn't be released with the individual toys.

It's quite possible that this boxset concept was thought up late, after Scattershot was already locked in for release with Onslaught, but after Hasbro knew about the Japanese Deluxe Groove and the drill tank attachment for Nosecone.

If anyone is interested I've put a review of the Hasbro Computron set (https://lisamaree.wordpress.com/2016/07/12/test-driving-combiner-wars-computron/) up on my blog as I got to play with him in hand at the Hasbro Hong Kong trial and play event.

[GoktimusPrime]

Wow, seeing the image of Afterburner next to the others really shows how grossly out of scale that Deluxe bike is! :eek: I preordered the Hasbro one before news of the TakaraTOMY version came out. Then I eventually caved and preordered the TakaraTOMY one too. I'm going to receive my Hasbro one first, which I'll open because I want to keep Scrounge... then comes the tricky part of trying to offload an Scrounge-less set of Technobots.

I've been a fan of the G1 comics since the beginning, so Scrounge is a character from my childhood, but I can't help but wonder how many people are jumping on the Scrounge bandwagon now that he finally has a toy. :o Ah well, I'm sure I'll eventually find a buyer... probably have to wait a few years though. :rolleyes:

If your not keeping the feet and hands of the hasbro set, it might make it an incentive for somebody to get

Just a thought

Eh... part of me is kinda tempted to keep both - display Hasbro's in individual robot modes and TakTOM's in combined mode. Although I would obviously offload the Hasbro version if I ever needed the cash.

I'll take it :p

There is wisdom in what Goktimus says. I'm half tempted to by the Hasbro, keep scrounge, and try to offload the set, but if I can't and I'm stuck with it, I'll go for vehicle or robo modes for the Hasbro.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, but another real problem for me is the increasing lack of space.
PM'd 1AZRAEL1. ;)

I've got both sets on order as well, I'm thinking I might be mixing/matching parts to make the Computron I like the most.

Problem is finding someone who'll buy the "leftovers" from such a combination. As it is I can't find anyone interested in taking my CW Computron sans Scrounge (so they may very well be relegated to being a spare set to display as individual robots). :o

Or one could grab a couple of paints in garish colours and randomly splash 'em all over the toys and call it "Generation 2." :p

with all the other orphan limb bots and torsos we'd be able to create some pretty cool new combiners that way....

You haven't found anyone to buy coz you haven't actually tried to sell it have you?

I would take in a heartbeat.... even without scrounge....

He looks good. Probably the best looking out of all the CW combiners.

Superion was always the best looking CW combiner.
