Question regarding the newish Motor Master and Friends

[CyberiusPrime]

Hello everyone,

I’ve seen these on the shelf and love the box art. This might seem like a silly question, do the new figures combine?

[JJJ]

Yes, but not the same way the Combiner Wars toys did. Instead of plugging into Motormaster, the limb-bots plug into a skeletal frame that is formed Motormaster's trailer, and then Motormaster plugs into that back of the skeletal frame.

Yes. Yes they do. (https://i.redd.it/e8cchyyg412a1.jpg)

Lol, I never thought of trying that.

One further question, i have seen BBTS and some others advertising a pre-order for Wild Rider for First quarter of 2023.
Some other online retailers and ebay seem to be selling him also, is there a difference of model from the one available to the one coming?

Wild Rider and not Breakdown?

Dunno - the only explanation I can think of is distribution shenanigans, because Wild Rider is definitely already out - looking at mine right now :)


No, hang on, I know this! There was a store inventory listing (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/upc-ean-barcode-list-for-modern-transformers-toys.1074170/page-29#post-20566133) (with a separate product code and all) that was for "Robo WLD Ridr", which is generally being taken to mean Wild Ride (the Japanese name for X-Brawn) from Robots In Disguise 2001.

So either the speculation about the exact name was wrong, or these stores have put the wrong name (ordinary Wildrider) on their pages.

I went to the BBTS I thought my eyes may have deceived me. Unless it is a rerelease?

BBTS has been a bit weird with their stock of late. They still haven't got Dragstrip in.
