The feet are the hands all the better to scramble city with. Better than the Energon combiners but not that much better.Originally Posted by skylynx
Wow actually decent job by Hasbro. Was a bit letdown by the feet at first, but on closer look it seems that they just glued the hands on so hopefully it's just a placeholder for the feet for now
Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

I could see slingshot being re moulded into vortex, a new head sculpt and a remold of the helicopter nose and it would look pretty good. But I don't see swindle in any of wildrider

More images of the two "glued" prototypes from the Hasbro breakfast, in the main display case.
And a couple of names have shown up that could be the name of Menasor's chest-piece robot (Blackjack)... and maybe it's redeco if the Optimus Prime toy is to be a core combiner and has the same chest-piece robot to purchase as well (Huffer).
Still not sure yet if the Legends Powerglide, Blackjack (and maybe Huffer) are sold separately as a bonus part to each combiner group. I still have to read the Hasbro panel yet.

I woke up this morning and checked Siebertron & TFW2005 and I was totally blown away...
I was really disappointed with the Voyager Optimus Prime, but I am totally happy with the Motormaster/Menasor retool. I hope we get an Optimus Prime combiner like in the G1 episode Masquerade.
Also bring on the G2 combiner repaints!

This actually looks pretty decent and despite some lack of refinement, it shows that Hasbro is watching and listening to consumer preferences.
I am looking forward to Superion provided it's not midget size but annoyed at the change of alt modes. Wouldn't surprise me if a 3rd party 'corrects' that if Hasbro expects us to buy the repaint of the set again to get the character.

Generations rolls on! That's excellent news
Yes, the combined forms look a little so-so, but the individual figures look great. Depending on my level of sentimentality, I may even pick up a Silverbolt.

OMG!!!! insane! hopefully these come out soonish and aren't on the same price range as the 3rd party stuff! Was anyone expecting something like this?

I was thinking they might as they got to have noticed the demand and success of 3Ps. However I was expecting a lot worse given their poor track record with combiners. This is a pleasant surprise, not great and some design choices are questionable but certainly looks decent as long as they charge a fair price for it.
Silverbolt still suffers from heavy undercarriage but the robot mode works. I just hope it's comparable with current combiner heights (referring to Energon and FOC) and curious about the 'connector'. I kind of hope it is an Energon style connector as it would help to improve the Energon one by replacing it with silverbolt and a couple of limbs, specially with the FP upgrades.

As mentioned earlier, i can see Slingshot repainted/tooled into Vortex and Blades, plug a .50 cal machine gun on his back and some new paint and you have Swindle. You could even squeeze out First Aid with a similar piece attached on his alt mode, like what Hoist & Trailcutter currently use.
A lightbar on Breakdown, there's Streetwise. I would even go as far as saying that Prime may be repainted into Hot Spot with a little modification. The repaint and/or remold value is definitely there.
