    Default COMBINER WARS shipping in December!

    Taken from the post in TFW2005. RobotKingdom has pre-orders for Wave 1 of COMBINER WARS next month!

    This includes Voyager Optimus and Silverbolt. Leader Megatron is scheduled for late December.

    More information can be found on their Facebook page.

    Personally this is awesome! Getting an official Superion that is somewhat comparable to the third-party releases is a dream come true. Especially since I won't need to kill my bank-account for it. Silverbolt + Dinobots Unleashed = Very happy FruitBuyer for Christmas!

    I wouldn't say it is comparable to 3P releases generally. They are is still not that great.

    However I will agree when it comes to Superion. Although the TFC one is infinitely superior to the Hasbro version, its aesthetics are not for everyone. The FP upgrade of Superion Maximus is decent but suffers a lot of problems due to the shortcomings of the base mold.

    I am mostly looking forward to this as although I see the new Hasbro Superion as incredibly flawed, it still better than Superion Maximus and may be better upgradable.

    I'm not expecting anything like Hercules/Uranos/Feral Rex, just something with better proportions than every other official combiner released, which is what I meant by comparability.

    Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere too. Would be nice to get something in stores that I would actually consider buying. Over all this Kreo / Constructobot / AoE / Mash-up crap.

    Yes. They should be here by Easter (if not a bit sooner).

    Having seen some of these toys in hand (albeit only sealed), the level of design/engineering looks to be about on par with the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons. The Voyagers are also a good size, approx. on par w/ the size of Generations Voyagers (rather than say the smaller TFP or AoE Voyagers ).

    I hope that you ordered EMS shipping Fruitbuyer, or you may have a bleak Christmas otherwise. I learnt this the hard way for Dec. releases!
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Got a response from RK, they don't plan on doing individual orders for figures, not even the leaders. I could preorder the Megatron wave if someone was looking for only the Armada one. It's a bit of a hassle though.
    Seeking the Following:
    - CW Brawl
    - Earthrise Runabout
    - Earthrise Thrust
