TFYuki's twitter account tweeted out a teaser for the Takara Tomy version of Combiner Wars. He says there will be more info by the end of January in Dengeki Magazine.

However end of Jan is so far away .. so, I am still going to double dip and get Hasbro versions of Wave 1/2 to tie me over

Hoping their Slingshot (or whatever jet it is) looks good enough with the rest of the Hasbro jets.

Reading the Japanese comments, one user is speculating that the JP Aerialbots will be called 'Aerialbots' instead of 'Airbots,' as per TakaraTOMY's recent trend to use G1 Anglophone names over G1 Japanese names (e.g. Convoy-->Optimus Prime, Skyfire-->Jetfire etc.). I guess that other gestaltnames will be similarly changed, i.e.:
Stuntrons-->Stunticons
Combatrons-->Combaticons
Guardian-->Defensor
Glaze-->Blades
Air Rider-->Air Raid
Fast Aid --> First Aid </cheek>
Sling-->Sling Shot (although I wouldn't be surprised if they used the name 'Alpha Bravo')

Although one thing is... Superion has always been called Superion in Japan, but the pronunciation is different in Japanese (more like "Spare-ee-on"). So while TakaraTOMY may maintain the same 'spelling' of Superion in Japanese, Japanese fans will most likely still pronounce it the Japanese way instead of saying "Soo-peer-ee-on".

Cool

Air Raid seems like a name that was lost in translation, as does First Aid.

Air Raid was definitely changed to "Air Rider" in Japanese.
The Fast Aid/First Aid thing isn't true, I was just being silly. In truth, most Japanese speakers can't differentiate between the pronunciation of "Fast" and "First," and both are written exactly the same way in Japanese (ファースト). It's because the unstressed neutral /ə/ vowel doesn't exist in Japanese (which exclsively uses pure vowels (monophthongs)).
