Wave 3 Generations Combiner images

As the HK release approaches in little over a weeks time, the toys are already starting to appear in-hand with some Asian sources, and pictures are being posted up.

First is the Voyager Cyclonus, which is an extensive reworking of the Silverbolt toy... and has its own combiner name as well - Galvatronus, who can use any four limbs, as Cyclonus controls others at will to form the combiner.

He looks better than I'd thought. The alt mode is gorgeous (probably a deciding factor for some people- I'd display that in alt mode), and the combined mode is really nice. I'm interested to see the role they play in the comics, if they have one. Robot mode is okay, a little big in the arms.

Still not enough for me to bite (I'm always on a strict budget ), but it's not bad.

Slightly disappointed that he won't have dedicated limbs. Maybe he'll have an orphanage for all the unwanted Alpha Bravos and Off-Roads.

At least Hasbro were smart enough to include in the bio that Cyclonus poaches and controls limbs to form his combiner, so that he isn't left being an unused combiner core by kids playing with the established "teams".

SPOILERS FOR CW COMICS...



Livio on the IDW thread has mentioned that Galvatronus does not appear. He gave no comment regarding the Ultra Prime combiner though.

Yeah... all the toys are not going to be in the comic, so it is good to have the bios of those not in the comic to have a story/character element included, that makes it easy or desirable to buy them as part of the Combiner Wars concept being featured in the comic.

I actually love the bio for Cyclonus, as it makes him sound like Gen1 Mindwipe, but with the bonus of using them as extra limbs if he wants.

Cyclonus's combined form is one of the better ones, too bad there are no limbs that go with his colour scheme so far.

Looking better than I thought he would, didn't think they would add in so many new parts. However, Deluxe Cyclonus still works for me (even with my Henkei versions broken arm)

I think that if they did a one-off Deluxe Scourge mould, a lot of people would buy four of them to go with the Voyager Cyclonus... paying for the once-only use of the mould.
And for Gen1 fans, it would give us the right amount for the classic team of Scourge and 3 Sweeps from the original cartoon. (the most common number of Sweeps shown, which correlate with the 3 Insecticons & 2 Seekers Unicron used in the 1986 Movie to create Cyclonus, Scourge and Sweeps)
