    Default Possible Slingshot & Wildrider Combiner Wars Toys

    Looks like we might be getting Slingshot and Wildrider after all :

    Great news if it turns out to be true. They must be going to be Wave 3 or something so as to get more use out of the toyline.

    Edit: Possible Spoiler
    Wonder if IDW are kicking themselves for killing Slingshot off so as to keep in line with what they thought were the new toys. They must have thought they were being very proactive



    Edit: Sorry, I hadn't seen another version of this story had been mentioned in the Japanese Combiner Wars toys thread

    "G!" should definitely be used to express overwhelming excitement about G1

    I was perfectly fine with Alpha Bravo (I liked the diversity of the Helicopter) but am also stoked to have Slingshot coming, who was the only G1 Aerialbot I had. And if IDW turns Alpha Bravo into a likeable character in his own right, then it's just win/win/win as far as I'm concerned.

    The black feet/hands of the Hasbro release don't bother me at all either...

    If Defensor or any other combiner is to also have a replacement limb like what Alpha Bravo, maybe they will release the missing one too.

    Then you could make a rejected combiner. Combine to form Rejector!

    Groove has been relegated to a supporting 'legends' sized member, with a guy named 'Rook' taking his place (a tactical police support vehicle IIRC). So I'm not holding out hope that we'll get a proper sized Groove figure as well.

    Slingshot and Wildrider are easy wins since Hasbro can just do them as repaints of existing members, but no other team has an oversized bike (not counting the technobots).

    prepare to dispense rejection.....
