    As I had noted in another topic, Cyclonus, looks like a whole new toy... from the top of its jet mode and even the robot mode, you'd be forgiven to think that it was a new mould
    The same with First Aid and Streetwise with their vehicle modes.

    I was not too keen to get Cyclonus when it was first suggested to be using the Silverbolt mould, but now seeing it, I really want that jet mode.

    Yeah, if it had a sharp silver bit pointing out the front of the nosecone it would be so like the animated movie it would be scary! As it is it's just a beautiful looking representation

    I still prefer my Henkei Cyclonus, but this new one is still worth having. The Protectobots look great except for the missiles on Blades' rescue helicopter mode.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Going from strength to strength. Whoever has been given the free reign to create these figures is doing a top notch job.

    Cyclonus looks cool, but I really would have like to see his IDW samurai look, hoping someone else will make that Cyclonus some day.

    Combiner Wars/Generations: Voyager Class - Cyclonus




    • I am a BIG proponent of Cyclonus (Except for his Unicron Trilogy incarnation) and whilst I'm glad he's receiving the modern Voyager treatment he's ALWAYS deserved, I must say I'm kind of under whelmed by this CW/Gens Voyager Silverbolt Retool/Repaint Hasbro is offering
    • Cyclonus looks real good in Alt mode, but his Bot mode is just a pass & I remain in hope for an MP... Although, having learned that he forms "Galvatronus" by having Galvatron's head & chest for a combined mode? - I'm slowly coming around.



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Voyager Class - Hotspot




    • CW/Gens Voyager Hotspot looks pretty damn nice, loving the update and the colour placement, should it not vary , is entirely spot-on.
    • Looking closer at the pics however, it'd seem Hotspot is gonna have some hollowness that'll likely be contentious.
    • TOTALLY got to get a Car Robots/R.i.D Optimus Prime out of this one!



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Deluxe Class - Blades




    • Blades looks GREAT and is exactly what I was hoping for/expecting out of a modern take of that character/vehicle.
    • The CW/Gens Helicopter mold was very clearly designed to get A LOT of use & versatility is definitely its strong point as it'll see at least 4 uses, including the Fan-voted Combiner limb - I very much look forward to adding CW/Gens Blades to my army



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Deluxe Class - First-Aid




    • OH MAN! :O - First-Aid seems to of been transferred out to the Bush & has adopted an Alt mode to suit! - CW/Gens Deluxe First-Aid is BADASS!
    • The Head sculpt of First-Aid looks ripped right out of the IDW comics, but with an Alt mode robust enough to take some flak if required.
    • First-Aid is an Ambo with an odd instrument choice but with a Bush-Bashin' Alt mode like that? - WGAF?



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Deluxe Class - Streetwise




    • Streetwise is probably the guy who needed a modern take on his engineering the most as his G1 transformation, whilst different, was odd to say the least.
    • Streetwise seems to solve all of his issues whilst looking much more integrated into the Protectobot aesthetic, especially as he wasn't a "Block-head"
    • Continuing the brilliance of these updates.



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Deluxe Class - Rook




    • Now, the "New Recruit" to the CW/Gens Protectobots, going by the name of Rook, is such a superb addition to their ranks as I've often been told by my Father, a 20 year Veteran Rescue Ambulance Officer, that Emergency Services (Ambos, Firies, SES etc.) REGULARLY required Police escort for many situations (Alcoholics/Druggos/The Mentally Disturbed) & whilst Streetwise's presence would be reassuring, sometimes you need a little more muscle!
    • We had better get a Beast Machines/TF: Animated - Strika out of this mold!



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Legends Class - Groove



    • WHOA! - I am glad to see the smaller scale being employed with CW/Gens Legends Groove, his Motorcycle Alt mode is a total love-letter to Anime-based Bikes (Mospeada & Akira come to mind) but Groove in Bot mode has ended up being one LANKY motherf***er!
    • Groove has a sweet Alt mode, but his Bot mode is holding onto the last vestiges of his former height!



    Combiner Wars/Generations: Combiner Class - "Protectobot" Defensor




    • Oh hell yeah! - CW/Gens Defensor look EXCELLENT as a modern take, I am totally down with a new member being brought in for Limb-duty and Groove being relegated to Chest Defence, as it's such a logical & elegant mitigation of the whole scale issue without going "Cybertronian".
    • THIS is a bloody worthy modern Defensor and worth everybody's attention, CW/Gens Combiners may have odd proportions but who cares when they look this awesome!

    All the individual Protectobots look great. Combined mode is a bit off though. He looks to fat, which is accentuated by those tiny feet.

    I'm particularly a fan of Groove

    Hursti thanks for mirroring the images for everyone on here to see

    Groove looks a bit gangly to me, and Defensor's gun looks like it needs a bit of added chunkyness but overall, I think it's a cool set.

    Absolutely loving the G1 heads on all of the CW figures!!
