That totally sounds dirty.

I think its just yours. Toysrus in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have had the first wave for about a month now. Though always in limited quantity so they do sell out fast.

You can add BC to that list as well.

It's not just you. They're finally showing up here in Iowa. Mostly targets now walmarts are finally getting them. We have 2 toysrus in Des Moines and the only combiner wars figures that they have is one legends Thundercracker.

If your referring to Drag Strip's height in leg mode, there is a step in his transformation missing from the instructions. The spoiler and back end of the car are hinged and fold up over the back wheels revealing a hidden 5mm port for the foot. This makes his leg mode the same height as everyone else.

EDIT:pardon the redundancy of post.

Nailed it. Thanks guys!

Looking for the fourth limb to your Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Superion? Look no further than Hasbro's Air Raid, according to fellow Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999! And if you don't believe us reporting it, read on below for their opinion, and check out the video review of the missing Aerialbot embedded below.

This is it, the final member of the Aerialbots, and the final limb for Superion. Air Raid is probably my favorite limb since the jet mode reminds me of the Skystriker from GI Joe. Transformation is very similar to the rest of the team right down to the fantastic hinged leg joints. If you're a fan you've probably already have this figure on order, hope it comes to you real soon.

Thanks for sharing, big thank you for not showing articulation as you said you see one transformation you see it all same with articulation seen once deluxe, voayger, leaders, legion class all move same way regardless on character just differnt transformation and look I wander about wings in jet mode if it would actually move as real jet in top gun movie wasn't expecting wings to be able to have that big range of movement in jet mode

If it's on their robot mode butts, then it's to allow one to attach the toys to display stands that allow the toys to be posed dynamically in midair.

Something occurred to me last night.

Considering that we are getting some all-new non-traditional combining robots here... People like Cyclolus and Prime and Alpha Bravo...

Considering that they aren't locking themselves just into 'the way they should be...' and thinking outside the box....

I can not express how much I would LOOOOOOOVE to see the original Dinobots show back up. Slag, Swoop, Grimlock, Sludge, and Snarl as a 5-bot combiner...

I don't know what their big bot form would look like...

But I REEEEEALY want to see this happen!!! :grin:

Be careful what you wish for.

That is horrifying... and a little depressing.

I'm gonna go back into my imagination and keep working them till they are both A) cool, and B) non-psychopathic and needing to be put down...

Actually starting this year I'm not focusing on articulation since I've noticed many a great toy being derided because it can't move like a master Yogi.

Yeah, its weird. I'm in Toronto, and the TRU is at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton, a pretty major area. It might just be that they are getting such limited quantities in that I keep getting screwed. I have seen (and bought) Silverbolt, and then I saw Optimus, Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly once each, and not at the same time either, but didn't have the ability to get them. And ever since I got my Silverbolt its been high-and-dry. It doesn't help though that the store still has a glut of AOE deluxes and Voyagers and Leaders they keep putting on ever cheaper clearance, and oddly a Predaking from Prime that just sits there on the shelf all alone.
