Well G2 didn't take long to get here did it? That does look cool though, I'll give it that

Only because they skipped g2 defensor and o/p maximus (or whatever)

Even so, lots of new stuff with Bruticus involved today

Well, it would make sense to make them at the same time as, funpub and TT are both waiting to use the molds.

I dont think Takara has to wait, they simply have their own schedule.

Well they probably offset their schedule so that they aren't both trying to get the molds at the same time...

[william-james88]

But yeah, funpub need to start making the tfcc figs and the botcon stuff; while TT want to be ready to drop their Bruticus 'round next march (do we know if he is before or after galvatronus?)

After Galvatronus. And technically, we dont know if that is galvatronus yet. For all we know it could be a repaint as a crown wearing starscream. Especially since they have ye to confirm if they will ever release the other generations crowned starscream.

Fine, do we know whether 'the combiner utilizing the mold formerly used by hasbro for glavatronus' will be released before or after bruticus?



It just seemed easier to say galvatronus...

[william-james88]

Definitely going to skip the first two (sups and menasor) and save up for bruticus, but if g2 defensor is anything like the prototypes auctioned off, I'll be passing on them too

Sadly though, Bruticcus would be the only G2 with the wrong limbs being released. Sups and Menasor both include the right set of limbs that was at first not available at retail, making them perfect homages to their G2 combiner selves. This one though uses the jet mold for Blastoff rather than a space shuttle.

I am also curious to see the deco on the shockwave they include.

Haha, I had answered you before moving on to the next point. And I wasnt trying to be a ballbuster, I just find it cool that while it is perfectly fine for us to reffer to that as galvatronus, we still technically know nothing of what it looks like. While I probably wont get it, I am super curious.

[Noideaforaname]

G2 -- Yes!
Shockwave included -- Yes!!
Blast Off is a jet -- Blech, pass.

Yeah, that's why I like it

I would like TT's blast-off, but as a separate figure - I don't want a shuttle on my combat vehicle combiner

I'm super tempted, if only to have more limbs (as on galvatronus will be a separate fig if they are both cyclonus) but I'm waiting to see pics first, I love all the molds, so it's a no-brainer for me. Wow, TT's galvatronus, and G2 bruticus, that's a lot of cash to drop on repaints, might have to go without

I have similar feelings. Recon jet that has orbital abilities does sound and look better with the combat team. idk, just makes sense to me

[chuckdawg1999]

I'm holding off to see what Takara does for Bruticus. Shuttle Blast-Off, torso fix for Brawl, and maybe an extra gun for Onslaught; I hope. I really don't like they're using hot SPOTS guns like that.

So with the limbs and torsos out, when are the legends coming? I'd really like to get that Shockwave in hand.

[Flashwave]

Well shucks, I want a G2 Defensor...

[Hellscream9999]

Well shucks, I want a G2 Defensor...

I dunno, that's a whole lotta orange, 90's orange...

I take that back, he's mostly blue/navy. Was his deco ever finished? How would hasbro know how to design it if it wasn't, is that why we haven't seen a G2 Defensor yet? Maybe they would just wing it...

[Seibertron]

If the Combiner Wars G2 Menasor and G2 Superion sets announced earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con were up your alley, then you'll be equally excited about Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus! A poor quality image of the front of the box leaked online yesterday, but now we've got some official images directly from Hasbro that we can share with all of you that Hasbro showed us during a presentation earlier this week.

Bruticus is a Decepticon Combiner made from the Combaticons Onslaught, Swindle, Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off. As an extra bonus, a Legends Class Shockwave figure is included so that you can recreate those classic scenes from the Generation One episode "The Revenge of Bruticus". This giftset presents all 6 of these characters in classic Generation 2 colors. Of special note is Shockwave, whose color scheme homages his 1990 G1 Action Master counterpart.

While an exact date was not specified for this product's release date, we're estimating some time around next summer (early 3rd quarter). As more information about this product becomes available, we will be sure to share it with all of you. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all of your latest Transformers news and information!

[Rated X]

Hopefully takara will cash in and do a real G2 Blast Off. I hate that stupid slingshot repaint that didnt even get a faceplate when they could have used the fireflight head. That mouth just annoys the crap outta me like hes saying "I blow". I need me a shuttle. I think the idea of a military shuttle that launches spy satellites is cool and unique. Its ironic that nobody complains about a passenger concorde being teamed up with 4 fighter jets but they all hate the shuttle.

[william-james88]

I dont know man, doesnt look like takara cares to do any G2 stuff like Hasbro.

[steals_your_goats]

Hey there everyone I just listened to the latest transmissions podcast and they dropped a pretty big and unexpected news bomb. It seems that we'll (unfortunately) be getting one final use out of the combiner molds as...drum roll please


LIOKAISER

Yes indeed according to their inside source Hasbro will be doing a combiner wars Liokaiser using 2 tank molds, two jets, an arms micron for a chest piece and skylynx as the torso. The skylynx repaint will be the character Deathsaurus.

So what does everyone think? Personally I'm getting tired of the same molds (yes even I'm tired of them) but Liokaiser is something I'm definitely interested in.

2 of the tank mold that doesn't seem to have any torso stability in bot mode and a non-Leozack torso -

skylynx as the torso. The skylynx repaint will be the character Deathsaurus.

and two jets, which ought to be the Airraid and Skydive molds as Hellbat and Guyhawk.

I hope that they don't bother, as it sounds like they're just milking what they've got.

I think it's worth waiting until images come out because the idea is set least interesting. And who knows maybe they'll fix the brawl mold by then. I agree that they're milking it and like I said I'm getting tired of it too but if the combined mode looks good I'll be interested.

[Sabrblade]

Oh, but of course, why wouldn't the torso of Liokaiser not be Leozack when they can instead make it into his boss who was never a part of Liokaiser in the first place! Totally makes sense, yeah!

And the fact that Jallguar from Swindle, one of the most OBVIOUS redeco/remold ideas for a CW Liokaiser, is not being done just reeks of pure logic and common sense. Truly, such an idea is worth doing.

I can see why they made some decisions that they did. First of all Jallguar was never a limb in Liokaiser so it was a catch 22 for his portion. People would complain either way so they went with the actual limbs. As far as the torso goes I can see them not wanting to use the silverbolt torso again since they've used it 3 times already. Instead they use a mold that's only been used once and can at least homage another character that has ties to the combiner in some way. This was a risk for them to take in the first place and I'm sure some people are happy they did. Right now I'm not totally sure and am reserving any real thoughts until a picture comes out. The way I see it is if they're going to be doing box sets now then let them go crazy with them. Since they're repaints they're not costing Hasbro much to make them so they're not taking budget away from anywhere else and since they're not main line releases they're not interfering with other characters coming out. Obviously not everyone is going to be happy with it but I appreciate the nod ( however slight) to the collectors because they're pretty much the only ones who Will know who this team is.

Just my two cents on the matter.

It makes sense in my head,

If they did Jaruga and Leozack as limbs, Sold it as a set of 7, with Deathsaurus as the torso, hell they could even do Deathcobra (was that his name in the show?) helicopter limb to round out the set as 8. It represents their interaction with Deathsaurus as the breast force. Give them all arms micron weapons too while we're at it. There's plenty of existing mold potential for that set.

Also, this is floating around twitter today:

Full blown conspiracy mode:

What if part of next years tfss 5.0 will have the last 3 members of the breast force team. It was said in an interview that the service was approved at the same time as 4.0 and Will have some combiner wars molds but not all of them will be. It was also said that they will be characters that American fans haven't had a chance to get before.

Also g2 Bruticus looks really nice actually. I'll definitely be getting him.

[ThunderThruster]

The limbs themselves MAY be worth getting, but I'm really not sold on Deathsaurus as the torso.
I get why Jaruga isn't a limb, but it does feel off to be getting 2 tanks and jets, when we could get some more variation with a Swindle repaint.

[Genericon #378]

Hopefully takara will cash in and do a real G2 Blast Off. I hate that stupid slingshot repaint that didnt even get a faceplate when they could have used the fireflight head. That mouth just annoys the crap outta me like hes saying "I blow". I need me a shuttle. I think the idea of a military shuttle that launches spy satellites is cool and unique. Its ironic that nobody complains about a passenger concorde being teamed up with 4 fighter jets but they all hate the shuttle.

I find it ironic that when Hasbro repaints something, it's stupid, but when Takara does it, it's the bomb.
