Combiner Wars Onslaught and Scattershot In-Package Images

UGH. If ONLY they'd used a dark maroon color instead of a slightly darker red on Scattershot. It would have made a world of difference in his deco being better. Too bad about the wonky jet mode and strict recolor of torso mode. And no Technobot limbs. But I digress...

I'll wait to see what Takara is doing with the Combaticons, then make a decision on whether or not to get Onslaught.

^ word on the 'vine is we are getting Technobot limbs.

Combiner Wars is ending on the second wave of 2016 and their isn't any wave for computron and probably takara will make A UW computron which will probably be heavy remolds fo previous figures

I never said they were being released under the combiner wars moniker, just that there is a strong rumor that we are getting the limbs.

It has been in the titans return thread about the rumors regarding Technobot limbs. It is heavily rumored that they are coming out in that line

That is all true, yes. But it doesnt exclude the possibility for a boxset like Victorion down the line.

Do we have official ETA for when this CW wave with Bruticus combiners will arrive Stateside? Think we'll see it in November?

It might possibly be in stock at web retailers in novermber, yes. Bu actually in stores, it is far more likely to either be right around christmas or indeed january as was said (in canada, we only got the superion line in 2015)

So does Onslaught have purple lightbars on the rear of his vehicle mode? (look at his knees)

What if TFCC did their own Technobots? Would there be rejoicing or anger like way back with the Games of Deception set?

There's always anger on this site when it comes to TCC toys.

There would probably be a lot of disgruntled fans since it would not be a retail release and would cost more than double (since you have to buy a club membership to get the subscription).

Whoever named the combaticons mixed up the names. Bruticus should be the individual robot's name and Onslaught should be the combined robot's name. I'd be more scared of a combined robot named Onslaught then Bruticus.

Bob Budiansky would like a word with you.

I wonder how much of Onslaught's Green will change to silver with that running change they mentioned at Botcon?

Looks like they did a good job of retooling Hot Spot. Looking forward to these.... Sadly, 'Scattershot' didn't fare so well...

I must be the only person who is sick of freaking the Combaticons any version of them: G1, G2, Rid 2k, Universe, FoC and now CW. I wanted to see the Predacons, Seacons, Terrorcons, Pretender Monsters/Dinoforce, The Wreckers, The Trainbots, or any of various combiner teams from Victory finally make their way in Combiner Wars that would have been much cooler than another stupid version of Bruticus/Ruination.

In most media I think Devastator is overused to a sicking degree, but when it comes to toys they got nothing on the damn Combaticons.

Are you speaking strictly of the toys? Or the characters as well?

I gotta disagree with you on this. I think the Combaticons should have gotten the treatment the Constructicons have gotten, in both toys and media. They should be the most used, as they have the most use. Them and the Predacons. I couldn't care any less about Devastator or Menasor, or any of the other teams. Give me some Combaticons and Predacons to go against Protectobots and Aerialbots and I'm happy. No need for any other gestalt teams.

I think the biggest reason the combaticons are so popular toy-wise is because they're an easy sell. They have the most diverse alt mode selection of any classic combiner team, and they look cool. That's probably why they were used in RID over any other team, and thanks to RID, a new generation of fans was introduced to them (me among them).

Funny thing is, with all the Brutici released, I have yet to get one. I have FoC Ruination, but not Bruticus. This will be my first and honestly this is the best version of him period, So I really look forward to it

Really yeah best Bruticus. Onslaught and other individuals not so sure. I don't have any other version of the characters so I couldn't really say on the individuals

You're joking right? In what media's has devastator been used? Tf Devastation, and what else... He hasn't been in any show, nor any previous videogame's; he only showed up for a minute or so in the movies. Nor have the combaticons either, with only a lackluster level in on videogame; not sure what dream world you're living in, but I don't think anyone should be complaining that we're finally getting proper combiners - on a side note, I am so down for the G2 neon-camo ombaticons

Personally I think the Encore reissue of Bruticus was the best. You could combine the weapons like the RID version and lets not forget thanks to Brawl having that extra peg you had some combination options.

I'm confused, which version of Onslaught is getting released first?

And how many of those were the Combaticons in? Besides the G1 stuff. I know about those.

Hey I know we are talking about new stuffs that hasn't made it to market, but I just spotted CW Ultra Magnus at a local Target. First I've seen/heard of in Louisiana.



I got mine some time ago via HTS.

He hasn't made his way to South Georgia yet, so I got him from TRU.

The silver one is toy accurate:

YouTube reviewer Optibotimus has a review of Combaticons Blast-Off up. He also name drops having Brawl in the review. Hopefully this means we will see them in stores soon.

Having just watched the review, I find it interesting that his bio talks about how he was required to scan a jet mode by Onslaught after getting captured and released and how he does not particularly like it much, plus how lonely he is in orbit by himself.

I'm happy and look forward to getting him

He's so optimistic (optibotimistic (thew-ism)) about them being at retail soon, I mean, I know it's what he says, but, come on, they aren't even at bbts yet.

Guess it does prove though that they are nearer than we thought

At least he is supportive of the jet blast off (Jet-off?) and is ok with it not being a shuttle (blashuttle?) since it makes sense. I agree too, I'm good with him. Plus he just posted a picture on facebook and the combaticon limbs (combatilimbs?) all look good together.

I dont think that means he still wont get the takara version when its revealed.

All the fans said they were happy with a legends groove...until they saw Takara's Defensor. I dont expect this to be any different. We are happy with what we have until we see something better.

Yeah, I needed the jet limb; but that's not to say that I wouldn't say no to a TT blast-off just to have for someone else...

Yeah but I'd sooner wait than pay out the a$$ for an underpainted copy of a combiner I already have though, same goes for this set

I dunno, any spare that might be packaged with sky lynx... or just to swap out as swindle looks great on his own... I just like having extra options with this line, the lack of it in the side is my biggest problem with it.

Yeah, you're right about that. But at the same time there are still lots of people who are happy with the hasbro versions, all things set aside. And even if they want takara over hasbro, many times the hasbro version will still be bought and they won't want to spend the money to get a little different copy.

As we are now at mid-November, we are starting to see reviews pop up for the Generations figures making up the first wave of Combiner Wars 2016. Fellow Seibertronian Optibotimus has reviewed Generations Combiner Wars Blast Off. This is the most controversial of the set since, while Combiner Wars Bruticus has all his original members being released at standard retail (unlike what has appeared in every Combiner Wars wave so far), Blast Off's alt mode is the only one to have changed drastically; going from a space shuttle to a jet, and a repaint no less. Thus, this is the toy people were most hesitant for and it is good to now be able to see it in a review.

Enjoy!

Reading up on his facebook page, by the end of the week all the combaticons will be reviewed: Brawl on monday, Vortex on wednesday and Swindle on Friday. He also said that Brawl is actually not impressing him, as he has very loose joints and the chest is a mess. We'll just have to see when that review comes out tomorrow!

Glad he's a jet, love the colors, BUT he could've used more paint, not too happy that there's no remolding

Loose joints are subjective, usually fixable, and varies case by case; I wouldn't be too worried

I got mine from BBTS. THey got a very small shipment in and filled a few preorders. I was luckily on that list

I like the way you see things and I see them the same way too. I dont need him to be a space shuttle per say but what would be fun about a space shuttle would be the assurance that we are getting something new with this figure. Since there is nothing new about the molding here, the toy feels like it is giving less added value aside from having another jet limb but now in a different colour.

I dont see this release any different than say... this:
