In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Legends Powerglide

Edit: Saw an earlier post about his head being mistransformed. Still, looks great.

The only Combiner Wars toy I'm 100% sold on. Awesome little dude.

looks pretty good

Very cool, but....uhhh....why does it show Skydive transforming into Powerglide on the box?

Oh wait.....Skydive is just holding Powerglide in his gun mode. Rad.

Holy carp that little Powerglide looks great! I never got round to picking up the Classics Powerglide, and was never that bothered about him, but this little guy looks great! It's funny because the Legends figures are doing it for me more than the deluxe/voyager ones.

one of the coolest bot mods i have seen in a while. i love those arms.

GREAT!

I'm so glad I chose not to settle for all the other representations currently out there for a decent Powerglide and this is more than decent. It's a shame they didn't give him a weapon but I think I can provide there.

Now it's time to see what Takara has to show when the time comes...I hope.

That's a point I wonder if this will come under the Legends line in Japan or if TakaraTomy have other plans.

Nowadays, TakaraTomy puts Scouts and Legends/Commanders in 2-packs. It's pretty possible he'll be paired with Blackjack when the time comes.

Or in a two-pack with a repaint of him as Badboy, like they did with the Windcharger and Rumble molds.

It's actually very funny that about two or three pages ago some people were complaining that the combiners were too different from G1 and now people are complaining that Silverbolt is too G1...

I love this place...

Who said we were complaining? I certainly wasn't.

I wonder how this Powerglide will compare to the DotM Commander one. Also, "Autobot Powerglide"? Trademarks strike again

And here I said I was satisfied with the Ultra-class Powerglide...

Well I don't think I am anymore.

I'm Torn; on one hand, Powerglide looks great. On the other, I have a soft spot for the Ultra class figure released several years ago. But, the toy just doesn't really fit anywhere in my collection, because he's just too big for Classics.

*sigh* first world problems.

Powerglide looks Purrrrfect!
How do they manage it on such small scales? It's great. Can't wait for the releases!

And finally, from blacklai over at TFND, we get a look at the first Transformers Generations Combiner Wars assembled figure - more or less - Superion! Check out the images below, which include the combination of all deluxe Aerialbots released in wave 1, Voyager Silverbolt, plus Powerglide as a weapon, and Dragstrip lending a hand to Autobots for the shot.

this is how i feel:

He's looking really good!

I hope that we'll be seeing more shots with other combiners to show is scale.

I think we can all agree that while far from perfect, these are great for the pricepoint As a side note I wonder if the club is going to run with all these new molds and create a new combiner

shajaki wrote:this is how i feel:

I feel like that too.

So no more kibble(i.e. detached hip guard etc except fists and weapons)? Given the price point, yup , this IS looking good! I can't wait for the Tomy version! Hopefully they recreate the chrome parts for Silverbolt ala G1!

My dreams have come true! He can limb swap!

i'm digging these so much.. the only niggles are the hands showing (they could've had them fold inwards or something) and well I have 3 ultra class figures that will get overshadowed by this lot

Powerglide, Silverbolt, ...
who's the third?

This is amazing! I am really amazed by Powerglide since it was written a few pages ago that I shouldnt except the same complexity and posability as a scout in a Legends figure. And yet here it is and it looks great. 10 steps to convert, that's as complex as the Voyager Optimus coming out too.
So Windcharger really has no excuse.

Wow, this looks waaaaaayyyy better than the ones shown off at Botcon (mistransformed...AGAIN!!!) and I will now probably not only think twice about that next 3rd party combiner, but I'll actually wait until Has/Tak release their own version of it before I even put in a preorder on BBTS. I really didn't expect these to look this good, but there he is in all his Generations style combiner glory. My only nitpick is the forearms which are a bit too long (apeish) and he has the same problem that FP's not-Menasor has with the extremely obvious robot legs pretending to be arm joints but looking more like an anvil hanging on 2 spaghetti noodles. But unlike with FP's, since this one's arms are too long for my tastes, I've got a sneaking suspicion that I can either fix completely or at least improve both situations by simply collapsing the thighs into the lower legs a bit assuming the legs transform by extending out of the lower/rear bits of the jets/cars etc., which it looks like they do. I may lose just a bit of articulation, but for what I'll gain in better proportions and less ANAS (Anvil-Noodle-Arm-Syndrome ) I think it will be well worth it.

And oh yes, that Powerglide is one of the best looking 'Classics' style minibots I've ever seen. Not even the third parties have topped that with any of their offerings for this or any other character so far in my opinion, at least for G1 cartoon and toy accuracy. He looks damn perfect and he will be mine.

If you mean Onslaught, the third and fourth team have yet to be announced/or confirmed, so they could be anyone.

To mis-quote one of my favorite Japanese superheroes: SUPERION KITAAAAAA!!!!

Looks excellently well balanced and articulated, wish we could've gotten some knee action there, with the actual joints. And I'm really hoping Silverbolt's elbows are tight for the way that they combine.

Nexus Maximus part deux?

On the other hand, he is woefully out of scale with most Classics figures (the A10 Thunderbolt is a pretty large plane- the Ultra figure was actually fairly well scaled). That said I'd happily pick him up for my Legends collection, as he does look pretty good.

As for Superion himself, he looks pretty neat, although those hands are way too big. The amrs obviously being robot mode legs doesn't bother me though- at the end of the day Superion is a robot made of slightly smaller robots, so it stands to reason that his combined mode wouldn't be a perfect humanoid.

Nexus Prime. Whatever you do, do not Google the Maximus name

Still a less unfortunate name than dear old Spastic.

anyone else think its odd that the pics show him using silverbolts knee joint instead of the combiner port joint?

Just wanted to let you know guys that there are a ton more pictures of the combined form at the source's link (if it wasn't clear in the news post).

Didn't Google it, but I TFwiki'd it. I understand now, much to the violation of my youthful impressionable mind.

Nexus Prime repaints of these guys would actually be neat.

All we'd need are 2 Combaticons and we're all set. Although, Heatwave could be a Hot Spot repaint (a la Heatwave the Firebot) and Topspin is a copter. Landquake is a problem as a tank...

hope they do computron and abominus next.

griftimus prime wrote:hope they do computron and abominus next.

You and me both!

I'm just starting on the IDW comics (I have read RID, MTMTE and IDW volume 1), so I'm going to sound a right moron for asking this, but what combiner teams or members have appeared in them? I know the Constructicons, Aerialbots and Monsterbots are in them, and can conbine, but I don't know if the Stunticons appear in the comics (despite being mentioned in RID) I also was curious to know if any other Combaticons are in them, aside from Swindle, Brawl and Blast Off.

Eh, I think everyone can agree that Nexus Maximus was an unfortunate name choice, but Spastic was only an issue with some Europeans. For Americans and much of the world the word doesn't hold any derogatory meaning. Weird Al even used the word in his recent song "Word Crimes" ("Saw your blog post, It's really fantastic, That was sarcastic (Oh, psych!), 'Cause you write like a spastic") and the Internet didn't blow up.

Since Death of Optimus Prime and the two ongoings started, we've seen Devastator/Prowlestator, Monstructor, Superion (in old configuration, plus introduced to Alpha Bravo and Powerglide). Menasor shows up in mentions, and can be found in the 2009-2011 ongoing (if you have to).

Combaticons as a more or less complete team, though not Bruticus, if I'm not completely off the mark, have only shown up in Primacy, early IDWverse and 2009-2011 Costa run. The latter also had the Predacons, who are still hanging around, though not as a combiner.

Hah! Superion's totally got Elbow Rockets!

His upper thighs and hips look a little on the skin side for me, but overall he looks a decent figure.

Would like to see a size comparison with FOC Bruticus/Ruination.

griftimus prime wrote:hope they do computron and abominus next.

That said I really hope they consider Liokaiser and simply rename him some how.

See, once it's correctly transformed, it looks really good! I'm definitely excited for these.

Kind of funky looking. Hopefully a 3rd party can come and save this guy.

EDIT: the nose of the jet mode is miss-transformed.

This is one of the best looking Powerglide's I have seen in a long time. I am reflecting a lot on the three Ultra class figures that come out several years ago Onslaught, Silverbolt and Powerglide. I think Powerglide is the only one who really compares well to those older incarnations.

Even combiners need chill time.

Anyway, iffy hands and feet aside he looks good. hopefully a 3P or someone like Fakebusker on Shapeways will make some better parts for him.
