New Official Images of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars

It's a shame they didn't put a port or something so that you could attach Armada Megatron's cannon to his side and make him more accurate.

Menasor still looks weird.

in the new deluxe batch, dead end is probably my favorite. and i am feeling MUCH better about the megatron now. the G1 one anyways, armada megs is lookin a little plain jane if you ask me.

Wow I dont think there is any saving menasor. Perfect Effect managed to save Superion but I dont expect them to pull rabbits out of their ass with menasor. That megatron looks horrible. The armada version looks better but the scale throws me off a bit. I might pick him up on clearance.

Drag Strip is my favorite, personally. It's all in that vicious head sculpt.

Agree with you on Armada Megatron - but he's primed for a 3rd party to swoop in and give him a killer add-on kit with swing around cannon, and maybe even a nice dagger per the original toy. That's my hope, anyway...

Yeah Menasors pretty awful, the proportions are all over the place! Cannot understand how they can get Superion so right and Menasor so wrong. Still money saved for Devy. Not feeling Megs at all, too big for a start. Really is a mixed bag this line.

Didn't realize until now that that Armada Megatron has solid orange horns. Yuk.

I get the feeling that I might have liked that figure more if it had just been a straight redeco instead of a simple remold; a version of G1 Megatron colored as a homage to Armada Megatron, instead of actually trying to be Armada Megatron.

Being honest, I'm not really excited about the leader Megatron. I mean, it looks awesome, but if it were Voyager size I would like it better. As a Leader Class figure I don't like it as much. However, the Leader Class Armada Megatron interests me, and I will probably grab that over the G1 Tank Megatron.

I don't like the way those Megatrons look at all. They looked really good in older images, but what doesn't look better in prelim/mocked photos?

Menasor looks okay to me, but I'd need better pics to really judge.

It's a sad state where I get more excited about a Legends-class (Blackout) than a Leader-class

The individual Stunticons look great (especially Dead End) but Menasor combined looks odd.

What I'd like to see someone like Perfect Effect do is an add-on kit that works as a trailer for Motormaster, becomes a "repair bay" when he's in robot mode (ala the vintage toy) and splits apart into add-ons for the combined mode that bulks him up and improves his proportions (and gives him better hands and feet).

The G1 Megs works, but the Armada version...eh. I'd rather a 3P company came out and gave us a kit to give the original toy better leg articulation.All you'd need to do is replace his hips and thighs. I suppose they could make him replacement feet but they'd need to find a way to let the buyer remove the pins.

Eh... I feel both Megatrons lost out by sharing the same mold. More so than Motormaster/Prime.
I don't see what's wrong with Menasor (yet), besides Wildrider being replaced by a truck named Offroad and the Menasor horns.

Completely agree. Can't stand the bulky wide chest with a car stuck bang in the middle of it. Looks bloody stupid. His head sculpt is awful too. The more I look at it the more I'm put off until a Third Party can attempt to salvage it. Also, when I was thinking about getting him I was planning to have Dead End and Breakdown the other way around, how they should be. It looks like you can do this with Breakdown, but Dead End has this bit of kibble that looks like it'll obstruct that. Badly designed if that's the case.

Individually they don't look bad, but Menasor is a bit of a car crash.

Without mini-con capture claws, or a shiv concealed in his hand, that Armada Megatron does nothing for me, the G1 Megs still looks stiff and undynamic, but I don't understand everyone's problems with Mentor. Individually yhe Stunticons all look great, and I see no glaring issues with the combined mode. Am I missing something?

So lets see

Motor Master - Sword
Dragstrip - Sword
Breakdown - Sword
Offroad - Axe
Deadend - Exhaust Pipe

Maybe it's because he's a such a Pessimist he knows a sword won't work on the Autobots anyway so he's not even trying to fight.

I actually kind of like Menasor. He's not perfect but I still quite like him. I will wait for in hand pics of the Megatrons.

I wish the chest vehicles could transform in a way where the legs come up the sides of the hood to make a more uniform look similarly to Thundercracker. Just looks off. Otherwise, I still like the concept and am hoping for some Abominus, Dinoking/Monstructor, Piranacon, and/or Predaking love.

I always saw the Stunticons as brutish thugs. An exhaust pipe is pretty fitting, as far as bludgeoning objects go.

thats actually a reallt good idea! not sure if i personally care to upgrade hasbros menasor though, since i have FP's (but i do plan to still get hasbros).

Oh no! I had not noticed those wheels ending up behind Megatron's head before. This really hurts the design.

Am I the only one who thinks Blackjack's axe would work better as Menasor's sword hilt? I keep thinking it's supposed to work like that, but every pic has the axe as this (to me) awkward chest shield.

All these guys look pretty awesome

Haven all of wave two on order from RK, just waiting on someone sellin G1 Megs on his own. I wonder if his treads can move up behind the head for an IDW pose the way the aw Armada version works...

I am still not over this, Hasbro really tried to pull a fast one on me.

No back pack wheels here:



Totally not the case here:



Sneaky sneaky

The treads on the back are probably meant to be lowered for Megatron and raised for Armada Megatron.

i was also thinking that. i thinking its "optional kibble".

Not to mention "functional kibble" (as in working tread in tank mode).

If you look at both pictures of Megatron, you'll see they're in exactly the same pose.

Did they just take a photo of one and photoshop the other?

-edit-

Okay slight difference, but geez ... not much.

The robot scale for this line is all over the shop. Making Megatron a leader class figure and not a voyager was idiotic IMO. Assuming he's about the same size as Generations Leader Jetfire, he isn't going to scale well with Prime at all, however the problem is then reversed once Prime combines to his 'Ultra Prime' mode.

Does Megs have the ability to combine with the deluxes like Prime?

What's wrong with Megatron being bigger than Optimus? Wouldn't he generally like being bigger than Optimus? He is the bad guy, after all. He's not one known for playing fair.

Huh, just like the original Armada Megatron and Armada Optimus toys.

HA! That works so well for Armada Megatron then!

And I was always under the impression that Megs was bigger. Maybe not THAT much bigger (ala animated TF) but still bigger and more powerful.

They're trying so hard to make Megatron's legs look not skinny. Look at that moonwalking pose. If the G1 Megatron has that nice of a color scheme I might snatch him up though

They look like they fold down and tuck in!

What does scale mean when it comes to Transformers anyway? If Megatron can become the size of a human held pistol and also stand toe-to-toe with something the size of a semi I don't know why he can't be a little bigger.

Now THAT...looks like a grea way to play with Transformers.

This is a G1-style Megatron. Since when is that Megatron bigger than Prime by the same margin a leader bot is bigger than a voyager?

I'll get Armada Megatron for sure, though I hate how inaccurate he is. I would have much preferred a voyager/deluxe Megatron to scale with most existing Armada figures (namely the amazing figure that is deluxe Armada Optimus), especially since they just released a deluxe Armada screamer.

I agree 100%! I really hope there's someway to merge that ax with the sword and hopefully the other melee weapons to make a super sword of sorts.

It's very possible the figure isn't transformed correctly. Not the first time that's happened in the Transformers or any other line!

After arriving in stock on Amazon.com, it appears that the Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Deluxes - affectionately known as The Limbs - have also shown up on Toys'R'Us.com, and are available for home delivery with a handy free shipping over $49.99! Go get yourselves some Aerialbots and a Stunticon.

Much like the previous sketches for Alpha Bravo and Firefly, the official Transformers Facebook page has shared a process card for Skydive - check it out mirrored below!

Silverbolt and Prime are in stock right now as well. I want to order them but I refuse to pay more than suggested retail. Honestily I feel suggested retail is a bit much anymore.

Do this or else big bad Hasbro won't green light future projects.

What does the rile with the arrow circling away signify? is it supposed to be some form of transforming weaponry which never came to fruition?

I agree. But I'm not paying extra. The clearance junkies are the problem.

Bigger pic for ya:

I got the first wave of Deluxes yesterday, and they are pretty nice. The vehicle modes are pretty simple looking, but they're big and fairly chunky, which is a nice change from the smaller Deluxe toys we've been getting the last few years. They feel pretty solid, although the legs are pretty thin. They look nice, they look fairly stocky, but they still feel real thin and cheap. The hand pieces are going to look nice in gestalt mode, but the feet are unbelievably stupid and tiny.
Drag Strip is nice, but that HTS Drag Strip Mirage repaint is far and away a better stand alone Drag Strip.

I like them, but I got them at Target for $12 each. There is no chance in the world they are worth $17 from TRU.

I just like the darker purple of the Classics Dragstrip figure better. Plus he's more poseable. Either way, I'm excited about Combiner Wars.

Here is an interesting picture I found online that compares the scale of the different combiner war figures:
