Maybe it's a powered up version of Optimus, like those Powerlinx redecos from Armada.RiddlerJ wrote:I don't understand the white Optimus repaint. It's not meant to be Ultra Magnus, and we already have the regular Prime to go with the four Autobot limbs which will be in their usual colors. I can see reusing the mold but it seems a shame to not use it for a different character as opposed to another Prime.

Even found Megatron and Armada Megatron but left them because the packaging was damaged badly... (Probably on purpose.. As it was slashed like someone used a knife...)
Port stuff seems to be resolved from reading online, and shelves are starting to get full again. (Just in time for all the movies coming out..)
I am wondering if this is going to hurt this line a lot because of how far retailers are behind on these waves. In the end these guys I could see on the clearance shelves because everyone couldn't wait for them to appear in stores...
Not sure if anyone else has asked Hasbro Toy Store before when they re-stock or asking for dates, but I did... I got a bit of a run around answer. (Which I find incorrect as I have gotten dates before and soon after receiving an item they restocked everything..)
We apologize but we don’t have ETA dates on our out of stock items. We also don't have a waiting list. As long as the item is listed on our website as out of stock, we still plan on getting more stock in. If you can no longer pull up the item on our site, it may be discontinued. Please check our website as often as you can to check for stock to appear.
Stock can replenish at any time of the day and sporadically throughout the month. To verify if an item is discontinued, please call Customer Care.

Thanks Va'al. I wasn't getting updates until I unsubscribed and resubscribed.
On topic, I got Motormaster last week and I much prefer that deco to OP. With recent comments about Hasbro wanting OP on the shelves with 1986 character Classics, it makes sense to have him out first in CW.

I like the Henkei version of Ironhide better. I made a sweet custom shoulder launcher for classics Mirage from a RTS Tracks Missile, so I won't be getting CW Mirage either. I'm looking forward to CW Streaker because the Universe version is too big and doofy.ZeroWolf wrote:Only streaker? No love for mirage or ironhide?

ZeroWolf wrote:1984forever@ fair enough, guess your not going for the masquerade prime combiner then?
Nah. I'm too much of a purist to own that masquerading monstrosity they're calling Optimus Maximus. Sunstreaker will stand alone. The only combiner I'm getting is Devastator. Maybe Menasor if Takara puts a Wildrider in their set.

You do realize CW Suntreaker may not look like his G1 self right? Everything points to him being a retool of CW Breakdown:

Theres always potential for more repaints...
More than meets the eye?

Well, Hasbro hasn't forgotten that biographies are a necessary and longstanding component of the Transformers universe and wave 2 is no exception. Hasbro's newest Combiner Wars releases have included new extended bios for the current wave of figures, such as Air Raid, Breakdown, Dead End and Offroad.
With Seibertron's assistance we now have full scans of the packaging bios for you to enjoy, below:
Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Robotmel; that nova prime...i can totally see that happening, but who would his limbs be?
Also is the second picture supposed to be?

So do we know, are these printed on the cards, or front and back covers of the comics?
One thing that has always bummed me out over the years is that the illustrators how do all this great package art get no credit. These are really nice paintings, I'd like to know who made them. They should be at least allowed to sign the art.

I want to say they are on the cards. It would be logical but I dont know if cards come with them. could be back of the comic.

I was thinking the actual blister cards, not the collector cards. I think if they come with comics, they dont come with collector cards.Optimizzy wrote:Cobotron wrote:Those bios are great. especially Off Road's.

Interesting though, I found Huffer and Blackjack yesterday and they DID come with cards. It's nice that since the Legends can't come with comics, they still get some art.

I think they may be on the back of the comic, as the image before each bio is the cover for the pack in comics provided.

The cardback would have to advertise the Combining gimmick, as well as display other types of information (like copyrights and addresses). This is most definitely from the comics.

Sorry, I was thinking the little collector card. If these dont come with a card then it has to be the comic.
EDIT: yeah looking at it, its definatly the comic and there are no cards. I should look more carefully.
I liked the cards though. I was hoping to still get them with the comic.
oh well.

The first wave of deluxes only came with the cards because they were in fact the international release of the figure sold domestically due to time constraints. From wave two on, all deluxes will have comics, and the legends, voyagers and leader class figures will instead have the cards. Any deluxes released outside of the U.S by hasbro, including Canadian retail should have cards as well.

OR) Hey fellow newbie, my team still dosn't like me, they want the old guy back, they keep going on that he's been seen somewhere far away, and that there are signs he could show up here again...
AB) Could be worse, at least you aren't a helicopter.
FULL DISCLAIMER:
I love both these guys, can't wait until Offroad is available here.
