A pretty cool photo was posted on Daim Choc's facebook page just an hour ago. It shows Combiner Wars Brawl in package. This would be the US packaging since a comic book is included, rather than the card. This toy is notable for being the first fully new mold for 2016's continuation of the Combiner Wars line. This would be the best indication of the finished deco we will be getting since this is the first time we see the figure in its finished state rather than a painted prototype or a digital stock image. However, this is still simply a production sample and a slight change in deco is still possible before mass production.

The facebook post states:

First look at Combiner Wars Deluxe Brawl in package. Thanks to T3.
Note: Production Sample.

The angle of the photo probably doesn't help either.

It's really, stupidly, hit-or-miss; for instance, my local stores are sitting with empty pegs, have so for months; but my target just recently (like 4 weeks ago) had a mirage sitting on the shelf, and them they sat empty for 3 weeks and then last week several cases of wave 4 were sitting there, so I finished the set. They also had their first shipment of wave 3 voyagers and their first leader class in UM.

My advice would be to check out the sightings thread for the state you'll be in, and maybe contact a member on here that lives near there and request help.


Thanks, I'll do that! Was just weighing up the cost (literally) of paying out more for UK-based sellers (in this case, Masterforce) against the cheaper dollar. The risk of missing out entirely may be enough to take the hit on paying out more... :-?

If logistically possible, you could order it online and have it shipped to where you are staying. I actually considered this when I visited Canada last month, but TRU CA's shipping estimate was too wide.

Posted by Carnivius_Prime on September 23rd, 2015 @ 4:24pm CDT
Hm, I may have to get this one even just for sentimentality. G1 Brawl was the first combiner figure I ever had and I remember the day I got it (was a late birthday present) and then over the next couple months I managed to get the other Combaticons and formed Bruticus. Combiners don't really appeal to me these days and Combiner Wars has become mostly a joke with the constant recycling, some of which don't make much sense at all so it's real nice to see my first childhood combiner figure get a new mold. Whether or not I'll buy the others in the team depends on how well they turn out but yeah I think I'd like to get Brawl (even just to stand with my RotF Bludgeon as 'tank mates'. :P

Aw, yeah... gotta git me summa THAT. The Combaticons were always some of my faves from G1.

I wish I'd have known they were going to do these before I spent a year saving up for and buying Warbotron....

I thought Brawl was a remold of Rook. I guess Swindle is. Am I mis-remembering, and Brawl is a new mold?

Practically the only place they've been found is at Target, so focus any stateside search efforts there if you can. I haven't seen Wave 4 anywhere else, and looking over the sightings list, it's target, target, target, straight down the line. One would think that wave4 was a target exclusive or something...

There are still a few Protectobot deluxes on the shelf at our local Walmart...

I recall something about that too, but my gut tells me it was purely speculation. I think he's new. And I also think we will see a re-tool of him with a great big drill bit hanging off the front. If you know what I mean. ;)

Some speculation here was that Brawl would be a Rook retool, but Swindle is the retool and Brawl is brand new :BOT:

Bruticus is going to be my last complete combiner. I will get Sky Lynx and a few of the other main bodies, but no limbs unless they are a new mold.

I say this knowing full well that it is a lie because HasTak will probably make the Predacons or Monstructor or Abominus and I will NEED to have those.

But Brawl looks really good. The chest looks weird due to the angle of the shot. Because of him, Onslaught, and Swindle, I am okay with the fact that the other two Combaticons are a recipe and a head swap compared to my existing stuff. Shockwave is cool, but he is probably going to Megatron and Bombshell(with a very Combaticon name!) will be going to Bruticus.

Besides, they've stuck to the G1 colors with the other CW figures, and this is what color G1 Brawl is.

I wonder if they will keep Predaking the same size as the other CW figures, or if they will make him larger like in G1.
Shockwave is cool, but he is probably going to Megatron and Bombshell(with a very Combaticon name!) will be going to Bruticus.
Same what I did. I'm putting Shockwave on my Shockwave shelf, and putting Bombshell with either the Combaticons or Galvatronus. Does Bombshell have a 3rd weapon mode, like Powerglide?

Yes he does. You angle his arms forward so they become cannon barrels and fold down one of the 5mm handles on back end to form a handle.

Yup, Brawl is an all-new mold, and the only new one of the bunch, as Swindle and Onslaught are retools, while Blast Off and Vortex are straight redecos (Seriously? Quickslinger for Blast Off?).

Well for one thing, his knuckles are part of the tread (I can virtually guarantee they won't be painted) so they have to be the height of the tread, so there's that.

As for his thighs, we haven't seen the arm mode, so, since his is an unorthodox transformation, many choices had to be made to get his arm mode to have approximately symmetrical elbows, but can also condense into a predefined height for the leg mode, all while looking G1 accurate and having a nice looking robot and tank mode, so it actually becomes very complicated when you think about it.

I have no problem with it, and he will probably be combined most of the time, so even if I did, it would be a non-issue >:oP

Same on the combined mode part, but its still something I noticed that just looks a bit off. Like Rook is a little bit short in the arms, but it's not terribly noticeable to me. This is just a bit different.

Funny Thing: Since i got them, the protectobots have switched pretty equally between Defensor, vehicle and robot modes. They are great the whole way round :D :BOT:

Yeah, they're pretty great, I just love hotspot's alt mode, much the same way I love magnus' alt mode. If my streetwise weren't made of 2 different shades of plastic, he'd be out here too; but now I have Prowl 8-)

And, yeah, I was simply pointing out that, engineering wise, the standard (aerialbots) design yields nice, standard figures, but once you stray away from it, things start to get a little iffy, just look at breakdown.

But I just love rook and first aid as limbs, they make for really bulky arms and first-aid makes the best leg, it's so sleek 8-)

Same on the combined mode part, but its still something I noticed that just looks a bit off. Like Rook is a little bit short in the arms, but it's not terribly noticeable to me. This is just a bit different.

Funny Thing: Since i got them, the protectobots have switched pretty equally between Defensor, vehicle and robot modes. They are great the whole way round :D :BOT:


Yeah, they're pretty great, I just love hotspot's alt mode, much the same way I love magnus' alt mode. If my streetwise weren't made of 2 different shades of plastic, he'd be out here too; but now I have Prowl 8-)

And, yeah, I was simply pointing out that, engineering wise, the standard (aerialbots) design yields nice, standard figures, but once you stray away from it, things start to get a little iffy, just look at breakdown.

But I just love rook and first aid as limbs, they make for really bulky arms and first-aid makes the best leg, it's so sleek 8-)

Rook is magnificent and the real winner of the wave. First Aid just screams MTMTE which is awesome. Streetwise has an amazing headsculpt and Hot Spot is pretty spot on too. Love the torso mode. Blades and Groove are pretty cool in their own ways too (head and overall design respectively) :BOT:

I noticed he had very short forearms :BOT:

...yeah that too. He's a bit weird proportion-wise, but HEY, at least he's a new mold right?


Well for one thing, his knuckles are part of the tread (I can virtually guarantee they won't be painted) so they have to be the height of the tread, so there's that.

As for his thighs, we haven't seen the arm mode, so, since his is an unorthodox transformation, many choices had to be made to get his arm mode to have approximately symmetrical elbows, but can also condense into a predefined height for the leg mode, all while looking G1 accurate and having a nice looking robot and tank mode, so it actually becomes very complicated when you think about it.

I have no problem with it, and he will probably be combined most of the time, so even if I did, it would be a non-issue >:oP

Does this mean there are Brawls to be bought somewhere out there?

I think he's gonna make a much better leg than arm.
