It seems he's not directing. Possibly. I only care about the toys honestly, it's not like he's the one who designs the robots.

The amazon date is the saturation date. That is the date Hasbro gives to retailers that denotes "We think this will be common in the retail channel by this point". I'm pretty sure Wave 3 is like 3-4 weeks out.The Taint Reaper posted:oh they're not going to be TRU exclusives? Are they Amazon or something because the last I heard they're going to be a TRU exclusive. If they're an exclusive then I'm baffled as to how Automaton can have them up for preorder http://www.automatontoys.com/hasbro-combiner-wars-2015-deluxe-quickslinger/ That's some small Canadian store that operates out of Quebec. I mean maybe the rumor is wrong but I have no idea how Automaton could do preorders if they're going to buy them for $22 CDN at TRUs or something.

It must pay pretty decent, the other night I watched the dude who runs it buy almost $800,000 worth of house in Vancouver. http://www.hgtv.com/shows/property-brothers/property-brothers-full-episodes-videos and click on Kari and Boris. I can't watch it online, I think I might be geoblocked, which is hilarious considering the program is Canadian.

Vortex and prowl have been leaked by accident. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/possible-combiner-wars-vortex-and-prowl-revealed-182533/ But that may not be Prowl it could also be Ratchet which means if it is Ratchet he's either going to be an extra guy for White Optimus(which means another limb for Galvatronus) or there's going to be another combiner that uses regular autobot guys. but if it's prowl and he's a truck this ruins the Streetwise, Wildrider, and Dead End combiner if there's no 4th car using that mold. Vortex might not be Alpha Bravo but a similar looking Helicopter because those are arm thingies sticking off his side and not safety missiles and are not even the same mechanism that alpha bravo uses for his arms. It Could be a elaborate sandstorm type retool but there's not detail enough to tell. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Apr 23, 2015 |

That deffo looks like a heavy-ish retool/reshell of the Alpha Bravo core construction, akin to the First Aid/Offroad relationship. And the "truck" is deffo a head-swap retool of First Aid into Ratchet.

Yay, Vortex is remolded! Or a very early design as some have pointed out. Wait is Prowl a truck in the latest IDW issues? Because I thought that was Ratchet. Coincidentally I always think Keldroc's avatar is Ratchet so I have a Pratchet problem.

I think Vortex is either a new mold or a seriously extensive remold. Look at the copter tail, it has a seam and hinges visible that make it look like it splits in half. Or it could just be a really preliminary design image. And if Prowl is using the Offroad/First-Aid mold then I wonder what mold is Ironhide going to use? Unless they're going to make both Ratchet and Ironhide out that mold and that's Ratchet, but that seems like overkill. I'd still buy it of course.

Questions have apparently come up because people want hasbro to address the backwards knees that plague all combiner forms in combiner wars, that it's incredibly unacceptable to allow this to happen when Third Parties can apparently do it right. This needs to be done right now before entirely new combiner wars molds show up and they can't retool the first few waves. They're putting the figures on backwards instead of the way the instructions picture them so they resemble the G1 toy

Some people are saying it's possibly just an early unused design. There's stuff like that in the design sketch pages included in the other comics.

I guess he had to, at least I hope he didn't swap and return the other. Speaking of handfeet I've been wondering why more third parties haven't jumped in the "more poseable handfeet for CW" bandwagon. They're letting PE have the whole cake, but then again PE are pretty good at this upgrade kit business.

I'd gladly pay half the PE price for feet that didn't transform, to be honest. Just big, 3D-printed booties.

Just sell me a decently priced kit of a set of hands and feet, maybe with some option parts, on a sprue or two so I have an option that doesn't cost more than the torso did and isn't a unnecessarily parts forming feature creepazoid or crumbly rear end grain garbage printer puke

Actually I love how the PE hands transform into lil' guns but the chaingunfeet do nothing for me. I'd rather just have them set aside like I do with the current handfeet. edit: here's the Protectobot extended bios if you wanna read them.

Those wretched Slammothists actually complain about this because "it's an obvious feminine name, now it's gonna be a cliched girly girlbot!". I think it's just based on the word Victory, like, is Victory Saber a feminine name? The answer of course is who gives a poo poo.

If I called a woman a Slammoth I'm pretty sure she would be offended. "Hey there. You're not fat. You're not a Slammoth." "....why are you saying I'm not fat?" "Because you're not." "So what you're saying is I'm fat." "No, you're not! Totally not a Slammoth." "gently caress off"

Sorry Gamma but anyone is going to take a look at you and go 'Is that a Pokemon?' You just have that 'I want to be the very best' and/or 'catch them all' look to you. I am going to cry if RID Windblade is a better robot than Generations Windblade. As I buy it. Because I will buy all of the Windblades.

drat, Hot Spot's torso transformation is pretty drat neat. Like Silverbolt neat. I actually like how the combiner head works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7J4-u9ZUQE Also it looks like Groove actually tabs into place to avoid just falling out. And if you REALLY NEED motorcycle knee well there's an option for you, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLZZoSqUUU4
