Via TAG Hobby reporting from a Hong Kong toy show, we have a nice series of images of the latest wave of Hasbro Transformers Generations Combiner Wars figures, in and out of packaging. Specifically, we get to look at all five components of the IDW comics accurate Optimus Maximus, with Battle Core Optimus at its centre, and Prowl, Sunstreaker, Ironhide and Mirage as its limbs, and their combined form, sporting silver feet and hands - check a selection out below, and head here for the full works!

Looks good, need to parts swap some from red Prime and forgo Roddy to get comic accurate. Posted by razingstorm on July 17th, 2015 @ 5:24am CDT

I still haven't decided on whether or not I'll be getting wave four. Posted by Robogeek1973 on July 17th, 2015 @ 5:55am CDT

The molds just dont work for those characters. Prowl looks ok but the other 3 are hideous. The fact that these repaints even appear in a comic to justify their existance is Hasbro really scraping the crud off the bottom of the barrel. I think they should have just stuck to Victorion and the G2 repaints. These lazy repaints are more of an insult to the characters rather than a homage. If they wanted to reissue the characters they should have dusted off the original classics molds and given the US more cartoon accurate decos than the first time around. They could just slap the "Combiner Wars" monkier on the packages like they did with Armada Megatron, Huffer, and other figures shoehorned into the line. That would have been so much better than giving the characters a downgrade. Posted by Rated X on July 17th, 2015 @ 6:29am CDT

Looking good! Out of all five, the one I like the least is Prowl, but that's only because I've never been a huge fan of the Dead End mold's "feet". Posted by Autobot N on July 17th, 2015 @ 7:09am CDT

After looking at the pix the only ones I may pick up are Prowl and Mirage.. It will be determined when I see them in person. Posted by Cyber Bishop on July 17th, 2015 @ 7:28am CDT

Poor rodimus, to be comic accurate you don't need to bother with him, and if that's not what you want...well he doesn't seem to add much to the combined mode Posted by ZeroWolf on July 17th, 2015 @ 7:34am CDT

I'm pretty excited for these limb bots.



I wonder why Mirage has 62 instead of 26 as his number? Bucking any copy right infringement? Posted by Cobotron on July 17th, 2015 @ 7:42am CDT

If I were to get that Prime, I'd count him as Nova instead of Optimus. Posted by Noideaforaname on July 17th, 2015 @ 7:43am CDT

think he'll look much better with blackjack than rodimus. iron hide looks way too much like the other uses of his mold. prowl looks way too much like streetwise. sunstreaker could be better but is ok because we never see a sunstreaker. mirage looks good, especially because we never see a mirage. the unofficial transformation with car front on his chest will look even better. prime looks nice in robot mode and better than red prime in torso mode. still not great but better at least. i like the robot mode head a lot better than the combined mode head. love the gold eye brows. maybe i'll use robot mode head for combined mode. love the silver weapons and hands. all in all this blows victorion and betatron out of the water.

Sorry, but I really don't see why this exists, and using the Optimus/Motormaster mold with those floppy hips for the third time is beyond me. No matter what fixes I've found to try on Menasor, the only leg pose I can get out of him without collapsing is standing up straight. I fully expect this offering will be the same way.

The only one I want is Prowl. He looks great. The rest look cool enough, but I just don't have the space or cash for another combiner.



I don't get why they made two Combiner Wars Optimus Prime figures. I'm sure people will say $, but it just seems odd to me. I do like this redeco, though. Pretty cool looking. Posted by Marcdachamp on July 17th, 2015 @ 8:59am CDT

Pretty much this. Menasor looks great, but he's structurally flawed. And that's a big, floppy shame. I see no reason to get this mold a third time. Not even his sweet headcrest can persuade me.

I like that Mirage, and it's based on a quality mold, so I'll snag him. The rest are an easy pass. I already have three Dead Ends molds and two Offroads, and I hate the Breakdown mold. Posted by MrBlack on July 17th, 2015 @ 9:02am CDT

He has sharp colors, the vehicle mode is really nice, and there aren't many (if any) small Rodimus figures out there. The only problem is the ax can't be attached to his back in robot mode, unless you mod the figure. A great addition to a Rodimus collection. Then again, I may be a bit biased.

Not being able to attach that axe/spoiler thing is just stupid on Hasbro/Takara's behalf. They had all the ingredients and yet they made no apple pie.

you can also use the transparent rubber band he comes with to hold it on his back Posted by peaces on July 17th, 2015 @ 9:16am CDT
