They have also provided in hand images, let us know if you spot any differences with the Takara Groove (pictured at the end).



Also to those wondering if this will be available as an online exclusive in the US like Quickslinger and Brake-neck, BBTS has sent us the following comment:



Waiting to hear back from Hasbro on this, we hope to carry, but nothing confirmed



























Fellow Seibertronians Hinesika and Gavinfuzzy have gotten their newly available Hasbro Combiner Wars Deluxe Groove in stores and posted pics on our boards. We can see from the back of the box that it is issued/marketted as part of the SkyReign wave, (taking Smokescreen's spot).They have also provided in hand images, let us know if you spot any differences with the Takara Groove (pictured at the end).Also to those wondering if this will be available as an online exclusive in the US like Quickslinger and Brake-neck, BBTS has sent us the following comment: Credit(s): Hinesika and Gavinfuzzy

Yeah right. Groove is as long standing a member of the "Sky Reign" team as Rook is a Protectobot.

I'm so glad I got a preorder in on this so I can have a G1ish Defensor. Yeah right. Groove is as long standing a member of the "Sky Reign" team as Rook is a Protectobot.I'm so glad I got a preorder in on this so I can have a G1ish Defensor. Posted by Dagon on March 26th, 2016 @ 8:53am CDT

I think I might get Groove to replace Smokescreen. I will leave Legends Groove on Defensor, and rename deluxe Groove to something else. That way I can have best of both worlds. I am tired of the Wildfires/Streetwise mold. Posted by Crosscheck on March 26th, 2016 @ 9:42am CDT

I'm glad we agree that Rook is a very integral part of the Protectobots. Enjoy your Groovy Sky Reign.



But in all seriousness, they're pretty obviously marketing him that way because those are the toys (supposedly) on shelves right now. The same reason Dragstrip was part of Superion. We know where he really belongs and Hasbro isn't trying to sweep that under the rug. I'm glad we agree that Rook is a very integral part of the Protectobots.

It is so weird that he has Blades' gun and not Rook's. Posted by Targetmaster Kup on March 26th, 2016 @ 10:11am CDT

Not really. Hasbro is using the exact same deco and molding from takaras groove. That hand was no doubt part of his mold kit. Accessories are part of the figures entire molding. Hence why hinges on some hands were colored like parts of the characters. That's why quickslinger and brakeneck came with firefly and deadends hands/feet piece and not alpha bravo and off-roads respectively. Not really.

So this is not terribly surprising. Unite Warriors Defensor had the Alpha Bladetex HFG for both feet, and the Offroad/First Aid HFG for both hands.So this is not terribly surprising. Posted by King Kuuga on March 26th, 2016 @ 12:36pm CDT

They should really do one more round of repaints just to finish off all the first year Autobots. For completeness.

That's exactly what's needed, another round of autobots.



How about a movie themed decepticon combiner:

Megatron using Onslaught

Barricade using Prowl

Blackout using Alpha Bravo

Starscream using Air Raid or Sky Dive

Soundwave using Powerglide

I like Deluxe Groove, but not enough to pay $22 plus shipping. I didn't jump at Wildrider or Slingshot, so I probably won't go for this (although it is a new mold...). Crossing my fingers for a G2 Defensor set somewhere down the line...

$22 is a bit much, especially given how this isn't the only way to get this mold now that Computron is coming. I still want him to use instead of Smokescreen. I would be okay if they painted him like Override though. $22 is a bit much, especially given how this isn't the only way to get this mold now that Computron is coming.

Wow, I was gonna reply to riddler with a simple "No ", but man you took it to another level. Fans seem to hate the movies and retools. And now you are suggesting releasing these molds yet again for movie themed toys. Would not be the most popular wave, I can tell you that.
