Continuing on with the Seibertron galleries of the reveals from New York Comic Con, we bring to you the latest gallery: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force! Combiner Force revolves around Energon-styled 2-bot combiners that include previously seen characters such as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, but also includes some new characters. Also included in Combiner Force are duos where a smaller minicon like figure unlocks the alternate mode of the larger bot, much like Stealth Force but with an extra character. Also thrown in are some new Warriors that include Stormshot, Blastwave, and an IDW colored Drift. You can check out a preview of the gallery below, and you can find the whole gallery HERE

I'm having similar thoughts about Drift and Ratchet. Wonder if it will be possible to change Drift's head though. I'm having similar thoughts about Drift and Ratchet. Wonder if it will be possible to change Drift's head though. Posted by Umbra on October 5th, 2016 @ 9:09pm CDT

Will this be another Combiner Wars Afterburner situation? (For the unknowing when the figure was first shown he had the Groove head instead of the proper Afterburner head the figure actually had)



If the Hasbros were going to release a G1 colored Drift why did they not use the alternate head that was used by Takara?Will this be another Combiner Wars Afterburner situation?

I'm not sure. I'd need to look at my Drift but off the top of my head, I'd say it's not easy.



But even so, having Ratchet and Drift from the same toyline and in the same style will be really cool. I'm not sure.

The other video round-up from the Hasbro preview night at New York Comic Con 2016 focuses on the Transformers: Robots in Disguise - and the Duocon-like Combiner Force sub-line as revealed here and here - featuring the likes of Drift, Stormshot, Bludgeon, Blastwave and the regulars Optimus Prime, Sideswipe, Strongarm and Bumblebee. Check it out embedded below! Posted by Va'al on October 6th, 2016 @ 1:38am CDT

I like the look of that Duocon



Bludgeon is just a retool of Megatronus



& Stealth Force Bee, Sideswipe & Strongarm......why? why use this gimmick again that was already used before with the Bayformer toyline(& i don't think that it was well received back then either). Posted by Stuartmaximus on October 6th, 2016 @ 1:54am CDT

Honestly not a fan of a single one of these (that's fine if you do - not saying they're bad, just not something I'm into) but I'm not complaining, because I do want almost everything from Titans Return. This is just a sigh of relief for my bank account for now. Posted by Autobot Roadburn on October 6th, 2016 @ 2:11am CDT

Agreed there. At least the combined robot mode is pretty cool Agreed there. At least the combined robot mode is pretty cool



That would be the one I get out of all of the combiner force guys, he looks really good. Reminds me of Star Sabre. That would be the one I get out of all of the combiner force guys, he looks really good. Reminds me of Star Sabre.



In the video when the jet legs are combined with the prime torso I got an Armada Jet Prime vibe.



Wondering if there's a boj to combine all 6 ala Landcross..... In the video when the jet legs are combined with the prime torso I got an Armada Jet Prime vibe.Wondering if there's a boj to combine all 6 ala Landcross..... Posted by ThunderThruster on October 6th, 2016 @ 6:32am CDT

You may have already heard that Clampdown is being classified as a Legion, while Springload is a One-Step. That being said, I'm curious to know if these guys will eventually show up at this year's NYCC in their Warrior forms? Will we finally get to see the Con's that we've finally been dying for since 2015 in all Legion, One-Step, and Warrior classes altogether? I'm currently referring to the Cons in Season 1 and 2. What will Hasbro tell us about Seasons 3 and 4? Posted by psj333 on October 6th, 2016 @ 8:00am CDT

It's very likely we won't be seeing warrior molds of either of these guys. Sorry psj, it's based on popularity with kids and Autobots always win in that arena, or at least the executives and designers think so.



I gotta say, I'm really loving Stormshot. I don't know why, but I really want him.

They totally combined Optimus with Strongarm just so they could put Strongarm's forehead crest on Optimus's helmet just so they could do a Star Convoy homage, didn't they. Posted by Sabrblade on October 6th, 2016 @ 11:24am CDT

Hasbro's been all over that guy recently. It's not a bad thing, but it is mighty confusing. Hasbro's been all over that guy recently. It's not a bad thing, but it is mighty confusing. Posted by Kurona on October 6th, 2016 @ 11:26am CDT
