Superion (first teased at BotCon last month) and Menasor ! These combiners, part of next year's Generations: Combiner Wars series, are prototypes and show display pieces, hence the hot glue on spots and some wibbly bits and pieces here and there.



As many have guessed, Menasor's central figure is indeed a Motormaster redeco of the Generations Voyager Optimus Prime (also first revealed at BotCon) figure! Also worth noting is that Superion and Menasor are joined by additional characters which are not actually a part of the traditional Aerialbot and Stunticon teams... Superion wields Legends Powerglide as a weapon, and Menasor uses an as-of-yet revealed Legends buddy to form Menasor's traditional car-torso-shield!

At least this time they used a larger figure for the center torso. They're better proportioned now. Posted by Cobalt Prime on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:12pm CDT

I like Superion. I think I'm ready to retire FansProject's Superion in favour of this.



I do not like Menasor. I will keep FP's.



I'm curious to see the rest of the reveals... under an hour to go. Posted by Mkall on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:14pm CDT

These two are a step in the right direction, but not characters I particularly care about so I'll be passing on them.



I quite like the idea of Legends figures lending some support. Posted by Noideaforaname on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:14pm CDT

I really like them both, but where in the name of Unicron is my Devastator with Prowl as the head??? Posted by Marcdachamp on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:18pm CDT

Superion's legs look hella silly though



Time to put my negative nancy hat on-I'm super miffed Motormaster is a prime re-paint! MM should be his own bot. Proper miffed and cheesed off now

.....



Wait...does that mean Prime can combine with things? Does that mean if I make a Thunderclash from Prime...he could combine with things....?



Miffed status alleviating slightly... Not bad. It'll be interesting to see how they look transformed properly, especially Superion's arms...are they that long or can they be configured better?Superion's legs look hella silly thoughTime to put my negative nancy hat on-I'm super miffed Motormaster is a prime re-paint!MM should be his own bot.

It doesn't look like Motormaster is a redeco of the Generations Voyager Optimus Prime - the hinges and configurations are all wrong - but I could be wrong.



Menasor's blue chest gun looks a lot like G1 Skyhammer's gun, though... Posted by Super Megatron on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:19pm CDT

I will buy everything!=D Agreed with Mkall though Superion is more awesome of the two Posted by mooncake623 on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:19pm CDT

Want to see what they look like as individuals. They don't look that bad combined but I'm not real interested in either one.



(Also secretly hoping this leads to a Predaking down the line. I'll buy the crap out of an affordable Predaking.) Posted by Twitchythe3rd on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:21pm CDT

If Generations Prime was designed to later become a combiner...



... that raises some questions in my mind about Generations Chromia... Posted by Dr. Caelus on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:21pm CDT

Had to borrow from the competition to prove this. It pains me to do this act.



Here it is, proof from General Tekno via TFW2005.

You know I think primes a pretool, and motormaster actually came first in the design process. Posted by SW's SilverHammer on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:27pm CDT

Makes sense and it only reinforces the fact that Optimus will be forever tied to his rival.



I'm not that miffed about as I have Henkei Convoy already and thus have a separate entity from Motorbreath. Remember, AoE Evoution 2-pack for those that don't



And I'm predicting 4 teams, given that Hasbro has said there will be 16 Deluxes in all.

As unlikely as it is, Ima roll a hard six, and bet on monstructor. As unlikely as it is, Ima roll a hard six, and bet on monstructor. Posted by SW's SilverHammer on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:42pm CDT

Why is this happening? What did we do to deserve this?

We are not worthy! Posted by Convoy on July 24th, 2014 @ 12:58pm CDT

Not really digging Menasor, but that's okay because I never really liked him anyway. Superion's looking pretty cool. Once he comes out I'll probably move the FP one to the Energon shelf where it sort of belongs. Posted by kirbenvost on July 24th, 2014 @ 1:02pm CDT

I'd say Superion, Menasor, Defensor, and a Bruticus that doesn't suck are most likely. Still gonna hope for Predaking. I'd say Superion, Menasor, Defensor, and a Bruticus that doesn't suck are most likely. Still gonna hope for Predaking. Posted by Twitchythe3rd on July 24th, 2014 @ 1:10pm CDT
