    Online retailer Toysanta uploaded pictures of GAIA SCRUMBLE.
    -Each mold has random 2 color schemes and can be re-assembled into two alternate characters.
    -All of them (or at least 1 airplane, 1 car and 4 limbs) combine into large robot.
    -And of course each of them can be limb of team leaders (SILVERBOLT, MOTORMASTER, and ONSLAUGHT).

    1 FIREBOLT/FIREFLIGHT airplane with single vertical tail
    or SKYDIVE airplane with double vertical tails

    2 AIR RIDER/AIR RAID airplane with retreating wing
    or SLING/SLINGSHOT airplane with forward swept wing

    3 DEAD END car
    or BREAKDOWN car (I can't recognize the difference between them)

    4 DRAG STRIPE/DRAG STRIP deformed F1 car with rear spoiler
    or WILDRIDER normal car (DRAG STRIP's spoiler becomes WILDRIDER's front)

    ? VORTER/VORTEX helicopter
    or BLAST OFF (vehicle mode is not unveiled yet but undoubtedly he becomes space shutle)

    ? BRAWL tank
    or SWINDLE (vehicle mode is not unveiled yet)

    Wow, okay, not what I expected. Especially as the 'limbs' can apparently combine to form a torso.

    This is sad so so sad. I would expect this laziness from Hasbro but not these guys. Making one set of parts-formers limbs for all 3 torsos, how much more lazy can you get.. Well canceling my preorder now.. I was excited to have 3 more kabaya combiners but they can keep those craptastic pieces of crap. How can you go from an awesome figure like Kabaya Defensor to that? Its like Hasbro had a say in how these would be made or something...

    yeah was really hoping it would be an all team of 5 combaticons or stunticons.

    not a nonsense hodge podge.

    So I'm guessing you have to buy two cases of these if you want all the limbs in both modes.

    Seems crappy, but I'll wait for more pics to decide.

    Well they don't look bad for what they are. It's just disappointing that you won't have a complete team for each.

    Unless I'm not seeing something that you guys complaining know about, it looks like we are getting 3 full combiner teams spread across several releases?

    We have the combiner leaders already announced and the list above fills out all 4 limb bots per team.

    Ignoring the new feature for a moment, does it really matter that two pairs of stunticons and aerialbots share a base mold when the add on parts will distinguish them? And hasn't Kabaya always been about the parts-forming? It looks like we'll be able to build the G1 scramable city combiners that I for one was hoping for.

    Don't forget that Kabaya sets get stickers which is where the figures should really come to life.

    The Gaia Guardian set actually avoided partsforming. I can see a couple of these do as well - suspect the others might except the Aerialbots.

    Yeah, that was my impression too. We will eventually get all the limbs over a few waves.

    Reactionary responses, in my TF fandom? Say it ain't so!

    for toys intended to be cheapo fun I kinda like them I'd repaint them and make new names for them and be happy with them.

    Some actually remind me of Micro masters such as Drag Strip being Barricade, Brawl can be Bombshock (not much of a jump), Vortex as Tracer, Brakedown as Road Hugger. Airraid as SkyHopper, and FireFlight as Storm Cloud.

    Interesting what they have done with these, but I think Ill probably skip this wave and instead opt for the Silverbolt, Bruticus, and Menasor set for my boy

    but for what they are and all, sort of still interesting for sure

    You can't build Superion, Bruticus, or Menasor without these guys.

    I understand that, but they dont really look too much like their g1 counterparts any ways , colors being way off and vehicle modes being off too. He only wants things that are in the cartoon and look like the cartoon so..............

    unless my boy really really wants and ask for them I wont be buying these.

    I'm sure they'll look a lot more accurate once they're stickered up.

    I think who ever typed the news headline got the information wrong. The way im reading this first post is each kit does NOT include enough parts to build two separate figures..
    The way I am reading the first post and why im not liking these is because it says each kit is two figures BUT you can only build one or the other, you cant build two separate figures, its one figure with 2 modes.. That sucks..

    For example, Here is what im talking about , it says

    4 DRAG STRIPE/DRAG STRIP deformed F1 car with rear spoiler
    or WILDRIDER normal car
    (DRAG STRIP's spoiler becomes WILDRIDER's front)

    So you can only build Dragstrip or Wildrider, you don't get parts to build two separate figures. Its one or the other. Which is pretty crappy , why would you do that? Its impossible to build a proper combiner without having to buy like 3 cases of these things so you can build one of each limb.

    I think they should not have released a wave of just combiners if it was going to cause them to make the limbs like this. I would have rather had the torsos spread out over the next 3 waves of Kabaya if it meant they would make proper limbs for them..
