    I appreciate the Combiner Wars sub-line. However, I have no figures yet.

    Definitely hope Hasbro will keep this combining system for future lines though. Looks like the best and most modular modern combining system yet.

    Also, Silverbolt ftw~

    Yes, I do appreciate Combiner Wars, thanks for asking.

    I'm stoked for these releases, especially the Stunticons.

    Silverbolt's robot mode looks great. The undercarriage on his alt mode though.

    Also there's been some hate for him but I think Alpha Bravo looks like a great great figure.

    Just watched a review for 3 of them, I'm warming up to em, they are serviceable standalone figures, if somewhat simple, but then again I never had an issue with the limb bots, the torsos are what concerned me, and the hand/feet, which even after the review look just terrible, but otherwise I'm approaching this line with cautious optimism

    ^no you aren't alone waiting for a gift set

    OK, some early shots. Will also post some in the super clear thread as well.

    Lovely figure, much better than I expected. Three sets of cab windows is a bit much though ;) 

    At first I thought the shoulders couldn't rotate but they were just very stiff. The wrist can't rotate at all which is a shame but not a deal breaker.

    Superion looks surprisingly good next to Prime.

    Hasbro needs to stop writing off waist articulation. Supes does look realy nice though, much better than the original pics/vids suggested.

    I'm really excited for Combiner Wars. Having all the Legends figures as guns and shields, and an Optimus combiner really awakens the kid in me that loves when figures have multiple purposes, and are designed to be used with other figures. Although budget, and the picky adult part of me will likely stop me form getting most of the Legends and Optimus.
