The Hasbro Germany and Spain sites have updated with some exciting new Legends class additions to the Generations Combiner Wars line. The new additions will please completists – the first of them is Skywarp, completing the Seeker trio using the Legends class molds. The second one is the previously teased Rodimus redeco of Blackjack.
There’s official images of both to enjoy – check them out after the break.

Now that I've noticed that Rody's package has the "Combine to form" ad on it, I have no doubt that white Prime/Motormaster repaint is happening.
Shin Densetsu
Can you elaborate?

That Legends Rodimus.
I sense a Star Convoy homage here…
Yobuster
Well i can understand why they have Rodimus here but he looks odd like heck being so small and totally out of scale with the other guys. Still i'd probably buy it. At this scale they make for easy purchases to play around with.
Starscream Gaga
Yeah, he definitely does. For whatever reason I forgot they gave Blackjack a mouth plate and visor and was thinking that it might just be Blackjack + painted head crest.
Actually taking a look at it I really do like it. The head seems to be based on Milne's look for him, which is awesome and while the mold is a little "meh" for Rodimus, I think the potential of a Thunderclash using a tiny Rodimus for a combiner is hilarious and awesome. Also, if it turns out the White Prime is simply Ultra Magnus, Rodimus can stay with Bumblebee/Cosmos/Optimus/Megatron/Starscream and their repaints alongside Metroplex and Omega Supreme as part of the down-sized IDW character display.
Plus finally having a full Seeker team straight from Hasbro is exciting and awesome. Getting both the FOC and the Guido designs completed within two years is insanely cool and totally unexpected. Recently I've come to hope that when they release Starscream they only repaint him as Sunstorm/Acid Storm because I hate having Thundercracker without Skywarp and vice versa and I can live with only Starscream and the lesser known Seekers, but they've really picked up their game and squashed my fears.

Now this would have been genius.

I had not read that.

There was a good mini-Rodimus from the early generations legends-sized figures (can't remember what they called that size-class back then). It was with the Cosmos and Warpath wave. Which is kind of ironic since both of those figures have gotten/are getting new legends figures.
I use Mini-Rodimus with Unicron. Yeah, the size is still off, but it works for me.

Not all the figures from that Walmart Scanner are an actual combiner limb. I know of two that are for sure limbs that weren't on that list.

Only one the limbs is aboard the Lost Light, though – Roberts has mentioned that Sunstreaker left the ship after Dark Cybertron.

This Rodimus isn't some random choice. The artwork we saw makes it look like it could be a Lost Light combiner. I'm guessing that is Ultra Magnus with Rodimus for a chest.

I think it would have made a really good Streetwise IMO. They could have made Goove a Tumbler or something else beside a bike (but still has a bike feel) as a bike would be pretty hard to pull off as a limb in CW.
Metal Sonic
In a rare twist, I would've actually supported this figure (Rodimus) as Bumblebee, or better yet Throttlebot Goldbug. Really disappointed, to be honest.
pegasusprime
mayber for the next year a leader class similar to the titanium
flik68
yep I can save money too. these are a easy pass.
Predakwon
Great news, I can save money.
Happy for those that want both these molds though.
peaces
well. both the cloud version and this version look lazy and thrown together. insult to injury.
shellformer
I get the feeling people are disappointed in a legends-class Rodimus not because it's somehow anathema to the character but because Rodimus doesn't get toys as often as Optimus or the seekers. I mean, if you don't like a particular Optimus or Starscream you can wait a couple of months and get a different one.
optimusmegas
that would be welcome….i mean i dont buy 3p figures that more than likely will get a mainline figure…or in the case of an optimus have soooo many to choose from. but at this point i would buy a rodimus in a heartbeat. currently i have the cybertron excellion standing in place of rodimus on my lost light shelf. he does the job but it's not the same. its the height i want and technically the look i want. but it's just not the same.

I forget which outfit it was, but I remember someone last year mentioning that company X had a new Rodimus on their docket.
