Amazon.com have added a new Hasbro product video to their Combiner Wars Motormaster listing. The video shows off the Combiner Wars line with a particular focus on the Stunticons and their combined form, Menasor!
Check out the video on the Amazon product page!

This is how you sell combiners (even though they sold better after Hasbro sold them)

We need an updated version of this ad, but with two thirty year olds fighting it out instead of the kids.

I love how Silverbolt and Prime are pointing guns at each other in a sly way.

Wow, that was banal. False enthusiasm comes across really salesman-y and kinda creepy, too. Fails horribly to sell me these products.
Anyone else think some action-y stopmotion commercials could market these things better than this bland, uninteresting infomercial crap? =/

doesn't qualify as news to me since everyone knows how these work already. this video might be something interesting if it was 3 months ago.

Bland & boring.

I can say for myself – you were not!

menasor still has that waist problem

I feel like they assumed that the idea sold itself. Like any adult collector would see it's an updated verion of an old character, and would end up buying it. As for kids, I don't know.

I clicked the link but I don't see any video

Yeah, we really need an 80's-style commercial for these CW figures. This promo is competent enough (at least the teams weren't mixed up), but the guy could have been advertising house plants for all the pizzazz he put into it. It begs to question: Why hasn't Hasbro put out a single commercial for this toyline since it started with Classics?

He should be holding and caressing a cat too.

Am i the only one that thinks they should make the commercials in the style of the 80s ones with generations figures?
I've always thought a g1 inspired commercial for generations metroplex would've been awesome

You're not alone. The delivery of the guy saying everything in that promotional video has no life to it.
Thankfully it's not running on tv.

I bet I'm not the only one who was hoping for a Victor Caroli voiceover.

It's a link off to the left near the product photos. I had to bring it up in IE in order to see it, but I may have simply missed it while I had the page up in Firefox.

I really hope some one just told their kid to get in there really fast, I'm hoping this kid wasn't actually picked to promote this.
It's not the age it's his looks of distain and general not caring about the product ha.
