SDCC 2012 - Fall of Cybertron Combaticons in Package Images

Posted on 07-12-2012 at 12:15 PM by Sol Fury under San Diego Comic Con
SDCC2012-Fall-of-Cybertron-Combaticons-001
From our team at the San Diego Comic Con 2012 we're got some more new Transformers toy images to share with you. These ones are a supplement to the Generations Fall of Cybertron toy display with our first look at the five Fall of Cybertron Combaticons in package! There's a couple of pleasing little additions to the packaging, namely the use of "part x of 5" in the top corner, recalling the old Generation 1 style of numbering each member of the combiner groups.

We've also got pics of the backs of the packaging, specifically, we've got the bios for the five! Read on to view the bios - we've also added them to our Transformers Resources section.

Keep it TFW for more updates, and check out our fellow sites Hisstank and Toyark for more SDCC 2012 coverage!

Onslaught

Onslaught believes precision and planning are the keys to success, He spends hours devising battle plans considering contingencies, and deliberating troop disposition before ever committing his forces to battle. Once the fight is joined, however, no robot is a fiercer fighter.

Blast Off

Blast Off disguises the horrible lonliness he feels behind utter contempt for anyone who can't reach orbit under their own power. From his isolated position in orbit, he can fry any Autobot his comrades designate with powerful x-ray lasers, or descend to join his fellows in forming the mighty Decepticon Bruticus.

Brawl

It's possible that the rage that drives Decepticon Bruticus to his untold feats of destruction is contained entirely within Decepticon Brawl. Barely contained at the best of times, this brutal 'bot's anger is unleashed on the battlefield, turning him into the eye of a storm of devastation.

Swindle

To the other Combaticons, the war with the Autobots is an epic clash for the fate of the universe. To Swindle, it's a business opportunity. While his teammates relish the frenzy of destruction they cause as Decepticon Bruticus, Swindle quietly calculates how much he can get for selling all the scrap metal that'll be lying around afterward.

Vortex

Few Autobots fear a fight against Vortex. What they fear is being captured and at his mercy. He uses magnetic grapples to haul helpless captives high into the sky. There he treats them to a terrifying series of swoops, loops and dives before dropping them to their doom.

These look good. I enjoy the color scheme of the SDCC exclusives better, but I am still excited about these ones. I know the colors are off, they really pop! The packaging is awesome too!

I might have to get 2, ones to open and display and ones to keep in package!

I Love These Colors. But Why?

I like Swindle's boxart, too. Fits the character well.

A pity he doesn't have giant eyes though, but oh well

...is Swindle doing the finger-guns in his package art?

That is OUTSTANDING.

Well.........the games are pretty much heavily influenced by G1's branch.

Suffice it to say...the colors on these are not too bad.

I am a bit curious about parts swapping with the figures from the SDCC Bruticus set. Bruticus's head, a few panels from Blast Off and Vortex........

Swindle is doing the finger gun pointing thing on his box art.

I wasn't going to buy this version of Bruticus, but that is just outstandingly hilarious

Me to a little.

But then I remembered what the giant bot looked like which instantly saddened me....

So yeah I'll be keeping these as individual bots until the 3rd party guys make an honest Giant out of him.

Swindle is so cool. Maybe I get Brawl too.

Really no longer bothered by the color scheme. They look good in their boxes

26 years passed, and Vortex still just wants to take people for a ride... of their lives!

I seriously hope the game has a cut-scene where he re-enacts that famous scene from 'Commando'.

-"What did you do to that Autobot?"
-"I've let him go."

I'm sure we'll get a third party head, least I hope so. and yes anyone who whines "Hasbro doesn't care and is out of touch"....yeah look at that Boxart and say that.
Grimlock_13
Don't like the actual toys except for Brawl but damn Swindle's box art is great. Perfect for the character.

It's great but sadly it doesn't make the actual toy any less shitty.

Pretty much.

After all, it wasn't Hasbro that did the head design, anyway. They signed off on it, sure, but they didn't originate it.

Grammar doesn't exist anymore.

BUILD GIANT ROBOT!

YOU BUY NOW?

Also, Swindle is the f'n man. lol.
Crystal Convoy
Was planning on just getting the G2 set, but I'm going to have to get Swindle just for the box art.
Exodus
Cool glad I pre ordered these than...
Soundwinder
Swindle's head is disappointing.

Especially since the G2 version has an orange visor. That's just... odd.

But I love the boxart.
red00wolf
You know,I might just pick up classics energon bruticus maximus.
When you look at them as the energon dudes the colors are just fine.
G2 or the comic con version will be my classics bruticus if I can grab him. Also it will be neat to sit this one next to rotf bruticus.
Autobot_Jacer
Vortex looks sick! I hope I will have money for these guys when they're out in retail.

is it in bad taste to say that Funpub=Swindle?

but i really like the box art. i've also kinda grown on these new colors. though i may still repaint BO and Vortex if i get them. but i'm definitely getting Onslaught as i can never have too many
Maverick Hunter Christian
Was only interested in Vortex and Blast-off from the retail versions; but man... Swindle's boxart. He's a buy just for that, if nothing else.

Yes, it is bad taste.

I like Swindle.
seekerblackout
Yeah, I might have to keep Swindle's packaging.

If they reveal a US Breakdown today, that better be on the slide.

And listed as an action feature on the front of the box.

I love the G1-feeling of these bios, though the wording is still a bit weak. You'd think a paid copywriter would turn out a bit more of a polished product.

Like, Bruticus' rage is contained in Brawl, who is barely contained at the best of times?

He's also the "eye of a storm of devastation!!" So... uh, that means that when Brawl gets angry, he gets very calm and peaceful as devastation happens around him? Because that's what the "eye of the storm" actually means.

C'mon, guys.

Galvatron Rage
Yeah, it's been said three dozen times already, but what's one more?

That packaging/cardart is great! It really adds to the figure. Those will display great MOSC.
microclone
i realy like the new packaging (movie figure packs were a real turn off by comparison) and the individual modes, less so combined but thats a bonus. I really hope theres enough to go round so that we arent scrabbling looking for that last limb. The packaging really gives a 'real' toy vibe here, with a nice explanation of what the thing does and where it combines, i can imagine young adults in 20 years saying 'i love these things but mum only got me swindle and onslaught'!
mfic99us
Ah man, getting excited! This pleases the collector in me very much. Hasbro going back to selling each bot individually. Searching far and wide for the next piece of the GIANT ROBOT puzzle.

Soon...

The retail versions are looking better and better for me. Originally they were out of the question, but after seeing how bland and boring looking the SDCC ones were, I actually like some these better. Especially Onslaught and Brawl.
Crossfire-034
Yeah, I agree. I mean, SDCC Blast Off looks like...well, crap. Certainly not the bronze-y colour suggested by the stock photos. Heck, even G2 Fruticus is growing on me.
