    They look okay. I'm more interested though in seeing the new Decepticon combiner.

    Who would have ever thought that Hasbro would need to be told, "That's not what combiners are."

    A team of five Decepticons? Okay... i wonder if they gunna be toys or something of said group, I was kinda dissapointed with the lack of scramble-city styled combiners in the Combiner Force line.

    I still can't figure out how warrior shot stormshot combines, he doesn't seem to have anything that suggests he does.
    I'll wait to see how it's handled in show, but the concept sounds promising if executed well, and the minicon aspect seem really of fun! Kind of digging the MASK elements to some of them too with how the vehicles have secondary modes.

    Victory toys were better than Jesus. Sorry "Entirely Fictional Space Jesus", that I just made up and has no relation to deities living or dead, so can not possibly offend anyone. He's also blue and oversized, so please don't confuse him with any other product.

    I really wish we could get modern remakes (or even straight releases at sensible prices) of the original Victory and Brave toys, man they are awesome.

    Oh you mean you WISH they would be $30 in Oz. More like more more more.
    Let's see some Myer prices...

    Combiner just means a minimum of two things that combine (or more).
    RID had Omega Prime (combiner of two) and was (is) an amazing toy.

    If you look at all the robot toy lines over the years, going back to the seventies (everything, not just Transformers) there are way more 2-3 robot combos than gestalts and scramble city style combiners, they are actually in the minority.

    BeeSwipe? I just, ummm, just.....no.
    I'm all for 1 Bot being the torso and 4 others being limbs. Hell, I own 4 Combiner sets myself.
    There's just something inherently creepy and mildly disturbing with 1 Bot forming the upper torso and another Bot forming the lower torso.

    For referance, I just saw a pic on Twitter posted by TransformersWiki of "BeeSwipe".

    Stormhammer and Sky Sledge remind me of the Gold and Silver RPM Zords..
    [​IMG]

    (And anybody notice three of the four new Autobots for Combiner Force are jets? Because it seems like Skyhammer is the one who introduces them to combining....so maybe they're hinting at Superion or something like it showing up later to help stop the big bad team)

    I guess I'll be sticking with the Warriors. I'm not a fan of the limited articulation of the Combiners.

    Probably too much to ask, but it could be interesting if the Abominus and/or Predaking doing the rumor mill rounds were somehow pulling double duty between RID and Combiner Wars.

    This line would be perfect for Battletrap and Flywheels. Come on Hasbro, make it so.

    Did they mention when these will come out? I think my 5 year old son will love these.
