That's an insult to Rescue bots tbh

 

I hope the Minicons from the activator sets are made available separate. as I like them, but not their bulk partners.
the Crash combiners and new one steps look like garbage
why are there no official images of the new Warrior class figures?

 

I just want better articulated Mini-Cons.

These current toon designs look great, but the toys.....not so much. Hell, put the toon Mini-Cons in the Cyberverse line like they did with Fixit, cause he's damn near perfect in that line.

 

Ditto big time. In all honesty i never handled one of the toys but these minicons look like absolute bricks. Do they have any articulation ?
Giving them Legions toys is the way to go.

 

Because Hasbro wants to taunt the people wanting to digibash Stormshot into Leader-1, that's why!

 

Also Squawkbox and Slamdance.

 

I really want a new Battle Trap and flywheels, that looks g1 but have better articulation. So im not for sure I want to see them IN THIS LINE, but it would make sense

But of course with them doing Overlord ( and the pre-paint Black Shadow ) in the Generations Line, it would be perfect to have them in there too

 

To be honest, I'm not really feeling the crash combiners, although they look like they'd be fun to mess with. I'm just gonna sit here being hyped for Stormshot. He looks like another home run in this line.

Seriously, if you (understandably) wrote this line off because of how bad to mediocre the early stuff was aside from Drift, you should give it another shot. Fracture and Megatronus were a huge turnaround for this line, and everything since then has been great - the engineering on Thunderhoof is nothing short of amazing, and Quillfire/Scatterspike, Starscream and Scorponok/Paralon are also pretty great. And then, of course, you have Bisk, who's, well... He's Bisk. He was kind of destined to be great by merely existing.

The only one this year that's not that great is Windblade, and that has more to do with her (lack of a) paintjob. Even then, she looks like a solid sculpt.

 

She is a solid sculpt, definitely superior to the previous gen windblade. She isnt fiddly, the jet doesnt have a huge gap in the middle, everything is solid, and her heels are a solid part with her foot which helps greatly. Its a very good mold.

 

I keep re-reading all these threads, but I just want to be clear, there's still no release date info on these guys??? I guess winter or next spring is a safe bet?

 

i know i'm late to the party but i was looking up combiner force stuff but i can't agree with your statement more...

the early figures were fun but not great. i liked optimus and strongarm from that group but since then i've gotten origin drift and he's fantastic. i've also been getting more of the cons since they've been released like fracture, thunderhoof, and paralon all of whom are just as good as you've said. just recently i got the warrior ratchet who's awesome and takara windblade..which honestly your remark about lack of paintjob from hasbro is now a thing of the past...takara is the version of her to get for the best of the two windblade figures.

the future of this line looks even better as well. there were some great figures in the beginning but some mistakes (sideswipe) but now this line is really hitting homeruns
