    No Thermidor?

    Also, are we sure that's Cyclonus? If it's like Beeprime and Menasor, the legs belong to the torso, and there're wheels on his legs.

    Cool we finally get another look at the Ultra Bee and Menasor characters. Those cartoon images look awful particular I wonder if they will have warrior class Combiners as well as Crash Combiners? I'm guessing crash combiners we'd see by April or May and Warrior Class (deluxe) combiners would be later in the fall winter time. That's IF they even did warrior class Combiners. I'm just speculating but i bet if we harass Hasbro enough about it our chances are better. ;) 

    Lunar Force is just a blue colored Primestrong. Not a class. But it would be nice if they categorized it wrong although im betting it will be in a crash combiner assortment. It just seems to be the budget we get with this lime, rather then full scale combiners. Like I mentioned above if the.combiners become really.prevelant in the show especially, then if Hasbro isn't already thinking it I'm sure we can all band together & keep Hasbro on their toes and let them know we want Warrior Class deluxe combiners. That's probably about as good as its gonna get in rhis line..

    Well not necessarily. But I'm sure Ultra Bee and Menasor are. We've already seem their cartoon models, albeit a bit blurry.

    It looked like Galvatronus Is a repaint/remold off Menasor.

    All iy is is Prime and Strongarm makinh a combiner as well as the Bee Team I think it's quite brilliant especially if they can bring the toys to life with movement. Have you seen the cartoon images of the combiner characters ? Like Menasor and Ultra Bee? REALLY COOL LOOKING..;)  Check em out!

    I don't think Ultrabee has the same combination scheme as the other two (at least in the series).

    Grimlock is bigger than any of the carbots, so I'm guessing he forms the waist *and* legs. Meanwhile the other two combiners are five bots, so the torso-bot also forms the upper legs.

    And I think people are assuming Cyclonus because we know that he is getting a figure later.

    They've pulled in Windblade, so it's possible they're going to cement Cyclonus/Galvatronus as continuity now as well.

    These were the only new guys added in the update
    For whatever reason, Stormshot and the rest of wave 1 of Combiner force have yet to be added beyond the crash combiners and activators.
    And none of the other revealed figures besides crash combiners and activators have been added. I'm sure they will get in eventually. But they weren't in this update for whatever reason.


    EDIT: however. Looking through the characters again. I have noticed that oddly "Warrior Power Surge Optimus Prime" (the version with the red shoulders) has vanished from the game. So now only "Warrior Power Surge Optimus Prime Eite" remains (the version with the white shoulders)
    Odd considering they were both previously in the game and both versions released at retail

    The white shouldered "elite" version as a toys r us exclusive alongside Paralon and Starscream
    The red shoulders version as a mass retail release in the same wave as Scorponok and Windblade

    It's strange only Combiner Force figures involving combination are in the app. Also strange is if you scan a missing Combiner Force figure (such as Legion Springload or Warrior Stormshot) give you Cryostasis figures. Figures in the app like Crash Combiners or Activator Combiners don't give you tickets and instead just unlock the character.

    Also every single pack Mini-Con Weaponizer from Wave 2 except for the red Windstrike is missing. They were actually never added to the game. The red Windstrike was but no one else. Odd. If only we could reach out to Hasbro and tell them the app is having problems.
