    Because my local Walmart had a tag up with their Crash Combiners that mentioned Dragstrip and Wildbreak. I don't know if I missed some news or what.

    Yep. :thumb 

    This is fantastic news for me since I really love the Stunticons plus there is supposed to be a new Decepticon combiner in the show so it might be the Stunticons afterall. :)

    They could probably just reprint the four currently released crash combiners into the stunticons.

    You're probably not that far off. We know there's a new badguy combiner team on the show...and if Hasbro wants to release toys that can play off that without breaking the bank what better way than to use the Stunticons so they can be repainted as the Autobot team (who'll likely have to learn the art of combination to defeat them).

    Motormaster -> Optimus.
    Offroad -> Strongarm.
    Dragstrip -> Blurr/Drift.
    Wildbreak -> Sideswipe.
    Dead End -> Bumblebee.

    It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility because even the animal based Decepticons have car/vehicle modes this year. So they wouldn't be out of place with the overall theme of the line thus far.

    That's so bizzarre that the flag printed that specific item. Generally to get a description like that, the actual item is scanned as opposed to the shelf label

    Yep. This likely confirms Menasor as the new villainous combiner.

    Wonder if the three new Jet Autobots (two of which we know can combine) are a hint that Superion may show up as well.

    When that weird wave of CW Wave 2 figure showed up at Walmart stores in my area had no idea how to handle it. I bought Offroad, and when they went to sell it they needed to manually add it.

    The Walmart I bought it from had "Combiner Wars Offroad" sitting on a peg for *months*. I think it messed up the system so bad they never got another batch of Deluxes.

    Which means they probably had to reprint a label and scanned his box. When setting a mod the system uses a label of generic description.

    Guys. I think the Decepticon Combiner is Menasor. Dragstrip and Wildbreak (Wildrider + Brake-Neck). To match G1 we'll probably get Superion. Just look at Stormhammer and Skysledge's boxart.
