Christ, I wasn't even noticing them till you mentioned it. Those are a new kind of ugly for sure. I can't work out just who would be interested in such as thing? Surely Marvel fans won't, and I can't see too many TF fans wanting them. Then gain we do have fans of the Star Wars TF line don't we?Notabot wrote:On a side note, those Marvel TFs look pretty awful. I don't remember seeing those before, but I wasn't looking too hard for them either.

Hmmm...
Design looks a bit poor, if that is the genuine release toy. Looks like Silverbolt's upgrade will still have a plane on his back - only this time a bizarre one.
But, without seeing the actual 'bot, it's impossible to tell. Could be that the transformation makes the toy worthwhile.
The box art certainly implies an nigh on G1 robot mode anyway.
Still, never was a fan of Silverbolt originally, and those initial images don't do it for me this time round either.
I'll stick with Powerglide for my Ultra buying plans in this line for now.

Interesting photos of Sunstreaker (mis-)transformed so his chest is formed by the front of his car mode. The linked thread calls this his "Sideswipe mode", and surmises that this is what Sideswipe and Red Alert (if and when we see them in Universe) will look like.
Looks OK, but I have to say I'm not bowled over by it. I'm a sucker for Sideswipe though, so that toy will be a must buy for me whatever.

Damn it all to hell. Looks like another $30 to save up. I have always been a sucker for the Aerialbots.
So that means we got Aerialbot representation, Combaticon representation with Onslaught... Could we be seeing more of these? *Crosses fingers for a Hot Spot, Razorclaw, and a Motormaster*

Sadly, yes. Surely they could have picked a better name for it. I would have been happy for Graphy or even naming it something out of the blue like "Airrazor".Nevermore wrote:So Blaster's Mini-Con is named "Blockrock"?
With Silverbolt and Onslaught making their presence in the bigger size classes, I wonder if Hasbro is planning for them to be combiners.
I reckon if they release the bodies this year, and a pair of limbs for each in 2009 and 2010, they would have complete combiners on the market before the collectors' club finishes releasing theirs.

From what we've seen of Onslaught I'm pretty sure he can't combine with anything. If he can, the connection points haven't been visible in any of the pics we've seen of him so far. We won't be able to say for sure until he's released, though.Clay wrote:With Silverbolt and Onslaught making their presence in the bigger size classes, I wonder if Hasbro is planning for them to be combiners.
From the box art on Silverbolt's package, it looks like he's going to be a lot more G1-esque in robot mode than either of the previous Ultras we've seen, more in line with the sort of re-imaginings we saw in the first series of Classics. I've always been a fan of his G1 look, so he's already pencilled in above Onslaught and Powerglide in my books (which, since we've yet to see the toy, says a lot more about those two than about Silverbolt).
True; once they're released, it'll be simple enough to check for combiner joints. It's just that releasing both Onslaught and Silverbolt, out of the all the characters to choose from, at the highest price point in the line suggest further plans.Warcry wrote:From what we've seen of Onslaught I'm pretty sure he can't combine with anything.

Or not. But it could be neat if it there are more in the works.
