Pre-order for Combiner Wars Wave 6 Voyagers and Legends Class and Wave Info

Hellscream9999 wrote:Fellow Seibertronians, robotkingdom now has live pre-orders for the Combiner Wars wave 2 Legends and Voyager class figures. While many of the image's are just placeholders, the pre-order does include the wave breakdown for the Legends figures, and dates for the figures' arrival.

The legends class wave will include the much sought after Shockwave, Wreckgar - a remold of legends class Groove, as well as a re-release of Warpath, and Bombshell. Both waves are listed as arriving in March.

You can check out the pre-orders for the Legends and Voyagers by clicking the appropriate picture below:





And don't forget to let us know what you think of them. Will you be going in on either of these cases?

That legends class case seems odd...

I'll probably get the Skylynx/Onslaught combo since Onslaught has eluded me in brick and mortar stores so far. Actually I've only seen Blast Off and Vortex from the current wave in stores.

Yeah, I imagine that they had a lot of leftover warpaths that nobody really wanted, but considering how spotty bombshell was (both online and in stores) it's nice that people can get the insecticon again - that was a frequent complaint about skrap-shrap-nel;

But I haven't seen any of Wave 1 yet, so you're lucky

I must be in a pretty decent spot because I saw a lot of Bombshells around for awhile. I suppose having three Targets and three or more Walmarts within 15 minutes in any direction helps.

Is this the Onslaught with the different colored Bruticus chest, btw? I haven't paid enough attention to really tell the differences between the two.

Nobodies sure. Hasbro had said that there would be a running change, but the images are just placeholders - pics from botcon - so until they get the figures in, we may not know; but honestly, unless you're picky, or gunning for a certain color, Sky Lynx + Onslaught seems like a nice and tidy package to me

Yeah, either version will be fine with me. Never had the G1 combaticons anyway so I'm not tied to a specific look. I definitely like this case better than the Onslaught/Scattershot combo.

Yeah, this one is vastly superior to the wave 1 voyager case

Yeah, it's not so much a crack as a tear, it's small and only evident when trying to rotate the arm - which I won't do; and as of right now, there is no give in the arm, it was stuck in place before I removed the arms.

Oops, I forgot about this question. Yeah that's kinda the opposite problem.

Any oil will degrade the plastic something fierce. Maybe a dab of graphite powder? It works wonders on locks and my pocket knife (nylon washers).

If you could pop out the joint you could stand down the ball joint with some super fine sandpaper.

Got the arms off, might try that; not really sure what happened -I've never had this happen to this degree before, it's like the ball or joint swelled up or something

Wooooo re-assembled my dragstrip, and he seems to be fine just gonna need to give his joints a lot more exercise

Bombshell? I'd rather it be Viper... I've yet to see him at all, and it's already 2016!

Nice! I gotta say that even leaving Dragstrip in a pose for a couple days makes him a bit stiff at the joints. Hey you know what! I’m gonna experiment and keep him in a pose for a few days and see how tight his joints are. I wanna see if he really is THAT sticky jointed.

Dude, seriously, trust me, not a great idea.

If you do, be extremely careful applying pressure to move his shoulders, all you need to do though, is take his arms off at the shoulders and let them sit over night and dust off the ball and socket, but I'm finding that this is happening over a period of 15 mins now - at a much smaller scale, but still

Don't worry, I'll be careful. I am thinking of leaving him there for about a day, move ONE of the joints, see how sticky it is, leave him there for another day, move a different joint, and after a while if the last joint I move is too sticky I'll exercise the joints a bit so they don't stick. I've been fiddling with this guy for months now so I'll know when to stop the experiment.

Edit: it usually takes approximately 2 hours before it sticks just enough to have to move and loosen, but not NEARLY enough to break. I am thinking it'd be better to maybe NOT wait a day but however about 5 hours before moving a joint.

Btw I have him set up now for the experiment, now all I have to do is wait.

So the plastic is rubbing off and causing the joint to freeze? Huh? I haven't noticed that with mine but I don't handle Dragstrip very often. I'll check when I get home.

My Mirage's neck joint was and still is disturbingly snug.

This whole situation confuses me. Out of curiosity, I removed Dragstrip (whose shoulder joints haven't moved in months) from Menasor, and moved his shoulder joints. They worked perfectly, which has led me to a well-thought out and logical conclusion to this whole issue.









QC hates Hellscream.

Tried dabbing talc in the joints at all ?

The thing is though that my Dragstrip’s joints get stiff after a while too, the reason why I haven’t had much of an issue yet is because I mess with him a lot. It looks like I may have the same “QC” issue, even though I think if they used a different plastic it’d be less of an issue. I think it was a matter of Hasbro choosing between plastic that’s loosen over time, and plastic that’d get tight over time. I think they figured that kids would play with him a lot so they should use the plastic with better tightness. Obviously that was a mistake.

Edit: I have noticed that Dragstrip's shoulder joint pieces are actually pretty flexible plastic, and almost feels... Lego-like. Some of you may know that most Lego is made from ABS plastic, which earlier I stated those joints seem to be made of. ABS plastic is also what 3D printers use, which is a plastic that is meant to be able to stick with itself if slightly melted.

I hate to detract from the Drag Strip discussion, but I just found this (upcoming release spoiler alert):

Taken from the Transmissions Podcast leak:
2. Deluxe Afterburner, a recolor/remold from Unite Warriors Deluxe Groove.
3. Deluxe Lightspeed, a recolor/remold from a Combiner Wars Stunticon car limb.
4. Deluxe Nosecone, a recolor/remold of Combiner Wars Brawl (yes, with the drill from BotCon Ramhorn).
5. Deluxe Strafe, a recolor/remold of a Combiner Wars Aerialbot limb jet mold. Probably not remolded much from being a conventional Earth jet though.

Only problem would be number 4 on that list as the mould in question looks less then spectacular with that attachment

So if this is true, then basically what everyone has been speculating for sometime now.

Cool!

Cool!

So, given this, we can put together a reasonable schedule for Toy Fair 2016:
The rest of TR wave 1
Fortress Maximus
Random RID stuff
Possible CW wave 7
Computron box set (screw it, this shouldn't be kept a secret anymore)

I think Hasbro knows that some of these will get spoiled. I actually am TOTALLY fine about getting figures spoiled because then I CAN PLAN AHEAD!

That's why I like 'em. In fact, I had to adjust my buying schedule to fit him in (sorry MP Shocky)

(Since this will probably take a bit to write I am just putting this in a separate post.)

Ok, update on Dragstrip:

I have left him sitting here for about two hours, and then moved ONE of his shoulders, and then left him there for two more hours. The strange thing is the one I moved more recently is actually very tight right now, and the one I've not moved for 4 hours is looser. It's kinda odd cuz I expected the opposite, but whatever. I'm gonna try leaving him longer now, and just like before move ONE of the arms halfway through the time, and then compare tightness. Btw help me remember that the tighter shoulder currently is the left shoulder. (As I'm writing this his tighter shoulder is now almost the same looseness as the other one due to moving it around a lot.)

Edit: I need some ideas also for how to tighten Dragstrip's wrists, because they are pinned in and can't just be unscrewed out. I am not sure if I have the tools to remove pins.

Fellow Seibertronian Decepticon Sunstorm has sent us a notification from our brothers from another matrix TFW2005, and one of their board members IceConvoy looking around the Toys R Us systems - only to find what appears to be confirmation of a Computron full set! Currently priced at $99.99 with a May 2016 release date, there is no more information on this, but you can check out the screenshot below.

Thinking about it, Computron is nice and all but I would like to see the other con combiners

I just hope it's not a lazy repaint, and that they at LEAST redo the combined head.

So if this Computron boxset is real... then Scattershot/Betatron is a lie! Treachery! Deception! Falsehood! Curse you, Hasbro!

In all seriousness, probably the only thing that will make me legitimately desire Computron as much as I did Superion, Defensor, Menasor, and BRUTICUS is if we got an accompanying Abominus. I believe in even teams, and having three Autobot combiners up against two Decepticon combiners is treason in my home!

Except that hasbro basically came out and said at botcon that betatron was named so because he was a prototype for computron; all of this was said with a lot of wink, wink, nudge, nudge; they basically flat out told us that we should save our money for a computron. All of that was relative until wheeljack and ramhorn come out looking quite a bit like the technobots, which all but told me that this was happening

Bounti76 wrote:I just hope it's not a lazy repaint, and that they at LEAST redo the combined head.

The heads are close enough that changing the chest armor and coloring the thing properly could do it, if it comes down to it; however I agree, we gotta get a different head

Did any of the rumors speculate a a sixth Legends teammate?
It would have to be a weapon guy, right? Since no one can connect to the Silverbolt mold, it would have to be either Shockwave or Power Glide.

Although a reuse of Cosmos some how would be interesting.

Amen brother. I think Hasbro has ridden the repaint train as long as they can. It's time for them to show there obvious talent and start creating!

Thanks for everything everyone has said, I've read all of it and will keep the various ideas in mind for later. I still think ball diameter may have something to do with it; but so long as you rock the shoulder like ds is doing an ab flex, that seems to free it up enough to be moved

Isn't Computron the combined form? All we have is the torso. Where are the extremities?

Well, pose him vertically and he turns into a wheel. So a new head sculpt would be awesome.

I won't hold my breathe waiting for this to be a good release, I expect lazy from Hasbro. So I'll keep holding out for TT.

Did you say something about the ball in Dragstrip's shoulder joint "swelling"? Also I am now thinking about just stopping my little "experiment" and instead trying to find a way to fix it. (I have found ways to fix toys before that no-one ever thought of I can tell you.)

The present rumor is that the Cosmos mold is to have a release in TR as a toy of Scrounge.

Which I really want

Having missed out on the mold, I would kill for cool version to chill with Shockwave

Scrounge is an Autobot.

What! Aww, that's bs, but what ufo-former was I thinking of (he may have been blue and beige)

It would have to be a weapon guy, right? Since no one can connect to the Silverbolt mold, it would have to be either Shockwave or Power Glide.

I think they'll happen but not for a little while.

In all seriousness, probably the only thing that will make me legitimately desire Computron as much as I did Superion, Defensor, Menasor, and BRUTICUS is if we got an accompanying Abominus. I believe in even teams, and having three Autobot combiners up against two Decepticon combiners is treason in my home!

Isn't Computron the combined form? All we have is the torso. Where are the extremities?

In the boxset maybe?

New molds? Not a peep yet on who'll make them up. Iirc, when Bruticus was first announced, we already had some images of the limb bots.
