The new wave of Combiner Wars Legends figures aren't too shabby. Really liking the Viper blue/red repaint of Powerglide!

Here's my quick review of the new Combiner Wars Groove. Not a bad start to the Protectobots

Here's my look at the awesome Decepticon repaint of Powerglide that is Viper!

Overall the CW Protectobot team looks pretty good (I forgot to put Groove in this pic lol!!) The least impressive unfortunately is Hotspot!
I really dig that Decepticon Rattler. Will probably pick it up if I ever see it. Be too awesome if a mini Wild Weasel came with it. How does it scale with the MP figures? Just glancing at that PowerGlide, I'm wondering if he wouldn't fit in pretty well with an MP display. . .

Oh, these don't scale well with MPs at all. The Powerglide mold is Legends class, which is smaller than MP Bumblebee.

Here's my review of the Combiner Wars Warpath figure. Not too bad overall. Would've preferred the turret on his chest in bot mode though.
I think these combiner wars toys seem pretty good for collectors, but may also be the best actual toys for kids to recapture what Transformers are all about. Very excited about the line's future.
Thanks. Since he was originally another mini-bot, I would be OK if he was the same size as BB, but not if he was much smaller.

I find these CW figures perfect for the next generation of TF fans in kids. My kids absolutely love them. But for me as an adult collector who grew up with G1 cartoons, the Masterpiece line is still where it's at for me.
No doubt about masterpiece.
I got Starsaber yesterday. I had to choose between which to purchase as the vendor had both Ultra Magnus and Starsaber. Magnus looked too blocky and Starsaber was much more proportioned. Plus Starsaber feels more like a triple changer (Starship, Spacestation docker, a gun turret -battle station using the shield and other parts for the little nebulon?)
Also, I found the sword handle is quite loose in the hands when gripping it. Therefore, i took a piece of clear fish tubing and slid it over the length of the handle. This works quite well and now he can grip the sword easily. Plus, this guy is awesome.

Never thought about it like that, I like triple changers and wouldn't mind some well engineered ones in MP scale...alas obviously theres much more important characters on most fans lists.
There would inevitably be some tradeoffs in one of the designs there, I'm sure, but I would love to see a great MP Astrotrain and Blitzwing. I had both as a kid, and was a pretty big fan of the Blitzwing toy. We've actually had a 3rd party Astrotrain that wasn't half bad.

DX09's Astrotrain has 2 decent modes but the shuttle mode looks too stubby and misses several design cues from either the toy or animation model.
Nevertheless it goes some way to proving that an MP scale Astrotrain can work and it'll inevitably pave the way for someone else to improve on it.
DX09 are also doing Blitzwing but they haven't revealed any images yet.

Gaahh!! Uploaded all 4 reviews of the new Combiner Wars Deluxe Protectobots, but YouTube only processed two of them. So Rook and Streetwise will have to come later now.
In the mean time, here's my review of First Aid, the retool of the previous wave's Offroad. Pretty nice retool over all. Hope you can check it out!

YouTube decided to play nice, so here's my review of the new Combiner Wars Protectobot Rook. I have to say I was skeptical about the new team member, but I think I actually like him the most out of the team!
Great new mold to be honest! Hope you can check out the video

Here's the last review in the new wave of Combiner Wars Deluxe figures with Streetwise. It's a heavy retool of the previous Dead End, but still looks pretty good. Hope you can check out the video

Here's Defensor with his mate Superion. I gotta say, he is so much better than Menasor! The Stunticon was just all wrong in terms of body proportions, but Defensor and Superion are pretty damn good!
