Transformers Collection – Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors

And so the great cataloging of my personal collection continues.

The next instalment of the Generations line and the first installment of the Prime Wars Trilogy was Combiner Wars.  This is a toyline that a lot of people – now near a full decade later – tend to disparage.  However personally I feel that is both unwaranted and unjustified.  Combiner Wars brought back many of the classic Combiner teams,including many of the Scramble City groups such as the Aerialbots & Stunticons.  It introduced new teams such that which made the first female combiner Victorion, and best of all it’s signature piece was a huge Devastator, which remains the largest mainline gestalt ever made!

Toy Review – Unite Warriors Computron VS Combiner Wars Computron

The companion line in Japan was Unite Warriors.  These featured most of the same teams but with new paintjobs, and sometimes differered the moulds that Combiner Wars used for various individuals – the Technobots being a prime example.  So if you wanted to have both the Combiner and the bots who made them up on display, picking up both lines was a great option! (also the Aussie dollar was very strong back then, making it affordable enough to do so.  Sadly no longer the case).

Toys Review – the Combiner Wars Combaticons!

Transformers Collection – Transformers 2010

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues.

The Transformers 2010 toyline is primarily made up of two sublines. The first of these was Hunt for the Decepticons, which was heavily infulenced by the Movieverse lines and indeed contained quite a few redeco’s of figures from the Revenge of the Fallen toyline.  Reveal the Shield was its successor, harking back to the Classics line with new versions of classic G1 characters – even bringing back the beloved rubsigns!

Neither of these two sublines of Transformers 2010 were ever specifically classified as belonging to either the Movieverse or the Generations line, so fans were free to decide whether the individual characters belonged in one universe or the other.  So if you think that HFTD Seaspray is a bitchin’ update to the G1 figure rather than an alternate Movieverse incarnation then you roll with it!

My 100+ Generations Decepticons

Toys Review – Team Sky Reign

Team Sky Reign of the Combiner Wars is one of those groups that doesn’t quite make sense considering the characters in play.  Four ground vehicle Autobots from Season 2 of the cartoon, a giant space shuttle Autobot from season 3 as the body and then the Junkion Leader as some sort of proxy backpack. Pretty odd group to become a gestalt eh?  Personally I purchased these simply as I find it very hard to pass up a figure that is a G1 character homage – unlike the traditional combiner teams (Stunticons, Protectobots etc) these guys will be staying separate rather than in their gestalt form for the most part in my display.

 

Robot Modes

Hound – Scout

Quite a nice looking Hound. The mould suits him really well and is indicative of his other incarnations. Good colours and poseability. Nice head sculpt too and the facial expression suits Hound quite well – no chain-beards here!

Hound1

Smokescreen – Diversionary Tactician

Lovely colours, but one of the boxiest Smokescreens we’ve had in years. No particularly sleek lines and no doors coming off the shoulders. Legs and arms fairly poseable. Nice forehead fins in yellow, a bit too blue in the legs.

Smokescreen1

Trailbreaker – Defensive Tactician

Actually – surprisingly good! For me the Generations version had the front of the vehicle facing too far forward instead of downward for him to be truly Trailbreaker’esque. The flat chest and stomach actually seem to suit the figure well. Another bonus is his rounded blaster hand – this is something I never noticed in any of the pics I saw online so was a very pleasant surprise and helps give him his own feel. A shame they put it on the right hand instead of the left as in the cartoon it was always the left but you can overlook it. Good poseability, great colours, excellent head sculpt.

Trailbreaker1

Wheeljack – Mechanical Engineer

Wanna know why Wheeljack is so small in the picture? Because every time I took a photo up close Wheeljack appeared as a flare because he is so white with nothing breaking it up! All the rumours you’ve heard about Wheelkjacks lack of paint apps are true. They’ve given him the windshield on the gut yet its white, his hands are white – everything is plain white! Worst looking Wheeljack we’ve had for years (if you don’t count the Tiny Titans one).

Wheeljack1

Sky Lynx – Lieutenant Commander

A nice looking Sky Lynx indeed. While the poseability isn’t great nearly every part of him can be repositioned to some extent (wings, tail, legs, feet, neck, mouth) so you can give him different looks. Blasters can be attached to the wings or to elongate the tail.

Skylynx1

Wreck Gar – Junkion Leader

The beard should have been a bit less dark, as it is it looks like a big black smudge on the bottom of his face – a shame since there is actual definition between the mustache and the beard.  He is very lanky too but pretty good for such a small figure.  Could’ve used an axe.

IMG_3525

 

Vehicle Modes

Hound – Army Jeep

Like Swindle this is his weaker mode. It’s not a bad looking jeep overall but it doesn’t quite work on some levels. That said, it’s a more grown-up looking jeep than the Universe version and a more milatristic looking jeep than the Alternators version. Having the star on the hood and being able to put the silver gun at the back and off to one side make this toy look more Hound’esque. Once again like Swindle there are little details like saddlebags etc on the sides which are easy to overlook as they have received no paint apps.

Hound2

Smokescreen – Sports Car

Very nice indeed! Well proportioned, good paintjob, 38’s on the doors and hood – overall very Smokescreen’esque.

Smokescreen2

Trailbreaker – SUV

A case where using the hand/foot attachment actually seems to serve some purpose. It acts like a removable cab over the ute tray to give him much more of a G1 feel. This is ruined if you look at him from behind with the thumb sticking out and all but from the front and sides it really works. They also got the stripes just right on the sides of the vehicle.

Trailbreaker2

Wheeljack – Race Car

Certainly his redeeming mode. Looks really good and is very faithful in shape, colour and concept to the Wheeljack character. Very nice indeed if still somewhat plain looking.

Wheeljack2

Sky Lynx – Space Shuttle

Besides the undercarriage sticking out from under the back of the Space Shuttle good and it’s very faithful to the original Sky Lynx concept in terms of proportions, colour scheme and shape. Very nice. Blasters can once again be attached to the wings.

SklyLynx2

Wreck Gar – Motorcycle

A sleek, futuristic looking motorcycle.  Could have used a bit more gray instead of yellow and maybe the odd spike.  Not a bad reuse of the Groove mold however.

IMG_3526

 

Combined Mode – Sky Reign

I showed up once in the comics where I had different limb characters and worked for Galvatron. How humiliating!

Actually, you know what?  It’s not that bad looking a gestalt!  The Lynx head looks very cool indeed and differentiates him from the other gestalts in look.  Sky Lynx overall works really well as a torse, providing a great looking head, chest and limb connectors.  The fact his two blasters combine into one huge sword is very cool too.  The rest of the team are quite interchangeable as limbs, it doesn’t really seem to affect the look too much whom you put where.  Smokescreen in particular looks like his  colour scheme works well alongside that of Sky Lynx.  The limbs aren’t really super impressive, you’ve seen all these molds as limbs on the other combiners before.  But the overall effect of these guys combined is better than I thought it would be and Sky Reign can be posed in a myriad of ways.  Wreck-Gar really doesn’t work anywhere on him, not even as an odd looking backpack, I can understand why he was dropped from the official description of the gestalt at the last second.  It’s interesting that Sky Reign has finally shown up in popular fiction (the IDW comics Transformers #52 & #53) yet not only was Wreck-Gar left out but the limbs were completely different characters.

Overall it’s a fun group (Wheeljacks poor robot look notwithstanding) with a surprisingly fun combined mode.  It’s a shame that Wreck Gar doesn’t really connect properly since all the other gestalts are made up of six figures (even if they just become a weapon) but there are ways around it.  So Wave 6 of the Combiner Wars gets a big thumbs up from Big Transformer Trev.
