why are leakers incapable of using cameras other than the shittiest camera of 2007 lol
It's a well know fact that all leakers are quite literally your Grandma. Photos are taken on either a 3 Megapixel digital camera or her Jitterbug flip-phone.
Presumed-official box art for Silverbolt and Slingshot:
I am just assuming that with this round of combiners, this is how they're going to work.
Hmm, yeah, it does seem to, doesn't it? Menasor was one of the "toy version and animation version are mutually exclusive" characters, so that style of combination WAS actually accurate to the cartoon, so I was ok with it. For Superion, though, that's never been the case. The toy and the cartoon both presented the limbs as being made out of the actual limb-bots, so I don't really care for it here.
Presumed-official box art for Silverbolt and Slingshot:
Man, I don't think I'll be buying these, but that is some damn nice looking box art. Somehow it looks to me like "what if Marvel Comics had unlimited time and budget for every panel".
Good to know they're ******* them up right out the gate then and can skip them, unless they do recolors I really want.
I like that Silverbolt is the only one standing on anything.
(Because he's afraid of heights.)

Only one I'm interested in right now is Wasp. Maybe Solus, I'll have to see pictures of the actual toy first.
Damnit, don't make me want that!
I mean, it wouldn't be enough to get me to buy another Grimmy, especially since that Wheelie is just an oddly-posed (posed well for riding Grimlock, but not much else) non-transforming figure, but that DOES make me really want a repaint of the SS figure in Wild Boy of Quintessa colors. Give him new David-and-Goliath style slingshot and lightsaber accessories, too!
Menasor was an easy sell because CW Motormaster/the Menasor torso was probably the worst torso out of CW. So sure... do him again, lean into the cartoon style of combination if that's what you gotta do...
But CW Superion/Silverbolt and Bruticus/Onslaught are REALLY good and still hold up. That makes new versions of two complete teams a hard sell already but add in that they're committing to the "frames you shove guys into" model and it's like... no thanks.
That being said, I'm probably all in on everything that's not a Combiner dude or Bluelock.
The Primes all look amazing. Even Solus and her WoW-ass hammer.
