With all the banter of the Transformers Legacy Stunticons going on, the Daily Prime looks back at the 2015 Transformers Combiner Wars Motormaster that was a retool of Combiner Wars Optimus Prime voyager class figure. They gave him a his signature head along with a generous silver sword weapon to accommodate the Meansor combiner mode. Click Image to Read the Full News Story Now

I found this on Amazon. Not entirely sure that it is just released, but it's the first I've heard of it.

Thanks for the heads up. I was tempted to pick that jet pack for Sideswipe but I wasn't sure it'd work. Fun fact the Rocket Pack that comes with the KBB MP-10V (Not Optimus) sort of fits perfectly on siege Sideswipe: I haven't yet tried it on Kingdom. Cool photo btw: that's quite the talent and the eye. And speaking of the MP-10V, have you seen that? I picked it up years ago when I was looking for a good voyager sized Optimus. It's a pretty amazing shrunk down MP-10. I have the trailer and everything. It's basically the reason I haven't purchased a siege or kingdom Optimus, it's just so good. There's a few flaws but I'm overall happy with it and all its accessories. And even though it's not Hasbro/Takara I highly recommend it to anyone that likes Optimus Prime figures. The KBB MP10V is one of those third party figures that beat Hasbro/Takara to the market (I try not to pick up third party otherwise). Can't wait for the G2 Stunticon photos!

Big Lots has them as we speak. I got the 2 pack with prime and starscream & prime and bumblebee 2 days ago I believe

To each their own. Although you make a good point, what's up with the melee weapons? Bringing a pipe to a gun fight just seems a little unwise and maybe crazy. That said it probably fits Wild Riders personality: and really all their personalities and they way they framed the Stunticon combat tactic of ramming the autobots in vehicle mode. That FF8 style gunblade that came with Breakdown/Sunstreaker/Wheeljack ect. was just so much fun.

Sure right, What I was curious more about was wondering, artist to artist, where the Break-Neck / Wild Rider wonderfulness was? Also showing the 7 bot Stunticon team gives a possible bonus to the CW concept: pushing the theory that there are things about CW that give it benefits over what the Legacy version may include. Maybe it's just a person preference thing, but I've fan moded a way to combine all 7 Stunticons in to Mensor, keeping the total team together is my thing. Also, if you don't have the Break-Neck / Wild Rider "wonderfulness" I'd highly suggest picking one up someday. 🙂

Nice photo, the execution looks great. I was just curious. Any reason that "Wild Rider" was left out of the family photo? And what's with the weapon swapping, is it just a preference thing? Also, how are the G1 style guns; do they work well: are they sized nicely and fit will into the hands, do they look good?

I'm pumped about Legacy Stunticons coming out, but, while I loathe the Menasor, I still kind of like this team for CW. I got all of the upgrades, from new guns based off G1 for each Stunticon, to cannons for their alt. modes, and everything else. It's still an okay set, in my eyes.

I feel the same way about the Drone too. But the one thing that really bugs me about not having it is the jet back. I really want one for my Kingdom Sideswipe. I've been looking for a good alternative to it: I have the black-version Sixgun and was cool with using that with siege Sideswipe, but when I tried to transfer it to the kingdom I found the connection to be very loose. So now I'm on the lookout for a reasonable drone or a third party rocket pack. And what is it with those scalpers anyway. I conceptually understand the concept of supply and demand but wow: $100+ for something that should cost $20-$30, upwards of 5 times the cost is just crazy, to me. Maybe Break-Neck will go down in price after the Legacy Wildrider is shown, or around the time the whole team is. Hopefully you can get one for a good price when the demand goes down. Sometimes I wonder why Hasbro doesn't do more re-issues.
