I must ask though: why make him a combiner?! Now we can't stop him boasting at how much more awesome he (thinks he) is! Shame his components are all retools:
Wheeljack: shell retool of Breakdown
Hound: head retool of Swindle, who is a shell retool of Rook
Smokescreen: head retool of Streetwise
Trailbreaker: head retool of Offroad
Sky Lynx will stay separate on my shelf, that's all I'll feed his ego with.
Bruticus looks good, even with Blast Off as a mere jet. No doubt TakaraTomy will made him a Space Shuttle (NO Alpha Bravo retool please!). Pretty clever with reversing Hot Spot for Onslaught, and making Swindle of out Rook.
All in all, I'm gonna skip Optimus Maximus and Sky Reign, but try and get the rest.

Seeing a beastie/mech, Sky Lynx, gives me hope for beastie/mech combiners. I can see replacing the Sky Lynx altmode neck/head with two and Lynx had two tails, just make them longer.
There's Hun-gurrr for the Terrorcons and Abominus.

It's a straight repaint of Alpha Bravo from what I can tell.

Nope, only as complete sets. So for both Groove and possible Shuttle Blast Off, prepare to pay through the nose.

Why change what's already perfect?

Pretty great stuff, only overshadowed by Takara's reveal of MP Ironhide. I'm really glad that Combiner Wars will be continuing for another year, not that I really had doubts.
I'm really excited for Bruticus even though Blast Off ended up not being a space shuttle. Strange, because there was so much speculation that they could retool Alpha Bravo into a shuttle. Honestly though, a fighter jet makes MUCH more sense as part of a military combiner team. The other members look amazing and spot on. So the running change will happen midway to give us both cartoon and toy colors for his chest plate? I'll be hoping to pick up the grey version because it looks better to me.
Other hightlights:
Shockwave - He'll be tiny but it'll be nice to finally have a Shockwave for my Generations shelf.
Wreck-Gar - Already have the Generations toy but I'll probably get him as another Junkion.
Sky-Lynx - Totally unexpected and looks really cool. Ill be viewing the combiner mode as an add-on. It'll give somewhere for all the wayward bots to go since I don't plan on picking up Cyclonus.
Out of the rest, Wheeljack, Prowl, and Hound are pretty tempting. Especially Wheeljack because that mold fits him really well. But I already have more accurate versions of these characters on my shelf, so I'll likely pass.
Oh, and Buzzsaw. Looks cool but I'll probably wait for the inevitable Laserbeak repaint.
Posted by Nemesis Maximo on June 20th, 2015 @ 2:16pm CDT
Of course, it figures that they would use my least favorite Aerialbot for Blast-off, but I like that he's a jet instead of a shuttle. Makes sense.
And Brawl looks boss. And Swindle looks boss. And Onslaught looks boss. Heck, the whole damn thing is BOSS.

WHAT A LOVELY DAY
ETERNAL SHINY AND CHROME (or not, I don't mind)
Posted by Wolfman Jake on June 20th, 2015 @ 2:26pm CDT
By the way, does anyone else find it interesting that Hasbro is doing Bruticus with all five original members instead of replacing one with a new team member, as they've been doing all along this year, especially considering that Swindle just died in the IDW comics?

Sky Reign sounds like something Starscream - or Rattrap - would come up with, though it would also mean crossing the streams of all three ongoings to get the characters in one place. And not sure I'd like that.

Perhaps this starts answering the question, by distancing the comics from the toys once again.
Either that, or what we saw is not actually what happened (which was my initial reading of the scene, anyway!).

Posted by Va'al on June 20th, 2015 @ 2:37pm CDT
Mini Shockwave is also adorable!
And in fact, may further reinforce the idea that Bruticus will have very little to do with the comics after all. Shockwave has been gone since Dark Cybertron, after all.

I suspect Takara will come to our rescue...again. I also want them to fix Vortex's colors. I know the yellow and red details are toy accurate, as is Hasbro's usual modus operandi, but they look awful. I'd rather the most subdued pallet of the G1 cartoon model.
Posted by Mkall on June 20th, 2015 @ 2:48pm CDT
Fantastic shot as always! That Bruticus looks amazing.
It's cool that we're getting a Sky Lynx, but I'll stick with my Titan Class one, thanks.
Posted by Convoy on June 20th, 2015 @ 2:51pm CDT
I just want a mini Shockwave (I think Takara might add a little lilac.) for whatever Bruticus I pick up.
Where's Kickback!?

While we might have guessed a lot of these molds, way to the US for a loop with Brawl and Swindle. Plus, Swindle is a Stryker-like APC, which makes me think fondly of an old Swindle-as-Drebin movieverse bio I once worked up.

Are the Soundwave rumours also being sort of kind of confirmed..?
Posted by Yweggo on June 20th, 2015 @ 3:05pm CDT
Also, is it just me or is Sky Lynx retooled from Silverbolt? His combined form looks like it to me. Granted I don't have Silverbolt so I can't say for sure.

It'd be cool, so long as it doesn't use that god-awful op/motormaster mold; at this point though (with the (pseudo) reveal of Blaster)mare we assuming he'll be a repaint of blaster just for ease of re-purposing these companion figures?

He is (99%) most-assuredly a new mold, having both cyclonus and silverbolt looking at me and the gallery pics of Skyreign brought up. If it is, its a complete gutting of the figure ala rid arcee => chromia, except more.

That latter part wpuld make a lot more sense, yes. Perhaps Soundwave on Jupiter will have something of the new body, too. Hmm.

SKYLYNX IS SO FABULOUS, HANDSOME AND CHARMING HE DESERVES HIS OWN PARAGRAPH!
HASBRO YOU HAVE WON EVERYTHING TODAY WELL DONE! HELL EVEN CHANGING BLASTOFF INTO A JET IS A GOOD IDEA! (why there was a space shuttle in the COMBATicons is baffling? puts AlphaBravo into perspective!). WITH TARAKA'S IRONHIDE AND PRIMAL I'M GONNA BE ON A TRANSFORMERS BUZZ FOR WEEKS!
You can tell I'm exited, pretty much everything's in capitols!

Isn't Hasbro giving us BOTH colorations though? G1 cartoon AND G1 toy accurate Combaticons at retail?
I love Blast Off as a fighter jet, I just wish they retooled him and Vortex. They could've used one helicopter retool for one of the Victorion helicopters and Vortex and Alpha Bravo/Blades for the other Victorion Helicopter.
I also think that a retool of First Aid would've suited Trailbreaker better as he had the enclosed back but I'm ok with Offroad for Ironhide though because of TFP. They could've then used Offroad for Hoist as the fist on the back kinda looks like a towing device of some sort. Oh well, I missed both Generations Trailbreaker and Hoist so I'll get Trailbreaker without a doubt and if they do Hoist, I'll get him too. Who am I kidding, I'll get all the Autobots regardless. I've just always loved the Scramble City styling. That and my Universe Ironhide's and Prowl's paint got all crappy so I need new ones anyway.
Am I the only one who loves that Chopshop can use his Targetmaster self as a weapon just like Waspinator? So if they truly plan on completing teams then Kickback should be soonish after Chopshop hopefully. Then a Ransack repaint/tool of Kickback and a Barrage repaint/tool of Bombshell. So where does that leave Venom? A retool of Kickback and/or Ransack?
I think I'm going to have to cut myself off at the "leader" class Seeker trio. I would've gotten Voyagers no problem but these I may have to pass on unless I find them on sale like I did Grimlock, Jetfire and Armada Megatron.
Oh yeah I almost forgot. I absolutely LOVE that Sky Lynx. I might have to get two, one for itself and the other for combining.
And why oh why couldn't they have at least changed that all white prime into white with red legs instead of grey? Red legs would've been all it really needed to be so close to a Thunderclash homage. Sure there's a lot of navy and teal missing but the red legs would've looked so good on it especially with Hot Rod as the chest.

I honestly don't see it; what made you think it was a re-mold?

Bruticus and Sky Reign look excellent, but because I don't want to end up with too many Combiners (I'm trying to downsize and streamline my collection) I can't see myself getting both teams. Swindle and Onslaught are the only Combaticons I like as stand-alone figures and Brawl is okay, but Vortex and Blast Off feel like no effort was put into them.
Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Smokescreen, Wheeljack and Battle Core Optimus don't appeal to me, so I might use Ironhide, Prowl and Mirage as Sky Reign's limbs instead, and have Sky Reign be the rival of Menasor (the only complete Combiner Wars combiner I have).
I am a bit sad that there's no Ratchet from the Offroad/First Aid mould (I'd pick Ratchet over Trailbreaker any day) and nothing from Titan Wars was shown or even teased (though I suppose that's what SDCC is for), I'm generally satisfied with what was shown at BotCon.

To be fair, of the available molds, he would probably use the one for Defensor, and then have a near-identical paint scheme, it would probably feel (to the fans) really underhanded. as for vortex, we knew this was coming, wish they had made it so the missiles didn't look like a glob of bright yellow plastic on such a muted color scheme; really wouldn't have minded a departure from toy accuracy there.
