Also, in our first looks at Superion they had Powerglide stuck to the top of his gun. Is that actually possible or was it just more superglue like the rest of the combined figure?

I wasn't aware that any of the Legends Class figures truly could become part of Prime's chest other than Blackjack for Menasor.

Is Powerglide able to combine with Superion's gun? Not sure ... I can check it out though!

Superion's shield thing part of the gun has a 5mm port on the top, so you could probably stick Powerglide there... might try it later

EDIT: ok it works, but is too heavy for the elbows to hold out straight (at least on Skydive)

Hmmm, why no weapons? They've got the 5 mm ports in their fists.

Well, Powerglide turns into a weapon, Thundercracker has his null rays, Bombshell has cannons on his fists, but Windcharger's got excuse (unless one counts his magnetic powers).

Stranger is that Huffer and Blackjack both have weapons included. Weird.

Well, Huffer's got Optimus's rifle since Optimus had two weapons. And Blackjack's weapon plays a part in his forming Menasor's chestplate.

Looking at Bombshell's fists and knees, does it look to anyone else that he was intended to be a targetmaster weapon of a gestalt?

Would you say the same about the Jetfire mold?
Nah, they had to heavily remold the thing pull that off. But the end result of that is cool, too.

But the Legends figure, that's straight up Guido Guidi Thundercracker.

So true! its an amazing rendition of the artwork. We have been accustomed to this design being Thundercracker for a little while now and frankly he owns this mold/form. Even the Jetfire retool looks great. I will certainly be picking up both.

Indeed. IDW has made its version of G1 Thundercracker so compelling that I want both the Legend and the Leader.

Honorable 'Cons are always cool.

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest galleries: Combiner Wars Blackjack and Huffer!

Blackjack is an all new mold in the Legends Class size, meant to be incorporated into the combined form of Menasor, as the chest piece armor. (Because Motormaster shares his mold with Optimus Prime, Prime's chest can also use Blackjack.) Whether he's just a piece of chest armor, a really killer looking vehicle, or just a robot with a bad attitude, Blackjack is a little Decepticon packin' quite a punch.

His wave mate, Huffer, is a slight remold and extensive redeco of the Generations Legends Class Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, Huffer does not come with a partner robot like Optimus did. Both figures are currently shipping from overseas retailers, trickling into US e-tailers and should be at retail very shortly.

Will you be adding them to your collection? Check out their galleries by clicking on the images below, then come back to forums to share your thoughts with us!

I'm liking these little dudes!

Looks like Blackjack's combiner ports are the standard 5mm. :-?

While I like the size i hate Blackjack's head. I wish they used the Rodimus head. I hate faceplates.

by **Rated X** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 5:43 am

Just curious how you get these so early ? Do you pay those crazy ebay prices from Chinese sellers with factory hook ups ?

I thought I heard that the figure was originally supposed to be Runabout, (the head and chest do match him better), but was changed at the last minute. I'm glad they made him Blackjack, but yeah, I wish they would've went with a different face.

Oddly enough, I like faceplates. Whether or not this was supposed to be Runamuck, I'm glad it's Blackjack instead.

I am really digging Blackjack. I'd still love to see a repaint in red as Chase...I'll probably keep saying that until it happens too!

Huffer is an easy pass for me...there is just something about that figure that I am not into. The PCC version still works great for my collection.

I'm totes getting Blackjack, but only to beef up the Decepticon Legends' ranks, since it's been found that Menasor's torso still looks like it has the car-chestplate-thing. That, and I'm hoping Blackjack's axe is capable of forming a proper hilt for Menasor's sword.

I was thinking about Huffer, but... I think if I see him in-stores, I'd probably get him. But, as it stands, I don't need a third version of this mold, even if it's the most adorable thing ever.

As you can tell, I'm a faceplate kind of guy, myself.

rager is still my huffer representative in my C/G minobots line-up, but ill still get CW huffer since i never actually got the original legends prime. still curious about the mold.

If that truck grill on Huffer's back could have come up just a little higher, he could have had at least a nod to the original "hood."

As the first Leader class figures start appearing at retail, let us not forget about Generations Combiner Wars wave 1 in its entirety - specifically, the Voyager Optimus Prime (possibly) retool and redeco, leader of the Stunticons and main part of gestalt combiner Menasor: Motormaster!

The new Voyager figure is allegedly intended as the Decepticon counterpart to Superion in the upcoming IDW comics event Combiner Wars, though only one of the limbs is currently available for purchase, Dragstrip. It also comes with a gun and sword - which can be combined into a larger sword, new headsculpts for robot and gestalt mode, and is compatible with most Legend and Deluxe class figures from the line.

i love his bot mode. combiner mode looks off, but im confident those legs can be tweaked to make him look less dwarf'y.

by **RiddlerJ** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 12:27 pm

It would've been neat if they sculpted his feet to look like little truck halves.

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 12:40 pm

I've been thinking about this pretty much since we first saw images: can Blackjack's weapon be used as a sword hilt for Menasor, or are there no attachment ports? :-?
