Well the Combaticons are wave 4, right? They're not supposed to come out until March 2016, so I guess the Protectobots will come out in about 2 months in regular stores. But they should be available online much sooner.
I've seen the Protectobots in Target recently. I think they should be out in the states, anyway... Not sure where you are Rodimus Prime...
Yeah, they were already found in stores in both Canada and US. However, unlike Wave 1 and 2, I havent seen them replenish this wave as much. Dont know why. And Optimus Maximus and the autobots are wave 4. Combaticons are Wave 1 2016.

Come on! Combining is mainly a Decepticon thing, and we have 2 full Autobot teams with Optimus Maximus, Sky Reign and "Betatron" on the way, but only Menasor and Bruticus as Decepticons. Why?
Well, they are making the combaticons. And while I could argue that combining is both an Autobot and Decepticon thing, I do see where you are coming from with the Decepticons having the most prominant combiners (Devastator and Predaking). As far as scramble city goes for decepticons that appeared on the show, the only decepticon combiner missing would be abominus right? And Hasbro said they are only making vehicle alt mode combiners (more redeco and retool opportunities, they didnt say that last part though). So Aside from Abominus, which decepticon is missing that was on the show and used the scramble city style of combining?
So in the end it's fair. We have Superion and Defensor and their 2 decepticon rivals. Plus Devastator. So there are all the Decepticons we need, no? I guess the only thing that wouldnt be fair is how the autobots now have Betatron, but I dont feel thats anything the decepticons should be jealous about
I know you guys can count the 2 extra autobot combiners but since they are new for this line, I dont really count them. Or you can see it as the autobots needing to combine to defeat Devastator especially since there are no decent Generations Dinobots to lend them a hand

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were done as part of the Generations line before Combiner wars. There are/were artwork pics of a Bumblebee based on Blackjack on the Transformers App
Yeah and they are perfectly in scale and not that hard to find:

That sounds so....dirty
