Video Review for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Leader Skywarp

william-james88 wrote:Fellow Seibertronian Death has a video review for one of the latest figures in the Generations "Combiner Wars" line: Leader Skywarp, a redeco of Starscream. Enjoy!



Are any of you getting these leader Seekers? And how do you find the use of the Jetfire mold for them? Let us know!

so far we've yet to see those turn up in physical stores in the UK! at the moment it's just Magnus that's shelfwarming in places like TRU & Smyths Toys. btw i take it those seekers are the last of the CW Leader Class line before we go onto the Titan Wars stuff?

Yeah, thats the main assumption. And its weird since that mold is not even from the Combiner Wars line. In the end, Combiner Wars only had 2 fully new leader molds: Megatron and Ultra Magnus.

neither was Skrapnel(i think?) & we're getting a repaint of that mold as Chopshop

as for Magnus....his heavy remold/repaint as Powermaster Optimus Prime looks very interesting

Well don't feel badly - I still haven't seen Magnus on the shelf in ANY stores. So you've even beaten Death to the punch in that regard

It was a pleasure! Chuck says the views of the video even if posted here should count towards youtube.

Thanks! As Death, I'm new to this whole 'interwebz' thing, so I may be doing something wrong. The youtube page where the review is posted is at 250 views. Perhaps the millions of hollow tubes (which I am told the interwebz is made of) are clogged....

I believe there is a different between number of times the video is seen and how many times it is seen on youtube. But when it comes to income and youtube's own record of views, they count wherever it is posted. We can wait till Chuck clarifies this if ever he sees this post.

If you are talking about the 5,000 views of the news post, it doesn't mean all those people actually watched the video.

Just scroll down this very page to see who is online and you will see that a good portion of them are bots.

Yeah what he said. I've had posts with my videos break the tens of thousands only to never break 1000 views. Such the way the cookie crumbles.

Funny: Just saw TC and Magnus for the first time in stores over the weekend. Taking forever to see them here!

i have a hard time transforming combiner wars leader class ultra magnus' legs back to robot mode. they seem to get caught with the lower blue tab in the corner ,and i don't want to force it. it already has a thick stress mark on each leg on the back when i was transforming him to vehicle mode. does anyone have this problem? thank you

It's universal, pretty much. You gotta take a knife and shave it down.

thanks for your answer. i'm going to have to buy an xacto knife and scrape once each time then try to see if it goes in more easily after each scrape. of course not forcing it to go in. do you think i should use the blow dryer to get rid of the stress mark or will it warp the plastic by doing so?

when i shaved the two pegs on combiner wars ultra magnus with the exacto knife it doesn't do the snapping sound when i transform him to car carrier like at first but it does do the snapping sound when i put the side peg to the hole on the side of the leg when I transform him back to robot. will that still cause stress on where it rotates on back of the leg or did i fixed it? thank you

Megatron is still shelf warming in my area. I hope I can find a Starscream soon

Leader Armada Megs is still shelf warming here. I have yet to see more than the G1 Megatron I bought

Armada Megs is shelf-warming here as well.

Cyclonus was also shelf-warming in the 3 TRUs and the 2 K-Marts closest to me, but only until I had gotten everything else and decided I NEEDED a Cyclonus/Galvatronus. Now of course he has vanished from every store in very short order

I am hoping to snag Armada Megs at a much reduced price down the road but the Cyclonus fiasco has me nervous about my chances.

I have yet to see Cyclonus in the wild, but armada megs is sticking around. shouldnt need to worry too much about him going

well the last time that i was in TRU(Glasgow, UK) which was fairly recently btw they have Armada Megs, Magnus & Cyclonus. Meanwhile in the Smyths Toys near me....they have Ultra Magnus in plentiful supply shelfwarming.


still no sign of Thundercracker & Skywarp on the shelves here in Scotland yet though
