Looking for the fourth limb to your Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Superion? Look no further than Hasbro's Air Raid, according to fellow Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999! And if you don't believe us reporting it, read on below for their opinion, and check out the video review of the missing Aerialbot embedded below.

This is it, the final member of the Aerialbots, and the final limb for Superion. Air Raid is probably my favorite limb since the jet mode reminds me of the Skystriker from GI Joe. Transformation is very similar to the rest of the team right down to the fantastic hinged leg joints. If you're a fan you've probably already have this figure on order, hope it comes to you real soon.

Thanks for sharing, big thank you for not showing articulation as you said you see one transformation you see it all same with articulation seen once deluxe, voayger, leaders, legion class all move same way regardless on character just differnt transformation and look I wander about wings in jet mode if it would actually move as real jet in top gun movie wasn't expecting wings to be able to have that big range of movement in jet mode

You can add BC to that list as well.

If it's on their robot mode butts, then it's to allow one to attach the toys to display stands that allow the toys to be posed dynamically in midair.

Something occurred to me last night.

Considering that we are getting some all-new non-traditional combining robots here... People like Cyclolus and Prime and Alpha Bravo...

Considering that they aren't locking themselves just into 'the way they should be...' and thinking outside the box....

I can not express how much I would LOOOOOOOVE to see the original Dinobots show back up. Slag, Swoop, Grimlock, Sludge, and Snarl as a 5-bot combiner...

I don't know what their big bot form would look like...

But I REEEEEALY want to see this happen!!! :grin:

Actually starting this year I'm not focusing on articulation since I've noticed many a great toy being derided because it can't move like a master Yogi.

I think its just yours. Toysrus in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have had the first wave for about a month now. Though always in limited quantity so they do sell out fast.

Yeah, its weird. I'm in Toronto, and the TRU is at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton, a pretty major area. It might just be that they are getting such limited quantities in that I keep getting screwed. I have seen (and bought) Silverbolt, and then I saw Optimus, Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly once each, and not at the same time either, but didn't have the ability to get them. And ever since I got my Silverbolt its been high-and-dry. It doesn't help though that the store still has a glut of AOE deluxes and Voyagers and Leaders they keep putting on ever cheaper clearance, and oddly a Predaking from Prime that just sits there on the shelf all alone.

The one part of the video review I wanted to see was glossed over as a joke, great. This would be the comic inside - it is important to me to know which damn issue it is as it could be something not published elsewhere therefore (potentially, and speculatively) delaying the wide release of these.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999, we've been able to determine what IDW Publishing Transformers comics will be packed in with Wave 2 onwards (and retroactively the first wave) of the deluxes in the Combiner Wars toy line! In a strange twist, rather than including comics from the actual Combiner Wars storyline, they feature issues from the pre-Dark Cybertron era - so far, at least. Check out below the synopses and confusing numbering from Offroad, Air Raid and Dead End, showing the very beginning of gestalt technology in Phase 2 of the IDW universe: Megatron's return, the control of Prowl, and the start of Prowlestator!

Retroactively in Wave 1? Damn, now I feel gypped, since I have Wave 1 without comics.

Re: Video Review - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid (1657182)
Posted by Agamemnon on February 28th, 2015 @ 12:09pm CST

So, wait... those of us who purchased the first batch of wave 1 will need to purchase a second set to get the comics? That's a bit crummy...

[edit]Sniped by albnok. I'm with you on this feeling. I realize I could just purchase the comics from my comic shop, but the completionist in me is not liking this... I'll prolly buy two sets of Wave 1...

Re: Video Review - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid (1657184)
Posted by ScottyP on February 28th, 2015 @ 12:12pm CST

Thanks for the info! Odd way to do it but almost certainly due to the comic scheduling and not wanting to push out issues not due until next month way too early.

Re: Video Review - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid (1657188)
Posted by Sabrblade on February 28th, 2015 @ 12:19pm CST

Glad I've withheld from picking up Wave 1 so far.

But then again, I've done so because I'm holding out for Takara's Superion instead.

Though, it is weird that the issues aren't Combiner Wars ones and are instead from pre-Dark Cybertron RID.

Yup, it's been confirmed by Hasbro the first assortments lacked the comics (well, used the multilingual packaging for the US instead of the English-only one) due to production timing issues.

The weird part to me is the "pre-Dark Cybertron" part. I doubt IDW would want Wave 2 to have CW issues, as that would mean that things planned to come out in April (Windblade CW 2, and RiD CW2) could hit in March as pack-ins. However, why they don't have say, TF/xRiD 35-38 which directly lead into CW, I'm not sure.

Re: Video Review - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid (1657199)
Posted by Randomhero on February 28th, 2015 @ 12:53pm CST

This is a really good idea since combiner wars hasn't been released yet for IDW. I was a bit worried the first 4 out of 6 issues would be coming out with the toys before they've been released by the publisher. I also thought maybe it'd be one issue by wave. Part one is wave 2 then part 2 comes with each protectobot and so on.

My guess is that the Prowlestator/Megatron combination beginning of story is essentially seen as the seeding of Combiner Wars in general. It is the reason that Starscream wants Superion active again, and Devastator!Prowl is essentially the reason for the entire thing going down after all.

But, just a guess.

Okay so just so I get somethings on the straighter end of the spectrum. Is the first wave going to be re-released for them to have the proper comics for US distribution, instead of the cards for international retail.?

More like the figures carried over from Wave 1 into the next will have the comics. Remember, while we denote only the new figures, later assortment will mix in older figures as well.

Sorry for the joke Scotty. While I personally don't believe in spoilers I know a ton of people on the net do and when it comes to views I can't afford to piss anybody off. Also I'm not 100% sure reading/showing the comic in a video is ok due to copyrights and all.

My understanding is that the first wave will have the Dark Cybertron issues and the second wave onwards will have Combiner Wars proper. I don't really know, I don't follow the comics. Though I've been wanting to get into them.

The comics shown in this news post, however, are from the second wave of figures (though the first wave to have comics), and are all pre-Dark Cybertron issues.

The cheapest way to get into the comics is to buy the hard covers. There is Phase 1, volumes 1 - 8 and Phase 2, volume 1 (so far) with volume 2 coming out in a few more months.

I think what Coptur is saying is that the idea of our favorite old Dinobots combining is a bad idea because it ruins their characterization. They're stubborn loose cannons held together by Grimlock because he's the Alpha Dino that could beat them all up, and they're so strong they don't have any need to combine together into a larger robot because they can take anything out anyway. This obviously doesn't always pan out for them in G1 but in their own minds, this is the case.

In other words, Dinopope = cool! Combining Grimlock, Slag, Snarl, Sludge, and Swoop? Please, no. Never.

And if you think that if Dinobots were to be on the Decepticon side we'd be in a heap of trouble, nope:
