We've shared with you the individuals in the Combiner Wars line - and today, we bring you the big guns! The Generations Combiner Wars line's first two waves bring us updates of two iconic Generation 1 combiners,
Superion and
Menasor - and they together form this latest gallery update.
The Combiner Wars gestalts are huge. They dwarf even current Leader class toys when they are fully assembled, and possess a full range of motion. It's not perfect - Menasor in particular struggles a bit with the weight of two extra robots up top, and both have issues balancing in some action poses - but it is amazing to see Hasbro step up and bring us something like this, when just a few years ago it looked like the best we would see would be the Power Core Combiners or the likes of Fall of Cybertron Bruticus. Both have some really nice details worked in, too.
Check out our galleries of this pair of awesome giants - and stay tuned for more gallery updates soon.

Genetic of
TFND continues to provide us with early in-hand images of exciting new figures. Today we are treated to an in-depth collection of Ultimate Edition Jetwing Prime in all his glory.
This figure features additional paint apps, tinted windows, semi-articulated hands, a mini Allspark Cube, an entire armory of weapons including: knuckle-busters, Energon swords and hooks, Buster rifle, Striker cannon and more.
As a bit of a Leader Prime aficionado, I can say that this figure looks to hit all the sweet spots with a plethora of accessories and a top-of-the-line paint job (minus the missing pinstriping). If you don't have a Leader Prime in your collection, this looks to be the one to get.
Ultimate Jetwing Prime is scheduled to be released on April 24th.
Secure your preorder for this guy from one of our site sponsors before you miss out:

We have news of a highly anticipated addition to the Legends-class War in Pocket line from third-party producer DX9. Posted on
weibo by user
ToysHome, DX9 has released prototype pictures of their attempt at a miniature Devastator.
So far this is only a partial reveal as the only figures that can been seen are the upper torso and arms of Devastator with the legs conspicuously missing. One thing to note is that this project appears at first glance to incorporate the combiner kibble into the figures for a non-parts-forming combiner.
It's unknown what the price point or anticipated release date will be for this project, but DX9's previous Legends-sized releases have been in two-packs, so it's not unreasonable to expect the same here, although a gift pack release is possible as well.
Make the jump to our boards to discuss this fun-sized project.

An interesting article has popped up on the
Digital Signage Today. The article explains the technology behind the Colombian Transformers: Age Of Extinction Digital Signage Projection; which displayed Transformers related product promos at the Calima shopping mall in Bogotá during the run of the 4th movie.
"LPX worked with projection mapping specialists Big Video, who designed a matrix of six Christie Roadster S+20K (3DLP technology, 20,000 lumens, SXGA+ resolution) and two Christie Roadster S+10K-M (3DLP, 11,500 lumens, SXGA+) projectors. Two S+20Ks were used to cover each side of the façade with the main part divided vertically into two areas, each one covered by one S+20K and one S+10K-M.
The video screened on the façade lasted seven minutes and contained fragments of the movie and promotional contents from the sponsors (General Motors, Hasbro, Oreo, Paramount and the Calima shopping mall). The projection mapping display played four times each night over three days, drawing an average of 350 spectators per show."A recording of the Digital Signboard in action is available for you to watch, after the jump.
