'''Magnaboss''' physically combines [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s ferocity, [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]'s swiftness and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s strength. Having fought together for eons from their time as [[Autobot]]s, their spark fusion into a new persona is a rousing success as well. Magnaboss has Prowl's analytic mind, Ironhide's great courage, and Silverbolt's deep compassion. As a leader, he is inspirational, and as a warrior, he has forged a legend that has made him a symbol of Maximal unity and strength. His weapon of choice, the megaton battle sword, is forged from the combination of all the weapons of Magnaboss's component Transformers.

Magnaboss has been known to include:

===3H comics===
Magnaboss was a member of the [[Maximal High Council]] after the [[Great Reformatting]]. He, along with his fellow council members, disbelieved [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] when he warned them of the threat of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}} He was a [[Matrix Templar]]. Some time later, Magnaboss died, and he and the similarly-deceased [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] were replaced as Templars by [[Sentinel Maximus]] and [[King Atlas]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/18}}

===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===
[[File:DawnOfThePredacus-magnabossvsmegatron.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Before the fursuit.]]

According to one account, Magnaboss was created as a fusion of the three Elders who presided over the [[Maximal Imperium]], in a tactical response to the introduction of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[combiner]] [[Tripredacus]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

According to another account, Magnaboss was created by the [[Autobot]]s as a contingency plan. After [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] died near the end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] circa [[2035]], the provisional "[[Primal Council]]" recruited Perceptor's surviving trooper Unit-3 as a replacement leg. In what would be the final battle of the war, Magnaboss was deployed against [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s rogue contingent. The combiner easily held the line against the [[Decepticon]]s until the [[Tripredacus Council]] surrendered shortly afterwards. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Though he disappeared from public view after the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], a legend arose that he would return at a time when the Maximals needed him most. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

===''Classics''===
When modifying the Autobots' bodies to handle the unstable [[energon]] on prehistoric [[Earth]] of [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|another dimension]], Prowl included a contingency plan, allowing himself, Silverbolt, and Ironhide to merge into Magnaboss. The new ability was first demonstrated when the Autobots, now calling themselves Maximals, were attempting to retrieve their [[Graviton (Classics)|ship]]'s missing energy purifier. Facing [[God Neptune (BWSG)|God Neptune]], the trio merged into Magnaboss. Unfortunately the added power still wasn't enough, and the Maximals were left defeated. {{storylink|Shattered Hope}} Magnaboss briefly formed to again fight God Neptune, only to be soundly defeated by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Gigastorm Armor]]. {{storylink|Shattered Destiny}}

Additionally, a set of stickers for the three mass-retail figures was available at BotCon to enhance both their own and Magnaboss's resemblance to the original ''Beast Wars'' figures.

:Magnaboss is armed with a [[5mm post|5mm]] rifle formed by combining Silverbolt's gun and shield, which can be further expanded by attaching Legends Class [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#Generations|Powerglide]] or one of his mold-mates in gun mode.

Hi, my name is Endermaster (just don’t think, I have to do with Minecraft, just like a nickname), I can not say anything new about myself, I just an ordinary guy, but like everything on this site, I’m a complete geek in the Transformers universe, I have some knowledge to share and hope that here I will be useful (certainly more useful than in all my life affairs), However, I have not yet mastered and therefore, I can’t learned how to edit these damn articles! May the Force McFly & Co. be with me!

Combiner Wars (toyline)

2018-12-16T11:55:46Z

Endermaster81:

{{nav-CombinerWars}}

[[File:CombinerWarsAppCollage.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|The possibilities are almost endless! Sadly, the selection of unique figures is not.]]

'''''Combiner Wars''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, constituting the first portion of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

Debuting at the very end of 2014, it saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends Class figures able to form [[combiner]] robots, primarily of the Scramble City variety that allows the Deluxe figures to be either an arm or a leg, and allowing mix-and-match combinations. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="defus">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe. See the image under "notes" for a comparison.</ref> Deluxes (started by the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' segment) continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, and non-U.S. Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="defus"/> version). However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial U.S.<ref name="defus"/> release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States<ref name="defus"/> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecos and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

The Japanese version of this line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', was considerably smaller, being almost entirely boxed sets released on a very staggered schedule.

===Exclusives===
===="May Mayhem" Deluxes====
These were officially exclusive to online retailers and comic book stores for the United States market (although a few specimens ended up at retail stores), but were available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets. Not counting store-initiated imports, they were never officially available in Canada, Australia or Europe. Regardless of the markets they were released in, Brake-Neck and Quickslinger were only available in English-only packaging including comic books, whereas Groove was only available in multilingual packaging including a character card instead of a comic book.

While these toys premiered at conventions (most prominently [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015), they also ended up available through other venues, like the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store, and even at retail in international markets such as Asia and Australia. See individual entries for more information.

====Fun Publications====
While the figures and sets listed above were all Hasbro-initiated releases, Hasbro licensee [[Fun Publications]] also branded their [[BotCon 2016]] exclusives and the ''[[Transformers Figure Subscription Service]]'' 4.0 and 5.0 figures as part of the ''Combiner Wars'' line (including figures that weren't part of the "combiner" concept), as opposed to the usual ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' branding for previous FunPub exclusives.

===="Special Edition" Deluxe====
In 2018, during the course of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', Hasbro released three exclusive Deluxe Class figures in premium-style boxes, each with a [[Prime Master]], to commemorate the ''Prime Wars Trilogy''. Each figure represents one part of the trilogy, and for ''Combiner Wars'' Hasbro used the ''Unite Warriors'' Blast Off mold. Special Edition Blast Off was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in North America but available at general retail in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

==Notes==
[[File:CombinerWarsPosterAds.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.0|Advertising is stronger when using social media]]
*Early in the toy line's life cycle, Hasbro advertised the figures with two "movie" style posters published on Facebook, alternatively depicting Superion and the Aerialbots, or Menasor and the Stunticons.<ref name="fbads">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/05/24/transformers-combiner-wars-superion-and-menasor-posters-182820 Combiner Wars "movie poster" adverts] at TFW2005</ref> The same artwork was later used for the posters included with the "Generation 2" Superion and Menasor Collection Packs. While awesome in their own right, none of those posters were ever featured at public transport stations, so there was still [[Titans Return (toyline)#Notes|room for improvement]]!
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.7|Clues hidden in a stock photo. What's next? Alternate heads depicted in instructions?]]
*The existence of Legends Class Huffer and the name of Blackjack were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the then unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*In addition, Legends Class Rodimus and Skywarp were accidentally revealed prematurely in January 2015 via official product listings, including stock photos, on the public Hasbro website. This was almost a month before even the wave 3 products of all the main assortments (including Legends Class Groove, Warpath and Viper) would be officially revealed at [[Toy Fair]]. Hasbro quietly pulled the listings for Rodimus and Skywarp from their website and then pretended to "officially" reveal them at [[BotCon 2015]], a whole five months later… by which time they had already been released at retail in Singapore. Whoops.
*The Hasbro product code numbers for the first three waves of Legends Class figures suggest that a different release order was originally planned: Wave 1 would have included Huffer instead of Windcharger, who would have been the sole new figure in the subsequent wave (or, more likely, simply a revision wave), and Blackjack would have been released in the next wave alongside Warpath, Groove and Viper.
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor, and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]], and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
*No wave 2 products of any [[size class]]es of ''Combiner Wars'' were ever officially released in any European markets, with the sole exception of Legends Class Blackjack, who was eventually released as part of a revision of wave 4. Even Motormaster, who was re-released as part of wave 4 of the Voyager Class assortment alongside Battle Core Optimus Prime, was omitted from then European wave 4 case assortment in favor of Silverbolt and Hot Spot. Hooooowever…
* In several instances, Deluxe Class figures appeared in certain markets in packaging not intended for those markets, oftentimes as [[parallel import|imported overstock]]. Those instances include:
**Canadian retailers such as Walmart and Toys"R"Us stocked the wave 4 Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books even ''before'' the "proper" multilingual packaging versions with character cards instead of comic books became available.
**In the United States and other markets that got most Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books, the wave 1 Deluxes were initially only released in multilingual Canadian/Latin American packaging including character cards. This was due to production scheduling problems, and even though Hasbro originally intended to re-release all four figures with comic books (packaged samples exist), ultimately only the comic book version of Dragstrip was released as part of a revision case of wave 2 that saw limited distribution. On top of that, clearance stores such as T.J.Maxx eventually stocked the multilingual Canadian/Latin American character card versions of the wave 4, 5 and 6 figures in late 2016.
**In the United Kingdom and Slovakia, the wave 2 Deluxes (specifically the revision case including Dragstrip) appeared during "silly season" in late 2016 at chains such as Guess How Much! (United Kingdom) and Dráčik (Slovakia) as gray imports in English-only packaging including comic books, making this the first time these figures (minus Dragstrip) were available at European retail, ''long'' after the fact.
**In early 2017, gray imports of the wave 4 Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books also appeared at Intertoys, a Dutch chain with stores in Germany, where they warmed shelves alongside their counterparts in regular European packaging sans comic books. According to the multiple (!) import stickers, these truly went around the world, via China and then the United Kingdom, before ending up in continental Europe!
*Overall, this means Canadian/Latin American packaging is the only packaging version all general retail Deluxes were officially available in.

Combiner Wars (toyline)

2018-12-16T11:54:17Z

{{nav-CombinerWars}}

[[File:CombinerWarsAppCollage.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|The possibilities are almost endless! Sadly, the selection of unique figures is not.]]

'''''Combiner Wars''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, constituting the first portion of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

Debuting at the very end of 2014, it saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends Class figures able to form [[combiner]] robots, primarily of the Scramble City variety that allows the Deluxe figures to be either an arm or a leg, and allowing mix-and-match combinations. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="defus">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe. See the image under "notes" for a comparison.</ref> Deluxes (started by the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' segment) continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, and non-U.S. Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="defus"/> version). However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial U.S.<ref name="defus"/> release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States<ref name="defus"/> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecos and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

The Japanese version of this line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', was considerably smaller, being almost entirely boxed sets released on a very staggered schedule.

{{note|For the US market, each figure from wave 2 on came with a reprint of an [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] comic that supposedly featured the character, but that whole "featured the character" thing didn't always pan out. A comic-book-pack-in variant of Decepticon Dragstrip was later released in a revision of wave 2. Some time later, the full set wave 1 comics (which '''were''' originally solicited for normal retail) were released in a bundle at a Taiwanese comic convention, separate from the figures.}}

===Exclusives===
===="May Mayhem" Deluxes====
These were officially exclusive to online retailers and comic book stores for the United States market (although a few specimens ended up at retail stores), but were available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets. Not counting store-initiated imports, they were never officially available in Canada, Australia or Europe. Regardless of the markets they were released in, Brake-Neck and Quickslinger were only available in English-only packaging including comic books, whereas Groove was only available in multilingual packaging including a character card instead of a comic book.

====Convention multi-packs====
While these toys premiered at conventions (most prominently [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015), they also ended up available through other venues, like the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store, and even at retail in international markets such as Asia and Australia. See individual entries for more information.

====Fun Publications====

===="Special Edition" Deluxe====
In 2018, during the course of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', Hasbro released three exclusive Deluxe Class figures in premium-style boxes, each with a [[Prime Master]], to commemorate the ''Prime Wars Trilogy''. Each figure represents one part of the trilogy, and for ''Combiner Wars'' Hasbro used the ''Unite Warriors'' Blast Off mold. Special Edition Blast Off was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in North America but available at general retail in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

==Notes==
[[File:CombinerWarsPosterAds.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.0|Advertising is stronger when using social media]]
*Early in the toy line's life cycle, Hasbro advertised the figures with two "movie" style posters published on Facebook, alternatively depicting Superion and the Aerialbots, or Menasor and the Stunticons.<ref name="fbads">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/05/24/transformers-combiner-wars-superion-and-menasor-posters-182820 Combiner Wars "movie poster" adverts] at TFW2005</ref> The same artwork was later used for the posters included with the "Generation 2" Superion and Menasor Collection Packs. While awesome in their own right, none of those posters were ever featured at public transport stations, so there was still [[Titans Return (toyline)#Notes|room for improvement]]!
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.7|Clues hidden in a stock photo. What's next? Alternate heads depicted in instructions?]]
*The existence of Legends Class Huffer and the name of Blackjack were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the then unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*In addition, Legends Class Rodimus and Skywarp were accidentally revealed prematurely in January 2015 via official product listings, including stock photos, on the public Hasbro website. This was almost a month before even the wave 3 products of all the main assortments (including Legends Class Groove, Warpath and Viper) would be officially revealed at [[Toy Fair]]. Hasbro quietly pulled the listings for Rodimus and Skywarp from their website and then pretended to "officially" reveal them at [[BotCon 2015]], a whole five months later… by which time they had already been released at retail in Singapore. Whoops.
*The Hasbro product code numbers for the first three waves of Legends Class figures suggest that a different release order was originally planned: Wave 1 would have included Huffer instead of Windcharger, who would have been the sole new figure in the subsequent wave (or, more likely, simply a revision wave), and Blackjack would have been released in the next wave alongside Warpath, Groove and Viper.
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor, and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]], and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
*No wave 2 products of any [[size class]]es of ''Combiner Wars'' were ever officially released in any European markets, with the sole exception of Legends Class Blackjack, who was eventually released as part of a revision of wave 4. Even Motormaster, who was re-released as part of wave 4 of the Voyager Class assortment alongside Battle Core Optimus Prime, was omitted from then European wave 4 case assortment in favor of Silverbolt and Hot Spot. Hooooowever…
* In several instances, Deluxe Class figures appeared in certain markets in packaging not intended for those markets, oftentimes as [[parallel import|imported overstock]]. Those instances include:
**Canadian retailers such as Walmart and Toys"R"Us stocked the wave 4 Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books even ''before'' the "proper" multilingual packaging versions with character cards instead of comic books became available.
**In the United States and other markets that got most Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books, the wave 1 Deluxes were initially only released in multilingual Canadian/Latin American packaging including character cards. This was due to production scheduling problems, and even though Hasbro originally intended to re-release all four figures with comic books (packaged samples exist), ultimately only the comic book version of Dragstrip was released as part of a revision case of wave 2 that saw limited distribution. On top of that, clearance stores such as T.J.Maxx eventually stocked the multilingual Canadian/Latin American character card versions of the wave 4, 5 and 6 figures in late 2016.
**In the United Kingdom and Slovakia, the wave 2 Deluxes (specifically the revision case including Dragstrip) appeared during "silly season" in late 2016 at chains such as Guess How Much! (United Kingdom) and Dráčik (Slovakia) as gray imports in English-only packaging including comic books, making this the first time these figures (minus Dragstrip) were available at European retail, ''long'' after the fact.
**In early 2017, gray imports of the wave 4 Deluxes in English-only packaging including comic books also appeared at Intertoys, a Dutch chain with stores in Germany, where they warmed shelves alongside their counterparts in regular European packaging sans comic books. According to the multiple (!) import stickers, these truly went around the world, via China and then the United Kingdom, before ending up in continental Europe!
*Overall, this means Canadian/Latin American packaging is the only packaging version all general retail Deluxes were officially available in.
