Combiner Wars seems to be moving a bit faster as more in-hand images have surfaced; this time we get a glimpse at the upcoming Wave 6 deluxes along with Voyager Scattershot in his Betatron torso mode! Thanks to Planet Iacon’s Facebook page, we now have in-hand shots of CW Smokescreen in both robot and alt mode as well as Scattershot combined with Wheeljack, Hound, Smokescreen, and Trailbreaker.
Could this mean a change in schedule for Scattershot’s release? Are you picking up any of the wave 6 deluxes or Scattershot when they eventually hit shelves? Check out the pics after the jump and sound off in the discussion with your thoughts by clicking the link!

Combiner Wars Sky-Byte from Drag Strip… it needs to happen.

You sure about that?

Don't give them any ideas because it may end with Alpha Bravo mold retooled for everything.

I don't think a car mold would be a good shark either QuizzicalXenon, but wouldn't it be possible for the Seacons, Terrorcons, and Predacons, to share their beast-based molds?
Deluxe Seawing, Cutthroat, and Divebomb could share a "flyer" mold, while the other Deluxe four-legged guys could share a mold with some different animal heads and feet/hooves/fins, while Razorclaw could be re-tooled into Hun-Gurr and Snaptrap. It could be a whole "Beast" wave of combiners!
It wouldn't be impossible, but I don't think Hasbro is going in that direction.
Quizzical Xenon
Maybe 'cause, oh I don't know, the fact that it's physically impossible to make a shark out of a fucking sports car.

Exactly!

YES!

Streetwise was always off white. More of a grey in the original G1 toy.

Same here, i have no particular love for the 84 and 85 cars in their Cartoon or Marvel depictions and would still keep the beautifull Universe Sideswipe and Prowl for my IDW shelf, but i would love it if anyone (Hasbro, Takara, Fun Pub, some Knock Off company…) produced Sideswipe and Red Alert from CW Breakdown and Bluestreak from Smokescreen, because the Universe guys look ridiculously tall compared to the Seeker mold. And since i'm somewhat of a completist when it comes to my G1 cartoon/fanfic collection, i'd like to be able to replace them by somewhat less intimidating versions

The Universe2 Headsculpt is great compared to the quality of the deco on the Universe2 toy!

Just do not ignore the TT line.
TT has not announce the Sky Reign set, Combaticon yet.
Obviously half of us are predicting that we will have a New blast off just like DX Groove.
In usually case, TT UW's paint job is better.
Before you said about Predaking, Terricon, Seacon
You needed to understand the logic of Hasbro CW
All Torso/limbs frame structure can be the same/slightly different.
All the molds can do retools/repaint to different beasts/creatures.
For example: Rhino<->Bull
Doing unique limbs/frame for individuals would cost a lot of money.

Red Alert in particular would work an easy Sideswipe/Breakdown redeco, one that I'd want very much. I like the Universe versions but having all three countach bots in this form would be great, since I myself prefer the proportions on these to the somewhat lanky Universe/Generations figures.

Why does hasbro have something against white plastic..they keep using this off white garbage ie silverbolt ultra magnus and streetwise…who tweaks the figs? The renders were very nice smh…
wearelegion69
You really find Universe Smokescreen's headsculpt better than this one?
artiepants
Something seems really off on the headsculpts of all these guys. Just not feeling any of 'em, plus they all have infinitely better Classics versions already (well, Trailbreaker's not really that much better, but still better…)

WTF is up with the Creepy kids saying ROBOTS IN DISGUISE…. it's just wrong.

HELLO, Thundershot…. I am actually working on a CW Grapple at the moment! I am retooling a spare Hotspot that I picked up. Mobile Cranes have Hotspot's wheel config more than fire trucks do.
Grapple will combine with his fellow Autobot Reinforcements Team: Red Alert, Smokescreen, Hoist, and Tracks to form the Gestalt: Grapplicus Maximus.
I was 9 when this commercial aired! And look, flying Autobots! (I remember they flew in bot mode in the pilot episodes)

Hell, why not peck out 1985 with one more wave..
Tracks, Skids, Hoist, Red Alert and Grapple as the big guy.

If Wheeljack does end up having that little paint than what was originally shown, that'd be really disappointing. Granted, I still wasn't buying it (since I have Generations WJ), but it looked promising.
I still like Smokescreen, and he honestly looks a bit better in terms of proportions than the Universe toys. He's not as good as I love Prowl (they did an outstanding job on him IMO), but he gets the job done.
Hell, one more wave of Autobots with an Inferno or something would knock out the '84 carbots.
Wave ???:
-Sideswipe (Breakdown redeco with new chest)
-Bluestreak (Dead End redeco with Prowl head and chest)
-Jazz (Dead End redeco with new head?)
-Ratchet (Ironhide/First Aid with Ironhide head redeco)
Maybe they'll pull what they did before and make it free.

Yeah, but still, the deco on Wheeljack could change before the final release.
