Back in March we got our 1st look at Optimus Maximus promotional art. However it was just a look at the top of his body. While we have yet to see the art in its entirety, we are now somewhat close.
According to Thundershot, the person who leaked the image of Combiner Wars G2 Superion leaked another image showing Ultra Prime. While Ultra Prime isn’t new, the Optimus Maximus promo art(lower body this time) can be seen behind it. This time however, we can now see Combiner Wars Prowl & Combiner Wars Ironhide as the legs for Optimus Maximus. Prowl & Ironhide were listed in store computers months back. Now we get our 1st glimpse at what they may look like.

Oh yeah although if you look at him in IDW now his altmode is a mix of strongarm and rook.
But car yes.

prowl as a car, not a truck

Has to be Prowl surely as a leg.

The blurry one and the new one are exactly the same picture. The Entertainer one has a similar but differently positioned background while the Toyfair one had a completely different one.
Nevermore
Let me post the originals again:

Deadend/Prowl.
Can someone photoshop that into the jigsaw?
Hanzkaz
Anyone recognise the leg?
Nevermore
Thundershot
Well, we do have a listing for Pipes… Not sure if he'll be a Huffer/Optimus remold though.. (wouldn't a Huffer repaint pretty much be Micromaster Overload?).
Edgewise
Nevermind

I would like to see a repaint/retool of combiner wars Huffer as Pipes. I think it would make a better chestplate than the rodimus figure especially since the colors are closer to magnus.

I'm sure you can fanmode him like the Rescue Force combiner. Maybe add Perfect Effect hands and feet as arms?
Thundershot
Yeah… Too bad he'll be missing a couple limbs..

Anyone else want to combiner Silverbolt torso with Ironhide and Prowl and make a Combiner Wars Magnaboss?

Anyone notice that in issue #62 of the TF Club comic Ironhide gets reformatted back into a vehicle mode after returning from the SG Beast Wars, and his body design looks vaguely like a Combiner Wars Off Road now? He had a truck hood on his back, wheels on his legs, shoulder wings, etc, just like this:

Yes I am keeping up with the comics. But I was hoping for a voyager combiner Prowl. I understand the turn the of story…But honestly….Which would you rather have…Devastator…Or badass Prowlstator. I'm sick of seeing G1 homages. This was a completely unexpected concept and at least the MAJORITY who saw it for the first time were like "I. NEED. THIS. NOW!"

Speculation/Assumption. That hole in the middle of the flatbed screams mounting point for Swindle's gun to me.
I can't see them going new mould for Swindle when this is close enough.
I can see this toy ending up as most of the toys you've mentioned above:
Off Road
First Aid
Ironhide
Swindle
Trailbreaker (especially if the car front is retooled to swing onto his robot chest)
and from there
Ratchet
Hoist – with proper towing gear this time please!
Hound
I can see Breakdown being Sideswipe & Red Alert especially if he too gets a swing the car front onto the chest retool. I'd like to see the same adaptation to Dead End to give us the Fairlady Z Triplets and Jazz.
Autovolt 127
I think the same.
That wouldn't make any sense. Sideswipe has not been previously announced for Combiner Wars.
DrGrim
Y'know, part of me wants to be excited for these guys. But another part of me thinks "How many times am I expected to buy these molds now?"

Wish it would actually have a waist like that…
