The Transformers Hong Kong Facebook community page has shared a new promotional video for the Combiner Wars toy line. This action packed video shows off the Combiner Wars toys in motion through some awesome computer animation sequences. If this doesn’t get you hyped about this line, I don’t know what will.
This is definitively a great way to get more people excited for the toyline, and we hope this will be shown on TV and other popular venues to reach a wider audience. Before that happens though, check out the clip and tell us what you think on the boards!

I agree. Whatever shown on the boxart are merely suggested/possible /potential form. Toys are meant to be played creatively rather than by the book anyway.

There isn't really an "official" combination, they're supposed to mix-and-match, that's the entire underlying point of the gimmick.

What even is the official Superion combination? I swear it's like Hasbro can't make up their minds.

I feel like that's not true?

Umm Didn't you guys here?
Apparently commercials like these have been BANNED from TV, Any commercial based on a TV show cannot be aired on american televison because it "Forces the parents to buy the product for their kids"
I know that Combinder wars isn;t a show but tell that to the idiocy that is the PTA

Yet they're way more characterful and smooth in their movements, and the kibble on them even bounces around. Plus, what no backgrounds? What about that destroyed city?
Dude realtalk? The diagnostic drone had more nuance and fluidity than RID's animation. RID looks awful. The animation is stilted, the pallete is bland, the backgrounds are uninspired. the entire show is mid-to-low quality.
Heck yes I agree with both points! Cybertron figs were bricks without being bricks, y'know?
It'll probably air eventually, HK usually gets stuff first.

It's really bizarre how these commercials have better CGI than the cartoons.
The cel-shading animation looks gorgeous. If Energon had looked like that all the time. I could forgive it's shitty plot.

courage is stronger when combined… f**k that sounds worse when someone actually says it.

Superions extra paint apps on that CG look good – gonna go crack out a silver paint marker now

easily the best toy commercial in years

What's with all the hate against RID's animation? It's high quality.
Must be that people didn't get a Combiner Wars show and are personally offended by that.

ya, that's just taste of these toys that people/we need. Very fun, despite being short. This vid would have been (although still is) a sure thing to encourage me to buy these toys. As all, on this forum, I knew about these ahead of time and of course bought them.

You mean the super link clip or superion commercial? Galaxy force and Cybertron did have wicked sick build quality to their toys. I actually have all the cybertron series bar nemesis breaker I even have a metroplex misb
About the Combiner Wars commercial it was what Transformers in America NEEDS! Advertising goes a long way when done right. I approve

That was pretty damn awesome!

Neat ad! Wonder why American TV won't run TF commercials like this?
No, that was terrible!

I am sorry, guys, but as cool as that cgi, I still cant get over this. XD
Cool commercial by the way. I was actually expecting some old stop.motion. Damn, those were cool. XD

on the other hand, i thought menasor's proportions looked better in CGI lol
