Combiner Wars Wasn’t All That Bad Right? | #transformers Combiner Wars Liokaiser Review

This was a pretty decent set..they just didn't go as far as they could have since it was a quick repurpose of SkyLynx/Superion.

I think the reason they used the sky lynx mold is because it looks the most similar in combined mode.

Imo, combiner wars was pretty good, but there was just too much. Especially in terms of repaints.

I feel like there was such a missed opportunity by Hasbro not repainting POTP Starscream as a Leozack and maybe even retooling/remolding POTP Beachcomber to be able to become a chestplate or gun so they could make Jallguar

Coming from the Uni trilogy and then the movies, Combiner Wars was everything I ever wanted. Good combiners that was more than 3 bots was a non-starter. With the P/E addon kits the combiner war designs were great.

I’m glad you like this figure. He was one that I definitely enjoyed when he first came out but after a while of him just sitting in a bin, I recently sold him to a local toy store. I hope whoever buys him next will have more fun with him.

Was fortunate enough to get this combiner back around 2016 for a decent price, though never had any luck with the 3rd party combiner hands and feet, so I just left the tanks untransformed to gain the extra height to make the arms less big. Disappointed no company had a go at making combining 3rd party fig versions of Liozak and Jallguar that could combine into main Liokaiser body to replace the Dezarus fig, but I suppose not many would get a Liokaiser and wanting to upgrade compared to the other sets (even though they made a Computron upgrade kit).

One of my favorite CW combiners too. The standard hands and feet work better proportionally if you leave the lower sections of the tank in tank mode, which makes the legs a bit longer.

I never got a full combiner from combiner wars and potp, but I did get assorted figures, enough to make my own custom combiner. I use sludge and slug as legs, darkwing and dreadwind as arms, and either silverbolt or onslaught as the torso. It’s actually really to mess around and customize with combiner wars figures

Great review! The PE hands and feet are essential with any of the Combiner Wars gestalts. I used the dark blue KO Abominus set for my LioKaiser because the spiky knuckles seemed more appropriate for this character.

Combiner Wars might be a weak line for most... But I respect their ambition. When it comes to the Deluxe figures, they went for G1 versatility/compatibility, but adding modern articulation and more unique transformations. In my opinion, their only big flaw were the Voyager sized torsos, they should have been "Leader" class (Voyager size but more solid and involved)

i enjoyed the old 2007-2010 movie toy lines cuz each fig had some sort articulation different with each fig, but was still decent imo

Nice vid man love it. The little bit at the start was funny and that menasor mention as well. That thing is so wacky 🤣. Great content 👍. Also praying you get that combiner and if you make a vid on it ( which you might ) i know it will be funny.

I’d always wanted a representation of liokaiser but it’s expensive and fee and far between. The G1 is way WAY to expensive to get complete or loose complete and has GPS issues, the CW looks very nice granted it’s 5 not 6 but that’s an issue with the line limits but again expensive to get, there’s the 3P hades which is I think 400-500$ not bad for a combiner team but it’s an old/dated combiner with I think some joint issues. Then that’s it combiner wise those 3 for now Iron Factory has a legends one coming out with renders but an unknown release date it looks promising. The only was I could see getting a good modern figure is a haslab thing to give the 6 bot combiner proper budget to be a solid team

My main issue was some countries (mine included) didn't get every set released. Several were skipped like set 2 and 4 and that caused an issue for those that had set 1 as you had four parts to Superion and 1 part for Menasor.

I think Legacy or maybe the sequel to Legacy will do Liokaiser at some point. Deathsaurus is going to be a thing in Haslab so we will get the Breastformers redone as well. I really hope so they are my favourite G1 combiner team.

Your dad wearing a Trek shirt, drinking a Trek drink, with a Wars hat!!!!! Classic!!!🙂🙂

Wish they would revisit this combiner cause he would rock if they really went in on a new one.

A modern redo of him would be cool

The jet canopies should have been clear blue. The solid colors just blend in too well
