As usual with US releases of Combiner Wars (and occasionally elsewhere too!) we got comic books with the Deluxe Combaticons, and with them extended bio data for the four characters. We've got images of the back covers with the character info, and we also have a run down of which comic issues came with this batch of figures. To find out more, like why Blast Off isn't a shuttle anymore, keep reading!
This wave finally sees "Combiner Wars #1" and "Combiner Wars #2" released with toys. These issues, coming with Vortex and Brawl, respectively, were never released as pack ins previously. These issues are "Dinobot Hunt", and "Night And The City", issues #8 and #9 of the former Robots in Disguise. Blast Off comes with issue 11 "The End of The Beginning Of The World", previously seen with Quickslinger, and Swindle comes with "City On Fire", issue 12 which previously shipped with Drag Strip in the Deluxe wave 2 revision assortment. See below for the back cover images with the expanded bios - we recommend viewing at Image Size 800 in the gallery for best readability.
