STICKER SHEET:
As part of a promotion in Asia, a sticker sheet was provided as a bonus when you purchased a certain amount of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars toys. These stickers are specifically for Wave 1 and 2 toys, i.e. Superion and Menasor. They add additional details and is a nice throwback to G1.
AERIALBOTS:
Let's start with the Aerialbots, and first up is Air Raid, the only additional detail in alternate mode is the addition of some vents on the top. It does look nice though and breaks the black.
In robot mode, he has a sticker on his chest which breaks up the blandness of the combiner piece.
Something less obvious due to his giant kneecaps is that there are stickers for his thighs. It doesn't make a huge change for Air Raid but the extra details it does add is nice.
With Alpha Bravo, he has stickers in helicopter mode on the sides and where his robot shoulders, which I can't make out what it is supposed to be.
Robot mode details are much better, with additional details for his chest and forearms. It looks fantastic and suits the figure nicely.
Firefly unfortunately does not have any stickers for jet mode. In robot mode, he gains additional details on his shoulders, chest and shins.
With Silverbolt, one really nice touch is that there are stickers for his robot mode shoulders which translates into air intakes and actually makes the undercarriage less noticeable.
There are a few other generic details on the top and sides of the jet.
Silverbolt naturally has the most stickers out of the Aerialbots, he has additional details on his shoulders, torso, thighs and shins.
There's also a piece on the outside of his forearm, which is hard to see.
Lastly, Skydive's only additional detailing in jet mode is the sides of the jet.
Robot mode fares better with details on his chest, torso and shins.
As Superion, additional details on his torso help breaks up the solid red and white. His thighs has two extra yellow detailing and Air Raid's stickers also shines through. The other Aerialbot's stickers doesn't show in combined mode.
The sticker sheet actually does enhance the toys, extra details doesn't hurt and there's quite a bit of fun putting them on too.
STUNTICONS:
The sticker sheet covers the Wave 2 Stunticons too, Breakdown's stickers include two for the spoiler.
The biggest benefit here is the addition of rear lights, it helps so much in breaking the bland whiteness.
Something really weird is that they added details underneath the windshield, you can't see this in vehicle, robot or combined mode so not too sure why it was added. Breakdown doesn't gain any additional detailing in robot mode.
For Dead End, there are only stickers for lights next to the grill.
It looks okay but it was such a pain to put it on properly.
Robot mode gains some nice details such as his feet, crotch and forearms. The metallic nature of the stickers makes them stand out more.
Drag Strip gets one of the best upgrades in the whole set. He gets additional details in the front, and just behind the cockpit.
Furthermore, his gets taillights of sorts.
In robot mode, in addition to the vehicle stickers showing through his legs, he has stickers for his thighs and shoulders.
It looks really good and adds so much character to the figure.
Motormaster doesn't get any stickers for vehicle mode, but just like Silverbolt, a lot of the stickers are dedicated to him. He gets detailing for his shoulders, chest and shins.
Since his chest is so nicely painted, it was almost a shame to put the chest sticker on, but the shoulder sticker is definitely welcomed.
Offroad gets some tacky flame decals for the hood.
He gets rear windows though and his bumper gets an upgrade. Annoyingly, the instructions for Offroad is really vague and you could easily end up putting it in the wrong place.
In robot mode, he gets a red decal for his chest which is awesome, plus his thighs and forearms.
It's hard to see normally due to his kneecaps but his thigh stickers are quite nice.
Finally, as Menasor, the main stickers are his crotch, his thighs and just below his head (where the collarbone would normally be).
If you don't use Blackjack, and close his chest, you can see additional stickers there.
While some of the stickers are tacky, just like Superion, they add some nice details to the robot.
OVERALL:
As a freebie, this sticker sheet is awesome, adding additional details to the figures, after which you couldn't believe how bland they were before. If you have to pay for it though, that is another story and might not be worth it as much. Considering how much fun it was to put them on and makes you appreciate the sculpting on the figures, this sticker sheet is awesome, and will definitely make you want the sticker sheet for Combiner Wars Devastator and Defensor.
