From the teaser, it is confirmed that this figure will be a 5-member team combiner. However, it is not clear who this combiner paying homage to. 2 of the members revealed are basically the repaint version of Munitioner and Explorer.

AGREED.

definitely get an Insecticon vibe from CA-04 (a praying mantis in particular, from the back kibble), and even from CA-03, what with his claws. Looking at 05's left ankle (on our right) it looks like a tail-rotor for a helicopter. Really, I have no idea who these guys could be, if in fact they're based on any existing characters.

unless...random wild guess here...BW Predacons homages? Warcry has a bit of Terrorsaur and Inferno in his coloration. 3 and 4 could be Scorponok and Waspinator. The other 2 have me kind of stumped there of course, but it makes as much sense to me as anything.

Warcry = Micromaster Growl
Flameblast = Micromaster Fireshot

Exactly what I thought, the names are pointing to them too.
04 looks like it could be a Bombshell homage.

I'm gonna be the first to say that I don't care for these new recolors. I already got the two expencive scout class figures, I'm not really down for more even if they're in shiny new colors.

Maybe I'll change my mind when they reveal their blacked out figures. I have no idea what they might be. Insecticons would be nice, but wouldn't fit the theme.

What theme? They're new characters.

The Insecticons are bugs. Or, at the very least, purple, black, and yellow.

The theme here is still vehicles. And, possibly, obscure TFs. Personally, I find this set a little *too* obscure for my tastes.

You guys are right. I don't know my Micromasters (bar a couple), but for the Swindle repaint, the colour scheme and name is clearly referencing Growl - even the new weapons match his.


And Fireshot is probably correct too. Definitely looks like (a great improvement to) his headsculpt. Strange that they gave a Decepticon blue eyes though, but it probably looks better than red eyes on a pink face from an aesthetic viewpoint.




If they were original characters I may have passed them up, but I'm more interested now that they have pre-existing characters.

What will the other three be though? I don't recall any insectoid Micromasters, so perhaps the Micromaster theme will not apply at all 5 figures?

.... it only makes sense.

I'm not convinced from the silhouettes, mainly that Bombshell-ish looking one. But I suppose it could just be two limbs (CA-03 & CA-05). Let me know if you have a better theory Mr Blurrz.

Been waiting for the eventual repaints for the 1st two figures, but I am definitely pleasantly surprised to see 3 more orginal molds. Yesss. Guess that they will not be a combiner set, which is fine with me cause I wasn't gonna have the repaints in Combined mode anyway. That's what Bruticus was for. Also, just going by the weapons we see on the two pics, the don't look to be combiner weapons of the Crossfire sets. Glad we are gettin new head molds for these guys as well. Eagerly awaiting further reveals!

And causality is a word. The Merovigian in the Matrix spoke of Cause and Effect and used the word "causality" often.
