Not really looking forward to a project that uses "bestiality" in it's promotional items. And for some reason, I thought "Ares", aka the God of War, would be the tagline for the Combaticons/Bruticus.

Yeah, 'bestiality' is an unfortunate choice of word. :-?

I'd think it's either Monstructor or Abominus, though, if it does have beasts of some sorts.

TFC has been successful with Hercules and Uranus so far, so Im looking foward to this. Whoever it is. I have a funny feeling it's not going to be a known combiner team, but something similar to the Toyworld Throttlebot combiner using late G1 characters.

Yeah, that was my other tought, too.
It would look a bit weird to continue their planet naming for non-canonical characters, though. :-?

....It's Nexus Maximus all over again..

I hope it's Abominus. It's the only combiner I'd like in TFC's scale.

I wounder why there are only three Silhouettes, maybe those three combined have five different modes :-?

When I saw "Beastiality" I was kinda hoping these would be their Dinobot team. But, try as I might, I just can't see it from the silhouettes.

Maybe another Predaking?

Color me intrigued. I haven't a good guess on who these guys are. They don't look enough like the Terrorcons or Seacons, in my opinion. With the name Ares, I immediately thought of the Predacons, but this doesn't look like them either, unless we're looking at Cybertronian forms. I don't remember there being one, but was there any combiner in the Beast Wars series toys?

I see three different figures there.

Front left could be Scattorshot, with Snaptrap on the right.

The center figure is rather indistinct, but it could be Hun-grrr and his rather large shoulder-pauldrons.

When saw the name Ares I instantly thought of the Combaticons...

That image and wording was a letdown to be honest, doesn't really make any sense. Hope they don't wait to long to reveal some proper info and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it isn't their crap dino combiner

Seems like two robots combining into one based solely on these images provided.

I was going to point out to you that the image says 5 in 1, but that made me think.

What if it is a two-bot combiner? Two robot modes, two vehicle modes, one combined mode.

But I can't see any of the existing characters fit in here.
So maybe the idea that it's a new thing is also correct. :-?

If it's the Combaticons or Predacons, easy passes for me. Crossfire II and MMC have those combiner teams covered.

I started to think along these lines. What if it's Topspin and Twin Twist that combine. Though, I don't think that's very likely.

Other speculation: And I credit Mkall for this direction, what if TFC is promoting the combiner teams for this year with three different teams.

Robotic: Computron with Strafe represented (Good call, Mkall)

Beastiness: (sorry, TFC, I cannot use your term :shock:

) This is where it could be the Horrorcons or Seacons, but those shoulder pylons are killing me. I feel like I should recognize them.

Appetite for Destruction: Bruticus, perhaps? The other one does look a little like Brawl. Seacons could work here too.

We'll have to see.

Could it be Liokaiser or some other TF Victory combiner?

News Credits: 5 · by **_shaddow_** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 11:52 pm

I'll throw a guess, but... Why not Victory Saber ? I mean, 5 modes (two for Star Saber (not sure about that since it was a brainmaster), two for Victory Leo and the combined form). The "bestiality and the appetite for destruction" could fit pretty well with Victory Leo (as far as I know, since I didn't really watched the series. But the only thing is, even with the wings, I can't see the heads looking like them.

They could also be Top Spin and Twin Twist, from the shadows shown. Ah well, it's just a guess.

Robotic bestiality, you say? What are the odds that the robot mode's 'front side' of one plugs into the backside of beast mode of the other for their combiner ports? TFC is a bunch of sick fuhkers...

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:11 am

My first though was Pounce & Wingspan with a new combiner feature.

According to Venksta, it's supposed to be the Predacons...

I hope it's not... We'll end up with three Predakings... :BOOM:

I'm strangely ok with that. Another 500 dollars I won't have to spend on them.

Indeed. I'm having trouble seeing the predacons in the silouetts. Perhaps a cybertronian mode to them?

At any rate, too late to the party this time. I wish they'd focus on the Gestalts not done yet.

Amen. MMC has my money there. TFC, go with the Technobots, or Seacons!
