And that would pretty much kill Ruination as well, since even if they did Combaticons, they'd do an Autobot team to balance it out. Hasbro's almost always made more Autobots than Decepticons, and when they don't, it's still usually even rather than having more Decepticons than Autobots. Rarely, if ever, do we have a surplus of 'cons.
Since they have a voyager Optimus sharing Motormaster's mold, would it be possiblr for them to do a voyager Wing Saber or Apex Bomber or whatever to combine with him, and call the combined form Omega Prime? Otherwise that Optimus is a little pointless.

It's like I'm the only one who remember this image.

For instance, Override is a character whose toy I'd like to see revisited. Her original was mostly fine, but the arms were far too short.

Play sets.
Like Cyberverse, but up-scaled for use with deluxe and voyager classes.
An Ark, The Lost Light, a Cybertronian city scape with all kinds of TFing gun turrets and such.
They would be massive, but awesome.

If they did playsets, I'd want an Axalon and Darksyde. But most of the love Hasbro shows goes to either retro-G1 or Bayformers, so BW playsets seem doubly unlikely.

I believe this to be true.
I consider myself to have a keen eye for Takara design esthetics. Everything I know about the history of their design says it was all Takara. I know Armada and Energon were joint ventures because those designs have A. Archer written all over them.
Here in the forum I asked if Cybertron/Galaxy Force where solely designed by Takara and someone who always comes in with the right answer(maybe shajaki,sabrblade,or Jelze. can't remember) said Cybertron was also a joint venture.
I love Japanese robot design, and Takara has always been my favorite. For my own satisfaction, I would like to get to the bottom of this.
What do you guys know?
Gi'me the facts!

Cybertron / Galaxy Force was a joint venture as well, but one that suffered the most in the planning stages. Put short, Hasbro went the planned way, but TakaraTomy who was in charge of outsourcing animation went another. The result was that in Japan, Galaxy Force became another reboot or stand-alone series (but that was retconed into a Superlink sequel years later), with animation to match. That left Hasbro to pick up the pieces with the dub.
That the designs look "Japanese" is no coincidence, some were inspired by animes like King of Braves GaoGaiGar: Hot Shot, Optimus Prime and Leobreaker had similar transformations or designs to mechs from that particular anime.

Her? HER?!
Dude, Override is actually a MAN. In the original Japanese version, he's Speedo Convoy or something. The cause of Override's sex change was just because Cartoon Network wanted more fembots in the series so for the English dub, they rewrite that manly bot a female. That's a very weird descision because Speedo look NOTHING like a female.

Frankly, Kan, I don't give a damn.
I know the Japanese character on whom the original yellow Power Ranger was based is male, but I'm still going to call her Trini because she was clearly established as female in the one I actually watched.
