It's not like hellbat would have had that name if the original was released in the 80s in the US. Honestly Fellnat i think sounds cool. Reminds me of the Fellbeasts in lord of the rings

Actually gotta make it a three pack now, because we're missing Jagular or however you say it... so helicopter, a jet, and some kind of car... Plus an arms micron set to go with them to represent each of the animals (including the original sets' bots).
Still, it's nice to see this effort made.

On the plus side, all of the limb-bots look great, so a Third Party company could really just make a Deluxe-sized Leozack and Jallguar that combined into the torso like the original Liokaiser, and I'm sure they would do well.

I agree, I thought I saw that it said platinum too.

Only problem is how much that'd cost... especially on top of the fact to get those four limbs you don't just buy a full combiner set, you buy a full Platinum combiner set

I just question why they went for a Sky Lynx retool period and not just make Silverbolt into Leozack. Beyond just shamelessly getting more uses out Sky Lynx there's absolutely no reason for it over ditching the most popular member of Liokaiser.

-Killbison renamed into Ironbison
-Hellbat renamed into Fellbat
-Killbison being toy-accurate gold instead of screen-accurate orange
-Killbison being a single-barreled tank and not a double-barreled tank
-Gaihawk being misspelled as Guyhawk
-Grey horns and batwings on the heads of Killbison and Hellbat
-Deszaras (just the whole figure)
-Black head on Liokaiser
Liokaiser is my favorite Combiner of them all and this actually kinda brings him to shame...

Platinums are still retail, just exclusive to a particular retailer. But its still retail. I am estimating 150$ for this set and then it will lower to 100$ from whichever retailer has it (either Target or Amazon) and that will make it about the same price people bought the other combiners at. I have no doubt people will be able to get this guy for 100$ in the end.
And I am surprized at how positive people are, even the more "negative" opinions.
As optimistic as I sometimes am, I think the combiner is a failure.
I wil say that I love the 2 jet arms, the headsculpts are awesome especially Fellbat. Thats wicked.
But I hate that brawl mold and is not like they changed anything to it aside from th headsculpts (unless I am wrong).
But to me the big slap on the face is the torso. Frankly, this doesnt look anything like Liokaiser. This is Liokaiser:
What the fuck is this?
That shit looks nothing like Liokaiser. They actually had a lionhead for the torso, and they paint it Black?! That unpainted plastic face looks bad too, it doesnt have that evil look Liokaiser usually has. It looks really off. Plus, the torso is all wrong. I have no clue why they couldnt just paint the chest all green to simulate the plane front. The black makes no sense there too. This looks like a third party toy doing a Neo G1 look to avoid copy right.
And Dezaurus looks like crap too. Skylynx at elast turned from a shuttle to a dinosaur bird but with these colours, that doesnt look like an alt mode in the least. It looks weird and goofy as all hell, making it totally useless. So all we end up with that is of any value with dezaurus is his "beast" mode (which looks nothing lik Deathsaurus) and a torso mode which looks nothing like Liokaiser's torso.
And he doesnt even come with the weapon on his box.
Wipe that smile off your face!

Well, if Super Ginrai is any indication, there's always hope with Takara. Seems they'll go the extra mile if it means making the figure better.

I wrote a post about how I disliked the tanks, the Brawl mode is terrible, and maybe they could get at least the TT Nosecone mold (Rook retool) for Drillhorn. But when I submitted it to the internet ate it.
And of course, I want the three missing members. I'm not a fan of the Dezaurus that they made, it's Shattered Glass Sky Lynx or something.
Lio's head and torso don't bother me much, it's not exactly G1, but it could be modern g1-update version sure.
I'm not like drop dead happy with this, but I'm okay with it being around for an option, and as a bridge to help introduce people to Japanese G1 that may not know anything about it.

1 and 2: Name changes is justified this is north America and these toys are for children they kinda can't have kill or hell in their toys names.
3: Oh no a character is only a slightly different color shade and looks like one version of him instead of another oh the horror!
4: Does it really matter how many cannons this guy has?
5: Two different spellings of the same name boo hoo.
6: and 8: Oh god color changes everything is terrible Hasblow has failed us again I couldn't just paint over the grey!
7: I agree bad mold choice but I think the paint is great on him.

... you actually thought there was a chance Hasbro was putting hell and kill on a retail item?
You don't have to like it but your list of "mistakes" is absurdly nitpicky and particular. He's the WRONG accurate? What's wrong with toy accurate vs show? And in theory the one tank has a double barreled gun - his hfg. I also disagree that his torso looks "nothing" like the original toy or toon. It's a solid representation imo. Good color placement, has wing things...
There's a long tradition of Japanese names featuring altered spellings for NA releases. Gaihawk/guyhawk, whatever. Same guy. We also got firefly, brake-neck, and quickslinger.
Please. Understand I'm not saying anybody needs to like or buy this. I criticize the level of specifity. I totally dig being meh on desaurus from sky lynx, or wishing they'd done a bit more retooling.
For me, I thought this was an easy pass but I really like it. New heads, great decos, finally some aerialbot retools, and I love the sky lynx mold. I have no connection to the original so for me I don't feel that understandable disappointment.
It's absurd Hasbro is doing something so obscure as it is. Hopefully Takara does a version that makes some of y'all happier.

Hascon Exclusives? (or whatever that Trademark was) I hate that idea because of availability, unless they pipe that through HasbroToyShop afterwards... Maybe Hasbro will pick up the slack and start doing HTS exclusives... I can dream right?
So let's see, that means another Alpha Bravo/Vortex Repaint, an Air Raid, and Jallguar. You know, I actually have my Combiner Wars Mirage running around with his feet folded up in vehicle mode with he HandFootGun pegged in as a poisitionable howitzer gun, he might make a good Jallguar.
Now, about those Arms Microns...

And the guy in the pic is the designer of the toy, not a fan at a convention, hence my comment.

You are not being bullied. Don't trivialize actually bullying with somebody taking a jab at you for your profanity laced whining about a toy.
And even if the guy is the designer, your comment was still shitty. You don't get to be a furious asshole about children's toys and then cry foul when somebody takes the piss out of you for it.

Yeah it's a discussion site of people with different opinions yes I'm not talking about my opinion I'm talking about the complaints which I find ridiculous
Seriously today is nothing positive on every Transformers website I've been on today people are complaining and complaining because something is not 100% what they imagined
Unless it's from Japan cause Takara is Jesus Christ reincarnated
I'm bummed and stressed out from trying to get excited for the news from the convention and for the new show but it's hard to get excited when everyone else is a negative nancy.
I hate the god damn fandom's attitude ruining my mood for the whole day.

Then spread your joy. Comment on what you like. Because what you are doing instead is adding animosity. Your just being negative about negative people, that makes you as big a complainer. Be the example instead, step out of the crowd and give me an example of why I should be happy about these toys.
Bitching about people complaining about toys is the same as bitching about the toys. It's still just bitching. Its just the pot calling the kettle black. And all we get is more negativity.
Give your opinion and show me what I am not seeing. What do you like about this Liokaiser, tell me

I'm a human being everything I talk about is based on emotional response not any sense of logic or reasoning I'm 18 and done school so I'm still getting used to the transition of childhood and adult life (which all sucks so far) so I'm more easily frustrated these days so I apologize for coming off as a bully.
I'm not necessarily saying your wrong about your views on Liokaiser I just want to read positive comments and not make them I'm not a talker I can't communicate well with minor autism and anger issues so I like reading positive comments so I feel better.
But I really like how the combiner looks in combined form and I like the new heads and I like the colors and paint even if not entirely accurate it still looks good.

See? Your a natural at this
It is much easier to criticize, of course, so you will see more of it. Though if you go to the Titans Return threads you will see more positivity (except from me (just kidding)). This toy was bound to get criticised since its a pretty big detour and a big case of reusing molds for the hell of it. Although I do give credit where credit is due, those heads look great!
Sadly though my favourite head was always Jagular (did I spel that right?) because he kinda looked like a shaman/werewolf. He would have been fun to be included.
An easy thing to do if ever you dont like what you are seeing is just appropriating what you are saying as your own feelings. So if someone complains about the colours you could say "I think those colours look great, thats an awesome schemefor a modernized version fo the toy". It still says what you meant to say but without being as agressive. And that would add positivity
Also, dont worry, I was that age once too, and I will tell you that the best period of my life (before the birth of my child) were those years from 18-21. You dont have to be an adult right away, its just the start, ease into it.
And girls your age are legal, oh yeah!

Then let me jump in, because while I disagreed with the tone of Deadput's Post, I agree with what he was saying. Your post came across as somewhat accusatory, and then with Shadowmus' above it, kinda tipped the scales on "If you like this you're an idiot". Going back, and having had several conversations with ya, I can understand where "Wipe that smile off your face" was meant more sarcastic than attacking, but it didn't read that way to me, either. Water under the Bridge. (Spanner?)
I can certainly understand why people who are wanting a faithful Liokaiser (And full disclosure, I am still surprised Liokaiser has this much of a following!) will see so many things wrong with that torso, particularly on its own. For me though, it checks all the right silouhettes. Hasbro used the same standrds of picking a mold that FUnPub used, to get the key elements right. It has the Lionhead, even if they painted it the wrong color (and admittedly, I don't think Black was the right color for thwe head or the chest. Green for the helmet, but givent he colors makes me think those parts are gang molded, so the thruster housing would be green as well) and it has the wings on the chest. They are not as big as Leozack's, nor are they as prevalent. Leozack's chestplate form used not just the tailwings but also the main wings as well. Dezaras has to do it with just his stubby ailerons. But they are there. The only other gestalt that coulda given us a wing chest is Bruticus, but who could he have been that would make some sense? Jallguar? It could work, but I guarentee he would get as much backlash because he's not a missile buggy. At least Sky Lynx gave us a Monster Form like Dezaras has, and to me, as someone who is looking at pictures of toys, and not the cartoon or something I owned, the two biggest attributes of Liokaiser: Lion Helmet+Wing Chest.
Full disclosure: I don't care if this combiner was named barney Fife. It's another Decepticon COmbiner and I want that. More Cons.

I agree with the more cons sentiment.
Luckily I have no emotional/nostalgic attachment to LionCaesar so I'm ok with most of this update/homage.
Although at this point I think I'm done with CW. We'll see.
Is the little falcon dude a new mold, or is it a re-purposed Micron?

Repurposed micron.

Below you will find the images for the bot mode and alt mode of Dezarus, Guyhawk, Fellbat, Ironbison, Drillhorn, and Ion Scythe. We still do not know when they will be released. The box seems to be a platinum release so this may be exclusive to one specific retailer (still unnanounced).

Maybe try it out now with Brawl on a random torso to see how that works out.
I think you'd need the feet flipped for balance tbh.

Keeping both tanks fully extended is how one of the Hasbro Mockup pictures has him. It makes hiom look very long legged.
As to turning the tanks, remember the Combiner Knee joint is dependent on the big peg bending backwards. Turnign the leg sideways will turn the Knee. You might be able to use one of the Sky Lynx/Dezaras leg joints, but that will significantly decrease the length of the thigh.

A little perplexed who """Ion Scythe""" is.
Also yeah, those heads are so great. I kind of just want to get the limbs on their own; if I could get my hands on just Hellbat and Guyhawk I'd be happy. They look so cool and Guyhawk's vehicle mode deco in particular is a beauty.
