So what about the heads? He would need 2. Megatron as the jet mode, and gigatron as the combined mode name? Which would have the gigatron head and which a different head? I'm curious as to your thoughts here screamer

Wellm I kinda wanted the gargoyle head (bot mode head + gargoyle muzzle) as the combiner head, and the bot mode head as the normal head, of course it would need the fold out wings. If the gargoyle head doesn't work as the combiner head, I guess they could make a new one, or an enhanced version of his bot head, sort of like going from megatron to pissed-off-super-combiner-enhanced megatron

pissed-off-super-combiner-enhanced megatron

I love this

This is why we need more

They could even do something cool in his bio where he goes from megatron to megalo-megatron.

megalo-megatron

Mega-squared-atron

No, I meant from a psychological sense, where his id would explode into a megalo version of it, like his being a megalomaniac, he would go from a maniac to a megalomaniac.

Gotchya. Still like my idea though

There was an interesting essay about megatron and the disassembly of his personality in the book "Transformers and Philosophy"

Might look into it. Still, CW RiD Megatron would be cool. we can only dream

Love how you guys skirt being off-topic by making it a wish.

I'm watching you both now ...
(DISCLAIMER: I'm actually joking, so those of you who are raging after what I just posted, get over it. If I was the asshole some of you think I am I'd be dishing out warnings left right and centre)

Now I wonder if they were ever to make G2 inspired Alpha-Bravo or Off Road will they need to be The same colour as the characters they "Replace" or brand new unique colours ?

I'd not mind Alpha-Bravo in golden brown as then it would look like one of the antagonist's Helicopters on the Airwolf TV show.

I'm keen to get some more Helicopters simply so there is enough spare guns to give then ones you do use 2 of them in the helicopter mode for the sake of balance.

I keep saying we need to see some more "Most wanted" (yellow box) style Vs sets again as that is a great way to get all the odd things we'd other wise miss out on without having to pay Fun Pub prices.

The obvious ones remain : Bluestreak, Sideswipe, Red Alert, Hoist, Tracks, Ratchet, and there is plenty more to consider if you throw in G2 ideas and the more obscure things like Detritus, Deep Cover & Clampdown.

I wonder what else we've had that could be G2ised - Some of the Autobot cars have ready made G2 colour schemes (sometimes more than one as is the case with Mirage and Sideswipe). I Guess a G2 Prime would use that reverse colour scheme idea that pops up sometimes where Optimus has a dark Blue cab.

Personally I'd rather have a Turbomasters giftset - but I suspect that is just 'to obscure'.

I think if you could mistransform Onslaught's vehicle mode into a fire truck with the Hot Spot tooling of the feet, you have a much better Pyro homage than the Botcon G2 Pyro.

Seriously, just recolor the Onslaught mold as a red fire truck. Keeping guns in place of ladders; that's Pyro's visual gimmick: He's an armed heroic fire truck who shows up to burn down people's houses.

Then you could have repaint limbs based on the original G2 characters.

Hot Spot/Onslaught as Pyro.
Trailbreaker as Hotrider.
Mirage/Dragstrip as Leadfoot.
Wheeljack as Deluge.
Alpha Bravo as Rotorstorm.

Decepticons could be largely Aerialbots.

Skyquake, Falcon, Snare, Talon, Skydive

Maybe swap one out for a Cyberjet.

So there's your gold Alpha Bravo

[Cobotron]

Interesting. Wonder what that means?

[Bradimus]

Looks like two versions of Powerglide, too.

And two Silverbolts.

That PC don't have updated pics.

Or how about(when he finally does appear) Bruticus in Ruination colours?

Ya! I think that bottom pic is a digi bash.

I believe it is because Powerglide is supposed to be red and silver, and Alpha Bravo isn't included.

[Zeedust]

Or how about(when he finally does appear) Bruticus in Ruination colours?

I'm for that, but I really hope if they do it, they use the names as well as the color scheme rather than just having it still be Bruticus.

How about Rook as Bulkhead with a new head and weapon (or reuse the 1st ed. TFP Bulkhead's wrecking ball if possible)?

Dualor? I don't see it. To me, his vehicle mode looks a lot like Wreckage's from the '07 movie toyline, but Bulkhead has more name recognition, and Wreckage might be too close in color scheme to how Rook already looks.

Well color him grey and put yellow versions of hotspots guns on his shoulder ports in vehicle mode

While we already saw the box G2 Superion comes in when he was revealed at San Diego Comiccon, we now have an image of how he is packaged inside the box. While it is unknown if the previous reveal had the actual colours or was partly a painted prototype, this image gives us the best look at the final colours in hand. This image was found on the HK TF Facebook page but bears he Daimchoc watermark.

If only I hadn't gotten a complete Superion...

Ah well there's still Menasor

Come to the neon Dark Side, my friend. You won't regret it...

[Mkall]

This needs to be on my shelf now.

Here's hoping the G2 sets continue and we'll see Defensor and Bruticus as well.

[kurthy]

Ahhh! Gold plastic, don't look at Slingshot or he might break!

J/k, set looks good but too bad I already bought the set plus AB.

[steals_your_goats]

I need more space in my apartment for all this awesome stuff coming out. On one hand I hope they hit mass release soon but on the other I have bills to pay. Oh why must I have responsibilities...

[GuyIncognito]

Damn, that's nice looking! I'd rather have this than the G1-styled CW Superion.

[Rodimus Prime]

If that insert was foam instead of plastic, this could pass for a BotCon set. Well done. I have Superion already, but I'll probably get this if it's easily acquirable.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Btw someone FINALLY posted a review on Youtube of the wave 4 Combiner Wars Motormaster with his fixed hips!
