I was thinking along the same lines, but my first thought was Drillhorn

I went the reverse route. At first I was thinking, but this isnt Ramhorn, and then I totally gushed over the fact that we now have both an original toy AND a toy that homages the onscreen characters. While I am not fond of the two previous releases, this is really making me reconsider a few things. Still not sure if its worth the general price tag but consider me greatly intrigued.

Also, it helps that this is a mold I still havent seen yet so there is 0 mold fatigue. I am super curious about the combined head now and the torso.

PS: Also, I really disliked the original ramhorn toy as a kid.

Yeah, it left me, and, probably many a kid, scarred for life

Come to think on it - this will be the most cohesive combiner to date as far as propotions and color scheme go (so far) other than, maybe pirahnacon

What of the great Victorion?

Well, she hasn't been released, but yeah, I guess she would qualify too.

Oh ****, this could've legitimately worked as drillhorn. .

Forget Nosecone. I'm excited for Drillhorn. I think we've got all the molds we need for a new Liokaiser. Unfortunately, he'll be a 5 figure guys plus a Legends figure instead of a proper 6 figure Combiner, but I'm game if there are no official plans to do 6 deluxes as a Combiner in the future.

Both Computron and Liokaiser are welcome. The question here is: how soon can we see the other 2 left? I'm impatient

Watch this:

This is not a Nosecone retool (yet). Instead, the Club split the cost of the new weapon tooling across two Budgets. Ladies and Gentlemen, the 7th TFSS4.0 figure, known to be a Deluxe, is the Wrecker Twin Twist.

Or, not.

Regardless, not feeling the colors, but I like the idea. Maybe in an actual figure it'll look better. Still down for more Decepticon Combiner Fodder.

Doesn't Twin Twist need two drills.

It's a little more complicated than that.

The three enter the room colored dark grey, but then appear red after turning on some red lights on the table. However, it's less as though the lights on the table are shining on the three to make them appear red, and more as though their bodies themselves change from dark grey to glowing red upon their touching the red table lights to turn them on, as we see the white overhead light swing and sway to shine directly on their bodies (particularly Ram Horn and Sea Clamp) without changing the red color. Their robes, however, are consistently silver regardless of any lighting.

In other words, the three are Color Changers.

I surely hope so, I really like the way this looks, I just wish the drill was a bit bigger

What want to see is a nosecone remolded from air raid sounds dumb until u flip air raid (in alt mode) uside down and flip the wings down

So no one's right, and no ones wrong really. I always figured personally when I watched the show as a kid that they were like really high contrast/reflective colours like silver, or white for them to reflect the red mood lighting. I never thought they were actually red if that makes sense. Also because the fact like they turned red after they turned on their lights, it always made me think because of the low budget nature of beast wars, their character models changed to red to make it look like there was more red mood lighting.

^^^^^^^BW Megatron: Why yessss....., yes.....
ME: in honesty i would agree with that we are getting a third party liokaiser from tfc (also making a prianacon/king poesideon) third party is realizing fans want g1 japan figures plus I am not sure if who would be the rkght arm of Liokaiser because Hellbat is dead in the comics, and deathcobra is hanging with the menbers of liokaiser so i would hope they woild be combined at somepoibt in issue 50 if that happens and if we see dinoking g1 nostalgia will be overloading but first all most necessary thing ever Killbision is going to need to have articulated fingers so that he he can do what he did on the show (if you watch cybercast you will get this)

Or, you know, just check the Wiki:



It's, like, the only screencap pic from the show up on his page.

I would hope unite warriors computron would be like this
Scattorshot: Morgan remolding than the hasbro verison or a new mold Lightspeed: Remold of dead end (new mold probably not)
Afterburner: Remold of UW groove (duh)
Strafe: (new mold(hopefully))
Nosecone:Air raid made into nosecone (FLIP UR AIR RAID UPSIDE DOWN AND FOLD ITS WINGS UP THEN YOU WILL SEE WHY

Thx Sabrblade thats the picture thats why its necessary for him to have articulated fingers XD

Yeah no

So now for a potential Breastforce combiner we have the following:

Leozack - Silverbolt mold (even though Air Raid would be a better fit)
Killbison - Brawl mold
Drillhorn - Brawl mold w/ drill attachment
Jallguar - Swindle retool of Rook
Guyhawk - Skydive mold
Hellbat - Firefly mold
Deathcobra - Alpha Bravo mold

Lyzack - Airraid

Lyzack wasn't depicted as having wings (or being a Breastforce member) in her original Victory manga appearance:

Doesn't matter, if were going on the idea we have to use cw figure; airraids a good mold, the wings can fold back, and lyzack needs a toy that isn't botcon leozack. Also if leozacks CW silverbolt he wouldnt have his wings correctly oriented either

Yeah no

Really? With an equivalent amount of re-shelling to streetwise, I could see it, and actually be satisfied with it. I mean, it looks like it would be a more satisfying 'drill machine' than ramhorn will be

Well, why would Lyzack need to be included, though? The combiner's already more than complete without her.
