My only beef with this is how they said they work so closely with HMS to nail he toy design yet 4 of the 5 combaticons look brutal and the gestalt looks nothing like it's in came model save for maybe Vortex & Onslaught if you ignore he spindly connectors. Lets see what they do with a Voyager Grimlock...

I kinda wish we get a toy of the transforming AI. It's a different spin on transforming and fit for army-building.

Couldn't agree more. I can only assume "closely" means Hasbro popped in for five minutes after HMS had finished the in-game models, took a look at them all and then went back to the designers and described the models.

Just out of interest, which of the Combaticons do you think is OK? If I'm honest I think they all suck.

An interesting side not was Greg Berger will be the voice of Grimlock and Metroplex is WAY bigger and more G1 looking than I would have ever hoped for!

Brawl and Vortex look the best out of all of them. Even though I want the boxset I KNOW Takara will put out 5 amazing looking Combaticons that blow the SDCC set outta the water.
