They are just upscaled versions of the Cyberverse versions. WHY WOULDN'T they combine?!? They are the same damn molds people!! The ONLY question you need ask is will the rest be released.
They've got minor tooling changes, like pinned in hips and shoulders instead of just ball joints, and most tellingly, the connection pegs on the inside of Twinstrike and Windrazor's legs that allow them to connect to Hun-Gurrr's arms and form Abominus are gone.
It's possible they might combine in some other way, if there are plans to release the other three Terrorpreds in large scale, but I doubt whether they plan to do that. These six Cyberverse upscales are a filler in early 2014 to allow Hasbro to milk the Prime line a little more at low cost until they can ship the movie toys that they're doubtless working on right now.

Ryan,
Can you describe Tailgate? What mold do they use? Is he a repaint of Scout class Windcharger, with hopefully a new head mold? Or is Tailgate a new mold?
Wolfman Jake wrote:I'm a bit puzzled by these "simplified" Deluxe and Voyager figures being showcased. Honestly, PRID Bumblebee is easy enough to transform, while still looking like a good representation of the show model. Same goes for the BH Optimus Prime and even Predaking. They're not difficult transformations to master. Smokescreen is a little trickier, mostly beacuse he's a bit fiddlely. Are kids really having that much of a problem with these toys? I know there's been a big push for simpler transformations beginning with DotM in response to the very intricate and difficult offerings from RotF, but this is getting a bit silly. Have the fun of Transformers is challenging yourself. Maybe they're aiming for a much younger group, just graduating from Rescue Bots?
Wolfman Jake wrote:My little nephew, just shy of 3 years old, LOVES his transforming Rescue Bots. After a little instruction, he easily picks up on how to transform each one, and will play for hours happily. He especially loves making them jump throug the air as a vehicle and then transform mid-air and land on their feet. I can see these up-sized legion Deluxes as a good stepping stone for more complex toys, but honestly, many of the Prime figures, especial the PRID Bumblebee mold, are incredibly easy already. Heck, you just pull PRID Bumblebee's legs down and from the waist up, he practically auto transforms when you pull his arms out. I can see the potential niche Hasbro is trying to hit, but it seems so small.

(Talked about going back to basics, demonstrated how easy it was to transform G1 Optimus Prime)
Bumblebee w/ dragon shredder sword (basically looks like large version of Legion class, less complicated = bigger toy)
Windrazor (basically deluxe class sized version of Legion class)
Smokescreen
Twinstrike

No images yet. These are merely initial reveals, kinda like the wave three or four of the Thrilling 30 line. We'll see the gloriousness that is Armada Starscream and the rest of the not-pictured announcements in two weeks' time, at SDCC. Boy, it's going to be a long two weeks...

Well, he wasn't very well articulated, with his limited hips and well jointed but oddly mounted arms. Also he's a bastard to stand up with his big backpack, and his wing sword likes to fall out of the wing socket.
Still, I love him.
