Now that looks very nice

can't wait to see the story behind her.

Hopefully there's a fair bit of remolding done and not just a bunch of female heads thrown on a body. I wanna see Offroad/First Aid Deadend/Streetwise levels of retooling here. :lol:

Wow, she looks awesome.

I feel like this is going to be one sexy combiner if the toy is anything like the art. My excitement level is off the chart! :michaelbay:

As "sexy" as Hot Spot, 2 Alpha Bravos and 2 Dead Ends can be. Can anybody make a small preview with those molds? :roll:

It's not like they're just painted differently, odds are they're going to be heavily retooled.

I agree, I do hope that they do retool these heavily, and not just the torsos and heads, a case in point would be the new MP Road Rage. You took a fairly buff male Transformer and turned it, with little retooling (new biceps, thighs, head, and collarbones), and made it look totally feminine.

Even though I've supported this combiner since the beginning, still gonna wait till the toy images come out to judge it. Looks great on paper, and I really do think the final will be awesome! Show her @ SDCC, Hasbro!

I hope the chest is retooled to curve in like the art. Not because I want the combiner to have a "bust", but because it would add needed depth to defensors very flat chest

Well, we're getting a motorcycle as the sixth member, so, if anything we need Hot Spot's torso mode to lose some width and Groove to put some weight on

She kinda reminds me of Cybertron Override.

...which is kinda fitting since Override was originally meant to be a male character.

The Samurai team Kenzan as the main body plus the head crest sort of reminds me of Victorion. Has a slim feel not the sumo style of the recent releases.

Site owner Seibertron is once more on the field at San Diego Comic Con 2015, and has been perusing the Hasbro booth - which has added more figures since the Preview Night gallery (found here). Most intriguing? The fully combined Victorion fan-built Combiner debuting in the Combiner Hunters one-shot from IDW Publishing!

The combiner reutilises previously seen molds, such as Alpha Bravo (two of them! they're twins!), Voyager Hot Spot, Breakdown, Dead End and Legends Groove - though all in a unified colour scheme with red, aquamarine and silver accents, plus a massive combinable sword and new hands and feet add-ons. Check out the images below.

Wow new hands and feet!!!!

by **Grahf_** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 10:42 am

G2 Superion!!!

Also, it seems they all get new hands except for Groove. Breakdown, Hot Spot and Dead End/Wildrider all have new open hands while the Alpha Bravo twins get new forearms entirely. Hasbro needs to mass produce that sword and those hands and feet and get them out there for all the combiners. While I'm one of those people who don't mind the standard hands and feet, these new ones look great. Especially those new feet. I really like that color scheme too. It's like a G2 figure, it's so gaudy that it's beautiful. The new heads and chest plates came out nice as well. I can't wait to see this done in molded plastic instead of the paint, they're going to look so much better than they already do.

Wow, just wow. Looks like a few new head molds to go around (I think). That sword is amazing as well. Only problem, the colour scheme, but it also doesn't help that it's shiny at this point.

Also, I see you G2 Superion...

Well, G2 Superion confirmed. Rated X, you get your Golden Slingshot.

EDIT: As for the big woman herself, while I'm not really into fembots, I'll pick her up because she looks cool, and I'll probably give her hands to someone else like Maximus or Superion.

It's funny as all the woo hah over Alpha Bravo replacing him you would believe that slingshot was a golden boy

I am sure it will look less shiny when they use molded plastic instead of paint. I am confused with the twin alpha bravos though. WIll Hasbro just be releasing the same toy under two different names on the packaging?
