I heard TM2s are we still talking about that or have we moved on?

I have a handful of transmetal 2s and almost all transmetals. My favourite tm 2 is dinobot just for its ascetic, he's a wonderfully detailed figure. Another I like Iganus for his head sculpt alone, I mean he has an articulated pony tail!

I used to have Transmetal Megatron, who was my only actual Beast Wars guy for a while... Then one day, as I was rearranging shelves, he fell off, "exploded" into irreparable pieces, and disappeared forever when I put it in storage. :-(

The bane of Brown Plastic Syndrome.

I need to track down Takara's Metals Megatron someday.

Apologies if this has been addressed already, but on the Android app I get a notification that the limbs have been chosen already when I access the voting menu. I grouped all four screen caps into one picture. I don't get the message when I go to the origin and color voting polls.

I don't know if this has occurred to anyone, but these might not be simple repaints. There's 2 possibilities here:

1: The images are just placeholders for the rough kind of vehilce they'll turn into (as suggested by the use of Silverbolt as a limb- though unless he's supposed to be a very pointy Vulcan he doesn't look very bomber-y!) and we're getting all new molds.

2: The molds will be existing ones, but heavily retooled (at least with new heads).

Hey Delta Magnus,

I think you're right on the money that the images are place holders... AND that the toys will be retooled. I'm sure at LEAST some heads will be retooled, but likely more. Guessing the combined mode head will be among the parts retooled.... like the TFCC combiner Nexus Maximus.

That was a cool idea... only problem was the long, long time it took to get the full set. Five years is a long time to wait. Glad they have a few exclusives each year... and the collector club, now.

Hoping they think of some solid ideas to reuse these molds in the upcoming year. Being able to swap into a combiner is much fun.

Tee hee.

Aaaaaanyway, since Onslaught is all but confirmed, and with it the possibility of Combaticons, I'm expecting to see a redux of Nexus Prime someday.

Do you hold out any hope for Liokaiser?

We'd be missing a member or two (I don't see Leozack as a repainted Silverbolt), but the limbs would be all covered with what's rumored:

Brawl -> Killbison
Nosecone -> Drillhorn
Skydive -> Hellbat
Firefly -> Guyhawk

Liokaiser's more something the Club would do, since I can't see the current Hasbro team tapping into a Japanese-only combiner that only the most TF-savvy (or TFWiki-savvy) fans know about.

And yet there was a kreo Jallguar, blackshadow in generations, hey it's not much but it's something to show hasbro acknowledges victory in the U.S. Also hellbat was in drift; again not much to go off of, but still a possibility for something in the not to distant future.

To be fair Shane mcathy picked hellbat. Though it doesn't stop the other five becoming a normal combiner :lol:

though the siX man team is a wish

I think the club will be using combiner wars molds for years to come. I also think we'll see a Kabaya kit of LeoKaizer sooner than later.

We previously reported on the Fan Built Autobot Combiner and that it originates from the Sea of Rust. Well, the Transformers: Battle Tactics mobile game has updated (as reported on here) and the final round of voting has begun.

This final selection of choices contains the following options:
Gender (The obvious options: Female, Male)
Name (New options you may not have heard of: Quakebreak, Slammoth, Victorion)
Nemesis (You get to pick the villainous scum! Devastator, Galvatronus, Menasor)
Personality (Speaks for itself: Independent, Loyal, Leader)

Do you want your voice heard? Of course you do! You can participate in the voting by downloading and installing the game by clicking on either of the links below.

Android/Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... tics&hl=en

Apple/iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/transfo ... 33401?mt=8

They really limit the ability for people to vote by having it be an app-only thing.

News Credits: 650 · by **ScottyP** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 9:10 am

Went with Quakebreak, the nemesis of Galvatronus. The other two options I voted for can be summed up by Beyonce and her crew.

Yeah, went with Quakebreak as well. Slammoth and Victorion sounded kinda stupid.

I actually kinda like Slammoth...

Victorion?
OK, but only if she looks like this...

News Credits: 1 · by **Wreckgar** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 10:15 am

Shouldn't this (and the Galvatronus) article point towards the official Transformers app rather than the Battle Tactics game? Unless it's different in the States, they are different apps and these appeared in the former rather than the game.

I liked it too, but not for a female character. Not sure why. Guess all I could think of with that name is a funky repaint of Big Convoy.

SLAMMOTH!

...should really be saved for an Ice Age-themed Transformer/team. Though I'm not real crazy about the other options.

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 10:33 am

Sheeeeeesh. Those are all dreadfully terrible names! That crew should be taken out and whipped... except for the guy who came up with the quakebreak one. That's decent. The others are embarrassingly bad. Sounds like the interns thought of names. Ugh.

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 10:40 am

Quakebreak is cool (might actually use it for a fan-made character one day), Victorion would be awesome for a female combiner. Slammoth... That should be the name of FansProject's Ice Age-themed combiner.
