I actually think this is a really cool idea. The only thing that would make it cooler is if they came with little scale figures, and bring back a sort of Diaclone-ish feel.
Of course, I was kind of hoping they'd do something like this, and capture Megatron and Optimus. Before the two broke out, they'd have scanned their designs, and combined them to make the ultimate weapon of Guiltor to fight against them. But that's a dream that'll never happen, but it fits with the conversation, so I'd throw it out there.
Not sure if I'll get any of the figures, but they should do Energon Strongarm. I recently got Cyb. Swindle, think it's great, and both he and Strongarm have a similar vibe. Oh yeah, and they should repaint Energon Skyblast too for some arial support. I could also see a repaint of Kicker/Highwire as kind of a commander.
Hmm, maybe I will get some of these guys
. Gears in my head are turning, and it's been so long since they've done another faction.
