Though they are also Obari-ish so take your pic. This isn't for everyone. I personally love Katoki and Obari.

these brand new figures don't have anything to do with the 25year old Headmasters cartoon though?

For each head/shoulders bot, the other two can become either a torso or legs, meaning there are two combinations for every main head-bot? Either that or they only combine in the three orientations due to where the connector ports line up etc

Plus, Headmasters uses mainly Hasbro figures. Now, Victory is mostly Takara-only figures. Those combiners resemble the mecha from the Brave/Yuusha series, GoKenzan specifically resembles God Max from Yuusha Exkizer/Brave Exkaiser.

That's sort of what I'm saying, no?
These new figs appear to be homaging the older G1 continuity Japanese-only figures' aesthetics. These don't have anything to do with those cartoons, but the design elements are there. Which is why they seem 'meh' to me.

Which is why I refer to them as Prowl, Silverbolt and Ironhide respectively and call their combined mode Magnaboss.
The ninja team I refer to as Leobreaker, Airazor and Sky-byte and their combined mode has been dubbed Tripredacus.
What Predacon combiner? Abominus? (Or should I say Gorādora)RAcast wrote:In all seriousness, I do like the Predacon combiner much better than the Autobot one. They had to make sacrifices to the beast modes, but...it's kind of endearing in a weird way.

The lion, bird, and shark are Autobots.

I can't place what exactly causes that feeling, but I'm not feeling Transfomers with these guys.
Maybe it's the head? Or maybe just the proportions and kibble on the guys.
Honestly I'm feeling Gao Gai Gar or Megazords with these guys.
