In the background of the first panel are some wallmounted bodies, specifically those belonging to Hellwarp, Wheelie, and an Overcharge.

Also a pair of swords that I at first thought were the swords that came with the original Convobat/bat Optimus Primal toy, but look a little different instead (there's even a C-clip on each sword's blade right next to the hilt). :-?

Could just be a body-type. An unused shell of the same body mold.

The visual imagery is still there. It's the thought that counts.

It wouldn't be the first time:

Directly to the right of Hellwarp, just behind Convobat's head.

I'm disappointed in you. [-(

That's not Wheelie, it's Dion, they're all e-Hobby exclusives.

Swords are based on the ones from the unreleased Construct Bots Wheeljack Arsenal pack.

Fin.

I have no idea who the green bat is... Surely not Mutant Soundwave... :-?

Once more via e-Hobby's page for their exclusive Titans Return Mindwipe redeco LGEX Convobat - with Megalligator head from Nucleon, intended for the Skullsmasher/-cruncher mold - we have a new and final page for their in-pack comic! You can check it out below, along with some comparison images with the original toys (which you can also check out here for Optimus Primal and here for Megalligator) and some promotional angry Megalligator art.

Heh, not surprised Megalligator betrayed Convobat. But that's an interesting twist to see, Nemesis Convobat?

I thought the last panel was Nickel and Deathsaurus before I zoomed in.

I don't think it's a nemesis convobat, the head is different. It looks to be like the Nightbeat Titan master to me. Which raises more questions...

I would like a mutant soundwave homage, but I don't think this is that either. That toy was largely gold, not what seems to be an implied green. The screaming mouth on the nightbeat head might be a good match though, sans some monster teeth.

I have no guesses! :???:

I'm very excited about Convobat, but Megalligator still looks like Skullcruncher with a Megatron head. Seeing the comparison pics with the original BW Megatron completely confirms my thoughts about the green color and how out of place the pink/purple looks.

Because it is. e-HOBBY's order page (on just the mobile version, for some reason) points out that the Megalligator head is meant to use Legends Skullcruncher as its body.

I realize that, just saying that's not what I want and that I still want a proper Megalligator with correct colors with attention to detail and not a Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

Here it is with boosted saturation.

IT'S SENTINEL PRIMAL

I figured the colors were something like that, I only called him green because the wing colors were the clearest color in the comic.

I can't be the only one that sees this, particularly the four sets of pink eyes and the silver on his abs.

Nothing else really matches and where better to find him than a lab? Plus who doesn't like Megatron paired with an obedient Soundwave?

The head is definitely Nightbeat's, and the second pair of glowing "eyes" indicates a helmeted character with a bat motif... :-?

O dear Primus, we may have a match:

For just a moment I thought my post magically ended up under someone else's name. :lol:

Though to my credit I did call him Mutant Soundwave in an earlier post, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it.

And him being a clone of the original Soundwave would be icing on the cake. Wouldn't be the first time a Soundwave clone would have a mouth:

I'd really like this new Soundwave to have a mouth anywho to differentiate him from Soundwave more.
