Fair enough, but that's kinda besides the point.

What I was trying to say is that an official release would be unlikely to use fan modes.

Mirage looks totally sweet. He's gonna be a part of Skylynx's team.

Actually it's tangent to the point, which was you stating that the legends groove mold was incompatible with the prime/motormaster mold. As the connects on this particular torse mold are 2 protruding pegs, approxamtely 5mm, any legends figure with a 5mm peg hole can be used as a chestplate
(including those that have been posted across various boards the legends Prime/Nemisis/Huffer, Windcharger/Tailgate, the legends seekers, blackjack and Powerglide).

As one of the key gimmicks that Hasbro is keen to highlight in this line is the interchangability of figures amongst the line. While this is primarily highlighted with the Scramble limb functionality, it is becoming clear that it doesn't stop there.
Regardless of "offical" release configuartions, the interchangability is present, perhaps in some figures more than other, but it is there.

I may have said it before, but I'd really like either a TRUE Generations Doubledealer with his own mold, or a MP version of him.

Actually, he'll be part of the "Optimus Maximus" team, which is next up after the Protectobots. Sky Lynx's team is next year.

So what you're saying is that RhA can't mix and match the extra combining Autobots however he wants? Even though that is the point of Combiner Wars?

Skylynx team? Is old Almighty One Skylynx ( :lol:

) a combiner torso? Pardon me 'cause I don't know.

On the subject of molds Hasbro/TT not touching, well maybe this time, depending on the sales, all bets are off?

Edit: WTF?! I'm surely on a brainf@rt now......sorry RhA. :oops:

Sky lynx is the main body of Sky Reign....arrgh!

The Scramble City guys have their own team. But Skylynx is free to recruit whoever he wants! Thus is the power of Skylynx!

...but, ehm, he's gonna have his own team? I planned on equipping him with Alpha and Rook. I might have to see what Hasbro's got planned, then.

Prepare for a shock:

Hound: retool of Swindle, himself a reshell of Rook
Smokescreen: redeco of Prowl (including painted over lightbar)
Wheeljack: reshell of Breakdown
Trailbreaker: retool of Offroad with new underarms
Wreck-Gar: retool of Groove

And Skylynx doesn't split into Puma and Bird, instead he uses the Dinobird mode exclusively, while the puma head has not been forgotten:

Go look at the BotCon 2015 Official Hasbro Images.

More like "The TF you want, and you thought Hasbro would never make, yet they did". :lol:

That aside, I just want one thing for Combiner Wars, either of these:

Ultra Prime limbs
- a Fire Department-themed First Aid/Ratchet
- a white redeco of Alpha Bravo
- a yellow drill tank
- a blue submarine-shaped limb

... plus evil-colored versions for Grand Scourge. Some ideas for alternate limbs for Defensor would be nice too. Rook and Alpha Bravo fit there... who else? I'm asking because I'm bummed this guy was canned:

Not at all. I thought RhA meant that Mirage would be released with Sky Lynx's team, which is not the case. I'm in no way saying he shouldn't feel free to attach Mirage to Sky Lynx, Silverbolt, or even Bludgeon if he damn well pleases.

Magnaboss and Tripredacus would be nice, but sadly they never got any time in the spotlight and it'd be a pain in the ass trying to convert them to the CW system.
