The Energon Pub

I would aso love to see a redoof Liokaiser, or even Raiden, but in order to force aomething like that there would have to be an extremely coordinated effort on all of the fan sites to offset random 8 yr olds who want fire trucks or dinosaurs. Nothing against them, just looking for some way to complete some people's holy grails.

I would like to see a female lead combiner team with Arcee, Elita-1, or Solus Prime at the helm. The others could be new molds for such fembots like Moon Racer, Airrazor, Firestar, among others. The final combined robot would be called Valkyrie Maximus or something along those lines.

Basically, we have the chance to mix and match... and recolor... this line of toys. It's like that big TFCC red combiner, only we don't have to wait five years.

It was cool to get all five vehicles in a nicely integrated color scheme, but that was a painful wait. I lost all the previous year bots before the last ones came in. Still haven't crammed that guy together into his combined form. (LOL)

A Decepticon all-female team would be awesome- I'm thinking a kind of "Deadly gang of femme fatales" theme would work well. Basically take some female Decepticons, give them brand-spanking new molds and make 'em combine.

Here's my ideas...

TORSO:
Strika. Loosely resembles her Beast Machines body but made to combine and also made a bit more blocky. Vehicle mode is covered in spikes and has a great big ramming prow (and also at least one military slogan on the side). Robot mode isn't quite as hunched as her original body and is somewhat more humanoid looking with a very military theme. Weapons are a pair of shoulder-mounted rocket pods, AA guns and a massive power fist.

LIMB 1:

Scylla. Turns into a robotic squid (maybe with configurable "walking squid mode") with bendable tentacles. Robot mode is somewhat cartoony with a large-ish head and exaggerated hips (for a more cutesy look befitting her status as the team clown) with a design resembling a modified sailor suit. Also, her longest tentacles form pigtails because why not. Weapon is a cat-o-nine-tails.

LIMB 2:

Slipstream. Takes cues from both Seekers and Aerialbots in design with an added "cyberpunk" look. Has bright Cybertronian tatoos all over her body ala ROTF Starscream. Jet mode resembles an F-18 Super Hornet. Weapons are variants on the classic Seeker cannons.

LIMB 3:

Ripclaw: Essentially an update of her Beast Hunters design, made to be more feminine and able to combine. Has an Amazon/jungle queen theme, perhaps with scale pattern textures and a generally technoorganic look. Weapon is her grabby claw thingy.

LIMB 4:

Original character named Jack-Knife. Transforms into a heavily modified muscle car bedecked with spikes, exhausts and a massive grille. Colour scheme is an extremely G2 combination of black and purple with bright green and pink accents and designs on the vehicle shell. Robot mode has a heavy "punk rock chick" look with crazy "hair" and loads of spikes, studs and designs. Weapon is a giant wrench.

LEGENDS WEAPON:

Ransack. The G1 Insecticon made into a fembot. Has a general "tiny terror" look in robot mode ala Whirl's holomatter avatar. Locust mode is very, very cute. Weapon is a pair of SMG type guns. Transforms into a gribbly, insecty revolver pistol for the combined mode.

COMBINED MODE:

Agonizor: Combined mode and thus an amalgamation of all 5 "styles". Should be quite tall and have feminine proportions. Scylla's tentacles could detach and combine to form a massive whip for her. Hands/Feet units are high-heeled in foot mode and vicious claws in hand mode.

Alternatively, if they want a single "huge character" may I suggest...

ABERRATRON: Cityformer, Titan class. A massive Cthulhuish/Lovecraftian beast that can transform into a fortress/city or a colossal submarine/ship. Has technorganic look about it and has way too many tentacles for its own good. Also must have a horrible gribbly prison in its stomach that you can put Legends figures in via its mouth.

Maybe we can squeeze a beast combiner out of this, unlikely, but possible. I don't think it's going to be made up of any existing characters though otherwise I would say Predaking or Tripredacus all the way.

Nightracer should be the Legends partner.

I will definately ask for Overcompensatron but with a better name.

monstructor would be my first choice but id also like see a new team of beast combiners, some kind of bounty hunter/mercenary team that works for the highest bidder. But i have a feeling hasbro is looking for repaint ideas & will be surprised if we get new molds out of this

No, guys you're forgetting something, this is supposed to be an all new combiner, made up of all new guys.
So don't go expecting LeoKaizer or other established characters.

So all these fannon combiners made up of Slipstreams and Strikas won't go, since all we'll be able to do is answer questions like:

"What would you like as a torso?"
A Tank
B Jet
C Scooter
D Bill Gate's face

"What gender"
A Female
B Male
C Other
D All of the above

I would totally be up for Bill Gates' face as an alternate mode for the torso.

Hey look, someone who actually pays attention. We don't really get to influence who or what they are, let's just decide on a faction and a gender and let the rest fall as it may.

So basically we should do this, but will all new characters. (basically different names)

PUZZLER LIVES!

I know the chances of this are nil, but I would love that.

Reminds me of how a friend once tried to convince me that a Puzzler member he had was actually a Stunticon (we'd only seen the Stunticons on the cartoon at that point) despite not quite looking right (wouldn't have been the first time a toy and toon didn't match).

So will these be all new molds like Windblade, or just remolds of existing figures?


Inquiring minds want to know.

Wouldn't it be crazy, if the team was a total mismatch?

Like if it was made up of a bike as a torso, and as limbs, a tank, Dinosaur, boat, and a giant gun?

Its motto could be "Life is pain".

Is anyone else annoyed that there's no way to participate if you don't own a smartphone/tablet?

YES. A thousand times YES to a fembot combiner. There's only one official one (Heavy Metal), and she's a minicon Combiner. I'd love to see a G1 fembot combiner... Elita One, Greenlight, Lancer, Firestar and Moonracer...they're not in the current comics, and Combiner Wars will take place (in part) on Caminus, where most of the IDW fembots come from. None of them have ever had mass-released toys in the G1 universe. Do it please, Hasbro!!

Yeah, I'm also up for the idea of a fembot combiner. A Decepticon fembot combiner to boot.

Why are people suggesting existing characters for a poll meant to create new characters?

More disturbingly, why are most of them female?

Well we did this last time as well, but really it's trying to fudge it so that despite being "a new character" it can be a proxy for another.

OVERCOMPENSATRON from Thew's Awesome Transformers reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see that!!!!

Watch this video, and skip to 11:27 to see the characters and etc he uses!

Like to see the Autobots get a Animal bot CW Combiner. The animals I'd pick would be a Bear as the torso team leader. Wolf, Panther, American Eagle and a wild Boar.
