For anyone who doesn't own that One-step Bee mould - I just though I'd mention that he does have hands.

One got thing about him is his Transformation actually works better than some of the RID Toys that share a similar Transformation.

Bee probably would have been better going with that momentum and swinging on to Optimus' back from his straight arm or swinging sidewise wrapping his legs around his neck and pulling him over backwards with a weight drop from there or simply sliding past him and using his melee weapon on his ankles as he passed.

Also why does Optimus have a Robocop Data-spike now ?

I don't know why they make these things sometimes? I don't even know who buys them anyway.

You also have hypercasual buyers, relatives or acquaintances that know someone who buys Transformers (e.g. grandparents), and completionist collectors.

Not to mention office workers who might want quick transforming toys to fiddle with.

Or someone who just really liked the G1 Jumpstarters.

Or most G1 toys if we're being honest

Looks like the Beast Hunters Abominus molds are getting released. Again.

Also, to add to that, I just realized there is a little thing about a Quintessa toy in the top right corner of the first picture.

Also, that new torso bot is really cool, as is the name

We've got some more big Transformers 5 toy news today, this time from user Black Hat. It seems the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Abominus Combiner molds are being re-used for The Last Knight. This time, however, they sport a new, more Bay-verse looking color scheme, a new torso bot, and a new name: Infernocus! Check out the photos of the individual members and combined mode of this new/old gestalt, as well as our first look at the previously-only-rumored Quintessa!

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 1:58 pm

So a combiner made of demons - and a lady-quintesson mini-figure.

OK.

I hope the final toy uses a few more various shades of grey other wise that might look a little dull.

The KO makers will be delighted as all the need to do is make a new Torso.

Heck I could wander off right now and order some overscale KO of the Terrorcons and have deluxe size customs in short order of 4/5ths of them.

Nice satanic head - I'm sure the parents groups will just "love" this toy.

wish I could see a better image

I'm surprised how well the limbs work wth the movie aesthetic.

Looks nice... my worry is that we'll later here "oh, those are just production sample colors... here's the real color scheme" and it's all bright neon G2 stuff lol

That 'Infernocus' looks about as good at the TF Prime Beast Hunters Abominus. Yeesh, they didn't even make the left arm into a proper ARM. They just rammed the tail into the torso and let all the other limbs and heads flop downwards to make 'fingers'.....

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:29 pm

I just realised - this is another line that's starting to include Combiners after CW, along with RiD's Combiner Force. They even made a new mold for it.
There has to be a pattern here. They've gotta be putting these out with the mindset of seeing how well Combiners do in a main line - or, even, maybe CW done so well they've figured it's time to bring back Combiners in full force.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:42 pm

Either way, it is an evil looking legends movie combiner, and I am in love and I want it. I did like the BH Abominus, and this appears to take the torso to whole new levels. I am stoked to get this one

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:48 pm

On the one hand the monotonous decos kinda bug me- I wish they had some more colour on them. On the other hand, the unified scheme does look nice on the combined mode, and seeing it with actual knees and a proportional body is neat. If it's cheap enough I might pick it up. I am a bit concerned about the lack of a beast mode image or steps count logo for Skulk though. I hope he isn't a monoformer.

Either way, I'm kinda wanting to buy as many variations of these molds as possible and build an army of Abominuses. They're really fun molds.

Abominus was great! (No, it wasn't. But it was.)

I've seen some of the comments, but that Skulk character is definitely a new mold with two swords that turn into a big sword, right? :-?
