This will be something so out of left field that we will never see it coming, or we will see it partly coming. This is probably some sort of Nexus Prime deal, which would be really cool honestly. I still want a Nexus toy from the CW molds BTW

That would indeed be awesome.

Yeah, but it would include brawl... that would sadden me as of right now

Unfortunately so. My advice for enjoying him would be to transform into leg mode and never convert him again.

I honestly do leave my combiners combined almost the whole time, unless I play with them, so he will be an awesome looking leg unless used otherwise

I leave mine in alt mode in boxes to maximise space. So he will go from tank to arm or leg

Well, as I said, Galvatronus set the precedent, and we accepted it; besides, apparently, the comics have been doing mixed allegiance teams for years

Problem is Takara Tomy basically gave CW Galvatronus' forced combiner gimmick to Grand Scourge. The idea of two Decepticons in UW being able to force others to join with them seems like an awful lot. I don't think the UW Galvatronus will have that ability and his team will either combine willingly or some other form of coercion will be used.

Yeah, I think it more likely to be movie wreckage/mw soundwave, g1/energon starscream, armada thrust, and g1 crankcase, and maybe energon megs/botcon ferak...

I think Taktom is just having some fun with these molds, just like the TFSS is doing. There probably isnt much rhyme or reason and I dont think we will crack the code or if there is even a code to crack. Here is a bigger question no one is really asking behind all this:

Do the identities matter? Is the identity of the combiner limbs what is preventing anyone from making up their mind about wanting this release or not?

Nope, just a genuine mystery to talk about

I can never bear to put mine away, so i find the space to always have them displayed

Yes, yes they do. If it's a group of characters that have been done to death then I probably don't need them as combiners (which is why I'm mostly passing on the Autobot combiner cars). However if it's characters that will probably never be updated outside of a combiner team (like Sub 4.0) then I'll buy the whole team if I have to. Will we ever get an updated Armada Thrust? Probably not so that alone puts this set on my radar.

Why does Brawl make you sad?

[Sabrblade]

It's a flawed figure.

It's a flawed figure.

A very basic and painfully overlooked flaw, that is unacceptable

He looks fine to me.



It would be hilarious if they actually moved the number stamp on the final figure and called this the official transformation. Now he looks like Hans Moleman from the Simpsons.

His torso doesn't connect to his waist. It just rests on top of it unsecured.

This is an episode of CHIPs I'd watch the hell out of!

[Sabrblade]

It's crime fightin' time!

[Sabrblade]

Saw this digibash of what the blue Offroad leg could be:

[Shuttershock]

It's crime fightin' time!

ONE'S A STREETWISE MAVERICK WHO DOESN'T PLAY BY THE RULES.

ONE'S A BY-THE-BOOK COP WHO ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN.


BUT THIS SUMMER, THEY'LL HAVE TO PUT THEIR DIFFERENCES ASIDE FOR THEIR TOUGHEST ASSIGNMENT YET...

BEING PARTNERED WITH A... TALKING MOTORCYCLE?

[william-james88]

Oh right, they are using offroad and not first aid. Well that would mean that animated soundwave is now less a possibility.

[RAR]

I would have preferred an AA Gun Brawl mould mod so they can use it on another character too as well as for Demolishor.

I have no idea what that Rook repaint is at is certainly not crying out to me Demolishor.

If the Cyclonus is Greyish blue because of Armada Helicopter Cyclonus that would be pretty bonkers.

Heck that it's a multiple of Unicron Trilogy characters is odd enough.

But then isn't Unite Warriors Optimus & Friends loosely based on Energon - so Galvatronus (or whatever they call him) may simply exist for that reason.


------

We could have done with Devastator being made of 6 Deluxes really then we'd have had a dump truck going spare too - that could have been used for Energon Demolishor.

I don't think Rook is going to be Snowcat since the Torso is already Cyclonus.

But if he does turn out to be Demolishor he will at least look half way decent once someone makes him a nice 3rd party missile turret.

P.s. Thanks for the news credit

[Sabrblade]

Another guess has come up for who the Rook mold redeco could be: Movie Bonecrusher.
