Well, CW was Scramble City. I mean something a bit more "restrictive" but would still allow freedom.
Imagine a combiner line. ALL deluxes. No voyagers. 5 types of deluxes:
-- Upper torso with the integrated chest-plate and combiner head.
-- Lower torso with HARD ratchets with the Combiner's thighs AND knees. The combiner ports being below the knees.
-- Arms with integrated combiner hands (left or right with a swingable thumb) with HARD ratchets for the Combiner's elbow (reusable as the single bot's ab-crunch.)
-- Lower legs, with integrated Combiner feet with hard ankle pivot and tilts articulations.
All dedicated members could be swapped between teams like to make a "CobtructiOkaizer."

Unfortunately, HasTak seems to be entirely focused on existing characters and series for getting Generations-quality figures; for now at least the chances of a new series getting the Animated treatment of figures suitable for kids AND collectors is practically zero.
I wonder, back in '83 or '84 when Transformers were 1st brought up to be converted from Diaclone how many people at Hasbro said "they won't sell."-Kanrabat- wrote:Yeah, 6 members combiner teams of interchangeable characters would be the perfect opportunity to introduce new characters and ideas.

I too would like to see some representation of Violengiguar. However I'd just be ok with a highly articulated figure. I would not want Hasbro or TT to shoehorn a Transformation gimmick (like with ER Quintesson Judge), just for the sake of calling it a "Transformer".

But yeah, we will never have a proper Generations treatment of this series. Same thing with so many other comics like old G1 Marvel, Heart of Steel, the Tarn saga, and more.
At least 3P is here to fill in the void. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It looks great in both modes, doesn't have joint issues to the extremes that other Titaniums have, and is just fun to transform. I would love to see Hasbro reuse this transformation again in the future, either as a War Within redo or as a new character all together (would probably have suited Legacy Jhiaxus nicely). Yes, it's a similar transformation to Unicron Trilogy Cybertron Starscream, but the alt mode is super clean.
Only one I don't have is Sunstorm because it's hard to find a used one that isn't full of chipped diecast paint apps at a good price.
