Oh yeah, that looks pretty nice.

I'm curious about his gestalt mode.

What part will he be?

WOW!

He looks so fine, I want to make him mine! :lol:

I would guess that Wideload might be the torso, making him and Goldbug the arms..? :???:

My Hypothesis is that Rollbar and Searchlight form the legs. Chase and Freeway will form the arms. Wide Load will be the torso and Goldbug will be the chest/head.

He looks great! I'm happy to wait and see what part of the gestalt he is seeing as that's a bonus and not truly relevant to me.

Whelp, that answers that...

(It'd be nice to see the intended Gestalt, but really I want these just for the characters. The combined mode is not necessary.)

I'm liking this more and more, but just to clear things up, that's not the actual hand is it? That looks like one of the Predaking's.

It is. Pic states "just for your reference".

Combined mode isn't necessary, but I still see it as a cool bonus.

I probably won't display that way, but who knows?

I;m gonna combine them at least once to see what it looks like.

Me too, although I highly suspect I'll be keeping them displayed individually.

I'll definitely combine them at least once, but they are being bought for their individual modes.

If they did a remold on these down the road for cheaper (they're worth the money, and I'm buying them all, but a bit too pricey to buy duplicates), I'd love the current ones to keep in individual modes and recolors colored to look like Go-Bots Puzzler for the combine mode.

Agreed. There's enough Go Bot vehicles out there that these guys could make a killing doing a head remold and a colour change and I'd get them again in an instance.

Dammit, Mkall. Stop reading my mind!

I can't read your mind across the Internet silly.

That's what the webcams and hidden microphones are for. By the way, you really should dust more

c/o Toyworld...

I absolutely love these, and these are my clear favorite 3rd party toys for just being fun to transform and play with. I can't wait for Trace, but I am a little concerned that we haven't even seen any prototypes or anything for the next figure. I think we had them previously for the next one before each predecessor came out (or am I not remembering correctly?).
I hope this means there aren't any delays in designing the rest of the set (maybe I'm spoiled by the new Warbotron and the not-Computron that have all the components of the gestalt designed).

Sorry to be posting so much, just very excited about this offering (more so than the FP Intimidator/not-Stunticons, surprisingly enough).

Daimchoc, I didn't notice at first, but in this image, did they update the shaded profile images? Any thoughts on the remaining ones? Goldbug seems to clearly be a new VW Beetle.
I had previously thought that Wide Load was going to be a Hummer, but this image makes me think maybe an FJ Cruiser?
Freeway? I had been expecting a Porsche Cayenne, to go with the Lamborghini Urus luxury small SUV theme, but this looks more like maybe a Ford Explorer to me?

this looks like a impressive 3rd party toy.
