Ok surely I am not the only one that can see that Viper is a G.I. Joe homage? I mean the name, the colour scheme, even the emblem are blatantly Cobra - the Rattler to be precise
So... if your mold prediction is true, that would make Cyclonus a combiner torso? I'm glad they're doing remolds and premolds that make sense based on the mold in itself, but some of the results - like Ultra Cyclonus or Cyclonus Maximus, wearing a Legends-class Rodimus on his chest - are just.... odd.
It's still in open Beta testing, Canadian accounts have access because the studio is in Vancouver.
As they just updated the game with the new characters and a couple small changes, and it seems in line with the original Battle tactics when it had it's full release as long as no major bugs pop up, the full launch shouldn't be that far off.
Just hold out a little longer.
Loving Viper, hopefully there will be other franchise blenders coming.

Not only is it super obvious that that's a Cobra Rattler, the red faceplate is that of a Cobra soldier.

Just played it on my iPad... Not quite sure what I'm doing. Feels like a glorified trading card game.
I long for a proper tactical c&c style game where you have to go out a build your bases... Harvest energon and use your troops' abilities to outflank and defeat the opponents. With bases progressing till you build metroplex or trypticon that launch a final attack by transforming and stomping towards the enemy base
My personal prime collection so far in descending order of how great i reckon the toy is - FE Prime, Silas Breakdown (Powerizer), Dreadwing (Powerizer), FE Bulkhead, Voyager StarScream (Powerizer), Ratchet, Soundwave, Arcee, Voyager Megatron (Powerizer), Wheeljack, Thundertron (Powerizer), Ultra Magnus (Powerizer), Knockout, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee,Airachnid
The Transformers: Battle Tactics app has updated, as well as provided us our first glimpse of what the upcoming Galvatronus combiner will look like once Voyager Class Cyclonus is released. (Cyclonus's torso mode features the head to Galvatronus.)

Is Galvatronus going to be in the comics, or is this just something fun Hasbro is doing? I like Cyclonus' current role in the comics. So much depth has been put into him, and would hate he go status quo on us with Galvatron. Keep him with the Lost Light crew.
I'm not a big fan of the idea of Cyclonus being a combiner, and especially not a fan of him being called Galvatronus in combined mode. Since I am more than content with my Generations Cyclonus figure, this new one is an easy pass for me.

Not even that. More like...excessive 'meh'.
Was anyone really surprised by this? He's the equivalent of the counter to Ultra Prime. That's all. It's possible he might get new limbs eventually like prime is but for now it's fine. It won't be in the comics, it's just a toy.
I'd be cool with a scourge limb maybe because then BOOM! Scourge and sweeps.

This has to be something goofy that Hasbro cooked up since he's time hopping with the LL crew and not having anything to do with the stuff happening with Galvatron on Earth. I'm with you, this is just going to screw up everything they've accomplished with his character in the comics if they have him side with Galvatron especially if it's done for the sole purpose of giving legitimacy to Hasbros' dumb idea.

He won't be. Combiner wars is only a 6 issue event for IDW. The only bots from the lost light that are crossing over are the protectobots(which Im shocked they're being included in the comic). This is just a toy and that's all. Combiner Wars is going be a toy line going into 2016. It's a way to get a lot of combiners and just for fun. You don't like Galvatronus? Fine, don't buy Cyclonus or just keep him in his individual mode. It's like Huffer, windcharger, thundercracker, Megatron, Armada Megatron, Huffer and Bomshell. Just toys to go under the subtitle.
It's like throwing a fit were getting this and not other classic combiners. It's going till 2016, were probably going to see some of them later. Calm your tits people.

Never said I didn't like the toy idea. In fact it's a shame I see more Cyclonus in the pic, less Galvatron, but cool nonetheless. Just inquiring who is going to show up for Combiner Wars. Hoping we get Abominus, I know we got one during Prime's run, would like to see in this set, or better yet Predaking in the same way as Devastator, all Voyagers. One can hope and wish right?
It looks so little like Galvatron I don't really care what they call it. I'm totally sold on Voyager Cyclonus and probably won't be using his combined mode.
I'm a little more interested in his apparent mind control puppets running around at his feet. Is that Wildrider?
I wouldn't put a lot of faith in another Titan combiner. I'm not pointing the finger at you but remember when Metroplex was announced? Everyone and their mother was saying "well obviously we're going to be getting Trypticon, Fort Max, Scorponok ect." What did we get after Metroplex? Nothing not even a redeco of the Metrotitan or Necrotitan.
Devastator is a one and done thing like metroplex was. Could we get Predaking or Abominus? It's totally possible, but it'd be a voyager and four deluxes or we'll get at least one more original Combiner after the fan built team or...they will be the last one. Who knows. It's great we're getting combiners to begin with. Makes me think the only reason were getting combiners is because every character but a couple from 84-87 have now been modernized.
As much of a fanboy I am, I also look at these from the other point of view. If you make the predacons or terrorcons, can you retool/redeco any of them? Probably not so you're going to make those molds and use them once, or fun pub will use them someday for whatever crap they can think of. Or, you can play it safe and use the more popular combiners that can be retooled and repainted over and over like three of the protectobots being retools of stunticons and aerialbots which make sense. It's close enough. I won't be surprised if we get the combaticons and swindle is Offroads mold, vortex is a deco of alpha bravo and this is extreme but brawl is rook and maybe a new blastoff. It works. I'm a huge fanboy but I'm just happy with what we get.

Would it be more legitimate to gripe about not getting non-classic combiners like Landfill or Ruination?
