Terrifying thought, I hope the writers dont go that direction, because it opens all kinds of doors.
Stranger things have happened... Zombie metrotitan for one....
Back on topic though, I already have Universe Prowl and Suntreaker, along with the recent Asia exclusive Generwtions Mirage and Ironhide, so I'm not so sure I'll pick this guys up, as I normally don't doinle up on characters - through if Ironhide looks like Ironhide should - bulky and with a windshield chest - he'd be an instant buy.
The other guys I'd have to see compared to the existing versions and in combined form before I go ahead.
I personally don't have much of a problem with re-paints/retools as I collect characters, not moulds, ie I have seven of the classics seeker moulds, the three (former) Datsuns etc, so I'm still keeping an open mind about this rumoured wave, but apart from the occasional obscure character, my classics/G1 collection is really only lacking the upcoming combiners...
On the topic of thenProtectobots - instant buy there. Why? Because Defensornwas the only combiner I almost had as a kid. I definitey remember having Hotspot, Groove and Streetwise (though I lost his bonnet piece so alt mode looked funny) and I remember having a helicopter with a combiner head, and after looking on TFWiki im certain it was Blades, not Vortex I had. I may or may not have had First Aid, but I don't remember that far back but I do recall never having a full combiner assembled. I also had Silverbolt at one point in time.
I guess you could say I'm looking forward to reliving some childhood memories
