Silverbolt just flew in from Wisconsin this morning. I'm gonna combine him with Bravo 1st!

Kinda guessed Grove would form a chest plate.
Guessing CW Onslaught is going to be a massive retool using the CW Hotspot toy. With Two to Three more repurposed CW combiners. With maybe One New toy.
Think all of the Repurposed CW Combiners have enough extensive retools and different colors. To make each toy unique and stand out.

With regards to these points - agree in a lot of ways, although I still see Superion as being the best, which is why I think they released him first.
Defensor looks great, nice and bulky like his original self. The only thing I will say is that I've seen an angle which looks like Groove's wheel sticks out of the chest. Not sure without seeing proper in-hand pics but I've got a feeling I'll be combining him without the Legends figure in the chest, just like Menasor (who I think looks miles better without Blackjack and a closed chest).
Like yourself I'm fine with retools. Most of the Classics figures were retools, and some great figures at that. I really would be curious to see what further retools we'll get after these rumours of Onslaught and Scattershot.

You're a good man.

Motormaster and Optimus - MM looks better in it, but Optimus was released first (not necessarily produced).
Silverbolt and Cyclonus - SB looks better (to me) and came first.
Hot Spot - maybe an Onslaught basis?
[You could go to Springer and Sandstorm - design was for Sandstorm, Springer came first.]

That's what I've been wondering, especially in regards to the new characters Alpha Bravo and Offroad, based on Blades and First Aid. If we see a third retool of these molds (come on, Vortex), that would confirm my suspicions of them being afterthoughts for the sake of variety.
