What?

Hasbro did say he was part of Sky Reign but I don't see how either. Maybe he functions as a weapon?

I'm talking about the "no new head" thing. That is a new head on him.

Hound is a repaint of Rook? Will Ironhide be repainted into someone else?

Hound is a retool of Swindle, who is a heavy retool of Rook. Trailbreaker is a retool of Ironhide (with a new head and gun arm).

I thought Trailebreaker was a retool of Offroad, no?

Also, looking at the pics, I thought swindle and hound were retools of one another but it seems they are just redecos with different heads.

Offroad and Ironhide are the same mold.

Whoa, when did that happen? That's actually kinda cool, and, depending on what the groove mold does for Sky Reign, I might have to get him too :-?

It's finally happened. Hasbro has made so many reprints that folks are starting to get confused. :lol:

lol, I was at botcon, but I couldn't stay to see the figs in-hand, but I don't remember his new face being in the presentation, and the in-hand pics of him specifically were delayed by several days, so I hadn't returned to the gallery, but I think your statements still valid :BANG_HEAD:

In case anyone missed it the guy who made the Abominus CW design owned up to him being mischievous on Twitter to Peuagh - they are not Hasbro toys just something a guy made on his computer to see what the reaction would be.

Yeah, I figured it'd be as much, they just got dumped in the thread with no fanfare. People were slighly confused, but utterly not convinced.

I really wish Yuki would give us a definite answer as to Takara doing a proper Blast Off. It'll be tough but if I gotta wait, I'll wait.

I think they're definitely going to make one, I think the only real question is when.

News Credits: 22 · Wed Nov 11, 2015 7:16 pm

If I decide to not get the new Blast Off, would Offroad fit in as a Combaticon? I mean aesthetically.

The poll results I posted has more or less "galvanized" the position that there will indeed be aproper shuttle version of Blast-off. Too bad Vortex gets a recolor and not a Hin-D .........arggh!

Galvatronus is February right? So are we looking at March or April?

I would say its around the same time when Superion came out this year. But it is best we continue this discussion in the right thread where more knowledgeable people can help us out.

The grey, yes; maybe not so much the red windows.

UGH. If ONLY they'd used a dark maroon color instead of a slightly darker red on Scattershot. It would have made a world of difference in his deco being better. Too bad about the wonky jet mode and strict recolor of torso mode. And no Technobot limbs. But I digress...

I'll wait to see what Takara is doing with the Combaticons, then make a decision on whether or not to get Onslaught.

Combiner Wars is ending on the second wave of 2016 and their isn't any wave for computron and probably takara will make A UW computron which will probably be heavy remolds fo previous figures

Thu Nov 12, 2015 8:31 am

I never said they were being released under the combiner wars moniker, just that there is a strong rumor that we are getting the limbs.

It has been in the titans return thread about the rumors regarding Technobot limbs. It is heavily rumored that they are coming out in that line

That is all true, yes. But it doesnt exclude the possibility for a boxset like Victorion down the line.
