If you are referring to the digibash, then don't worry about that, it's not real as far as I could find. But the artwork sure is awesome! and uh, Deathsaurus is not on the team...

Except Deathsaurus is 'confirmed' to be the torso, as far as I know - unless that's changed in the last couple of days

Whoa whoa what??? How did I miss something like that! especially when they have 2 different guys to choose from for a torso, like Leozack!

Yeah, Deathsaurus is the torso and Computron gets new hands and feet >:oP

So far, both art pieces (Liokaiser and Computron) seem to be legit. But concrete info about the sets is still unavailable.

But more specifically the colors of the art

I knew Comp was supposed to get new feet, but idk how I missed a Deathsaurus being a torso.

All I really want is for both combiners to be true and to come out

Deathsaurus deserves his own unique un-CW'd figure preferably a Leaderclass but I wouldn't mind a likely titan class Tripticon remold of him either.

I really don't want that Deathsaurus thing to be true. Really don't. So I fully agree with you. I want it to still be Leozack

While Combiner Wars G2 Superion has been chilling in Canada for a couple of weeks now, we finally have our first US retail listing for this toy. It was being sold and shipped from Amazon.com today for 99.99$ and he sure seems popular because he was sold out before our very own Scotty P could go to checkout (who, along with Bounti76, made us aware of this listing).

If the price sounds good to you and you would wish to get him soon, be sure to bookmark this link to see if he comes back in stock. If he does, please let us know in the thread for products that are now available online.

Looks cool but it's definitely a digibash. The colors are wrong on the torso, head, drillhorn and killbison

... and the killer: that's Gen. Ratbat's head, aka Gen. Scourge's alternate head mold.

So That's where that head came from. Interesting

And here's something funny: when first leaked via Gen. Scourge's instructions, some of us thought it was Leozack

Oh man, I want that toy now! (the japan ratbat). How the hell is Takara the one with the toys representing caracters of comics that arent even translated in japanese yet?!

Art is pretty darn legit. And yes the main rumour is that the torso is deathsaurus.

You can call him leozack if you want. People call battle core prime Nova Prime, you can do as you wish. Though you should be aware of one thing though. This being the skylynx mold, leozack will not have a robot mode and if you look at the pick, the torso does incorporate the black jalguar stomack segment. So your Leozack would be a teal and black dino bird.

Pretty much the idea behind this is that it can be a good looking liokaiser combiner but that in individual modes, it would look like an update to this with 2 less smaller vehicles:

Transformers Victory Liokaiser Gallery

Probably just a redeco. It looks to be pretty much the same mold with a little head sculpted into the pre-existins combiner head.

I'm pretty sure that the head of pretooled by Hasbro, but by the time the Generations line had switched to its FOC phase, the size of the Deluxe class had shrunk down to where the Scourge mold was too big to properly fit into the Deluxe class packaging Hasbro was using for both the FOC and Thrilling 30 phases of the Generations line, and just forgone releasing the mold as Senator Ratbat.

Takara, however, did not have so rigid a size class system as Takara and was able to fit the Scourge mold into their equivalent of Deluxe class packaging. And since the Japanese Generations line was basing itself on the FOC and Thrilling 30 portions of the Hasbro line, Takara was able to release Ratbat amid the rest of its IDW-based figures. As for how Takara released the IDW figures as representations of the IDW character despite the lack of IDW's comics being in Japanese, Andrew Hall was the writer of the Japanese bios for the Japanese Generations line at the time, and thus was able to write bios that appropriated the toys to the American FOC and IDW characters that they represented in English-speaking markets.

Not to mention that MTMTE does have a somewhat healthy fan following in Japan, with Japanese fans reading the comics in English (I believe ComiXology is also accessible to the Japanese) and drawing tons of MTMTE fan art.

Oh no, I have caused more confusion. These are not my pictures, I found those on the Singapore Transformers Fans Unite facebook page and posted them. I haven't even found a combaticon for cheaper than $25 yet so it may be a bit before I get them. Sorry guys, I just posted them for the fun of the pic, not that they were mine...

I really need to get back in the swing, I really suck
