Not bad computron, not bad at all. Now bring on the actual toy pics

[o.supreme]

I don't think it would be Scrounge, probably just Cosmos recolored to match the Computron color scheme (ala Powerglide to G2 Superion). The guy is really obscure, with no toy that I know of, and no connection to the Technobots that I am aware of. I know Cosmos may not have any connection either, but at least he is a "futuristic" type vehicle that could sort of fit in with the Technobots.

As for being a 7-team combiner, I guess technically CW Computron *could* be the first,(if it turns out to be true) but any other could have had a legends class weapon & chest piece (or two weapons).

BWII God Neptune was close (repaint of Piranacon). They planned to add Beast Wars Razorclaw (renamed later in BW Neo as Rockbuster) as a "Target-Master" like gun along with the teams 6th member, until ultimately scaling it back to the basic 5.

Recolored Powerglide as himself for G2 Superion makes sense though. Recolored Cosmos as himself for G1 Computron doesn't. He's definitely representing a different character.
I meant the first 7 man CW team, since they have official line ups according to Hasbro.

Dammit Sunstorm! you beat me to the special arm joke! (If it is Scrounge). I do really like him. Yes, he is what he is with regards to retools and repaints, but to me he looks really good.

Oh hey, Scrounge's a repaint that's kinda sorta interesting.... oh, and the Targetmaster's reused with it too. Neat!
Ol' Straxus is going to have a hard time tearing that arm off, though.

[Robogeek1973]

It's about time we finally get to see a full pic of Computron!


Anyway, he looks pretty good, and Scrounge is a nice bonus as well even though he'll have a chubby bot mode thanks to using the Cosmos mold.

[Mindmaster]

Freaking finally. Now let's see the other teasers revealed in full.

Looking forward to seeing if this becomes a reality, Liokaiser moreso.

[skidflap]

I am liking what I am seeing. I can't wait to see what afterburner will look like.


ironic that the angry rebel is retooloed from a pacifist.

Unless Straxus is the titan figure after Trypicon

I'm glad that ole Scrounge may finally get a toy. That is awesome for him

[Generator_G1]

Scrounge will have a different head from Cosmos. Not just a straight up recolor. =)

Hasbro is really getting meta with their figures.

And it is awesome

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Looks rad! Is this the first team of 7 then?

Who is number 7?

The Payload repaint sticking off the top of the Cosmos repaint.

Oh I didn't even notice Payload there! Anyhow this set looks like it is a must-buy already.

Payload may be necessary for that mold to work, considering the tab in payload and how he can attach to Cosmos, that would be the only way this would work.

And new hands and feet are always welcome

Even though I would probably not use Payload and Cosmos for this team, it's nice to get these as bonus figures in the set.

Replace the head with the comic head and you're set.

That's awesome that he gets a new head. Now I guess I need to buy a straxus...

Though I'd rather have Computron with a new head. Here's hoping that Takara takes care of us on that front as well.

[Gearslide]

Compy seems to be using the same hands and feet as Victorion. Was hoping those pieces would get use outside of a single box-set. Also looks like the combiner head will at least be receiving a different paint job than the current Scattershot has. It's a Maroon helmet, red faceplate, and yellow visor. Not QUITE a match for the original Computron, but it's better than nothing.

Reprolabels could always make a little mouth and nose sticker to put on the faceplate.

Computron is still a box set, the Technobots will not receive individual releases. Or if you meant "single" as in "just Victorion"... he'd still have high heels

I'm aware of that. I just meant that with two combiners using them, there's more color variety.

Based on this picture from a few weeks back, it actually looks like he will have different hands and feet than Victorion, even though they will be separate dedicated hands and feet:

Oh. Huh. you're right. I looked back at Victorion, and she has pointy-tipped feet and completely different hands.

That's kind of a surprise. Would have rather them use the budget on a new head than new hands and feet, but it is what it is.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm good with the head, and i greatly appreciate the new hands and feet for sure

[Stuartmaximus]

i take it Nosecone will have the same waist issue that Brawl did? even though there's youtube vids showing you a sort of fix for that(with Brawl)
