That's similar to what I did. CW Computron is my *Betatron*, and UW is my True Computron

Wolfman Jake wrote:Yeah, I considered going that route as well, but I think Hasbro's "official" Betatron configuration, according to the box artwork, is the Optimus Maximus team with the arms swapped for the legs and visa versa. I'll come up with something else for the "Technobots B Team."
william-james88 wrote:Like I cant even imagine it. Sure, the technobots were totally different from hasbro but everything came from an existing mold/design and even if there has been a new mold, it was still going by the design of all limbs (arms folding to the side and legs being an accordion). But here we are talking about two deluxes that can fit onto each other and still fit with the scramble city limb system of combiner wars. Even Devastator didn't operate that way with each limb being made for that position. If Takara achieved it, I would buy it for sure and I would be really impressed. But I just cant conceptualize it.

To be fair, Takara did remold all the "Headmasters" heads to resemble their show (and oddly enough Sunbow's artwork from The Rebirth in many cases).
nycPrime wrote:Do you guys still think it's likely that Takara will eventually release a UW Liokaiser (within the next 12 mos)? And if so, would it likely contain no new molds, and be a standard voyager torso + 4 deluxe limbs? And I'm guessing the torso would be Silverbolt's mold, with the limbs more or less similar to Hasbro's version?
william-james88 wrote:Instead, what I think is far more probable, is they release hasbro's Liokaiser as a totally new wacky combiner, with different colours. Like they did with megatronia. To me, it would be that or nothing, just based on all we have seen so far.

That's why I wrote "bodies" in brackets. its all good
I had not realized the Sunbow thing though, I thought it twas just headmasters being used for the inspiration.
