So am I the only one who's seeing a Snaptrap remold from skylynx? It might sound stupid at first but I think it can be done if past remolds are anything to go off of.

That'd have to be a pretty heavy remold. Snaptrap had an actual robot mode whereas Skylynx only has his beast mode.

True but they've done some pretty heavy remolds before. And I don't see the robot mode being too difficult because it would basically just be him standing up.

I would love to get Snaptrap however they decide to do him. But sadly, I don't think we'll get piranacons/predacons/terrorcons until 2017, if at all. I love the idea of Hasbro doing their teased "Titan Wars". I just hope that it doesn't put an end to the Combiner Wars line.

Well combiner wars is only going until the end of 2016, but I think we'll see combiners even after. I think combiner wars was too successful for them to stop all together.

I think so too. Even if the official "Combiner Wars" label ends, I hope we continue to get combiners in the Generations line.

making combiners is like printing money. there's no way they're gonna stop. foc bruticus was 100% crap and sold like crazy.

Exactly, they've got a standardized system now; there is no stopping them, even if we wanted too. Once they get the design for a standard quadruped, they'll probably be able to knock out most of the beast-formers.

Big difference here is that these combiners are actually good, and they represent their characters fairly well. I'm perfectly ok with how they are doing this system. It's pretty neat and interesting all at the same time.

I wasn't trying to be disparaging, I was pointing out that there's no way in the name of the great flying f@#k that has/tak are just going to toss them aside and move on to the next ip. I both want and expect to see more combiners over the next couple of years, seems like an easy way to fill out a wave to me

Just keep cranking em out! The more we get, the more "scramble" options we have! When blades cannot fly to the battle scene, I'll throw hound in there to cover for him

I would still love the fiction to deal with the aspect of scrambling

Exactly, you can't just say that you're supposed to scramble them, after giving us the 'correct way' of doing it. I've scrambled some figs, and plan to do more if I have to; I have it all planned out in fact. But if they approached it like super sentai, where each limb gave the combiner something else, it would encourage people to try and recreate each of those configurations, thus dissolving the notion of which configuration is correct and which is not. The only line that I will not cross, fiction or not, is crossing allegiances; you just don't do that - that's really weird.

So you're not into Galvatronus' mind zap ability?
I like it. It's a free pass to scramble yer face off!

Nope, I got him sporting a nice set of sports cars, like in my photos

RID Ruination scrambled

RID Ruination scrambled

I remember that; not only did it make sense, it gave them a reason to combine in a different way. However that would probably require making a new show, I doubt many kids can afford to read various comics to take part in the hypothetical scramble city lore.

Well, the Scramble City OVA was enough to get the concept shown off and understood in the length of a single episode.

Victorion will scramble too

This. It was stated that the heli-twins when positioned as the legs would allow Victorion to fly, and when positioned as arms they would allow use of Victorion's gravity manipulation power.

As was mentioned, Ruination in RiD was a great use of the scramle function, as one configuration (again) allowed flight, while the other was more of an artillery mode.

Based on the molds, I will most likely keep the helicopters as her arms and the cars as the legs due to the knee pad thing. Still hoping she looks cool either way though!

HTS doesnt ship outside the US. It's just like takaratomymall in japan that wont ship outside japan. hence why their exclusives always cost extra when bought elsewhere.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?! I just sent a message to Nuclear that their shipping policy page states that they DO ship to Canada! So..maybe? They only do standard shipping though.
