Just think, one combiner made up of a Leader with two scouts (chest & Targetmaster) four limbs each with 4 PCC style weapons/minicons. Hell, lets throw in a headmaster minicon too.

There is no end to the possible combinations.

Just so we're clear on the rundown here, we've got...

A Scramble-style 5-man combiner.
A Targetmaster.
A Breastmaster/Powermaster element.
Four PCC-style combiners.
A Headmaster.
Minicons.

Okay, but we still need an Actionmaster element...somehow. And what subtypes of Transformers are we missing?

I do have one actually on-topic question. I know none of the Aerialbots do, but do any of the other Deluxe molds have pegholes on both feet, such that they could hold the Foothandguns, one on each limb?

Action masters are not a problem, you just have to give your combiner a transforming base/vehicle to roll around in while in robot mode.

That's F'n awesome. No pretender shell though? Maybe that will come with the transforming base.

And it turns out that entire combiner we've created is a mere limb for a larger combiner.

I have the points I earn from my bank credit cards linked to Amazon. I don't often buy toys from Amazon, but when I do, I come prepared with points!

I think I had them in my cart at one point. Wildrider Whoops, Brakeneck - said 19 left. Never entered my cart, though. Always showed empty. Now show unavailable. *sigh* Hoping on BBTS anyway.... And I do have the Takara sets on pre-order, just in case....

Yeah, I'm not too worried. Yet. Might have been a mistake anyway and won't be available on Amazon until then...

But that's mainly online outlets - we don't expect them to show up at TRU or Target, right? Or am I wrong about that?

There was a post explaining events in May I think. It's not easy searching from my phone. I remember several online outlets and I thought I saw some brick and mortar as well.

Yeah you are. It probably has to do with the fact they're repaints and might sit for awhile, and/or they know the other figures will sit and have to cover the cost of the cases. Probably why Robot Kingdom hasn't broken the cases up for Warrior Jazz and Sideswipe, and Legion Fix-it and Underbite. Either way neither figure is worth that much ESPECIALLY since BBTS hasn't gotten a release date right all year.

as far as I'm aware, RK doesn't break up the waves, it's all or nothing (unless one of the figures was from a previous wave, ie Silverbolt & Motormaster making up W2)

They broke up the Wave 1 RID figures, all of the CW Legends, Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leader class figures. This was the first time I've seen them not breaking up a case since I started buying from them.

I was only ever able to buy an entire wave from RK for any of the CW figures (except for Motormaster as I mentioned) - only W3 legends varied, as you could buy Groove & Viper, or Groove, Viper & Warpath (as Warpath was short-packed) - every other release I've ordered from them has been the entire wave (not case mind you, just 1ea per wave) - which is fine by me, as I wanted the lot, the only single figures I've got from them are 3P or older releases they've got floating about their warehouse.

Ya know what when I said broke up the wave I meant they sold a complete wave separate from the case. IE all 4 wave 1 RID Warrior figures as a set. You are correct in saying they don't sell individual figures usually. That's why I was surprised that Jazz and Sideswipe aren't being sold as a set.

On another note I fully expect to see 3rd party sellers pop up with Breakneck and Quickslinger at a premium.

You can order yours by clicking on the images below!

Remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

*looks at the headline*
*looks at the product images*

Every time someone misspells Brake-Neck, a puppy dies. And they also make it harder to search for news and information on the products when there are at least 3 different incorrect spellings going around.

Anyway, glad to see these guys are making it out. I'll get them eventually, but I'm in no great rush. I haven't even technically got a complete Superion yet, as I'm missing Firefly. Drag Strip is filling in.

Glad I ordered from robotkingdom. Yeah I paid a little bit more, but I get the free CW sticker set and I dont have to deal with this crap. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow at my doorstep.

That's definitely a Deluxe sized motorcycle as the right leg there.
