Ooh, there's another thought.
Could you get megs/galvs and bludgeon to share a mold? Both turn into tanks, both (in their bigger forms) have a bit of a samurai armour vibe, complete with helmet...
Retooling needed obviously, but I don't think it'd be impossible

While the Hasbro staff did not want to reveal too much during their NYCC 2017 panel, it is clear to any fan that the wings they showed belonged to none other than the upcoming Titan Class Predaking. These are part of the Predacon Divebomb and can be removed to place in the back of the combined Predaking. You can see the detailed sculpt of both sides of the wings. John Warden was just having fun with the idea of placing the wings behind Volcanicus for visual effect, there is no word on them actually being able to connect to Volcanicus.

Seibertron has a gallery ready for this reveal which you can see by clicking here or on any of the images below.

So...nothing new. I know its only the first day of the convention. Hopefully before its over we get to see something, ANYTHING, that hasn't been previously seen yet, even Starscream's combined mode (officially) would be neat.

Photos will be posted on Seibertron soon, but check out Social Media and stuff.

There's definitely new stuff we haven't seen yet that was revealed this afternoon.

Also revealed at #NYCC2017 is a painted sample of the Volcanicus combiner! Now you can see him in all his color-y goodness in the pictures below, and in Seibertron's own gallery of the reveal, which you can see by clicking clicking here, or on any of the photos below. Does this whet your appetite for the Dinobot combiner?

His proportions look a lot better here than before. And, as correctly predicted; he isn't sagging at all compared to his greyscale prototype.

News Credits: 11 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:32 pm

I've seen pics of the preview stuff, it's all looking good! While Volcanicus does look a bit awkward, I still plan on getting all the Dinobots, though I may just display them as regular Dinobots.
Unrelated to POTP, but Trypticon is on the display too, and at this point he's pretty much Schrodinger's toy, I both want and don't want it. :BANG_HEAD:

Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:32 pm

OH man! those Terrorcons!

Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:38 pm

honestly, these reveals are better than Hascon... Dinobots are great no comparison, but The combined mode in color is better than the prototype they showed earlier.

I don't care about black rodimus, but he is pretty sweet looking too.

Abominus is where it's at this week.

where's the video? coz I was watching it on seibertrons youtube channel

oh...& btw...i want a giant Unicron too! :-P

I don't think I'll have Volcanicus in that configuration, swoop looks weird to me as an arm, I'd rather have him as a leg, and thats how I'll probably display him. Just my opinion though. ;)^

News Credits: 19 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:48 pm

Swoops wings really need to be shiny especially when the games depiction that it's supposedly based on has them -unless there is a special chrome set planned some where down the line. Can definitely live with out the combined mode for them.

News Credits: 13 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:49 pm

well, wasnt planning on dispaying the Dinobots combined anyway. the Terrorcons do look good and its nice to see we are actually getting an SG Rodimus Prime

News Credits: 16 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 4:10 pm

Kinda weird to see Prime with that mustache, but it's good to see we'll get both the normal version and the SG version in the same line.

News Credits: 226 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 4:12 pm

Volcanicus looks like a joke.

Those Terrorcons however ... :DANCE:

News Credits: 19 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 4:18 pm

why o why are they being so coy with those wings? when 99.9% of the planet already knows that they're for Titan Class Predaking

They're probably just not ready to show off even a uncoloured prototype yet.

Divebombs wings ... Trypticons leg ... it builds the interest (or so they think)

News Credits: 19 · Thu Oct 05, 2017 4:24 pm

Aye it seems to be a running trend, in future they'll probably bring out Scorponok's tail & Omega's claw

& they'll act stupid like we don't know what they are

I'd make a bet with you against that happening but ... I can see that happening, exactly as you described it. :lol:

Seibertron.com continues it's coverage of the New York Comic Con with a brand new gallery, this time of Volcanicus! This is the first time we've seen the Dinobot combiner in color, as the previous model shown at Hascon was still the greyscale prototype. Check out a selection of images below, and click on any of them to be taken to the full gallery! Keep your optics tunes to Seibertrpn.com for more updates from NYCC!

so whats with the candy corn?

Thu Oct 05, 2017 5:01 pm

So we're finally going to get the Dinobots ... with the added bonus of them being able to combine ...
But now Predaking will tower over the Dinobot combiner, as will the Predacons over the Dinobots. Come on Hasbro! If ever there were two sets of figures that should be a similar size, it's the Dinobots and the Predacons. :BANG_HEAD:
