He turns into an electric toothbrush, right? He just needs a replacement head and then he'll be good to go.

Pretty sure that some of the decoy suits (Metalhawk and Landmine in this case) allow you to see the Prime Master face when they're in the suit.

Yeah, that's the deal for Cloudburst. I guess they just figured human faces would be too weird, but the monster faces of Skullgrin, Bludgeon etc. are fine.

Screw hasbro, that's his new name, canonized, because that is awesome :michaelbay:

Terrorcons look amazing, can't wait to see abominus, since it's based on silverbolt, it's already set to be the best combiner in the line.

And that knee kibble on the stegosaurus though... :BOOM:

Windcharger looks really dumb

the pretenders are a waste of money, like the idea of using the matrixs' as faces though, that could have some cool potential :-?

Those Terrorcons all look great. Many of them are much improved over their G1 counterparts, especially in robot modes where they don't have stubby arms. The only one that may be a slight downgrade is Hungrr, if only because his original figure was one of the better G1 offerings.

Candy corn for scale.

I like what I'm seeing here. I'll still probably only combine them once or twice before forever keeping them in either dino or bot modes.

Yes, there is some parts-swapping there. And how is reusing a couple of parts from one figure constitute 'phoning in'? That's actually kinda clever. Hasbro is saving money, while still giving us something fairly different and unique. They're learning from Combiner Wars, and we're not getting rehashes of the same figures over and over. In addition, they're reusing parts from one of (if not the best) of the Combiner War Voyagers.

Can't speak for Death, but while I don't have a problem with the shared parts/engineering, I'd still argue they 'phoned it in' a little bit for unrelated reasons. I'm not a designer but surely those front legs could've been done so many other ways - as it is they look vestigial and generally bad.

Admittedly, he looks better in color and I don't hate him, but I'm sure they could've done just a bit more to bring him up to par. Much like Sludge with the Dinobots, I'm mostly interested in him to complete the Terrorcons/Abominus - on his own he's a fine figure, but with all the other home-runs in this line he'd be pretty low down the priority list if not for his connections.

Speaking of home-runs... I absolutely adore Blot's hand transformation. The way they did the Wolverine-claws to beast mode hands is perfect and ingenious and I love it lots and lots

Guys? I think we just inadvertently discovered another combiner coming out of this line.

Cutthroat's stock CG render has a head like his G1 toy, but the actual toy sample on display has a different head, one that instead looks like Wildfly/Yokuryu.

Plus, Snarl has guns on his Stegosaurus head, not unlike Doryu:

We just might be getting a Dinoking out of this line.

I took a second look at those legs of Hun-grr's. Completely agree. Something about them just seems...off. They almost look hollow in the back, and if that's the case, I really am being turned off by the figure. I'm probably wrong on that account, though.

I do like the look of Cutthroat/Windrazor. Dunno why. Maybe it's just my bias toward aerial characters. :lol:

Definitely gonna get this group, though.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I'm guessing Monstructor/Dinoking would end up being a boxset much in the same way Liokaiser was; since they can't do six components and they need to compile members into a torso.

Ok, let's see who's a retool of who here:

- Hun-Gurrr: new mold, general skeleton based on CW Silverbolt. No reused parts tho.
- Cutthroat: sorry Kurona, he does reuse parts of PotP Swoop. I'm spotting the upper legs, the arms and the inner half of the wings to match Swoop's.
- Sinnertwin: new
- Rippersnapper: new
- Blot: new

As far as I can tell of course.
