I thought that comic was on par with Beast Within as 'didn't happen'! :-P

Caelus — would have been awesome. nice thought.

O. Supreme — excellent collection, man! I like how you've fleshed out those extra torsos, too. The TFCC and Botcon combiners are a real cherry on top! Bravo.

Funny... the way Hasbro released extras kinda obliges each of us to concoct our own custom teams.

I'm still a bit stumped on pairing limbs with my own Grand Scourge... and thinking of doing my own custom-painted Magnaboss torso/limbs as well as ones for Modulus, since the stickers seem to be quite elusive. I wish they class had been a wee bit more kind to the masses. Sell some stickers on the club store or such... or through Toyhax/Reprolabels.

and we still got a dinobot combiner years later, lets be honest we can almost see some inspiration on the voyager screamer from this guy

HA! Thanks for that. Until an official name comes out... I can at least call this new dude Megascream.

It's what i plan to do

Well, I do have to admit this is actually quite a nice color scheme for an upgraded/reborn Starscream. I'm just not sold on the name Megascream. It's not as cool or as punchy as going from Megatron to Galvatron.

Starshriek?
Spaceyell?
Galactscream?

...meh.

Yeah but see, that one would not have flown in the '80 AND its already taken by another Starscream.

Amiami is gonna kill my wallet with their sales tax less prices if this keeps up in 2018! Windblade tragetmaster may be the last in the line before they transition to Legends 2.0 or is this 3.0?

BBTS prices and the rest are just space holders until the official release/SRP shows up.

My concern is that the QC improves and the plastics are more sturdy. Decos are sure to wow the beholder!

how stable is this configuration?

News Credits: 1 · by **ebo716** » Mon Dec 04, 2017 7:55 pm

I’m not sure about the shoulders, but the extra feet on the sides of the legs aren’t pegged in anywhere and would fall off extremely easily.

I meant the shoulders, who cares about the feet?

Oh dear, the implications of those ID number abbreviations are quite unfortunate.

I knew Legends class Skywarp is handy on this combined mode

Not my Photo though.

Gotta admit this looks REALLY impressive. And man, I'd hate to be Megatron should he come face to face with something like that...

Nothing yet, better wait until after the current Titan, Predaking, is released.

Unfortunately, Megazarak/Scorponok placed 2nd on the vote list. and after Predaking, Megazarak then Omega Supreme.

I can't wait for Titan Class Megazarak (Scorponok) 8-}

I recall, when PotP revealed that we'd see Pretenders that some of us wondered 'but what about Thunderwing' and I know I was among them. While it's possible we may see him as a pretender shell, if there is no extra leader mold for a jet/spaceship (poor Star Saber...): what if Starscream was remolded into Thunderwing? I did notice that screamer's jet mode has a lot of molded little details on his jet top, including what appears to be zig-zag patterns molded into him. Now who else has that and is a jet? Thunderwing.

Pure speculation and I'm probably wrong but I'd settle for that if there is no planned Star Saber for PotP.

I believe they meant the classic style Pretenders with just a simple shell without any gimmicks. Which is just fine, the transforming kind hasn't really be done properly in a long time. In fact, the most recent toy that comes remotely close would be Brave Masterpiece Exkizer... which had a teeny tiny inner robot compared to the "shell".
