I couldn't care less about the others, but a Titan Class Predaking would be so much awesome.

Also, it wasn't on the list, but a Titan Class Piranacon would also be on top of my list.

I'm holding out for Leader Class Rung.

The only appropriate size class for the great and all mighty Rung

It may even dethrone Alpha Bravo... :-?

He has to be able to hold couch sessions with Fort Max. Anything smaller would just look ridiculous. =P~

All kidding aside I really hope we get a deluxe Rung sometime soon. He really deserves a figure.

Hasbro brings back Action Masters only so they can continue to keep Rung's alternate mode a secret. :lol:

REALY hope Terrorcon trademark means Abominus. Vehicle combiners are great, now let's get some MONSTERS in here!

Punishment brought about my favorite version of Barricade. I loved what they did with him. It is also possible that we have a new decepticon combiner coming and he could be part of it.

Would also love to see the beast combiners. except for the Technobots, we would have all the regular combiners

HA!

In all seriousness: Roberts needs to reveal what his alt mode does so they can make a toy of him and make it work. I honestly believe he has the ability to fertilize sparks and essentially create new life. (MTMTE 17 has him stepping off with Rodimus, so maybe he revived Luna-1 sparks). Makes sense why the Functionalists would hate him too. I hope so: Rung has been such a good character that I hope he really does get a moment to shine (and a toy I can add to my Lost Light crew

)

The Dream:
Combiner Wars/Generations updates to the classic characters
The Reality:
RiD easy-to-transform garbage that doesn't even get released anyways

An actual Generations bad-cop Barricade would be pretty neat, especially with CW Brawl around the corner. Maybe then we could get Blackout, Bonecrusher, and Frenzy...

If this means CW Predaking, I will explode with happiness and Skittles.

Trust me I love Seacons as much as the next guy but I don't know if titan class would be right for them.

Why? It would be easy to do with them what they did with Devastator, which is basically make oversized versions of the G1 figures.

Rung is the ultimate irony for Functionism- his name is his alt-mode and he's part of a very ornate ladder-combiner which can be climbed to talk to the Titans!

News Credits: 13 · Mon Sep 07, 2015 5:52 pm

I had a feeling Brawn would be coming next year, i mean, one look at Gears and you know whats coming. Who knows, maybe Swerve will be repainted into Outback as well. As far as Predacons and Terrorcons go, Bring them on!!!!!! It will be so nice to be able to get all the teams from the US series in 2 years time, just hope the waves last since my wallet is in reccession mode right now. I just hope Divebomb's wings do come off and go on the back of Predaking given how each combiner team has gone through changes in these new iterations

1. Bonecrusher is one of the Constructicons.

2. Frenzy and Rumble have mixed up their colors so many times that any toy of one (maybe except the movie Frenzy) could be repurposed as the other. So that means that with the rumoured TW Rumble, you have Frenzy.

Please be a Combiner Wars Predaking and Abominus. We need more beasts, we need more Decepticons, we need more awesome.

A Classics Barricade would be pretty cool though he could be a new character in RID. Not sure who Backtrack is and a new Classics Wheelie could be cool, While Brawn would be awesome since the old classics toy isn't quite as cool as it used to be

I know it would be easy but it wouldn't really fit. Devastator was the first combiner so him being giant kinda makes sense and if they do titan Predaking that too would make sense because he was the largest combiner. If they did do a titan Piranhacon I wouldn't think twice about buying it, I just don't think realistically they Will.

I don't think it would work very well to have a voyager size guy be a weapon for Piranacon. He'd definitely have to be a single guy at deluxe size. At that point, why not just do them like everyone else with a repaint of legends Shockwave since they were originally scramble city style combiners rather than separate like Predaking and Devastator.

It's going to be hard to top the original G1 Predaking, as far as aesthetics, though. That puppy is impressive on my shelf

True ... he was probably the best looking of the combiners. The only way to top it would be to increase the articulation.

Making the combined mode more proportionate would work. At least lengthening the upper legs in combine mode.

After seeing all of this stuff and thinking about the implications of these names being retrademarked, all I can think of is this.

You guys have to calm down a bit. Trademarks arent filed at the tail end of the production cycle so I am not sure we would be getting these so soon. Also, Hasbro did say there were no plans for Beast combiners and a firm no is rare from them (instead of the typical we'll see which give hope that never pans out). And if Predaking is released, I am pretty certain it will not be typical scramble city. Hasbro said they will make one titan a year and there arent that many to go around. Pradaking would be much better served as a Titan. I think this trademark is for a titan predaking, not sure if it will come out next year or the one after (with Fort Max probably coming out next year).

Hasbro has given us deluxes in the past that barely transformed such as movie scorponok and ravage. They could also go that way with Rung and simply give him a different mode to be in rather than a new full out alt mode.

Rumble and Frenzy have been rumoured to already be part of the Titan Wars line to fit into Blaster/Soundwave. We already have Buzzsaw so it makes sense that these are going to follow.
