I'm getting confused myself. TFwiki just made me more confused.

It doesn't really matter. Refer to them however you want. They're toys.

Hotspot was a different style fire truck (and one I definitely saw more in 'real life'). I have the CW Protectobots, and they aren't the best, but they aren't the worst either. I probably would want Hotspot to just be Hotspot. Although the other combiners didn't have the 'frame' aspect of Menasor, I could see them still creatively implementing the same kind of transformation for all those guys.

I think when it comes to the turn of the other combiners, they'll approach each one as its own thing and design the combining system around that (while Menasor had lucky accident compatibility with CW, I bet the others won't even have that.)
However, if rumours are to be believed we might not be looking at another combiner till the line after next if they were to follow the stunticon pattern.

Yeah. I held up my plans for Unite Warriors Superion for the possibility, but he's back on the menu because I can enjoy a good two years before I need to think about replacing it.

Just buy the KO combiner wars, it's a lot cheaper and worth the money you pay!

I'm almost aghast to admit it, but I have the KO combiner wars Constructicons that are 'deluxe' sized and I can tell you they are just as good quality as the Hasbro ones, only smaller.

Indeed. My comment was a one-off. I'm getting the real Unite Warriors Superion. LOL

I don't mind, as much as I love the original pretenders, I also would not mind a Monstructor using the shell/robot fusion
