As for Soundwave, I'm glad they didn't do the boom box mode, it just wouldn't have made sense in a pre earth setting (doing a toyline on 80s based alt modes? Knock yourselves out) I do like his ship mode but it definitely feels like they were just messing around in not mode to come up with something that could move.
thats a titanmaster from titans return, it was a lion that turned into a shield
Well, more accurately its said Titan Master's vehicle accessory.
I see, thanks for the info you two! Must have missed that one.

Sawback's the name, modeled after the Japan-only Headmaster Lione.

I'm not sure that would really work. He'd probably have to be a voyager (a voyager weaponizer would be awesome) and that would be okay but I'm not sure it would work to just retool one into the other. When it comes to lion-bots Leobreaker is among the most conventional of beast transformation schemes while Victory Leo uses a very different one, especially in regards to the lion head. That and I will contest to this day that what Victory Leo turns in to looks nothing like a lion.

Yes, I'm well aware of that but let's not forget Hasbro has often done some really, really weird retools which disregard the look/transformation scheme of a character before. All I'm saying is that a lion-themed Weaponizer happen to have basis in two characters, both associated with a guy who would make a good Leader-class toy in this trilogy who would make good use of getting another dude plugged on to them as some wonky power up. Of these two guys, one already exist in toy form for said line (Galaxy Convoy) and the other is a hypothetical figure which both the fanbase and Hasbro have talked about extensively who has never manifested in CHUG form.
All I'm saying is a Victory Leo Weaponizer retool into some crude approximation of Leobreak would be nice especially if one thing you can do with him is stick most of the bulk on a figure's arm to make a bigass claw much like how Sixgun has the hand mode. As for Voyager weaponizers it would definitely break the trend of what Hasbro has done with them so far but not be implausible since I already established there is a decent enough roster of UT-era guys who would make good larger weaponizers: Leobreaker, Overload and Wing Saber coming to mind. Possibly Tidal Wave too and the aformentionned Victory Leo being a G1 example, in his case even having the 'boots' setup all Weaponizers have.
Honestly you can make the point that Weaponizers are a more 'universal' version of what Godbomber and Victory Leo started, which is to say a 'magic mushroom' character who exist primarily to break apart into weapon parts to stick on someone else.

Also Fasttrack can totally be retooled from Cog.
