They can.

The Prime Masters (and by extension Titan Masters), Enigmas and Matrix Cores all have the same basic shape, so they can be endlessly swapped out. Spots for them are the:

- Legends Class cockpits
- Deluxe Class Hand Armor
- Voyager Class Foot Armor and Enigma cavity (Grimlock's mouth, Starscream's cockpit)
- Leader Class Matrix

In fact, Combiners can fit a whopping 7 of them!

Thanks I also didn't know about the legends thing either so I'm guessing that Slash has this compatability as well.

Would be really cool if the next titan after predaking was a new Primus which had spaces for all 13 prime masters.

That's a pretty cool and smart idea
We will see...

Rodimus is clunky, but I like it better than Evolution Optimus. At least it gets the idea right with Hot Rod and his car alt mode and Rodimus and his alt mode. The only thing missing is the battle station (though I have seen some workable able fan modes) but Rodimuss never used that in faction anyway.

Optimus is less satisfying. Both robot modes are alright but the truck mode is terrible for no good reason (they really couldn't hide those arms better?) and the truck wouldn't be Orion Pax's alt mode anyway. They really should've figured out a way to get an Alt mode for Orion out of there too, but I think the whole thing was too much for their current budget.

They could have designed the tractor Like War Within Optimus Prime but that wouldn't have been G1 enough.

My bet is on them being a boxset. Does anyone think these will be a surprise wave 5/6 release?

I'd love to get

legends Class Eject, Legends Class (Blue Decepticon Casette)

Piranacon

Monstructor

Road Caesar

G2 Defensor

Of course, Many fans wanted the Headmaster Horrorcons for TR, which was seemingly perfectly geared for them at the Voyager scale size. We don't always get what we want

I'm sorry, but that's hideous. He looks like someone poured pea soup all over him. Slag, Snarl and Grimlock were solid colors in G2, and Swoop gets that? Perhaps it was for the best that he was never released.

Smart idea, so Hasbro will be able to complete their collection of unsold CW G2 boxsets in the warehouse.

1. Notice how its at the bottom of my wants list, so not really a priority, and

2. Also for the record, I never really understand why G2 sets were released in the first place. But yeah, I've always felt if something is going to fail, you should go all out, and not half-ass it.
