Actually since I come from an agricultural background I would enjoy that.

that's odd. do they mean the farm equipment or transformers that well combine?

Perhaps FoC Bruticus was just a prototype for future combiners?

I'm hoping to get more classics combiner sets for the obvious reason. Bruticus is for sure coming. I would love to get my hands on a fall of cybertron version of The aerialbots to form superion.

I'd rather get actual classics versions that turn into real things rather than made-uppy things but that's just me.

As long as they make the central bot voyager sized I'll be happy.

Aw you guys are ALL wrong!

I heard that they're going to be doing TransformersMarvelStarWars Crossovers Combiners! Imagine Optimus Prime as the center part with Iron Man as the right arm, Obi-Wan as the left arm (complete with light saber!), Hulk as the left leg, and Chewbacca as the right leg! "Optimus Prime! Super Avenger Jedi Master Mode!" Oh what fun! Yay! 8-}

More? The only official one I'm aware of is 'Devastator'...and I definitely don't need any more of that!

After seeing PCC and to an extent Bruticus as well, I'll hold off on getting too excited about this tidbit until we actually see something worth 'SQUEEing' over.

TFP Constructicons are on their way, I can feel it.

If TFP has anything to do with this, I hope that this guy will be involved.

Well, NYCC did confirm that combiners are coming in Prime.

Where are you guys all getting this agriculture stuff from? :???:

I assume Combine Harvesters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combine_harvester

It will be interesting to see what combiners we get.

Hasbro, please make all fgures like Onslaught and Silverbolt voyager class. That way the limbs don't look silly.

Cant wait to see.

I personally believe that Hasbro should cease and desist all attempts at making combiner teams. they are TERRIBLE at it these days.

At least until they put serious thought into the design process and have a genuine concern for the proper "combiner" aesthetic.

Or hire employees/designer who actually do.

Yes yes yes yes yes. That is all.

If a combiner gets remade in Prime style, I really REALLY want it to be Abominus. The terrorcons have gotten FAR too little love and they just want to hug you and squeeze you and rip you to little bitty shreds! (Oh, and "stun" you... into dust. I'll never get over the G1 Decepticons definition of "stun.")

Until Hasbro shows us something a lot more impressive than FOC Bruticus I'll be sticking with the various third-parties for my combiner needs.

The Prime Terrorcons aren't anything like the G1 Terrorcons. Or, are you asking for a giant robot zombie combiner?
