Meh. Even TakaraTomy couldn't help these. I do like the idea of unified color schemes, but still...bleh.

Grimmaster's box is leaps and bounds better than Grimstone's, I'll say that much. If I were richer, I might buy it just for the box. But I'm not richer, I'm just a poor college student, so no thanks.

I liked the pcc line, I'm just not that sure on these prices. Though I missed the dinobots combiner the first time, so I may just bite the bullet on this one.

It's easy enough to find Grimstone, but you'll probably end up paying around $30 for it sealed.

I'm wondering, was TakaraTomy able to really fix the problems Double Clutch had? I know Hasbro tried, but it still fell short in some areas.

I never did use DC's drones with him. They work much better with crankcase as not-quite-menasor.

Can't wait to find out who these guys really are.
At best, a good guess as to who Grimmaster is would be Kakuryu having switched allegiances, and Roadmaster is likely a Junkion character.

Wouldn't surprise me if that actually was him.

Even though he has no way of using them, I can't help but think Roadmaster's drones would be at more home with DotM Megatron, what with the 'rusted Mad Max' theme they share.

Those boxes are absolutely excellent.
Airmaster (and Skyhammer) would be much better robots if they did not suffer from G1 Grimlock robot head syndrome.

I'll wait until we know who they are, but I'll probably get Dozer v. Air, maybe Grim.
As for who they are, my guesses are:
Grimmaster: Slag
Dozermaster: Stonecruncher
Airmaster: Sky High
Racemaster: Backstreet
Roadmaster: Roughstuff

Drone names
Grimmaster:
Saber-Ryu Drone
Illumina III Drone
Caesar-Ryu Drone
Cross-Ryu Drone
Racemaster:
Rapide Drone
Agile Drone
Schnell Drone
Depressa Drone
Roadmaster:
Scrapper Drone
Waster Drone
Trasher Drone
Junker Drone
It's due to these Drone names that I say Grimmaster's gotta be Kakuryu and Roadmaster a Junkion.

I see Roadmasteer being a Junkion, but the end of Victory aside, I can't see it for Kakuryu. And what about Racemaster?

Star Saber, the Illumina II, Road Caesar, and Landcross, all Victory that they refer to. The Triceratops/Styracosaurus points to Kakuryu, funnily enough.

I know that, I just feel like it's a bit of a stretch. Then again, this is Takara, and they tried to fit RID and the Unicron Trilogy into G1

2. No, it is not TakaraTomy the toy company who made the identities of these United EX toys. It was Andrew Hall (A.K.A. Hydra) who did that. He's the one who made Rollermaster be Straxus, and that was a surprise. Grimmaster being Kakuryu is no less of a stretch, what with three of the drones ending with "-ryu" in their names.

1. No they did not. Car Robots is G1, but RiD is not. Nor did they try to make the Unicron Trilogy into G1. That's a separate timeline.phase wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Drone names
