And if they can pull it off, then their complaints will be justified.
The toy designers at Hasbro and Takara are people too, they can't do the impossible. If anything, they're going out of the way and doing extra work to make sure fans can get the best of both worlds and can have two sets of solid toys instead of one giant jumbled-up mess. I still hear people complaining about the unstable Energon Superion combiner - and look how simple he was!
Dude..that was brilliant.

Now i want to know if Bonecrusher will be part of it, he better be for continuity sake. It's enough crap they called Brawl Devastator in TF1.

Ok that doesn't add up, going by that the legs will be short and stumpy and he will have no mid-section

and what happened to the 9 cons confirmed by the other 'reliable' source?
I don't mean to complain at good news but like I said it doesn't add up

I mentioned it earlyer people have and will, if the latest update turns out not to be true and we are stuck with a non combining version the kit-bashers would make it combine (I may have a go but Im no-where near compitent enough)

I hadn't noticed that. I would guess that there probably are 9 in that case, since they need something to make up the torso. Whether those would be vehicle drones or transforming bots we'll have to wait and see.
I'm also inclined to suspect Devastator ends up with gorilla-like proportions. I have a feeling I read something suggestive of that elsewhere several weeks back. I actually wouldn't be totally against it. He'd be well set for going on a Kong-style city smashing rampage.
It may also be possible that the arms will be made of smaller size class vehicles than the legs, so it's not necessarily gorilla proportions. Construction vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. The legs could be formed from like those uber massive trucks.

Just that cement truck is roughly the same mass and size of optimus primes truckcab....if not more mass....
so we got a bot with a HEAD the same mass as OPPrime


this thing is gonna be HUGE !




king kong? this guy is gonna make king kong look like a midget....
BRING IT!
ow btw.... if this whole thing turns out to false information to get us worked up about the movie and the constructicons don't turn up in the movie..... Bay is gonna get shot , seriously :p

COLLOSAL NUCLEAR WEDGIE!

No don't shoot him. We should dispose of him in the true way of the Geek:
COLLOSAL NUCLEAR WEDGIE!
I would have to agree with you, because my first thought (shooting a precision guided nuclear missile up his mis-informing ass) would, frankly, be wasting the brilliant irony that is MBay dying in a massive explosion...
JMHO, of course...

The damn "price class" system ruins a lot of TF toys IMO. I'd like to see scale models, with detail that goes as far as the masterpiece series, but Hasbro wants to keep things cheap, so instead you get a Hummer H2 thats bigger than a GMC Topkick pickup! Also love how Jazz is larger than bumblebee.
