I already wanted to get kickback only for clouder, that just makes it harder to say no.

Maybe they'll retool blitzing and release him with a different head to get the double power master vibe.

Hope so, since we are getting a Magnus Prime out of Girai

Usually I won't jump to speculation but I think he will. There arnt too many leader molds to imagine now unless they pull a total twintwist and Soundblastet(one is probably happening) and since they're using the Ginrai mold I think they will since that mold has combining engineering.

I was confused myself, but I think they might be onto something there. The Combiner ports are where they would be on Road Caesar; and he was just a guy standing on two cars, so...

Sounds plausible.
Mold a new chest piece which is already a separate piece, give him a new head, and repaint a couple of CW cars, and presto.. Legends Road Caesar.
CW Prowl, and Sunstreaker should do nicely for Braver and Laster respectively.

But how are they going to turn a parts leprosy trailer into a vaguely F1 car?

The idea is baffling to the point where it would be far easier to just make the components be completely separate molds from Godbomber.Terrsolpix wrote:Overcracker wrote:Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:A combiner character reduced to a single person?TheAmazingBrave wrote:So, anyone think we'll get a Road Caesar out of Godbomber here?

Precisely because all the trailer parts come off as well as the legs. Look at the base skeleton. Any Part that is removable replaceable with something entirely different. You can turn the trailer parts into car parts. Sure it would be a larger car in relation to the other 2, but that was already the case with the original Road Caesar.
Since everything comes off, you are left with just arms and upper torso to which you can add anything you want.

I don't see the point, really. Try making a stand-alone robot with just Godbomber's torso, then we'll talk. Besides, not every single toy has to be retooled, you know?

It's just convenient. That's like asking asking why do people call Optimus just Optimus and not Optimus Prime all the time. Yeah his trailer combining is super Ginrai but still the same dude.
We're also not Japanese.

Also I know its a 3P Overlord in one of those pics...but what is its name exactly?
Posted by Sabrblade on May 25th, 2017 @ 2:44pm CDT
Though, the pic of the little Headmaster dude placed inside the missile launcher did bring back memories of Spock's "Wrath of Khan" funeral.
Also, that gaping mouth box art is so bonkers it's hilarious.

Mastermind Creations Carnifex, based on Overlord's IDW design. However, the one in the picture is using the 'Continuum' upgrade kit (also made by MMC) to make him a bit more geewunny, adding God/Powermasters, a new head, and some other stuff.

Just from the pictures it looks like a definite yes. The bit that opens up is the panel over the vents; so everything - seating included - would be stored in there.

Don't we have earlier pictures showing that it fits 3 behind the windows?

But hey, at least I'll get him within 2 weeks. If I'd supported the local importer, well I might get him in time to discuss him by the end of next year.

I paid $64.30 USD after paypal exchange charges from Amiami.

Roughly $86AU. HLJ have been good to me though for well over a decade.
