RUMOUR! Combiner Wars (Titan Wars?) Predacons and Terrorcons, along with Brawn and Barricade might be on the way! Take it with a grain of salt, but Hasbro has applied for some rather interesting trademarks, none other than Predacon and Terrorcon, while the terms have been used recently in Transformers: Prime, they were name reuses, legacy characters at most, as they used to be two Decepticon COMBINER teams, which would make a lot of sense given the current Gestalt craze.

Also solicited were Barricade and Brawn, which could mean a predictable redeco/retool of the Swerve Legends mould for the Minibot, while Barricade is a bit more vague, could it be an update of the old Micromaster, in time for the (also still rumoured) Titan Wars? Or could it be something else entirely? Finally, a couple of days ago we also saw Backtrack and Autobot Wheelie join the groupings. Tell us in the forums, what do you think will come out of these Trademarks?

I hope this means what I think it means. I would love to see Combiner Wars Predaking and Abominus!

I'd love an official Barricade in the Generations line, mainly because I love what IDW did with him in Punishment as a cop trying to take back the meaning of being a Decepticon.

REALY hope Terrorcon trademark means Abominus. Vehicle combiners are great, now let's get some MONSTERS in here!

Forget Terrorcons and Predacons. Where's the Seacons?

I couldn't care less about the others, but a Titan Class Predaking would be so much awesome.

Also, it wasn't on the list, but a Titan Class Piranacon would also be on top of my list.

Trust me I love Seacons as much as the next guy but I don't know if titan class would be right for them. That being said if we were given the choice between titan or nothing then I'm damn sure going to pick titan.

I'm holding out for Leader Class Rung.

The only appropriate size class for the great and all mighty Rung

It may even dethrone Alpha Bravo...

He has to be able to hold couch sessions with Fort Max. Anything smaller would just look ridiculous.

All kidding aside I really hope we get a deluxe Rung sometime soon. He really deserves a figure.

Hasbro brings back Action Masters only so they can continue to keep Rung's alternate mode a secret.

Punishment brought about my favorite version of Barricade. I loved what they did with him. It is also possible that we have a new decepticon combiner coming and he could be part of it.

Would also love to see the beast combiners. except for the Technobots, we would have all the regular combiners

HA!

In all seriousness: Roberts needs to reveal what his alt mode does so they can make a toy of him and make it work. I honestly believe he has the ability to fertilize sparks and essentially create new life. (MTMTE 17 has him stepping off with Rodimus, so maybe he revived Luna-1 sparks). Makes sense why the Functionalists would hate him too. I hope so: Rung has been such a good character that I hope he really does get a moment to shine (and a toy I can add to my Lost Light crew

)

The Dream:
Combiner Wars/Generations updates to the classic characters
The Reality:
RiD easy-to-transform garbage that doesn't even get released anyways

An actual Generations bad-cop Barricade would be pretty neat, especially with CW Brawl around the corner. Maybe then we could get Blackout, Bonecrusher, and Frenzy...

If this means CW Predaking, I will explode with happiness and Skittles.

Why? It would be easy to do with them what they did with Devastator, which is basically make oversized versions of the G1 figures.

Rung is the ultimate irony for Functionism- his name is his alt-mode and he's part of a very ornate ladder-combiner which can be climbed to talk to the Titans!

I had a feeling Brawn would be coming next year, i mean, one look at Gears and you know whats coming. Who knows, maybe Swerve will be repainted into Outback as well. As far as Predacons and Terrorcons go, Bring them on!!!!!! It will be so nice to be able to get all the teams from the US series in 2 years time, just hope the waves last since my wallet is in reccession mode right now. I just hope Divebomb's wings do come off and go on the back of Predaking given how each combiner team has gone through changes in these new iterations
