Looks like it. So I'm betting that's either their 6th member or that each of them are coming with an AM as their breastforce partner.

Our first glimpse of this guy was on CW Computron's box, so I'm pretty sure he was at least intended to carry the CW label, even if that winds up not being the case in the end.

He was also shown on some recent Platinum Edition boxes, like the Autobot Heroes one. I guess Hasbro no longer cares, as Combiner Wars and Platinum Edition are both under the Generations label.
Was it? We'd first seen standalone artwork of the figure before any toy photos, and then the toy photo we saw at BotCon this year was from the Platinum Edition Autobot Heroes set. Computron's box wasn't at BotCon, so was there a pic of the box that showed Liokaiser on it?Zeedust wrote:Pretty...JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And as a reminder, it's quite possible that with Combiner Wars over, Liokaiser is a Platinum Edition instead.

I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I'll shut up now.

Also Alpha Bravo as Deathcobra.

I would love to know how Hasbro came to the decisions they made when designing this "Liokaiser" set. They could have dropped either Drillhorn or Killbison to include Jallguar instead, giving the team a lot more mold diversity. I know that Jallguar is supposed to be a racing buggy, but I think a black repaint/retool of CW Dragstrip would have suited his original silhouette rather well. For that matter, they could have left out one of the planes too (either Guyhawk or Hellbat) to Jallguar, though at least the plane molds used are technically more different than the two versions of the tank mold are. At the end of the day, I know that Jallguar is the odd man out, not being one of the arms or legs of the gestalt form, but Hasbro has made bigger changes and concessions to established G1 characters before in the name of making a "good/cool/modern" product.
Also, are we 100% sure that the torso will be Deathsaurus? That teal screams Leozack to me, and what would Liokaiser be without the LEO part? Yes, the black and red detailing can also point to Deathsaurus, and the teal could be a nod to his more traditional blue coloring. Maybe it's some weird amalgamation of the two (thought that kind of weird fictional shoe-horning seems to be more Takara Tomy's MO).
Given the extensive retooling Takara Tomy was willing to do to give us the spectacular Unite Warriors Computron, I hope that, if they choose to tackle Liokaiser, they ditch the Sky Lynx torso, retool Silverbolt (yet again), and come up with a way to attach a "Legends" scale version of Jallguar to the torso.
for a Takara retooled non exclusive version.fenrir72 wrote:Hopefully Hb is gonna put a face in that mouth cavity or retool the head to recreate the Leokaizer head in the anime.

It... has a retooled combiner head, it's just a little hard to make out against the helmet

If that's the case, as the face is indeed hard to see
