Thanks to Hobby Watch new pictures have surfaced for the March Age or the Primes Takara Tomy releases. AOTP-53 Guzzle is a remold of Brawl where AOTP-54 is a repaint of Sky-Byte in his original Transmetal colors as Cyber Shark. AOTP-55 will be Skyguard and AOTP-56 is Breakaway, providing limbs to Nexus Prime. AOTP-57 will be the "missing Aerialbot" Alpha Bravo.
In addition AOTB-EX will be the Takara Tomy of Powerlinx Red Alert complete with the 8 pack of Mini-cons- Swindle (for Starscream), Sparkplug (for Optimus Prime), Longarm (for Red Alert), Leader-1 (for Megatron), Windshear (for Wheeljack), and the Dark Saber created by Runway, Jetstorm, and Sonar. Although we have already seen sneak peeks of these figures its always nice to revisit the photography of upcoming releases.

I wonder if Guzzle would still be a combiner limb?

Definitely looks like it. He still appears to have the ankle tilt joint on the side of his abs, and he seems to transform exactly like Brawl as well as having all the ports in the correct places, so yes, it seems it retains the ability to combine with Onslaught.

So, Guzzle, Alpha Bravo, then maybe a Swindle repaint/retool, and another deluxe. Finally, a new character that maybe could be an Onslaught retool/repaint for an original combiner à la Combiner Wars?

Yes, that is possible.. I'm thinking Onslaught is going to be retooled into Hotspot and the result will be a Defensor with a tank leg and Shuttle arm.

Also, Dead End repainted into Streetwise. You heard it here first folks.
Possibly Swindle into FirstAid some how.

Guzzle as a combiner limb makes me think of that panel from Last Stand of the Wreckers. Hot Spot into Pyro seems plausible, especially given that these new combiner torsos come with battle stations like Pyro did back in the day.

Ironfist could maybe be made from Swindle, and Vortex or Blades could make a Rotorstorm? Although Rotorstorm is usually a much different-looking helicopter, so I don't know how well that would work.

Wrong configuration

And I think Guzzle and Alpha Bravo are made only for the sake of Vortex and Brawl having *something* to be redecoed into. Blast Off is covered with Sky Guard, but Swindle...

Hound cannot work, but if they could do Gobots, Geeper Creeper would be great for the jeep and Scpay-C could be the other arm.
The Onslaught repaint could be Road Ranger.

I'd buy a Road Ranger.

I never had G1 prime as a kid, but I did own Road Ranger and he was my Prime.
But the'd need to retool Onslaught to a flat nose truck instead of long nose.

The Blast Off repaint is giving me Cobra Commander vibes... if you squint hard enough, it looks like him the times he was wearing that blue piece of cloth on his head instead of the metal helm of the beginnings.
