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'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! :twisted:

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.

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

Titan Hero Autobot Rung

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...

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

1. Bonecrusher is one of the Constructicons.

2. Frenzy and Rumble have mixed up their colors so many times that any toy of one (maybe except the movie Frenzy) could be repurposed as the other. So that means that with the rumoured TW Rumble, you have Frenzy.

Please be a Combiner Wars Predaking and Abominus. We need more beasts, we need more Decepticons, we need more awesome.

A Classics Barricade would be pretty cool though he could be a new character in RID. Not sure who Backtrack is and a new Classics Wheelie could be cool, While Brawn would be awesome since the old classics toy isn't quite as cool as it used to be

I know it would be easy but it wouldn't really fit. Devastator was the first combiner so him being giant kinda makes sense and if they do titan Predaking that too would make sense because he was the largest combiner. If they did do a titan Piranhacon I wouldn't think twice about buying it, I just don't think realistically they Will.

I don't think it would work very well to have a voyager size guy be a weapon for Piranacon. He'd definitely have to be a single guy at deluxe size. At that point, why not just do them like everyone else with a repaint of legends Shockwave since they were originally scramble city style combiners rather than separate like Predaking and Devastator.

True ... he was probably the best looking of the combiners. The only way to top it would be to increase the articulation.

Making the combined mode more proportionate would work. At least lengthening the upper legs in combine mode.

You guys have to calm down a bit. Trademarks arent filed at the tail end of the production cycle so I am not sure we would be getting these so soon. Also, Hasbro did say there were no plans for Beast combiners and a firm no is rare from them (instead of the typical we'll see which give hope that never pans out). And if Predaking is released, I am pretty certain it will not be typical scramble city. Hasbro said they will make one titan a year and there arent that many to go around. Pradaking would be much better served as a Titan. I think this trademark is for a titan predaking, not sure if it will come out next year or the one after (with Fort Max probably coming out next year).

Hasbro has given us deluxes in the past that barely transformed such as movie scorponok and ravage. They could also go that way with Rung and simply give him a different mode to be in rather than a new full out alt mode.

Rumble and Frenzy have been rumoured to already be part of the Titan Wars line to fit into Blaster/Soundwave. We already have Buzzsaw so it makes sense that these are going to follow.

I really hope Brawn is a new mould, he needs it. TFCC Barricade is one of my favs so they would have to make a new one pretty great to replace it. They already showed Rung's alt mode, it was the club/blunt beam type thing Swerve used to beat up the side of Paddox's head. But I doubt that is its only use, hehe.

Yeah, but considering, before legends nemesis, it was (I think), nemesis leobreaker, and armada nemesis prime, in the last 15 years, I think we could stand to get at least a couple.

And, as mp 10 black proved, the paint scheme can be made in such a way that it doesn't seem lazy (those subtle, yet incredible teal accents)

I mean, no one says you have to buy every nemesis type character that TT makes, but, being able, and knowing, that you can choose your fav mold, or coolest update (aoe nemesis for me) is really nice >:oP

And really, I don't want to hear "reeks of laziness" until we discuss this issue of 9+ seekers across 3 size ranges in the last couple of years (foc, legends, leader, armada) :roll:

My guess is that "Backtrack" is a new trademark for "Outback," which can't be trademarked anymore (for easily understandable reasons). The name is similar enough, and his G1 mold sire Brawn has been renewed for trademark as well, so make of that what you will.

Outback already has a replacement name: Fallback.

"Backtrack" was the name of an Armada Mini-Con and an unreleased Movie toy.

True, but I don't think Hasbro is renewing that name to release a new version of an Armada minicon or make an addition to the expanded universe of the live-action movies. Fallback has been a replacement name for Outback, yes, but it doesn't mean it has to be forever. Maybe it's not trademarkable anymore for some reason. Other characters have gone through multiple renames over the years too. "Fallback" as a new name for G1 Outback is as good a guess as any at this point.

I'll buy any Black repaint with Pleasure there are people who collect such things with pleasure - I'm one of them.

You can blame things like Nucleon Quest Super Convoy or Black Landcross & Six Turbo for that I guess as much as the more usual answer which would be Nemesis Prime is cool.

It's OK that there is lots of reasons for things to be Black too from the simple Stealth Explanations to exotic armours.

Also I like that Black Reral Rex - and I'm still very happy to see repainted official toys too. I'm not the sort of person to complain every time Soundwave gets a Black paint job - I'll positively welcome it for the Titan Wars one too - seems like a shoe in that Blaster and Soundwave will get their usual repaints at some point either from Hasbro or Takara.

I'd be quite happy to see the rest of the Minibots repainted Black too but that is a conversation topic for another thread.

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...

1. Bonecrusher is one of the Constructicons.

2. Frenzy and Rumble have mixed up their colors so many times that any toy of one (maybe except the movie Frenzy) could be repurposed as the other. So that means that with the rumoured TW Rumble, you have Frenzy.

FIRRIB

I think he was referring to the decepticon team from the first live action movie. Though the movie itself calls brawl 'devestator' (as bay liked that name better).

Anyways...

Some interesting things here, always happy to see the terrorcons get more love, and I think people would be disappointed if predaking was anything less than titan class :lol:

I know. We have Megatron, Starscream, Bonecrusher, Brawl, and (rumoured) Barricade and Frenzy. All we need is Blackout.

You guys have to calm down a bit. Trademarks arent filed at the tail end of the production cycle so I am not sure we would be getting these so soon.

You do realize that could mean a 7th version of Alpha Bravo by the time we're all said and done. Sorry, I'm getting a little tired of the rotors.

black isn't a very good deco. it's actually a lack of color. almost as bad as grey transformers.
