Same here. I guess they wouldn't look as cool as TFC Toys' Poseidon but I would buy them ifbodrock wrote:Terrorcons, Horrorcons -- what about the Seacons?! I'd love a Tentakil update.

There's a possibility to get them in PotP. They could treat them like Sky Lynx.Skritz wrote:Not for PotP, but I suppose it would not be impossible for them to be released as figures in a later Generations line.

Ok, I'll grant you the hips, the upper legs and the Combiner port, anything else?
Yeah, I read the same thing on TFWiki. Strangely both times they called Blot a heavy retool of Rippersnapper even though they would have been designed at the same time so who can really say which was made first? And that's really all I see, the entire upper legs from the knees to the hips, the combiner peg, and the peg cover. Seems more like a case of parts sharing than anything like retooling.

TF Wiki seems to have very idiosyncratic ideas about retool terminology. Guessing maybe it’s Walky’s preferences manifesting?
For example, there are cases of pretooling or shared tooling but they always treat the first released figure as the “original”. Even if it isn’t the first DISPLAYED figure or is obviously a redeco of a later figure obviously designed first.

The pieces from their crotches to their knees seem all to be the same.

I don't see any retooling of the chest.

I have a recent third party version, but I just received a G1 Tailgate for Christmas, one of the last inexpensive figures from the first three years I was missing. Anyway, I think this is a nice addition to the line and is better than the Combiner Wars version. Just my take.

And you are so right, just paint and stickers. Just goes to show how different Windcharger and Tailgate look on first sight.

I'll repeat myself but it still bugs me that in a line with mandatory headmaster and triple-changers at a Voyager class we never got Horrorcons. Hasbro was smoking some weird **** when they decided to skip these guys.

Remove the tail? So you want a Repugnus without legs in robot mode
