I'm looking forward to what TT are going to do for Bruticus, and hope they do something good for Computron too (may even order the inevitable skylynx + 4 cars) and wont be buying any more CW. UW all the way.
As for the BotCon Ramhorn's drill tank mode... not a fan at all... hollow front of vehicle mode, does it have the right place to reattach for the leg mode (ie knee).
I'd kind of like Nosecone to be a retool of Rook.
That said, Scattershot really needs a much more extensive remold than the current mold has to work, so even with the (IMO) correct limbs it'd still be a Pass for me. And I don't really expect there to be new Technobot limbs either, though I'll be happy to be proven wrong.
The discussion topic to the posting of this news, has posted up from a recent source of toy info leaks (that seems to be proving itself reliable) this list back in October...Quote:

2. Deluxe Afterburner, a recolor/remold from Unite Warriors Deluxe Groove.

4. Deluxe Nosecone, a recolor/remold of Combiner Wars Brawl (yes, with the drill from BotCon Ramhorn).
5. Deluxe Strafe, a recolor/remold of a Combiner Wars Aerialbot limb jet mold. Probably not remolded much from being a conventional Earth jet though.
God damn it!!!!
Just headed to bed... And stopped to look at my CW shelf..... And my eyes fall on brawl (currently supporting grand scourge)
Let me start by saying combines are my fave thing.... Best gimmick ever!!!
But I'm a stickler for who goes where according to the show.... And how they are arranged.... So things like the backwards limbs in CW get me, but more so TF:Prime abominus is totally wrong and can't be swapped to the right way....
So now we have Computron.... I'm fine that Scattorshot is out.... Fine that some are repaints/remoulded...
But Brawl = Nosecone.... The turret doesn't spin.... The Nosecone attaches to the back of, and therefore bottom of the turret.... GAH!!! I need it at the knee pointing down!!
:(:(:(:(
You can't have Computron without Abominus :p
Didn't know about that, cheers boss.:)Quote:

The parts do look very different to the Brawl itself so I'd say either this or it's just some third party thing.Quote:
