I know nothing about Liokaiser but I think it looks good (correct me if I'm wrong but he is supposed to have six components (like Devastator) isn't he?)
I definitely want this but I'm holding out for the Takara version (if made). Has anyone heard of any rumors of this becoming a UW???
Yes. As I said before, Leozack and Jallguar, the two original torso robots, have been amalgamated into a single entity known as Deathsaurus for Combiner Wars.Quote:

Below is a quick visual comparison of G1 gestalts with accessories removed.

As you can see, Liokaiser holds out the best because almost all of this gestalt parts are self-contained. Feet, hands, thighs etc. are all built into the individual robots. The only part of Liokaiser's body which is a detachable accessory is the head. This was a revolutionary concept back in 1989! It also paved the way for many post-G1/G2 gestalts which refined the concept, such as...
* Beast Wars' Magnaboss and Tripredacus (1997) were the first to perfect this with all of their gestalt components being self contained.
* Car Robot/RiD's JRX and Build King (2000) did the same thing, although Build King had the additional concept of reconfigurable limbs.
* RotF Legends Class Devastator (2009); all self-contained gestalt parts. No detachable accessories.
* Fall of Cybertron's Bruticus (2012) carried on the same thing, all self-contained parts, and added in the ability of interchangeable limbs.
* Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Abominus (2013); another Legends Class gestalt with all self-contained gestalt parts.
...etc
Combiner Wars gestalts really have as few detachable parts as possible. Just look at how much of CW Devastator's gestalt parts are self-contained in the Constructicons. :) And anything that's detachable is capable of serving as an additional accessory, e.g. becoming weapons etc. This is all part of G1 Liokaiser's legacy. :cool:
The reaction to Liokaiser surprised me to be honest, didn't think he'd be so desired.
Box art has appeared
