It seems we may be getting Computron after all, Seibertron is reporting that someone's found a listing for it in the US Toys'R'Us inventory system for US$99, same price as the Victorion's and G2 Superion/Menasor box sets.
Who's buying this if it's true?
Well if it's true then yes I will buy computron. But then I would want a 3rd decepticon combiner (excluding devastator)
Depends if the limbs are actually real Technobots and not just fill ins. If legit, definately :)
I think we have all the molds we need? Kinda? I'm guessing Strafe will be a Skyfire/Air Raid redeco/partial remold? I would've like it to be a remold of whatever Blast-Off in Unite Warriors was going to be (prob a heavy remold of Alpha Bravo). Just need a new combiner head for Scattershot.Quote:

Brawl into Nosecone
We can only hope :D
Unless they retool scattershots combiner head to look like computron I feel it will be all for nothing. If they do I'll be very excited:)
I will leave this to Takara for a proper version :rolleyes:
My thoughts exactly!Quote:

Cautiously optimistic about this. Very cautiously.

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:

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:

New pics up at pretty much every TF site out there. Link to Seibertron.com.
Good news!Quote:

Looks like you can put the drill at the front of the tank turret, and then just push the turret forwards so the drill sits flush with the front of the tank.
Not feeling it for the Technobots. Kinda over all the retools and repaints. Like, I understand why they do it an all, but... meh. They started off nice and strong and now it's feels like the same old same.
I hear you. I put my trust in Takara to salvage this mess. Computron commands respect.Quote:

If they were to make a CW animal group, the first one would likely be Abominus IMO. At which point Sinnertwin would be probably be replaced by a new character because 'omg, the fans certainly won't TWO dragons in one group, man they'd bitch! especially when both are two headed!'. Or at the very least, one of the two dragons will be made with a single head instead of two. And now that I think of that, it'll be probably be Hun-Grrr so they can just remold Silverbolt again. Cutthroat will be awesome.
Then after that, we'll have to wait forever for Takara to fix it. Then after that, we'll get the Pretender Monsters, sans the pretender shells. Wildfly will be a Cutthroat repaint and the rest will be remolds or repaints of the Terrorcons.
Then we'll get a Dinoking repaint.
Then we'll get the Seacons. Overbite and Skalor will both be Rippersnapper repaints. The rest could very likely be new molds perhaps, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm sure Sky Lynx could be retooled into SnapTrap somehow. Nautilus will probably not get made at all until Takara does it, and even then that's sketchy given he was skipped on for God Neptune.
Then we'll get a God Neptune repaint.
Not holding my breath for a new Predaking, but if they did, Divebomb would be a Cutthroat repaint.
Then they'll do a fan poll again, everyone will vote in a heap of Cutthroats.
Sorry. I'm feeling extra cynical tonight. I'm just joking around.
I know you were just kidding, but just to belay any concerns that anyone else might have, remember that both Hun-Grrr and Sinnertwin (Twinstrike) were included in TFPBH Abominus. I think that Hasbro are well are that Twinstrike is an orthus, not a dragon. :D It'd be neat to have Generations versions of Monstructor, Dinoking, Piranacon, Predaking etc. :)

It doesn't look like they've retooled the head much...
Looks like the right colours though, so that's a thing.
And if you thought ZMultiplier couldn't top his cropped and crotch shot leaks, we now have...

A full shot of Computron!
In full and glorious 99x77!
DaimChoc's tried to do a blowup:

But given how craptacular the source material is, you still don't get to see much!
From the same source, who seems to have posted up a larger sized version of the Computron artwork... suggesting that the sixth member Legends toy could be the yellow thing attached to the left shoulder of Computron like a shield.
Suggestion is it's a yellow repaint of Cosmos (as Scrounge from the Marvel Comics) that was previously rumoured to be coming.Quote:

New hands and feet, but looks like not a full prototype as the legs and body look reused from released bots.
I hope the head changes, otherwise he'll look too similar to Superion.
From the big cropped pic, it looks like it's the same as Superion's:

Well Computron and Superion did have similar heads - main differences were colours and the Computron had a full faceQuote:

Interesting new hands and feet. I guess that makes the Pe set redundant. Wonder why they invested in making new hands and feet now.
I like how the PE sets turn into weapons, plus the articulated fingers are good for flipping off...Quote:
