If I were to hazard a guess, the green construction vehicles could be a Devastator of some sort.

The others could be combiners as well, coz that little white bike looks a helluvalot like Groove...

I just read at TFW that they could be old Takara hardcopy concept prototypes. However they look too new and a little too different even for concepts.

My guess is combiner limb prototypes

Possibly meaning they are doing an updated version of them?
During the design stage could either mean current prototypes or old ones.

I will take this with a grain of salt though.

Im guessing more newer versions prototypes sine its got elbows.... no way was elbows a concept in G1:D era for small TFs.. or for that matter was really limited even for big TFs.

ahh.... love the glass cabinets and display stands....

[daydreaming=bruticus;127305]

I would have guessed that these are NEW prototypes from KO companies or Mass producted custom companies.....

Fingers crossed that the top pic with the grey bike that looks like wreck-gar is the new "collector".... :p

Yeah, they're G1 prototypes. The big truck in front of Bruticus is a mock-up for Onslaught, and I'd assume the other military vehicles with him are early concepts for the other Combaticons. The bikes look like a step-by-step example of how they get from the first idea of a figure to the final product. The two animals look like mock-ups for Catilla and Chainclaw, I'd guess the blue buggy is an early Fizzle and the orange jeep an early Swindle, next to them you've got resin prototypes of Blades, First Aid and Wildrider, and the jets would probably be early Aerialbots. The green vehicles look like those Micromaster combiner concepts seen in the Generations deluxe book.

Most of that's educated guesswork, take it how you will.

Hope, they are the "Aerialbots" and they don't change there altmodes...

as, it so far looks "like" they are (if not based on) a:
- F14 Tomcat "Skydive"??
- F18 Hornet" "Air Raid"??
- E-2 Hawkeye "Slingshot"??
- I think a A-7 Corsair II if not a F-8 Crusader "Fireflight"??
And I would, like to see a F14 as a Aerialbot.:):D

I thought the F14 might have been a Leozack prototype.

I concur - The mold has several design similarities to Leozack

Maybe it is...?
Just couldn't help but wonder, why they all look like combiner limbs "if not G1 Like combiner Limbs".:confused:

And the robot mode next to the F14, looking similar to the "G1 Arm/Leg Aerialbots" in there robot modes, doesn't help.:D;)

So my Apologies, in advance if i am wrong..:o

"Wonders, if that Orange one is/was "Swindle"...?:confused:
And the blue one is for a "Stuntacon" ( which, i can see the "Truck" in front of Bruticus being modified for Motormaster ) unless, it is a Militaristic Dune Buggy?:confused:"

You don't have to aplogize as there is nothing wrong or right in anything that we are saying since its all speculative. :)

They're Scramble City prototypes.

The reason they look 'newer' is that these prototypes would have been experimenting with what they could do at those price points.

Basically -- you'll notice no really new TECHNOLOGY in the prototypes, they're about as detailed and they TF similarly, as Gobots of a similar size. Clearly, as the process of development went on things got much simpler.

--Jhiaxus.
(Let's just get the idea that they're NEW toys thrown in the bin RIGHT NOW shall we?)

(Not sure exactly what the green construction vehicles are prototypes for, though.)

:cool:

I don't think, i should rule out the "possibility" that these could be Repainted/Modified for multiple Combiner/Gestalt Combination's ether. :D:p

This is of course if they are Combiners/Gestalts.:o:D
