Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[Paulbot]

are there any more vehicle combiners from G1 & G2 left to do?

They've got all the right vehicles to do (five member?) versions of Sixwing and Sixturbo. And Sixbuilder too I guess but that might be a little harder to sell. A bit of reworking of existing toys could possibly produce a Landcross too. (A Blast Off space shuttle would come in handy for Sixwing and Landcross).

Guard City and Battle Gaia gives us two more repaint box sets.

And we still don't have a Jazz, Sideswipe and Windcharger who can combine with Prime and Mirage for Masquerade Menasor.

I wanna see a train combiner, because then they can redeco and retool it to all the other train combiner out there!

Raiden and Sixtrain and Sixliner for starters. I'd be all for a new version of the Trainbots.

The CW Swindle/Hound mould works pretty well as an armoured dune buggy, I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up getting used as Beachcomber somewhere down the line.

G2 Devastator is almost a given, probably more the yellow variant than the orange due to it being the "real" colour used by such vehicles out in the world, though due to the size I'm not going to say it's a guarantee...

Beachcomber from that mould would be awesome and is say we would probably see a g2 Devastator way down the line considering we just got 3 different variants already maybe after all the other Titans (fort max, trypticon, omega supreme and scorponok) are eventually released.

Repaint of Lio Kaiser as the Rescue Force please! Throw them another jet member and (finally 24 years later!) canon English names and bios.

I would still like to see "Rescue Force" + their original numbers tampographed on the toys are homage to their ridiculous G1 names. And yeah, maybe have "B.R.F." somewhere on the gestalt robot's form.

I really reeeeeeeeally wanted an Abominus. Especially knowing they are doing a Computron

Could be a sign of another wave of extra limbs (Groove and Blast Off)

I'm in two minds about this sentiment...

Part of me wants to tell you to be patient, as the original Abominus and Computron didn't come out until G1 was in its fourth year, and we're just in the second year of Combiner Wars. Even if we consider 1985 as the first year of G1 gestalts (where all we had was Devastator), by Year 2 (1986) we had Superion, Defensor, Menasor, Bruticus and Predaking. So out of the first two years worth of G1 gestalts, Combiner Wars has given us all of them except Predaking.

But another part of me totally agrees with you, because I see Combiner Wars/Titan Returns as just the next installment of Classicsverse, which of course started in 2006. So we're in our tenth year of Classicsverse. I'm still spewin' that it took HasTak 5 freakin' years to release all of the Decepticon Jets as mass retail figures.

Yep... nothing like having a nerd debate inside your own head.

Not wanting to deflate the excitement of a Deluxe Groove by Hasbro (which I would bet money on it happening eventually... probably as a pair with JP Blast Off, like they did with the first two), but there is a story behind that Seibertron news story, and even TFW front paged it as news as well.

The Hasbro page was first noted by a TFW/Allspark member, who was pointing out how half-assed Hasbro had done the Combiner Wars pages, with image and info errors for almost all of the characters (not just the Protectobots). Unfortunately, some fans on both fansites (TFW & Seibertron) assumed that the Groove image/info errors were actually Hasbro announcing the Deluxe Groove toy coming soon, and the News staff on both sites then front-paged it.

Be great if they did a wave consisting of Quick slinger, Break-neck, Blast off and Groove considering the rarity of the former pair and how that would be a complete wave then
