Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[Zommael]

I was moving my Generations Decepticons on their shelf the other day, and realised I have nearly the entire crew of the Ark-1 from IDW (AKA the Dead Universe crew), minus Tailpipe and Grindcore.

Then, as I was thinking some more about this phenomenon, I got to thinking about CW Cyclonus/Galvatronus and how we've been wondering if he'll get his own full crew or just be a torso. I've seen suggestions that he needs a crew of sweeps, but then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if instead he was made up of his fellow Dead Universe 'cons? The full list of Ark-1 crewmen (that we know of) is below, along with my ideas for how they could fit into the Combiner:

• Grindcore - redeco of a possible Combaticon Brawl.

• Tailpipe - redeco of Groove. The only problem would be that AFAIK the Silverbolt/Cyclonus mould doesn't have a spot to attach a chest piece. But given that we've not seen the full combined mode of Galvatronus, only illustrations thereof, this might be a problem that's been solved by a timely remould.

• Scourge - remould of one of the Aerialbots.

• Straxus - bit of a question mark, but his existing alt mode is Jeep-like enough that he could be a remould of the Offroad mould. Edit: DeltaPrime points out below that Rook would make a good base body for a new Straxus.

• Jhiaxus - also a remould of an Aerialbot. But a bit unlikely given he had his last release was only last year (not that that's ever been an issue for Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, or Starscream ) (you wait ages for a Jhiax-bus, then two come along at once)

• Cyclonus - the torso, obviously.

• Galvatron(us) - the combiner itself.

• Nova/Nemesis Prime - could be left out to stand on his own. REALLY needs his own leader class mould, though.

So what do people think? Is this a cool idea, or is it dead in the universe water?
