Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[davieanix]

What's the difference between Optimus Maximus and Ultra Prime character wise? I don't really understand why we need two Optimus Prime voyagers in the Combiner Wars toy line.

apparently the white version's head is supposed to be a Star Convoy

Custom CW Raiden/Trainbots - even uses an existing toy as the sixth member/combined form gun.

Id like to see some ocean going vehicle modes

So G2 Protectobots and G2 Combaticons are pretty much a no-brainer next year right?

With all the repaints and retools already in play (nearly 80 already) could Guard City and Battle Gaia get a run, or any of the four versions of Ruination. It's getting cray-cray

Three of the speculated sets in the first post of this thread are released or will be, and Scattershot's coming and there's plenty of options to make the rest of the Technobots, but there's a noticeable absence with the rest, the beast modes.

I was thinking - and it's pretty sacrilegious but bear with - what if the remaining teams had vehicle modes. Proper new head sculpts for all, their classic colours, but they turned into vehicles instead?

Here's how it could break down, although I did cheat and create two new toys into the mix: a tank voyager body (teamed with the motorbike legend) and a deluxe speedboat (something like CYB Thunderblast's alt mode).

Now that Scattershot has been announced, do you think we will see new moulds for Strafe and Nosecone? And will Strafe even be called 'Strafe' since they nicked that name for the flying Dinobot monster thing in TF4?

[Paulbot]

If Blast Off can be a jet than so can Strafe. That's a trademark they have so they'll keep using it despite AOE having it. I can see them making a Nosecone out of Rook. Hasbro might use TakTom's Groove for Afterburner or maybe the Hasbro Groove.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nosecone was the Rook mould with a drill Arms Micron
