Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[BigTransformerTrev]

Well, since it's pretty much a given we will get announced at some point the Combaticons, I think we will see the Technobots too since there a a lot of molds that can be retooled to make them. That will keep the numbers even at three Vehicle gestalts a piece. That leaves the four animal based Decepticon ones.

I don't think we will see any animal ones until they guage how well the current (and hopefully future) vehicle ones sell. But if they sell well and they decide to go ahead, mold sharing will probably play a big part on what they make.

So taking into account the alt-modes of the four animal-based gestalts, I think we could see the following mold sharing with retooling and resizing done as necessary:


Winged Creatures
Divebomb (Predacons)
Cutthroat (Terrorcons)
Wildfly (Monster Pretenders)
Seawing (Seacons)

Feline Quadrupeds
Rampage (Predacons)
Razorclaw (Predacons) Possibly Voyager Sized?

Stocky Quadrupeds
Ramhorn (Predacons)
Headstrong (Predacons)
Birdbrain (Monster Pretenders)
Bristleback (Monster Pretenders)
Snap Trap (Seacons) Voyager Size

2-Headed Dragon Quadrupeds
Sinnertwin (Terrorcons)
Hun-Grrr (Terrorcons) Voyager Size

Aquatic Bipeds
Rippersnapper (Terrorcons)
Overbite (Seacons)
Skalor (Seacons)

Mammalian Bipeds
Blot (Terrorcons)
Icepick (Monster Pretenders)
Scowl (Monster Pretenders)
Slog (Monster Pretenders)

Multi-limbed Sea Creatures
Tentakil (Seacons)
Nautilator (Seacons)




I know a lot of these are a stretch, but considering what a great job they did of turning Jetfire into Thundercracker and Silverbolt into Cyclonus, I reckon they could pull a lot of these mold sharing/retools off
