I guess they want to avoid looking like Botcon 2012 boxset - which looks like FunPub just got a good deal on navy plastic

I know there will always be some fans who say things like "what, was white plastic cheap that week or something" when they see a uniform colour scheme, but I prefer it, especially for combiners. To me it makes it look like from many to one than a random jumble of different parts. Victorion's colour scheme might be garish but the uniformity, to me anyway, is appealing.

On a completely unrelated note, it's just occurred to me that with one exception, the primary colours for the wave 4 characters actually do match the drones of Energon Optimus:

Copter-2 (white) - Prowl (white)
Digger-3 (yellow) - Sunstreaker (yellow)
Submarine-4 (blue) - Mirage (blue)

The one exception is Ironhide, who is red, against Fire-1's orange. But Fire-1 arguably should have been red in the first place, and is red in the Platinum Edition release of the toy (though none of the other colours match).

I can't help but think that, given the chest sculpt for Optimus Maximus/Ultra Prime, this must have been intentional.

I know exactly what you mean. When I was small I always played with Fireflight less because he didn't have the same uniformity that the other limbs had. Though I never had the Technobots, I always thought they were super cool in their strange designs and colour scheme.

Hard to dismiss when they've already brought out Armada Megatron/Starscream.

What's the names of the new teams? Prime's team?, Skylynx's team?, etc.

Prime's team is named 'Optimus Maximus' after the Gestalt they combine into.

Dunno Skylynx's teams name.

Sky Reign is the name of the combiner.

I haven't heard of any team names yet for 2015 Wave 4 or Sky Lynx's team... only the combiner names so far.

[prjkt]

they might not have team names... at least in the fiction the W4 bots + Prime were kind of just thrown together...
