Combiner Wars Toyline: Rumors, Speculation, Ideas etc

[Trent]

You are just saying that because you know I nominated you for Ozformer of the year this time round (and how in the name of all that's sordid did you know that anyway?!? )

I was just hoping they had had a pic of the year - reckon I might have won it with my 'Grimlock in Horsefloat' photo

Paulbot can be bought. Cheap.

I know that Slingshot and Wildrider are getting released as part of the Tak/Tom Superion/Menasor gift sets but anyone know if they are going to get individual releases by Takara and/or Hasbro?

I believe Wildrider and Slingshot were also found in an American Toys R Us database so it's possible they'll get exclusive single releases outside of Japan

I bought a cw powerglide figure, the figure is great but the thigh pieces were all scuffed up when I took him out of the pack.

Can one get a replacement set of thighs ?

I don't think the Predacons / Predaking will happen. It's already been stated / promoted that Devastator is the largest combiner, it wouldn't make any sense if they released something a few months later that was bigger still, unless of course Predaking was smaller but that would just be silly.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I wonder if we'll get a CW Scourge/Sweeps to go with Cyclonus?

Upsetting the fans who'll say "no Predaking must be bigger, Hasbro sucks and third party rules" is not a reason that would stop Hasbro releasing a Predaking that was smaller than Titan Devastator.

[BigTransformerTrev]

I think it is highly likely we will see the Combaticons next, given they can retool the following:

Hot Spot - Onslaught
Blades - Vortex
Rook - Brawl
Offroad - Swindle
Firefly - Blast Off
