Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

There will be no Abominus Combiner.
No beast combiners in the combiner wars line Hasbro says although they could make them in a few years.

True but it would be unlikely out of all the changes Hasbro/Takara have made with the Combiners none have been as drastic as changing the altmodes completely.
Only way they could do that is if they were them pre Terrorcon.

Everyone's talking about the jet that may or may not be Terrorsaur but what about the other vehicle in the bottom left corner.

There are atandarfs to maintain.

You mean Vehicle modes pulling a Hercules and wearing animal skins over the cars or something like those monster Hot wheel cars?
Or maybe something more subtle and more of a homage?

It's also like the Unite Warriors giftsets, which only have five figures.RiddlerJ wrote:He needs a Legends figure. All the other combiner box sets have 6 figures.

The tail fins are at a 90 degree angle to the wings and other tail fins, which tricked me into thinking Breakaway, but the rest of the back is wrong and I missed it.
However, taking another look, I'm still not convinced it's Air Raid. The wings look more like Skydive's to me. Same basic mold, granted, but with some significant parts differences.

I thought they all had six figures.

It would not have been Breakaway anyways since Funpub is not allowed to use movie molds I think only the Dinobots could be exceptions.

I believe they're allowed to use anyone that's not seen on-screen as long as they're not a licensed vehicle, so the 4 on-screen Dinobots are no go. I think it has something to do with Paramount owning the design for the characters.

Botcon had those G1 colored Dinobots last year.
