I suppose in that they share unique alt-mode shapes with combiner limbs we have yet to get - it would certainly go some way in explaining the rather random inclusion of Twinferno in the line.
Given how the current team at Hasbro has noted that they're thinking ahead as they design figures, it is conceivable that this is the case.
And when I look at the Titans Return beast figures, I can see where chest pieces could be replaced with combiner ports without too much hassle.
And more food for thought - it's preferred to get a few remolds/repaints out of a figure to get their money's worth, while Weirdwolf and Doublecross have not been remolded (yet).
Meant to come in and clear this up but WeatherManNX01 pretty much nailed it, so thanks for the assist!
In a little more detail, we can look at Weirdwolf:
Does it need remolding? Yes, but if you look carefully, the parts that make the Headmaster attach are a separate piece. Take that out, do some minor rework for the port, add a new head, add Doublecross' arms, do some other minor retooling, then tweak the colors just slightly = oh look, Sinnertwin. Doublecross' body style is very Rippersnapper-like in stature, so again just some arm piece swapping and retooling for the Terrorist Shark head. Need a weird shrimpy body for Blot? Hello, Mindwipe, who also has some stuff one could use on a Cutthroat. The only missing piece is the torso, and boy howdy does Godbomber have a big blocky chestplate like Abominus. Not sure how you'd get a Hun-Grr out of the rest but he is parts-formery, so there's that.

There aren't really pack-in comics for Unite Warriors, just a single image for each set drawn in the same style as the back page of the instructions. That said, it's still Sakamoto doing it and he's tried to make it all work together. An example from the galleries:
Also this latest Legends comic has me wishing I'd picked up the CM Corp Nightbeat version of Minerva back when it was dirt cheap. Just did the regular Minerva and Ginrai releases.
:looks at ebay:
Scratch that regret, bought this:
