Of course they could just release Computron and Bruticus as UW 07 & 08, and avoid the others. But the Convoy & Galvatron combiners show they are willing to use Torsos of new characters, even if they aren't original G1.
I like the thought of two new decepticon combiners and I can honestly see everything you mentioned happening, with the exception of grand scourge since he is unite warriors version of combiner wars cyclonus meaning he can use any limbs.

You've been saying that for six months. Time to walk the walk mate.

Shut up and get him already. sheesh. I'll have had mine for a year before you get yours at the rate you're procrastinating.

I doubt Victorion is #7; hasbro hasn't even released her, and there is usually a ~6 month interim between the cw release and uw release

My point was THE OTHER UNITE WARRIORS SETS OTHER THAN DEVASTATOR ARE NOT WORTH IT! (no hard feelings.)

I expect Bruticus more or less June 2016

No way, Takara has Hasbro beaten pretty hard on all the UW releases I have. I have Devastator, which I described in depth above. But if you are curious here is the rundown on why UW Superion is faaaaaaaar superior than Hasbro's in deco (the plastic quality is the same, so the deco and members is the real big difference here).
While the deco is better, (just look at Silverbolt's shoulders for instance) the big part of the deco that gets me giddy is the superion chest. Let me explain.
The character model has Silverbolt's chest transform into Superion's chest and they are very different color wise. Silverbolt's chest in the G1 cartoon is red but seperated by white while Superion is red all across (except for a small patch).
Due to the engineering of back then, the G1 toy could not do that so the chest was a full red for both Superion and Silverbolt since it didnt really transform.
However, the new updated Combiner Wars toys have the engineering so that whatever chest Silverbolt has, Superion doesnt necessarily have to share it. And indeed, the transformation into a torso is quite involved and the same chest peices are not reused. And yet, Hasbro's lazy paint job doesnt showcase that at all since you still end up with a full red chest for both Silverbolt and Superion.
However, Takara does make the most of this great tnrasformation by showcasing how the torso has morphed and is far from just being Silverbolt's chest. And for once, the color change on the chest is very visible. This may look small, but it is a big deal for me since it highlights the evolution in engineering of these wonderful toys.

Yeah I think it will be one and done. Wouldnt be the first time. Rook, Alpha Bravo, Off Road and possibly jet slingshot will never be released there either.
I am pretty sure they will use some of those new Victorion heads for their individual members too (probably for some of Liokaiser's components) though I dont think they will outright release victorion.
