OK folks, take this with a huge bottle of salt, but I saw this posted on TFW and wanted to share. The final wave of Combiner Wars will either be or include Predaking. The make up will be one voyager and 4 deluxes. Due to that set up it'll probably be a gift set. Now I know what we've been told by Hasbro and I know Sarberblades' lists have been dead on but these next two parts is what makes the rumor believable to me:

1)This guys source was dead on about certain details of Devastator.

2)The source said it would be revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, the same place we got our first look at Devastator.

Apparently due to the Blaster leak Hasbro decided to reveal Titan's Return first since people were interested.

Someone on here said that predaking would be released next year - his friend works at hasbro. But he said it would be titan class, so whatever - at the very least, it seems like predaking is coming out next year

But I can't imagine that hasbro would bother making a bunch of molds that they cant re-use - they could do a lio-convoy combiner with it though - at the very end of the line, unless they really wanted to end cw on a good note.

My thinking is they know the fans are tired of the same 8 or so molds being used over and over and wanna give us a combiner, that can be sold at a premium price, to keep us happy. I mean Titan Wars is going to be even MORE repaints I think.

I wouldn't be surprised, but soundwave and astrotrain seem cooler already than most of the cw repaints were.

Coolness aside if it's going to be a line with only 4 original molds, quite a few people are going to be unhappy.

BW megatron and o/p from skullcruncher and mindwipe, and either wolfang or cybertron snarl from weirdwolf (I mean they aren't out yet, but were one goes, the others usually follow)

Plus we know all of the cassettes are gonna be repainted to cybertron and back...

Sorry to burst the beast wars bubble but I highly doubt they would go that route. Out of the cassettes all I see is 1 rewind repaint and 1 remold with a repaint, lazerbeak from Buzzsaw and ravage from stripes.

[Sabrblade]

In an interview in the latest TCC magazine, John Warden was asked which combiner that did not make it into the Combiner Wars line at all would he have liked to have made it in. Predaking was his answer.

[King Kuuga]

Rule 1: Hasbro lies. They release information on their schedule, and if they aren't allowed to reveal something by corporate, they will deny it to the moon and back.

That said I would really like to avoid getting my hopes up about an imminent CW Predaking. <_<

[Shockwave7]

Is there any place that's selling Alpha Bravo or Firefly at regular retail price? All the online distributors have them at like $30 or so. BBTS and HTS are all cleaned out. Are we to assume from this that the Wave1 Arialbots are out of production?

[Ironhidensh]

At this point I don't really trust Hasbro to make a decent Prediking.

[Hellscream9999]

I would only get them if they were were usable with the scramble ports - they don't have to scramble, just be able to be equipped to a voyager and look proportionate.

[fenrir72]

From Transfan2

The very "colorful" Eye gouging "catching"G2 themed Menasor

[Hellscream9999]

Awesome

A couple on Ebay...

[RAR]

I wonder if Transfan2 would take donations to send them to Photography school & buy a white box their pictures with cluttered backgrounds are giving me an undeniable urge to 'tidy'.

So for those of you who listen to the transmissions podcasts you'll know that they have a segment every now and again that's dedicated to rumors about upcoming figures. While most rumors are just that I think it's safe to put more stock in these ones since basically everything that they discussed on their shows had been eventually revealed at nycc. The reason I bring this up is because their last show had a few rumors that I don't think we've heard before.

1. There will be an astrotrain repaint of sentinel prime and a lazerbeak out of buzzsaw. This isn't coming as a shock to anyone but it was mentioned, so why leave it out?

2. We will be getting a Computron in combiner wars. Now I know that people hold true to the thinking of "what's been revealed is all we're getting", but according to their source Computron was supposed to be revealed at nycc but the mistake at botcon kinda screwed that up and they didn't want to keep everyone waiting on titans return.

3. The molds used for Computron will be a repaint/remold of a stunticon, aerialbot, brawl and the deluxe groove mold. I thought that was the most interesting one and that also points to Takara possibly doing a new mold for strafe since that seems to be the theme of this line.

So what do you guys think? I know they're rumors but like I mentioned previously this source has quite a bit of credibility from all the titans return leaks. Also over the next few weeks the transmissions crew will be putting out more rumors dropped on them by this source and I will post them here if there's any interest.

HA! Called it! I knew from the very beginning that hasbro wasn't just gonna let bigroove and blast-off sit around collecting dust. I still say that we will get both individually next year, but I figured they would tap into the groove mold, perhaps it was already in the works, and TT added the premium front end in lieu of the technobot version.

As for astrotrain, I called that too, the moment that I saw sentinel was based on stormbringer astrotrain;

Well, if the rumors be true, cw will end with quite a bang, if both the predaking and computron rumors come to fruition. Still jaded that we won't be getting any spare limbs

I honestly think that extra con limbs are unfortunately a long shot. I would love some but I'm fine with Computron and Predaking. The only thing that could make this better would be an Abominus, but I HIGHLY doubt that will happen. But like I said I'll keep everyone updated about the rumors as I hear them.

Yeah, I would've really taken anything, but I think the 4 'storm' seekers would've been cool: Acid Storm, Sun Storm, Sand Storm, Ion Storm... I've always liked them, but they've never gotten figures I've been overly interested in.

[Noideaforaname]

I wonder if Transfan2 would take donations to send them to Photography school & buy a white box their pictures with cluttered backgrounds are giving me an undeniable urge to 'tidy'.

Don't want to be rude, but I always wonder how he manages to get his hands on all these rare protos and unreleased figures yet never seems to take a clear photo. Like, I dunno, must be too busy earning money for this stuff instead of a proper photo shoot or something...

[RAR]

Nosecone should work well out of Brawl, in fact It's got me wondering if the screw parts on the Botcon Tridpredicus member are actually parts made for Nosecone specifically and the only new bit Funpub is making is the head.

I won't be to disappointed if they keep the gun turret.

If they change all of the wings and all of the nose area then there is some possibility of getting an OK Strafe out of an Aerialbot.

Wheeljack is pretty close to looking like Lightspeed already so I hope they pick him as a base rather than Dead End or Breakdown again.

A modification to Groove inspired by the one given to Generations Chromia would make a pretty decent Afterburner too.

I suppose Wreck Gar can function as the weapon or accessory unless they want to repaint Shokcwave into something or maybe make a tiny Grimlock toy.
