There's been nothing to substantiate that he's coming out, he's never even been rumored, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high
Well, nertz. Star Saber's a perfect candidate for the Evolution gimmick, and it's not like they'd have to make him a psycho like in IDW.
I hope we'll be getting some more combining Legends guys, though, because I'm super stoked for Battletrap. Come on, Flywheels/Slamdance/Beastbox/someone else!

I would have loved a star saber in this evolution gimmick but alas it was not meant to be apparently. Though I'm curious is primal getting put out on his own or is one of the other leaders being re-released alongside him.
Also I share yourhope for the other duocon and I think it would be neat if you could mix and match with them...wouldn't be that hard to pull off right?
Ok, so Star Sabre does work well with the gimmick and thats probably why he was part of that contest for the next prime. But since he wasnt picked by the fan community, we wont get him in this line.
And Primal will be shipping with Wave 1 Rodimus Prime.

The only negative IMO is the fact that he is a modern toy, which means hollow parts that will look very cheap next to the original toy (specifically the inner thighs, Hasbro's favorite place to hollow out a Transformer).
My main negative is that they dont change anything about his forearms between modes. The gorilla mode and Robot mode already share everything in the lower body so I would hope for at least some kind of change in the arms, like the original toy has. but no. So basically, just the chest and head change between two modes.

All the stuff shown is pretty much a guaranteed purchase for me, but I will say that I'm kinda disappointed we didn't get any info about stuff that wasn't already rumored. I would have liked to know who the last pieces of Elita InfinONEte and the Screamer combiner are gonna be.
While not confirmed, I am pretty certain Screamer will just be a lone torso, like Cyclonus was in Combiner Wars for Hasbro.

Going to be a tight squeeze. Wasn't it announced that 2018 would be the final year for PotP?
Nope, was never said. And while the fact that they already announced the next trilogy usually means that the end for the current line is near, we are stil missing several prime masters to get all 12, so there should be an extra wave coming at least to finish those off.

Bludgeon is all new and so is Octopunch surprisingly enough. Both are styled after the G1 Pretenders's inner robots, nice
The rest looks pretty decent, but what is up with Divebomb?
Yeah, thought the same way. I actually only like Rampage out of all their alt modes. I sold my KO feral Rex to make space for this guy and while the combined mode looks more stable and easier to pose, those alt modes are not better. Not at all. G1 still has better alt modes than any other Predaking since, official or not.
