A lot of folks actually do rotate parts of their collections around from one mode to another for variety purposes.

In due time, and we have reason to believe that Computron and Bruticus are in the works. With the Fan-Built Combiner Victorion that makes 3 out of a possible 4 (if all combiners are spread evenly across 2 years) already.

Speculating CW Bruticus and CW Computron are Christmas season September October 2015 release toys.

Guessing 2015 will see HasTak release most of the G1 Beast bots. Abonimus, Predaking, Seacons and Monstructor. With possible autobots and Maximals recolors since all of these are Decepticons combiners.

I think it would be safe to say that Abominus seems likely considering that Computron himself seems to be a sure thing. That would give all the main combiners in the line proper rival teams. Menasor/Superion, Bruticus/Defensor, Computron/Abominus, Victorion/Galvatronus.

Predaking is a possibility as well but that might be pushing it as both Abominus and Predaking would NEED new torso molds on would only share perhaps 1 or 2 molds between them. Anything more than those two would most likely be repaints of existing "non combiner" characters from the Abominus and Predaking molds. (though if we DO get a Predaking then what would be the chances of getting a leader class Skylynx as a rival at some point, I'm drooling just thinking about it)

Piranacon and Monstructor would be REALLY pushing it. Piranacon would require all new molds that don't really have much repaint potential and couldn't be remolded from something else (barring black magic and blood sacrifices) and Monstructor isn't a scramble type combiner. (though neither is Predaking, but hes nearly there so they will probably just make him one anyway if they do.)

Also we all know that hasbro loves to their Autobots, so any more than 2 decepticon teams would be asking for a miracle as so far we have only one real con combiner, Menasor, against Superion, Defensor, and Victorion (and the eventual white Optimus masqurade team) Bruticus is on the way, but so too possibly is Computron.

Ya know I was thinking the same thing since Predaking was the largest of the original combiners. I was also thinking Devastator somehow would be heavily retooled, with black magic, into Raiden since that's the other 6-biner from back in the day (With respect to Monstructor).

No, Predaking would not fit in here. Hasbro and Takara have been very clear about how they are going about these combiners, they are keeping the same amount of members. Devastator was six and thus is not scramble city and doesnt confine to possible mold sharing like Defensor, Superion and Menasor do. So that would also be the case for Predaking, who is also six members. And same for Raiden or Liokaiser although I highly doubt we will be getting those.

some random seibertron member repuposed team members ideas wrote:hey HasTak, we need Predacons/Seacons/Terrorcons! I'll even give the ideas:
Divebomb-Cutthroat, even Seawing if they get creative
Overbite-Rippersnapper, Skalor
Headstrong-Tantrum
Rampage-Ravage?Cheetor should we get Rhinox from Headstrong?
Blot-Tentakill?Skalor?
And this one woulld take MASSIVE retooling, but Razorclaw could become Snaptrap, both are four legged beasts with twin cannons on their backs, and both end up with the animal head as a chest.
Sinnertwin could become a Monsterbot, like many have customized the TFP legion one as, Blot as well.
Also, while Hun-Grr would need a new mould, he could be retooled into RiD Megatron...And bam! A reason for the Hotspot redeco everyone wants!
Nautilator can be a legends gun

Way to set the bar low...

That complaint is made in the context of modern Generations figures, not G1.

It's also a complaint based on pictures and not on in-hand reviews.

And it's not me setting the bar too low, it's bar being set ridiculously high by fans who think they know what it takes to design, manufacture, and market a figure like this.

megatronus wrote:If you're saying all these figures have to do articulation-wise is be better than G1, than yes, you're setting the bar too low.

I generally agree that it's too early to form cohesive opinions on the set barring in-hand evaluations. But you're taking that general sentiment to an extreme. Is it truly not valid to note the lack of arm articulation, which has been clear and apparent in all the pictures and materials distributed thus far? C'mon.
