What else can they DO?

A takara version of Liokaiser?

This has long been speculated, the only problem is Hasbro's is so far off, and with TT's strictness for animation accuracy (which I appreciate), I doubt this will happen

I'm a firm believer that Liokaiser will happen, however these silhouettes are most likely Ruination. You can see the vortex, brawl, rook/swindle and onslaught molds. If that's not ruination then I have no idea what else it could be. I do think though that if these are just straight repaints (with new guns?) that it might be a way for them to fund something else, possibly Liokaiser. Or maybe not, only time will tell.

Speaking about new releases, what about the animal combiners? HasTak has totally skipped those.

We've talked about this quite a bit in the titans return thread, Predaking and Abominus are rumored to be coming next year. Most likely as box sets.

It's not so much 'skipped' as 'don't have the molds to do'.

I see nothing stopping TT from releasing the liokaiser set. They've released all the other 'unique' head sculpt figures - even ratchet. The question though now becomes: will they paint it like Liokaiser? They have a running fiction that could certainly legitimize it. And if they don't which characters could pull off the new headsculpts? They seem oddly specific...

So Megaempress is a female supremacist who wants women to be in charge of everything (excluding Autobot women because they're the "wrong sort of woman")? Sweet baby Primus, it's Anita Sarkeesian in robot form! Quick, get Computron- everybody knows radfems' greatest weakness is logic!

You sure about that?

And Takara has already given us a ton of headsculpts Hasbro never has, so I dont see why both companies cant have their own unique headsculpts.

Battle Core Prime, CW Strafe and the Liokaiser components are the only unique toolings Takara hasn't used yet aside from Botcon/TFCC, to my knowledge. So that gives them a fun little assortment to play with.

So are we just gonna glaze over the fact that Moonheart uses her charms to get the Autobot Combiner team "excited" and then CUTS OFF THEIR "PEGS" AND LICKS THEM AFTER!?

WTF JAPAN.

If it was Liokaiser, shouldn't one of the silhouettes look like Sky Lynx. They all look humanoid (though I guess that's a matter of interpretation)?

Thats why we know its not Liokaiser. Plus, since when does Liokaiser have ties with Unicron?

Since they justified it in the comic, wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen in the series

No need for snark, you know what I mean - and the time delay between the hasbro release and any eventual tt release would still allow for tt to use that mold

They went to the trouble to use rook, offroad, hound, and cylconus and every other new head sculpt (even 3 we didn't get at retail - seeker, conehead, ratchet), why wouldn't they use the liokaiser molds? And they can still release the cw strafe with another combiner, it's not impossible

Who's to say this new combiner doesn't use Strafe?
In any case, it's not Liokaiser. Unless they're going completely bizarre by turning Rook into a truck and making Deathcobra.
... actually, I'd like the new combiner to have Deathcobra. That way when they get around to Liokaiser, we can have a Deathcobra without any trouble. I think it'd be a cool way to get around the issue and also a cool idea to use the misellaneous combiner limbs.

Also yeah, essentially anyone can be connected to Unicron. Just destroy a random alternate universe no-one ever heard of before and pick literally any character from the entire Transformers mythos to be a herald. That's why I think it's pretty obvious this combiner will be made up of G1 Vroom, TFP Kup, Energon Slugslinger, Rescue Bots Blurr and IDW Springarm.

Sorry for the snark. I just dont find any of this evidence pointing in one way or another.

Man, Micheal Bay's turning Winston Churchill's house into Nazi HQ and Hayato Sakamoto is doing... this. I think I need a break from Transformers for a little while...

It's cool, it is a discussion board

But really, it took them almost a year I think to release offroad, and they even released the seeker/coneheads and ratchet, I'd say they'll try to use as many new heads/molds as possible, maybe it'll be demolisher, and the liokaiser gang

eh, the figures seem great, but the show is decidedly middling in my opinion, but not without some glorious moments/episodes

Based Sakamoto cares not for your suffering.

I hate to admit it, but I actually want her more than Victorion. Megatronia is just bugpoop insane!

Wasn't it that Moonheart was the one with power over ice, and Megaempress was the one with seduction? I think someone got a bit mixed up.

That's what it said in the original bios released... I think a few weeks ago? Yet in this comic, Moonheart's shown using seduction on the Lynxmaster components.

because Moonheart is the seductress here

Not quite. Moonheart used to be a medic, and the wiki summary says she used some sort of 'healing pheromone'...
...in other words, she drugged them.

I'm really hoping for a UW Liokaiser that uses the Scattorshot mold for the torso instead of Skylynx, so we can get his proper robot and jet modes. In fact, might just make a digibash of that...

Yes but one of combined mode.

Why Scattershot specifically? Wasn't Leozack a normal earth jet?

Kurona wrote:Why Scattershot specifically? Wasn't Leozack a normal earth jet?

Was easier to find good pictured of Scattorshot to digibash.

Looks like based Sakamoto-sama's work is having the desired effect.

I'm so going to hell for this...

(spoilered for the innocent-minded)

You wanna not go nuts?

1) Don't think about where those pegs have been
2) Don't think about the Woman Destron. EVER.

Anyway, are we sure it's Rook in one of the silhouettes? Could be his mold-mate Swindle/Hound too. Then again, Rook hasn't shown his alternate head yet, nor has Brawl. Also, there are at least two more heads that TakaraTomy could potentially use since they're built in:

- Counterpunch out of Wheeljack
- Demolishor out of Onslaught

YES! YES!

The only changes I would suggest is to give Drillhorn a Zamu repaint as his partner and Hellbat a Hades redeco as his partner.

One of the molds in that final panel is the Breakdown mold.

The cut off one at the top?

There's always the possibility it's some new guys again. I'm not sure if they'd pull that again (not sure how viable more than one completely new set of characters is), but Megatronia did surprise all of us. Almost seems like yesterday we were all thinking Esmeral.

The bottom-right one. It has the Breakdown mold's sword-gun weapon.

There's no stock on the silhouette though. It looks similar but I don't think it's the same weapon. Plus the bot holding it doesn't look anything like the breakdown mold.

Um, yeah... that was over the top. Plus them sticking their butts in the face of the reader is a bit too far also. Are parents in Japan expected to get these for their children? I mean, this is Japan's version of Combiner Wars after-all...

...I do love the art style and curves though.

Come on! Are ya all offended by this? Is this another case of being too PC? This item is a TakaraTomyMall exclusive. It's a limited pricey item which no self respecting parent would buy for an under teen kid.

And for the sake of argument that some "kids" get their grubby hands on one, the JP view on what is "naughty" is waaaaaaaaaaay different from Western views.

And it's for the Japanese market.
This mentality reminds me of an incident were a purely for JP product got sold in Amazon International that caused the SJW so hyped up that the product got banned (and got the UN involved)

"Gaijins" participation optional.

It was the ports thing that was weird. The only other thing I don't get is why Luna-Club has her legs splayed out while she's flying upside down and she's covering her t##t section up strangely with her sword in panel one of page two. That doesn't make a lick of sense #1, and #2 that is a sexual pose and not a fighting pose.

I can dig some curvy femme though. I am not PC.

Not PC?

in the bold.Fighting pose? It's like a short 5 page comic. You fit the images as the medium allows. As for the cutting off the parts, ever think how despite their kawaii appearance, the Woman Destrons are just as deadly or much much worst?

I know this is a venue for free flowing ideas but how I'd wish we could argue about how dark is Unicron's blue in the HB over the Takara or how Sabrblade is always correct and never makes mistakes on his conclusions or how like a broken record RatedX is on how Hb/Takara is scamming us.....all fair game.

But when it comes to, Arcee being made too kawaii or how the opposite gender is labeled...everyone gets offended. This is TF and like please keep the real world scrap ( i.e. PC, SJW, liberal line of thinking (the in thing/hip for now) politics out?

If they retool him( Silverbolt/Scattershot mold) into a swing wing B1-B type for Leozack.

You're the one that brought up PC in the first place. If you want to keep it out, don't mention it. It's really quite that simple.

What is the matter with you? I was not getting offended. Why are people getting offended at me getting offended when I'm not offended? Maybe I SHOULD be offended!

I was wondering why Luna Club is in this weird pose:



Come on. That's not fighting. She's pressing the handle of her sword onto her crotch. She even has her legs splayed out. Nothing about this looks non-suggestive. Even for a Japanese person this should look suggestive at the least, and sexual at the most. That's not even a natural pose for combat. It's her flying through the air and covering her t**t.

Also, if you think I'm being PC, why can't we all just do that in public then, hm? Let's just all be nudists or something while we're at it.

You can call a spade a spade, but generally if you want to keep said spade out of the conversation, you ignore the spade rather than drag it out by calling it a spade.
