I would like a mutant soundwave homage, but I don't think this is that either. That toy was largely gold, not what seems to be an implied green. The screaming mouth on the nightbeat head might be a good match though, sans some monster teeth.
I have no guesses!

Because it is. e-HOBBY's order page (on just the mobile version, for some reason) points out that the Megalligator head is meant to use Legends Skullcruncher as its body.Seibertron wrote:I'm very excited about Convobat, but Megalligator still looks like Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

I realize that, just saying that's not what I want and that I still want a proper Megalligator with correct colors with attention to detail and not a Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

IT'S SENTINEL PRIMAL

I figured the colors were something like that, I only called him green because the wing colors were the clearest color in the comic.
I can't be the only one that sees this, particularly the four sets of pink eyes and the silver on his abs.
Nothing else really matches and where better to find him than a lab? Plus who doesn't like Megatron paired with an obedient Soundwave?

The head is definitely Nightbeat's, and the second pair of glowing "eyes" indicates a helmeted character with a bat motif...
O dear Primus, we may have a match:

For just a moment I thought my post magically ended up under someone else's name.
Though to my credit I did call him Mutant Soundwave in an earlier post, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it.

And him being a clone of the original Soundwave would be icing on the cake. Wouldn't be the first time a Soundwave clone would have a mouth:

I'd really like this new Soundwave to have a mouth anywho to differentiate him from Soundwave more.

Besides, the shades of the original toys aren't too too far off (either that or my inability to recognise different shades is worsening):

Though it's more probably a Mutant Soundwave homage, that monobrow (which I know is probably meant to homage Soundwave's teeth) coupled with the brown is making me think of Dinobot (who wouldn't make sense as a bat, but the colors and the leanness of the mold are reminding me of him).Nik Hero wrote:Here it is with boosted saturation.

Here's a digibash (not mine) of the Nightbeat head in Mutant Soundwave colors for those who want to do full body digibashes.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Ok, just humor me for a second: somebody digibash a Skullcruncher and a Mindwipe, both with the Nightbeat head, in both the prototype colors of Mutant Soundwave, and final ones.
Though, the blue-tinted face makes me think of Dinobot even more.

Still working on Skullcruncher though.

I can see Maximal Rainmaker's point. I personally like the bot mode, and the transformation is clever. But that alt mode has some real problems, in my opinion. I might not call the whole mold horrible, but I can understand someone having that opinion...

I think it has its merits but of all the deluxes in the first 2 waves, it is easily the one I like least. I really dislike that headsculplt too.

I just got Mindwipe yesterday is there any issues I should be aware of or is it just that the mold is not fantastic?
Only problems with Titans return I have had is Skullsmasher's loose legs, tail and his stupid hatch as well as Scourge's loose head (Fix please?)

For me, it's that the bat head is not articulated at all. Plus the "tail" is just awkward. I keep Mindwipe in bot mode all the time now.
And really, that is how I want to display Convobat, so I'm still getting him.
On Scourge, a thin piece of plastic or some card stock in the TM head socket seems to help a lot.
