    Item number is 367596 if anyone wants to verify. I found this listing yesterday while checking if there were any updates on G2 Menasor and Superion. Was told in the Combiner Wars Appreciation thread that I should post a photo of the computer screen here. Didn't get a chance to do that until today. Sorry that the photo isn't very good quality, my phone's camera just isn't very good.

    When I checked the number in a different application that gives more info on the item it lists it with a sale date of May 1, 2016. Although I wouldn't necessarily take that as exactly when it will be released given that he G2 box sets are actually listed with a sale date of January 1, 2016.

    $99.99 RRP? It's probably some garish G2 repaint of Betatron...

    A boxset makes perfect sense. It also explains why we haven't heard news of it yet. As I expected they are most likely savin the reveal for NYTF.
    I'd expect a better Scattorshot would be packaged wih this this.
    also, TransMissions was right yet again.

    I was actually wondering if this is going to end up being a G2 inspired redeco, considering the other box sets except for Victorion, obviously, are G2 decos.

    Naturally because I caved and bought Scattershot already. :lol 

    Seriously, though, happy news. Computron was one of only two complete combiner teams I had as a kid so I'm all in. I just hope we get a decent amount of remolding on most of the figures.

    I was planning on getting the single voyager scattershot. Seeing this I'm going to wait.

    Nope, I hear they're gonna repaint the Fireflight mould orange and call it Afterburner, like they did with Blast Off. Strafe will be a Powerglide repaint and become the weapon, so a new character, Charlie Delta (a purple repaint of the helicopter mould) will be the new left arm.

    Maybe this Scattershot will turn into a real Computron not Betatron then?

    BTW - This was among the rumors/leaks from the Transmissions podcast, as listed here:

    I bet it'll be the G1 molds. "They want Computron to go with their Combiner Wars teams? Fine. Here's Computron."

    Huh. Had no interest in the Scattershot we were getting, but if this set does come to pass I may have to consider it.

    Ah, very good news. I was really hoping they would surprise us with the limbs in a few months, but this is better.

    That sound you just heard is hundreds of Scattershots hitting the garbage can simultaneously.
