    I didn't understand what Prowl had to do with the Constructicons, but now I do.

    I thought Scrapper was the right leg, not the head.

    Scrapper is -- er, was -- a leg. When Prowl became the head, Hook was moved to leg duty.

    The legends combiners were said to be optional. I don't know how they can pull off without the Prowl head, unless they do use Scrapper somehow.

    Defensor shall be interesting. I'm kind of curious to see what the result will be.

    I think if they do a devastator they will rejig the team in the comics first. I expect prowl will get kicked out, scoop will become the new scrapper allowing hook to resume his original role as the upper torso block.
    No idea how the Protectobots will be rolled into this though, I hope Roberts won't have to shove something in to explain their sudden absence.

    Magnus is a small guy inside a suit of armor, and Star Saber is a religious zealot.

    Holy shit.

    It's so obvious now.

    That's why Scoop is randomly with the Decepticons in RID.

    And the Constructicons would be exactly the kind of guys to just call Scoop "Scrapper" just for the hell of it, further justifying a new Scrapper toy.

    I can live with that for Ultra Magnus, that's a homage to his toys if anything. Not familiar with Star Saber apart from the sword, so again doesn't bother me xD

    If however u were to tell me that that the Minibots started a renegade faction, or that Bumblebee was a triple changer, or that Starscream killed Megatron and became leader of the Cons, then we have a problem xD

    I can't remember, I heard somewhere there will be 16 Deluxes, but I can't remember how many voyager are to come of 2015.

    I like how everyone is all, "How are they going to explain the Protectobots leaving the Lost Light? What about First Aid? He's crucial to the Lost Light!"

    Yeah, ask Sling Shot how his inclusion to Combiner Wars worked.

    They say in the comic that he can't be saved from being separated from Superion due to damage and thus he's dead leaving Powerglide and the helicopter guy to be part of Superion.

    Just saying - no requirement that First Aid has to be part of the "new" Protectobots.

    I don't know why it would be the worst thing ever to move First Aid off the Lost Light, anyway.

    Designing a combiner seems like just the right kind of demented move from him at this point. Considering that the only thing that's gotten him out of his guilt-catatonia lately has been inspecting an impossible corpse. He's in a bad place and could use a shake-up.

    As far as the statute of limitations on three-year-old spoilers that are directly relevant to discussion of Combiner Wars....I'm calling it expired. Get on the train, or the Spacebus if you prefer. :D 

    The intertwining of toys and fiction was always a selling point in G1. I'm glad to see it return after a fashion.

    6 voyagers. 3 known for sure so far, Optimus, MotorMaster and Silverbolt. If we get Protectobots and Constructicons, then add 2; Hot Spot and a leader Constructicon. That would be 5/6. So should we get Hot Spot and a voyager Constructicon, there's just 1 more mainline generations voyager figure to ID/account for.

    Has there been any comment on whether Bruticus will be used or not, if there been no word last figure could be Onslaught. If they are doing Defensor it feels right that they should also do Bruticus, then that's all the original combiners done and quite frankly make sense considering Swindle has a little Combiner knowledge in order to configure himself and the rest of the Combaticons.

    not quite so simple on Magnus.
    He's actual a really small dude called Minimus Ambus (human scale-ish) inside a larger armor of himself, which is inside an armor that looks like Ultra Magnus.
