    Well, I could use a UW Raiden thank you. :) 

    And we could possibly get Sixliner, Sixtrain & JRX from him. :drunk

    Well, Deathcobra (he never had a official toy, so this is a perfect opportunity), Lyzack, Thunder Arrow (yes, this version is a transformer) and Tarn (ok, he isn't from Victory, but could be a very good easter egg to the IDW comics) are my chosen for this combiner

    Even they can do two new molds (a lion and a eagle) for the limbs

    So I know EE and TRU are pretty close and all... But to clarify, the ONLY way to get this set is through EE's website? Or will TRU carry it as well?

    TT's Victorian is simply a repaint. Liokaiser, for all intents and purposes, would have to be new molds to meet the demands of purists.

    And while I don't consider myself a purist, a six man combiner of Liokaiser with two torso bots and one that wasn't a SkyLynx would do me just fine.

    Lynxmaster and Megatronia basically being repaints of existing CW figures (Ratchet is a new head, that's it) would be a smart way for Takara to save budget if they wanted to do the work of a dual torso-bot.

    Looking at Longhaul and Hook, the engineering to make that not only look good but remain stable would be interesting in a pair of deluxe figures.

    Technically ratchet is still a repaint since botcon used that head first

    The point is the Ratchet mold was billed as "a never before seen head" (which at the time was true because we only assumed there was a Ratchet version out there based on prototype pics.

    ----

    Also, is the EE street date a pre-order or an In Stock date? Because I hate that we're only giving Takara 20 some odd days between now and release to at least hint at what their Liokaiser might look like.

    EE said it'll be a no pre-order situation -They'll announce beforehand when the in-stock date is, I believe, and then just start selling them. And I think they were suggesting Nov 1 or thereabouts would be the street date, so Takara has some more time before hinting/announcing their Liokaiser

    It's pretty possible that Takara may just release what we're getting with the Platinum Edition Liokaiser set and make the torso be in Deathsaurus's colors and call it Deathkaiser and make some over the top story of Deathkaiser coming back from the dead in a new body and brings back four of the Liokaiser team and forms their new torso mode.

    Sure Takara proved that it can go extra miles to make their gestalts more show accurate like with Computron but what I've mentioned above is also possible.

    I hope they remold Silverbolt into Leozack. Perhaps also Jarugar remolded from Hound - even though you can't have all six members combined at the same time.

    Worse case, we get the same Dezarynx retool as the Hasbro set. But I'm prepared for that outcome at least :ev:

    Just retool the flip out wing extensions and give him some T-Rex arms :lol

    I'm hoping we see Takara's first teaser (at least!!) by the time they release Lynxmaster. It seems like a good time to toss out whatever they've managed to work out (Deathsaurus vs Leozack from Silverbolt vs double torso)
