    Interesting. If I was going on wild speculation, based on the rumoured figures @TyrantGalvatron noted, maybe the other two boxsets would have looked like the below?

    Onslaught on Caminus (Firepower)
    Leader: Blood (Skyshadow repaint)
    Voyager: Flywheels (Blitzwing repaint)
    Deluxe: Grotusque
    Legion: Wingspan
    Titan Master: Scorponok

    Mindgames on Eukaris (Intelligence) -
    Leader: Deathsaurus (Buggered if I know)
    Voyager: Carnivac (Alpha Trion repaint)
    Deluxe: Arcee
    Legion: Cloudraker
    Titan Master: Ultra Magnus

    That leaves Snapdragon as the odd man out.

    Wow. A pleasant surprise. I just bought it at HTS and used a coupon to boot. It looks very much like the original G1 Grotusque without having to re-mold all that much. I bet Hasbro had this planned from the get go.

    ...shit, I need this in my life, but I probably have better things to buy. :cry 

    Well, at least he's got an Autobot symbol on him. Sucks about the card though, I actually like those.

    What an awesome surprise! Got my order in, Grotusque was one of my faves as a kid. I'm a little annoyed Repugnus is just relegated to being a head though :/

    Grotusque is an Autobot....and this new toy has Autobot insignias...so........?

    EDIT: Ah, the card has a Decepticon insignia. I don't look wtice at them since I couldn't care less about cards that's why I missed it. So my bad.

    At first I was upset when I saw Scorponok ... cause I want a Voyager Fort Max and Scorponok to happen.. But still not ruling it out. The diecast still keeps this one special and different. Come on Scorpy!!!! plus I'd want it to just be the face and have a helmet go over it. I know none of this is likely with the Titan size figures.

    I like your thinking but, I think Blood and Carnivac would almost certainly be repaints of Mindwipe and Weirdwolf respectively.

    We've never seen mainline repaints or retools of those two molds yet which would be another strong indicator.

    Meh. Don't really care about Monsterbots or the entire TR line as a whole.

    Now if they took this and repainted and remolded it a little as Tigerhawk, then you'd have something I'd be interested in.

    The bigger question is, what convention will this be an exclusive to?

    I think they'll probably go the same route as Arcee eventually.

    Hopefully Grotesque is a retool of Fangry....

    I'd take a Scorponok titan master, but I'm not buying this...

    I would allow for the possibility that Deathsaurus through Dinobot all label combiners (Liokaiser or future retool of Grimlock, King Starscream?, Abominus and Volcanicus), thus denoting the limbs as well. Flywheels is also a possible Overlord repaint/re-head (we've seen that his canopy can fit on his chest to mimic Flywheels' robot mode) - he's my dark horse candidate for the second box set leader. Much like Carnivac, Blood might also have been a possible TR repaint (Mindwipe) - maybe Hasbro dumped Pretender homages at deluxe in favor of PrimeMasters?
