    Let's just hope that Hasbro Trademark of Combiners is not refering to New type of PCC,if not i will faint.

    Pretty cool, hopefully a potential line can come out next year at the earliest.

    If I recall correctly, there was a TM of airachnid awhile back. (Which took a long time to devlop into an actual toy)

    Can't say I'm super excited for this. It just means bigger PCC combiners. We have already seen what this type of engineering looks like with WFC Bruticus and while good I've been spoiled by 3rd party combiners and thats really what I think I'll stick with. Who knows, maybe they will surprise me.

    Okay I'm thinking this is a pcc type toy line where you can "make your own combiners" except this time with actual robot limbs made up of classic characters.

    As I said before I already like PCCs unlike lots of people, so if they upgrade the concept to this it would be beyond awesome. The idea (customize your own combiners) was always solid; heck some PCC drone-body combinations look really, really cool. Now if they make transformable limbs and commander torsos, (with HANDS and FEET this time please), they have a line I'll purchase again.

    Why would they make that? It makes no sense.

    If they look anything like FoC Bruticus, I will have zero interest in this line.

    They may do that,which is similar to FOC Bruticus,we never know but still am hoping something which is similar to the vintage G1 combiner but they modified them to be more articulated.

    maybe we can get a omega supreme out of this I know technically he isnt a combiner but he is a parts former and this may be the perfect way for us to get him

    Omega Supreme is not a combiner right? We may see other combiner in the making.

    Agreed he is not a combiner in the sense we are used to. But the pcc format on a larger scale would have been perfect for a omega supreme . Or even city bots if hasbro would have explored the concept further

    Well, it looks like this is what the "Combiners" trademark is for:
