    The Transformers app has been updated on iOS to version 5. It's now changed its aesthetics from the movie themed app to a Generations themed one, and includes new missions, info on Generations AND Robots in Disguise toys, and of course, the new Fan Built Combiner poll.

    In the poll, we have what looks like our first glimpse at Hot Spot and Groove's alt modes, and possible confirmation that Groove will be a targetmaster-esque (or some kind of other additional part) legends figure for Defensor.

    Screencaps are here: TF App - Imgur

    The choices seem to just be for retools. Jet and helicopter is grouped together for limbs. Went Decepticon on faction. Hot Spot/Groove on torso/weapon, and mostly cars as limbs with one plane/helicopter. I have contributed to an abomination and nothing more. Really boring that we can't go for more out there choices to build a combiner that feels more "new".

    It could be worse.

    There could have been options for a dinobot combiner.

    But yes, it looks like the fan built combiner is just getting the community to choose which existing molds to redeco. Regardless of what options you choose, the choice for each limb is either Generic Aerialbot, Generic Stunticon, or Offroad.

    Oh bother, repaints. Of trucks and planes. Of molds we'll have undoubtedly have seen 2-3 times when this fan-built combiner comes out...

    What tells me people are just going to try to make Slingshot and/or Wildrider (despite other news/rumors), defeating the whole damn point.


    That would've been AWESOME!

    Repaint Wars? Redeco Wars?

    By the looks of things, I'm guessing First Aid is going to be the only deluxe with a new mold for the protectobots.

    If the Combaticons get done again, it could wind up with Swindle using Offroad's mold, and Alpha Bravo being retooled for both Vortex AND Blastoff.

    Just repaints, great.

    I wish they would have let us at least choose the gender.

    Really some lackluster options :/

    I'm really hoping they're just using those toys as placeholders and the actual combiner will use a different style of plane/truck mode.

    Keep in mind that we'll definitely be seeing further stages of this poll, just like the Fan-Built Bot. The first stage determines mold choices and faction, and I'm sure the next ones will determine stuff like names, genders, personalities, maybe even weapons or colors.

    It is kind of a bummer that it's all redecoes, though. I guess it makes a bit more sense, as I never really expected Hasbro to be able to make five new molds just for this poll, especially if they've got a timeframe for this.

    Is there any way to vote from a computer? It seems kind of silly to not have that option.

    I downloaded it, and then ran around as Bumblebee shooting stuff. They never once asked me to vote for anything...
