    This Universe has no mass shifting. Ergo, for a gestalt to even be feasible, each Transformer would themselves have to be of incredible size (for comparison, The Constructicon are no bigger than say a Seeker. And A Seeker isn't even as high as Omega Supreme's toe [see when he kicked Ramjet]).

    In this scenario, even a single limb of this Gestalt would be more than enough to utterly annihilate the Autobots without having Omega Supreme backup. What possible altmode could the team members have? The team of small bulidngs?

    Even IF Hasbro decided to make a Combaticon or Stunticon gestalt team, they would still be sorely outclassed.

    I still say best bets would be Trypticon or Scorponok.

    Something else I'd really like to see are other Decepticon warlords of Megatron's stature - his rivals, of sorts. Animated Thunderwing, Colossus, Scorponok or Overlord would be awesome.

    Oh yeah another thing that I still want is a robot with this alt mode, tuxedo-ish design and british accent.

    Hell the jet's tail could even be the "suit"'s tail!

    Oddly enough Jetfire and Jetstorm are said to have a similarly shaped alt-mode to that. Basically a jet in the shape of a V. Not so sure about the tuxedo-ish design or British accent, lol.

    I hadn't even thought of the 'cons making Scorponok, that would actually be pretty cool.


    But as to there being no mass shifting... you've gotta be kidding me, right? If there's no mass shifting, why is Prowl taller than Bumblebee and why is Megatron's head (back when it was in Sumdac's lab) as big as Starscream's body, yet when it's ON Megatron, it's the same size as Screamer's head?

    Well, as long as Jetfire/Jetstorm look extremely awesome, I'll be happy then.

    btw Pete, that's not mass shifting, just size chart errors;

    The transformations, due to the general aesthetics, also require a lot of 'mass shifting', most characters' car parts do not look like they could actually transform.

    That's still nowhere as bad as three vehicles on top of each other being as big as Omega Supreme like people want.

    The max it could get to would be his crotch, and that wouldn't enough to be a fair battle.

    Yeah, I think I'm forgetting how big Omega is. Then again, I really only expect Omega to be in scale with legends or perhaps activators size toys. And then Scorponok would be pretty good, introduced at the tail end of season 3 or perhaps even season 4.

    A sting in the tail, so to speak. And please, PLEASE as a powerful warlord, not as a mindless drone as in the Bay movie or a foot soldier as in Beast Wars.

    Omega Supreme. If not then the whole line is massive fail in my eyes.

    How about an elite guard team that matches the Earth team.

    Rodimus = Optimus
    Kup = Ratchet
    Arcee = Prowl
    Springer = Bulkhead (Kinda, not really)
    Wheelie = Bumblebee

    They could be like strange reflections of each showing off to the Earth team mostly their respective character flaws, or pros, etc. That and we'd finally get an autobot Triple-changer.

    well a little bird told me the predacons are coming so.. animal sized predacons that combine into a leader class PREDAKING?!

    If this is released they need to make a SKY LYNX!!! YEAH! hows that for a british transformer. That transforms into a tuxedo wearing chicken

    Maybe if they released deluxe constructicons, we could build a giant devastator - old skool

    and is it just me or are bulkhead and bb alot like rhinox and rattrap?

    Amen, brother! And while I'd really like to see a Supreme-sized Omega, I'd still be happy to at least get a Leader or even Voyager-size figure. Give us something at least.

    or smart enough. Or awesome enough.

    The only way in which Bulkhead and BB are even remotely similar to Rhinox and Rattrap is that one is big (and green) and the other is little.

    Autobot triple changer? Strange reflections? How about and Elite Guard team that is like Bizarro-Decepticons? Scattershot as the Anti-Megatron (huge war machine), Springer as the Anti-Blitzwing (triple changer), Airazor as the Anti-Blackarachnia (female beastformer), Slingshot as the Anti-Starscream (self aggrandizing jet, and I'm at a loss for the Anti-Lugnut right now, will edit if I think of someone

    I am hoping they will make the Starscream clones and maybe Wasp.

    There has been rumblings that a prototype Supreme Omega Supreme has been out for a while now so I think we will see something soon.
    If that Predaking deal is true then that has to mean that we will have to get our beloved Constructicons as Devastator.
