    Another Predaking would be awesome... I really hope it is. It'd make things really interesting around here...

    awesome! bring on the pink, teal and black!

    second to Predaking, the Seacons had one of my favorite color schemes. the way the figures made "girly colors" look sinister always appealed to me and had a hand in changing the way i thought about color. i only had skalor as a kid, so i might start there. snaptrap was always a coveted grail of mine as a kid.

    i really want this guy, but i dont think i can afford another combiner until next year!

    I have to go with Computron. He's already been rumored as their next project. The bot on the left (as we look at it) looks like strafe, the bot on the right looks like nosecone and the bot in the back looks like Scattershot. I'm not sure what the Bestiality reference is about, but I'm going with this as my final answer.

    Agreed I love the seacons as well. Combiners that are not too well known seacons,liokaiser are just plain awsome.

    scattershots face is a blue visor for eyes (1 piece) that guy has 2 seperate red eyes(not a visor)
    My guess is still predaking.

    I don't think it's piranacon. The sillohette's don't really match up. Nor does it seem like Dinobots.. perhaps a new combiner?

    It'll be funny if it's Predaking as this would probably be the worst of the 3 and the most expensive to boot. Do it, TFC! :crazy:

    It is hard to tell; but the red visor does suggest Decepticons - Ares being the God of War suggests war-like vehicles; which implies Combaticons. There might be a bit of Brawl & Vortex in the smaller two silhouettes, but very little Onslaught in the bigger one. Still, given TFC's sometime-propensity for fudging G1 asthetics - it still feels like it should be Bruticus. It would balance their combiner line [Devastator/Decepticon, Superion/Autobot, Bruticus (?)/Decepticon (?)] as well.

    Either way, time will ultimately tell.

    It could be the terrorcons. The line they wrote sounds more "Abominus" than anything else.

    Assuming it's the Seacons, my vote for the bot on the right (our right, not his) is Skalor based on the guns---he's the only one who has twin guns with tips anything like that.

    (I still think he biggest clue for these being the Seacons, are the incredibly Seawing-like guns/wings on the left bot----those are quite distinctive and can't think of anyone else with two mirrored winged guns like that)

    Also--being Skalor and Seawing for the first two, would be the "traditional" 3P format of "an arm and a leg" to start things off. Skalor was my first Seacon when I was a child, and so is dear to me.

    However---if that's not Seawing, then I'd say it's Strafe.

    If this really is the seacons, you'd think they'd name him Poseidon or Neptune. A name like Aries makes me think terrorcons, based off the name and thous concept sketches we got a while back. Either one is good in my book though, I love herc and Uranos, and freaking love abominus and piranacon, so either of them would be welcome additions to the TFC combiner design aesthetic in my book.

    I'm going to laugh hard if it's another predaking.

    No matter what it is I'm most likely passing on this. TFC combiners are too big and too expensive.

    Pretty much how I feel. Regardless of who it is I'm excited to see more TFC toys. To be honest I'm really hoping its a unique creation because TFC is excellent at making toys of their own designs (Iron Army, Phantom Ray).

    I'm a bit stumped really. I don't know as much about some of the less notary combiners as I should.

    Ares clearly should be the Combaticons, but the Beast part doesn't make sense unless it's a translation issue. Plus it's 3 bots instead of 5 (or possibly 2 bots and their combined form)

    If it is the Combaticons, then I'd say it's safe to say we're looking at the silhouettes for Onslaught (back), Swindle (left...it has wheels on the arms and legs), and Brawl (right, guns on the back), with Vortex and Blastoff maybe left off because they aren't done.

    That's about all I've got really though.

    Tell me about it, I love the crap out of the iron army dudes, and can't wait to see pics of the half track they're doing to go with them.

    But think about this: if this is terrorcons, that means we'd be getting THREE new toys for blot in one year. WHAT IS HAPPENING

    Pretty darn close

    Well when tfc herc was released thier was like 5 companies in total releasing devastator related products.
    Why do people not use logic and take time to read -_- other comments and the hint tfc gave"beastiality" what does that have to do with bruticus closest combiners fitting of that is abominus and predaking because "5 in 1 is used" so it can't be seacons. Also that is not a visor it is two seperate eye slits that are red. onslaught has a visor eye piece.

    Very true, but Hercules wasn't a god, and certainly not of crafting/building. If anything, TFC's first combiner should have been called Hephaestus. (god of making stuff out of metal, which the Constructicons basically had entire episodes devoted to)

    I don't think TFC is going purely for as direct/logical/correct name as possible. (and I'm thinking their Greek/English to Chinese translations may not be faultless, either) I wouldn't be surprised if they called Abominus etc "Venus" or something.

    Hmmn, there's an idea. Make an all-female combiner team and call it Xena. :)
