    I want to say it's these figures, and would match with the legends sized Groove, but it's weird that each figure is listed separately.

    But at the same time I can't imagine them doing 2 versions of the Protectobots. If we DID get actual new Protectobots, no one would buy those repaints.

    Nice.

    Protectobot Rook? I was actually kinda hoping for a modern figure of G2 Rook. Still interesting.

    WARPATH!
    I take it Sea Spray is very likely down the road now.


    I foresee a lot of people buying just First Aid, for their MtMtE shelves.

    So that's Menasaur,
    Superion, and Defensor
    ON TOP OF another mystery
    Combiner?
    I only have so much money, Hasbro.
    EDIT: Wait, so if DPT Viper is a black
    repaint of Powerglide, wouldn't that
    make him Stormcloud?

    Legends Groove? This could be the mixed line Protectobot set. Hopefully it is the proper treatment.

    Legends Groover would make sense on a combiner, too, given the relative scale of motorbikes/cars would fit better.

    And Rook could then be a repaint of one of the Stunticons. Seems plausible.

    Interesting to see what Hasbro comes up with, but to be honest at this point i've been really spoiled by the 3rd parties.

    Exactly. Hasbro seems to be trying to keep scale as much as is practical with these Combiner teams, which I appreciae. Assuming the rumored 6 Voyager class Devastator set comes to fruition, then voyager-scale construction equipment, voyager-sized truck cabs, deluxe cars, and legends motorbikes all scale together really well. The only set left out in the cold is the Aerialbots, but even they (mostly) scale within the team.

    sweet. I have been on the fence about getting the deluxe warpath but he is too big to fit in with the rest of my minibot crew. this just made that decision for me. time to wait and see what the near future holds.

    Powerglide repaint/remold, in Cobra inspired colors.

    The new member of the Protectobots, like Alpha Bravo, and Offroad from the Stunticons.

    Why would they? These new members only exist to maximize repaint options, which is obviously not in line with how they're doing Devastator.
