I'm a huge fan of the Combiner Wars toys. It has been my favorite Transformers sub-line since G1. Although it seems that the end of Combiner Wars is drawing near, with the onset of Titan Wars, I hope Hasbro releases some additional toys that haven't been announced. One cleverly designed deluxe-class four-legged beast could be retooled into Dinobots Slag, Sludge and Snarl, Predacons Tantrum, Rampage and Headstrong, and Terrorcons Sinnertwin and perhaps also Rippersnapper and Blot. One cleverly designed deluxe-class bird could be retooled into Dinobot Swoop, Predacon Divebomb and Terrorcon Cutthroat. One cleverly designed voyager-class four-legged beast could be retooled into Predacon Razorclaw, Terrorcon Hun-Grr and perhaps Dinobot Grimlock. With just three new basic designs, we'd have Predaking, Abominus and a Dinobot combiner. The Japan-exclusive Groove could be retooled into Technobot Afterburner, almost any of the cars could be retooled into Technobot Lightspeed, almost any Aerialbot could be retooled into Technobot Strafe, and Rook or Brawl could be retooled into Technobot Nosecone. Since we're already getting Scattershot, some additional retools would give us a Computron -- er, Betatron. I also hope that the Aerialbot molds will be repurposed as seekers of sorts. I know some people are growing weary of the various retools, but I like them all, even though I don't (yet?) own them all. The toys are a lot of fun, and I hope Hasbro thinks there's still life in the concept, even if the Combiner Wars line in name might not be around for much longer. "CHUG" spanned several sub-lines. Hopefully CW will as well.
Thanks to Takara, we now have a Starscream head for Combiner Wars. So I'm expecting one day they will do actual Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints. And while I'd have loved a new Predaking, Abominus and Piranacon in Combiner Wars, its just not going to happen unfortunately. And I wouldn't want to cheapen them by repainting them from Stunticons and Aerialbots.
I'm going to be shocked if we don't see a Platinum Edition set of CW Seekers in 2017. Maybe two sets. Plenty of options for fourth members in each. I'm still in the camp that thinks we'll see CW-compatible beast combiners in Prime Wars III - Hasbro seemed to be very clear that these were the last combiners in CW, not the last combiners forever
Right now, my most wanted CW figures would be Decepticon car-limbs for Grand Scourge, preferably in darker colours, and a set of jet-limbs for CW Galvatronus. I'd even be happy with a single purple coloured Decepticon jet I could buy four times. I wonder how CW Strafe would look recoloured like CW Cyclonus? As for Beast Combiners, I'd want updates of the three Decepticon G1 originals and two Dinobot combiners (I still want non-combining versions of the original five, though).
I would like to see toys of the original beast Combiners. There are some I'm not fully interested in, but I'm sure that I will be interested when I see them realized. A Dinobot Combiner would be cool, at least as a remold of some beasts without being the definitive CHUG Dinobots. I really want to see Seekers and Coneheads in the CW style. Starscream doesn't need to be a ghost, just able to combine with his comrades (and probably be part of Galvatronus.) I want to see a Voyager Shockwave, for some reason. Probably because Shockwave wielding his Legends in gun mode would be a fun reference.
I wanted Combiner Wars Versions of the Turbomasters and Predators as well as CW redecos/remolds of the second stringers from TLSOTW. All those Euro characters are getting even less love than the Japanese ones.
Combiners I wish: Landcross (very easy with the current molds, although should contain 6 members) Grimlock (voyager) + Sludge (deluxe) + Swoop (deluxe) + Snarl (deluxe) + Slag (deluxe) Optimus Primal (voyager) + Rhinox (deluxe) + Cheetor (deluxe) + Rattrap (deluxe) + Dinobot (deluxe)
New molds Har har har. But really, I got Sky Lynx from TJ Maxx and now I want space-related limbs. All these cars and jets just don't fit thematically (and no, 4 of Takara's Blast Offs won't work either). Heck, make a rocket mold with a peg so it can plug into Sky Lynx's side in shuttle mode a la the Solid Rocket Boosters; I wouldn't mind getting a repaint for that.
Beast combiners please. I'm getting sick of the combiner wars toys due to the re use of a lot of the molds. Making beasts like abominus or the seacons would be nice.
Here we go again Baldigus UW Leokaiser ultimate boxset including deluxe Leozack, Jallguar, Deathcobra and Lyzack + Breastmasters for all. UW BC Prime with Sideswipe, Red Alert and two or all of the following: Hoist, Tracks, Jazz. A RID Autobot combiner: OP, the Autobot Bros and Skid-Z and/or Towline. A seeker sixpack. A Turbomaster and a Predator combiner including Rotostorm from UW Vortex and Stalker based on Rook.
I want the next Hasbro six-pack to be Power Core Huffer (with Menasor's head) Huffer (from Motormaster with new head) Jazz (from Dead End with new head) Sideswipe (from Breakdown with new head) Gears (from Offroad with new head) Brawn (from First Aid with new head) Bumblebee (from either Blackjack or Rodimus) FunPublications has already given us Ratchet and Bluestreak.
I wouldn't mind seeing some Combiner Wars styled Dinobots...but...I'd want Grimlock not to be apart of the group...instead give him a similar aesthetic & design...so as far as the line-up I go with... Voyager (Torso) Sludge Voyager Slag/Slug Voyager Snarl (pre-tool of Slag/Slug) Voyager Swoop Voyager Skar Voyager Paddles (re-tool/second use of Sludge mold) Although I could see the limbs possibly being pre-toolings or re-toolings of potential CW Predacons...if they changed Skar to a Smilodon...
Slog/Kakuryu are chestplates for Monstructor/Dinoking Sparkstalker and Flamefeather become handguns for Abominus Nautilator/Bob are bladed hand weapons for Piranacon/Monsterbot combiner Snarler is a handheld drill weapon for Predaking. Lioconvoy is there to be every line's obligatory Prime. though he could be the starting point for a Maximal combiner. The Monsterbots are joined by the cancelled Halloween Horrocon Leatherhide and Torca. (because Torca is fucking terrifying) the combined form shall be known as Megiddon Goradora, God Neptune, and Dinoking are intended as Boxset releases. Abominus, Piranacon, Predaking, and Megiddon are intended as retail releases.
To me... Well i got a few ideas. New Molds. Voyager: -Upscaled/Altered Versions of PCC molds with CW Deluxe compatible ports replacing the pcc pegs. *Smolder *Searchlight (With Obsidian Redeco Pre-tool Head) *Mudslinger (With Greasepit redeco and Pre-tooled head) *Undertow (Cuz' there wasn't any BOAT combiners in the line. Rescue bots High Tide (Regular) Pretooling included.) -G2 Dreadwing (Based on a combination of his G2 toy and IDW Designs. Alternatively, The mold uses PCC Skyburst as it's base for engineering with a bulkier alt mode base on his G2 Altmode. "Comic Galvatronus head included".) -Backguild (Essentially Energon Barricade. Upscaled to Voyager As an Autobot.) -R.I.D Tow-line (Based on PCC Huffer,Includes tooling for a G1 huffer retool) Redecos/Tools -"Cybertron" Longrack from Hot-Spot (New Heads, Regular and "Gamma Supreme" head.) -"Cybertron" Demolishor from Onslaught (Demolishor head pretool and a new "General Demolishor" head. -Vector Prime from the Silverbolt/Cyclonus/Scattorshot mold. (Very Extensive retool, Includes his sword and Omega Lock.) Deluxe: New molds ~Spychangers -Ironhide (Based on the R.I.D Ironhide toy.) -R.E.V (New body, engineering based on a improved version the original Sideswipe toy, W.A.R.S,Crosswise and G1 Sideswipe Parts included.) Redecos- -Sky-Blast (Redeco of "UW" Blast-off with new head, Homage to Armada Skyblast.) -Daytonus (Redeco of CW Wheeljack with new Head and UW Lightspeed's Guns.) - Overcharge (Taxi-themed redeco of CW Prowl) - Kuboshi (Purple redeco of CW Swindle with new head) - "Cybertron" Overhaul (Straight up Redeco of First Aid with Offroad's head.)
could work, though i'd rather stick with bw2 cast on account of using Lioconvoy. so maybe...... Ikard from Tentakil Apache from Blot Bighorn from Tantrum Skywarp from Divebomb or maybe Liojunior from Rampage. and guest starring Snarler as Randy! (yes i know he's from neo and not 2nd sue me)
I'd like to see the Ghost Starscream and Armada Thrust heads used on different, slightly retooled bodies that look more like the Classics Seekers jets than the current CW/UW molds. Two sets of four Seekers: Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Sunstorm Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, Acid Storm (turn him into a new wing configuration conehead). A brand new torso mold that opens up further remold/retool options. Can be made specifically for the two sets of limbs above. New, unique hand/foot sets for each specific combiner similar to Victorion and Computron.
