    Actually I don't mind if Bruticus is done as one of the last ones. He seems to have gotten the most representation of any combiner since Car Robots used the original molds. Not that I'm complaining about getting the Combaticons in Urban Camo, but let some of the more neglected combiner teams get a chance to shine.

    Hot Spot is a new mold.

    This is for the comics, not the toys.

    ^ THIS! ^

    Hot spot being his own mold makes way more sense than retooling CW Optimus/Motomaster. I dont see how you can turn that mold into a fire truck. Given Hot Spot's and Onslaught's same transformations in G1 I would think the retooling would be between Hot Spot to Onslaught. Since Blades will be a repaint of Alpha Bravo and Off Road likely being retooled into First Aid I would really like to see new molds for the other two Protectobots (Streetwise & Rook).

    Yes but the Combiner Wars comics are the guidelines for the toys. Which is why Blades in Windblade's series is a repaint of Alpha Bravo.

    my gut tells me the protobot limbs will all be repaint/retools. I hope Hotspot isn't one.

    In April IDW is gonna deliver the goods.

    I love that Tailgate cover.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the art style here, it just look so blah and too gritty. It makes for a really unexciting read.

    What? The entire 2015 Generations line is tied into this.

    The Titan Devastator is not Prowlstator.

    Common sense?

    These are IDW solicits... in IDW, Prowlestator exists, and Prowl is a central character, so they are going to include him.

    It doesn't mean that the Titan Generations toy is going to be based off of it.

    But they're following IDW pretty closely so more than enough to make Prowl not easy to dismiss yet.
