    I don't see it and I don't think anyone else does either.

    Hey roguesaint,seriously are you saying the comic sketch of Bruticus looks the same as CW Defensor,cause I just don't see it,for one the wheel as you point out right near Bruticus's head is totally in the wrong place compared to where it is on Defensor which is on his lower chest.So in my opinion I think either Onslaught is a new mold or a major major remold of Hotspot cause the aesthetics seem totally different,but I could be wrong tho,we will have to wait and see tomorrow morning or so.

    Hasbro isn't gonna make a new mold for a guy who already shares a lot of similarities with a previous guy especially when that version already has accommodated it's vehicle mode to look closer to Onslaughts vehicle mode.

    Rodimus Mike - all I am saying is that in my completely uninformed and speculative opinion (which mind you, counts for exactly nothing), is that there the photo's only fuel the hotspot retool theory...and I'd be happy to be completely wrong. I love new fresh molds. I just know that often hasbro like to recycle and get as much use out of a mold as possible.

    Hey roguesaint,after inspecting both the pics of Bruticus and Defensor you put up I do see the similarities,but what was throwing me off is the way Defensor is turned backwards in combine mode,if it was turned the way it is in the instructions then it would be spot-on with a few tweaks like the following.

    Doing away with those open crossbeams near the combiner head.
    The two cannons should be on the back of Bruticus.
    Onslaughts arms should be rotated up at the shoulders 90 degrees.
    The airplane drone is visible somewhat but I don't know how they would incorporate that into Onslaughts combiner mode,but maybe they will somehow.
    And from the pic of Bruticus it doesn't look like he has those neck flaps like Defensor has.

    I will be waiting for CW and TW news for in the morning. We'll definantly see the Masquerade set, and a RID Megatronus, Thunderhoof, Fracture, and Quilfire (All of these!!! Please!!!).
    I don't see how people think that Metroplex and Fortress Maximus are the same, because they're not.

    I'm 100% positive that Onslaught is a new mold.

    Hopefully we'll see pictures to confirm. I'm learning towards a heavy retool of Hotspot for Bruticus until proven wrong.

    Also with the new line for 2016 is called "Titan Wars" I can assume combiners will take a light break. Hopefully we'll get a new wave of Combiners in 2017, maybe with Predaking and other beast type combiners.

    What will probably happen with 2016 figures is a combiner to start off the year, then normal size Titan Wars figures throughout the spring and summer and then another combiner in the fall and then a Titan class figure (hopefully Fort Max) during holiday, maybe November.

    Is that Playdough?
