Looks like we're getting a CW Demolisher?

    Well, keep in mind that this is just an Onslaught test with the alternate head, as opposed to a Demolishor test, per se. There may be another tooling that wasn't used here that contains alternate parts, the same way Scattorshot has new wings, nosecone, and tailfin.



    First time I've handled this mold, since I'm waiting on Unite Warriors Defensor for myself, so I had to look at where things seemed to lock in properly. He can do that setup, but the Botcon sample that was on display showed them as I have them.

    You can see the edges of the barrel behind his head, just peeking out.

    I'd still like a new Armada Prime, this time with proper articulation, and a trailer that isn't hindered by automorph shenanigans or electronics. A fully articulated Super Pants Prime would rock.

    Maybe his combiner torso head could have been Energon Demolishor's head

    I'm thinking it'll be like that BW Megatron too.

    He looks really neat. Though i'm surprised he has the Bruticus head.

    But i'm not surprised he didn't get a new head for the torso they didn't even make a new one for Computron.

    It'd be kind of funny if, if Demolisher does get a new Combiner head, it's modeled after Blackout (his Minicon, not the movie guy).

    Well, again, this isn't a Demolishor test shot, per se. It's just an Onslaught with a Demolishor head, since that head is on the same sprue as the Onslaught one and part of the same tool. There's no telling what may be on a sprue on another tool, or gated off, that wasn't run since they were doing Onslaught test shots.

    I'm a teeny bit bummed that there was no further mention of Demolisher as a toy at NYCC. Would have been cool to see if it was happening like this or was a head for another planned toy or something.

    I really hope this becomes a reality. He has a place in my collection for sure.

    The focus of the panel was IDW and Titans Return, so that could explain the de-emphasis on CW figures for now. We'll probably hear more about Demolishor once Waves 5 and 6 get closer. Sky Lynx still needs a case mate.

    I'm more curious about why a Demolishor head for the mold exists. Though at the same time it seems pretty easy to guess the intention originally was to have another Armada character to accompany Armada Megatron in this line, but who knows.

    I'm hopeful this disgusting abomination will never see the light of day.

    I was assuming they'd just toss him in with an already-released crew, like they did when Motormaster reissues came with BC Optimus.
