    I kind of wonder if Hot Spot and Optimus/Motormaster were deliberately designed as potential pretools of the Voyager component of a female Combiner.

    With the Optimus/Menasor combined mode, an opened chest indicates a male Combiner and a closed chest(?) indicates a.........maybe I'm overthinking this. In any case, this could possibly shed new light on why we never got a Deluxe CW Groove.

    No. Because the Prime and Hot Spot molds were both available as part of the Fan poll even before the gender was confirmed.

    I was joking - I think. Besides, what I was suggesting was that that the Prime and Hot Spot molds were designed for male and female characters in advance.

    In other words, a Prime-based Victorion would be typically displayed with the chest closed - getting the picture? - and CW Groove was actually originally designed as an 'add-on' for a female version of Hot Spot.

    You know these Hastak designers, always thinking ahead.........

    The colors are dope as is. With a shelf covered in G2 combiners, she'll fit right in. I wouldn't change a thing.

    The only reason I'm not buying Predacus is because TFC's Poseidon is dropping around the same time and the only thing I love more than Beast Wars is Piranacon.

    I want it too, but because they insisted on non-toy colors for the trio, I'm not excited about as I would be if they were toy accurate colors.

    I'm more interested to see the botcon toys that aren't in the box set.

    Maybe a Flywheels to go with last years battletrap? Fingers crossed.

    As for Victorion's colours, I love them. As Rosewater pointed out, they'll look good in any G2 collection.

    "Rust Renegades" is interesting. I like the idea of "Renegades" as a name for the team but I've grown accustomed to "Torchbearers".
