    I keep thinking about something involving a character who debuted in this line and a certain, 90's style series. I would still really like to see a G2 Alpha Bravo using G2 Slingshot colors. It would be so garish and awesome looking. It's probably not going to happen, unfortunately.

    Have they confirmed Baldigus? Are we sure it's not Battle Gaia?

    Sort of. The feet are the third party first generation Nonnef, badly painted by me. The chest is the back of Combined mode Optimus, with legends scale Cliffjumper sitting in place via pressure from two flaps, then the blue crotch plate from the other side removed and used as a chest shield. That last bit required adding a peg to the blue shield. There are also two pieces along each side - the two halves of a gun from a previous generations non-combiner toy. A couple small drill holes in the Optimus torso and they peg in perfectly.

    Long story short, it's a backward Optimus with a Cliffjumper on his chest.

    Ebay:
    EE's price is going to be $129.99 plus free shipping. You can't get them right now from Taiwan on eBay for $120 shipped. I thought *I* got a good deal for $135 shipped two weeks ago.. But I have him now instead of a month or so down the line.

    I really like how Cyclonus turned out. I think it's my favorite use. But yeah there's been like no bad uses of the mold. I love my General Sea Clamp as well. The mold wears that head surprisingly well.
    Predaking in my opinion should really be around Devastator's size but with that said they could easily work him into the Scramble style combination, it'd just mean a relatively oversized Razorclaw (the HFG's are like the perfect shape for Predaking's hands and feet anyway). I don't see Dinoking/Monstructor all that likely.

    What i will do is wait for Takara Liokaiser
    Cause i'm not gonna buy a Liokaiser tha is missing two of its original members.
    So i'd say wait for Baldigus, its what i'm doing too.

    I dont think they would do Battle Gaia. Hes not as popular as Ruination/Baldigus.

    Some would have said the same thing about Runabout and Runamuck, but they did both, didn't they?

    Runamuck and Runabout are much more well known that Battle Gaia. The point is battle Gaia was in only about 2 or 3 comics, while ruination was in a TV series, in almost every episode after he was created.
