    Maybe they will reissue Unite Warriors Computron to coincide with Generations Selects Abominus.

    it's arguably the best combiner of them all in terms of variety, torso stability, accessories and paint applications. It's basically the opposite of CW Menasor.

    And then maybe they’ll brush up Nosecone and retool/repaint it for Liokaiser (if that lower torso/abdomen with legs is a Liokaiser teaser).

    Hrm. If this is supposed to be a tease for a Generations Selects Liokaiser and that's Jallguar in his lower torso mode, I doubt this can be retooled from Nosecone.

    This would have to be made from scratch. How would it combine with Leozack anyway? If it’s via combiner peg, there’d have to be a locking mechanism so that we don't accidentally reenact Jazz's death in the 2007 Transformers movie.

    Maybe the battle trap technique? Or just plain big c clips that flip out

    Especially if you use the Hb fists and feet.

    I hope this is a hint at a Computron rerelease.

    However HasTak wanted. If it only had to combine with Leozack then there's no need for a universal joint like with CW.

    Also, the best bet for Computron is a reissue. Takara already did UW Computron, so there wouldn't be a need for a Selects version from their view.

    The context of my reply was a Computron reissue, so I made the connection to LK’s left leg.

    It was about 2 years ago iirc, Takara reissued most of their mainline UW sets.

    If it's a reissue, it'd have the same parts.

    I just read a translation of the Selects comic.

    Translation: Volcanicus Comic 3 and 4

    • Grimlock and the Dinobots are siding with humanity because the humans haven't been treating them like dumb joke characters.
    • The Technobots are siding with Grimlock because he created them.
    • When the Dinobots were created, Optimus had a failsafe installed in them to make them more controllable. Rung immediately calls him out on his hypocrisy and Prime immediately apologizes to Grimlock.
    • Combining with the Technobots made Grimlock smart again.
    • It turns out the guy at the end was Spike, and he's reluctantly allying with the Quintessons.
    • The Mother Computer from Beast Wars II makes an appearance. I have the vague feeling this might not end well for humanity.

    I know they did Superion, Menasor, Devs and the rest of the main releases. The EX never so now. I'm gunning for Baldigus and Grand Optimus Maximus.

    Predestination? So the events of BW Neo.............:(  unless Grimlock going back to the past might change the future or create a parallel one?
