    You can already make Guard City with figures on hand: Inferno, Alpha Bravo, Streetwise, First Aid and Groove.

    I hope not, that IDW trash needs to stay stapled to the corpse of IDW1.

    I think Takaratomy would eventually repaint the Guard City and Battle Gaia sets, but Id like to think that their priorities would lie in the remaining unreleased Combiners like Liokaiser, Raiden, and etc.

    Well Rung wouldn't even exist without that "trash", and he's gotta save the day somehow.

    But still, that doesn't mean IDW's undue influence shouldn't be minimized as much as possible.

    Ah, no. While Guard City isn’t a major change from Defensor, there’s more deco changes and repainted parts than either the Dinobots or Terrorcons. Heck, just going for toy accurate (GC) vs cartoon accurate like UW-03 will give lots of changes.

    I would love for them to do them, but I’m not sure what to expect anymore. These last two caught everyone by surprise, after all...

    So, only Hun-gurr looks better? Maybe Rippersnapper?
    That's about it. Not even sure Abominus even looks as good.

    You don't have to like the CW Liokaiser, but don't say incorrect shit like this.
    This is why myself and others berate you.

    And if you mean "unreleased by Takara", say that to begin with!

    Will he even see that? For all we know, he could've blocked you.

    It looks better..but I wonder who hasn\'t had a crack at these by now. If some of the pieces falling off are fixed that\'s appealing.

    So excited for this Abominus. I'm going to get 2.

    I hope they put a pin in Cutthroats beak to make it more durable.

    Been wondering that myself. He isn't in this comic which is unusual and making me suspect he's gonna be a surprise game-changer. Only issue is who's gonna come with him? Theres only Dreadwind, Darkwing, Jazz, and Wreck-Gar in terms of limbs.

    Don't think so.
    Not teased via silhouette like the others.

    History has proven that each new addition to Takara's Generations Selects line has 2-3 webcomics about them and at the end of that toy's last webcomic, that is when we should get the tease.

    Well this is escalating quickly.  And badly.  I see Spike recieved an important reminder about trusting the Quintesons.  Don\'t.

    Man at this rate we\'d better hope Rung is Primus, and not in a \"No just the first Transformer, not actually a god.\"

    Wonder if it\'s gonna cumulate with the Titan Class Ark for this line?
