Is there any hope Takara will give us POTP Starscream with a dedicated team, similar to what they did with Grand Galvatron?
All correct, other than that the original PotP set did get released by Takara - it was just identical to the Hasbro release.
Isn't that what God Neptune is for? Superion / Menasor Defensor / Bruticus Computron / Abominus Land Cross / Dinoking Road Caesar / Liokaiser God Neptune / Volcanicus Orthia / Megascream Ultra Prime / Grand Galvatron Sky Lynx / Predaking Omega Supreme / Devastator It's Piranacon that doesn't have a dancing partner until we get Raiden!
Nope. I bought him to give a proper enemy to my TFC Ares, which by my opinion fits better than POTP Predaking with these combiners. Probably it's because he scales better, i mean, Predaking is supposed to be as tall as Volcanicus, so...
Got mine. Some deco changes are neat, others are silly and look bland. Might end up creating a mix-and-match version with Hasbro components.

Got my Abominus in today. Individually the QC is good, but some some reason combined the legs have a real difficult time balancing. Not sure if it has to do with Hun-Grrr or Sinnertwin and Cutthroat. But it's difficult to get them to stand easily. Figures look awesome besides that and I'm very happy that this set was made.
I think joints that are not quite strong enough and being more front heavy make him want to fall. Having his elbows bent with one or both of his arms ratcheted one click back resolves this. I also got him to pose this way pretty easily.
Sure he looks great but he can't stay upright for shit! ... Also all the spine plates should be purple in all modes, I may add paint. Which way around are the shins meant to go? ... Also need to add a bit of off-white to match the kneecaps.
I feel like Starscream and the Fembots are the best two remaining candidates. If they did the Fembots, I could see light retooling in the limbs and maybe a major retool of Elita, possibly even from a different source mold.
I’d buy either of them. I have the Hasbro versions of both. It’d be nice for Starscream to get a dedicated team, though. Orthia could have better paint apps and some remolding. The Hasbro one would still be unique because she’d have Dazzlestrike.
Orthia's appearance in the comic makes me think she is less likely despite two of the five never seeing a Japanese release. A Starscream or something different using either him or Eluta would be great.
