    That's what I meant with the individual heads and chests, those are almost the only differences, again except Rollbar.

    Rollbar looks the same to me, am I missing something? Also noticed Shuttler and Blast-Off are flipped on those two images but thats not accurate to either.

    It's mostly how the front of the jeep works, the only way I could see it working is a Sunbow Swindle having a fake chest, without massive retooling.

    Here's a good comparison pic of how different a toon accurate set of combaticons and commandos should look:

    God Sunbow Bruticus is so dumpy. But yeah it really is just some chests and heads that would need changing. Maybe Blastoff -> Movor's legs.

    I see. All things considered a faux chest for Swindle is not unlikely, but if it doesnt have one im fine with Rollbar having the wrong chest if everything else is good. A small price to pay for Total Ruination.

    Honestly, I'm happier with Rollbar being the one retool extensive enough to change the transformation.

    Honestly the arms and legs would need to be different too, at least in terms of surface details. So many details are just rearranged or completely different, like Movor doesn't have thrustors as his feet, while Blastoff doesn't have the nose of his shuttle over his hands, Armorhide has treads on the back of his arms while Brawl has treads on the front of his shoulders, etc.

    WFC hasnt been slavishly G1-accurate so I expect any Combaticons to look close but not quite like that. And the Commandos will just be a close enough redeco of those with a new head. Id be pretty happy with that.

    In terms of expectations, I expect a future Combaticon set to look like the G1 toon designs but with added detailing and updated proportions. Things like the thrustors on Blastoff's feet, the windows on Swindle's chest, or the treads on the front of Brawl's shoulders will probably be accurate to the toon design.

    And if we get a set of Commandos I expect they'd just be a straight repaint of the Combaticons, if anything. The idea that they'd have any retooling, much less be new molds, is more of a pipe dream I have than an actual expectation.

    We'll probably have to wait for 3rd party to start making MP RiD/CR figures before we ever get a serious stab at a toon accurate Ruination team. But I can dream.

    Thats less than ideal, but its not like they weren't repaints to start with.There's always the Iron Factory Catastrophe.

    im gonna be laughing to hell and back if motormaster is a retooled ss dotm megatron, seeing as he pulls off the same thing a basic motormaster should.

    cab becomes the feet/shins, trailer becomes the rest of the body.
    retooling to make it a different truck and a normal trailer as well as having a combined mode.

    I am hoping they get through a few more Minibots before they mostly move on from G1 dudes. I've been loving the Deluxe-class versions of Bee, Huffer, etc., so I've been holding out hope for the likes of Brawn, Gears, Windcharger, and Cosmos in the same fashion. Doesn't have to be immediately (and probably won't be, going off the rumors/listings), but eventually would be nice!

    I believe Cosmos is coming next year in the Walmart subline (unless I didn’t see it get debunked).
    I can’t imagine they’d only do some deluxe scale minibots and not the others so they’ll come in due time I imagine.

    I don't know who this is in reference to, but I agree.
