    If they're really going to be releasing this in the diaclone release order, the wait to see just how they handle Kaen is going to be painful, because he's going to be the very last one. I wonder if that's why they seem to be going this way, so that they have more time to try and figure out how the heck they're actually going to make it work.

    TT is not nearly so haphazard as 3P companies. They'll have worked out the mechanics long before Shouki was even revealed.

    There's probably additional fine-tuning to go, but not to the point of still being mid-design. There's still 1-2 years worth of pre-visioning behind all these toy designs that we never really see, until they're ready to reveal them.

    I just hope the resulting combiner doesn't look like diarrhea dogshit, I don't care how they do it. Partsforming included.

    This.
    Cad files are already done, what they can do now is testing tolerance and plastic, and made minor changes (maybe)

    I think it's pretty fair to say combined Raiden mode is gonna look like a train wreck.

    Seems likely. 3rd guy will be likely in December and the remaining 3 following in 3 month intervals.

    That's his lot for being the only MP Decepticon from The Headmasters series.

    He'll probably end up getting stomped by Raiden when they do the diorama pics for the last Trainbot.

    This going to be rough going through 6 bots seeing them kick Soundblaster's butt all across the city. Maybe between now and final bot they introduce someone else into the mix

    Hope everyone that wants this enjoys them, but I can't spend titan-class prices 6 times for a combiner I'm not super interested in. At Voyager prices I'd be seriously tempted, at leader prices I'd need multiple "this is a perfect toy with ZERO flaws" reviews, but at titan prices I can't do it.

    Well maybe they can beat up Ratbat some too and give Soundblaster a reprieve!

    That’s why we need a Predaking reveal soon. And then they use that as a stepping stone for Blaster & co (with a nice diaroma of Ramhorn thrusting Headstrong into the sky).
