    Considering we've seen them get some attention in the past few years, can we expect to see these guys get the third party treatment soon?

    I would like to see this but have them based on animals not monster bots with legs. Do a snapping turtle, stingray, squid, shark, crap & fish. Still give em weapons, MMC make it so!

    Whilst the Kreo's are ver cool, there's no way I'd display them next to Giant, Collosus and Intimidator :lol 

    I've considered several times getting the reissue Piranacon, because I really like him, but I've held off in the hope that someone would tackle him. I wouldn't rule out Hasbro doing a legends scale version for Beast Hunters if the Legends Abominus sells well though. Which would be awesome in my book :)

    I'd love a set of Deluxe scale Seacons!


    But I'd settle for this in a pinch. :D

    Indeed. If Abominus does well, I see the Piranacon or Monstructor (Maybe a Dinoking too) as likely follow-ups.

    I hope Maketoys has a rendition because I have the G1 devy maxed out and it feels so loose and shaky. I want a connecting linked sturdy build Seacon boxset. Crossing fingers for one eventually.

    More of a KO, but is was remolded a bit, there was that shrunken rainbow colored one. It was actually very interesting.

    I even started making tech specs for them.

    Toying with doing them after I finish Dinoking/Monstructor

    Haven't decided for sure yet. I DO need some Masterforce troop builders though ;) 

    Of course my kits are more DIY than most "3rd party" items, but you don't mind a little elbow grease....

    I'd like to see an Abominus first (other than the Hasbro one).

    Make it so only Overbite has a gun mode and you'd improve things immensely. (Also give him no limb mode). And forget scramble city--there is a "preferred" arrangement that gives him a symmetrical color scheme.

    If you've seen the recent custom here on TFW, going with legless alt modes helps too--though it sort of requires display stands.

    I will not accept legless fishes.

    I LOVE what Sculpt-Bot is doing, it's a very fresh and modern take on the Seacons, but for my money, I want Sea-MONSTERS as they have always been portrayed.

    It's hard to have them come on land and menace the humans if they're missing their legs :)

    IF it happens it probably won't for at least another year or two.

    Well, I'm sorry if the Seacons offended you in any way. :lol

    There's only so many combiners. Unless this whole third party thing suddenly bottoms out, I'd say its a question of "when" not "if."
