    I really think we'll see Volcanicus straight up repainted (maybe w/head swaps) into "Dinoking" w/a shell-accurate deco and Abominus/Piranacon/Volcanicus molds used for inner-bot-deco Monstructor*.

    *Not sure about the torso, but the rest is pretty straightforward

    We're definitely getting a great line with PotP. Just wish we'd see other new stuff other than Generations. Its been too big a spotlight recently.

    I suspect they really never lost them, and that like with Bombshell becoming Hardshell, Hasbro decided to release them with names in the Prime toyline that were more universally kid-friendly.

    Only Takara will be capable and committed to releasing those possible Dinoforce shells. But its going to be an expensive set for sure. New retooled shells...new heads on bots plus newly repainted bots to match the show..not to mention new guns. Lol

    These guys look fantastic! I am really loving the PotP lineup. Of the group I think Rippersnapper is the best looking figure with Hun-Grrr being the weakest. His alt mode is just too wonky. They did a fantastic job with the deluxe figures though, in the cgi at least the look to have very well rounded bot and alt modes. Hopefully we\'ll see what they look like combined soon.

    Oh great, an MSRP hike means a wholesale hike. That should put them officially beyond the reach of the under-$15-plus-fwee-shipping-too crowd. Wonder what availability's going to be like between that math and the usual shitshow that distribution's guaranteed to be.

    Yeah, like they don't even have tampographs and that many paint apps anymore—just stickers and an uninteresting selection. Yet the folks at Hasbro expect people to pay more. Hope these toys make less money so Hasbro can learn a little lesson. :lol

    So not only are we getting the Dinobots AND the Terrorcons, but not one of them is cloned from another, AND we are getting a totally original mold of Predaking, since Deluxes would be too large for a Titan Class! This is some... good stuff.

    Usually I'm a bit more into redesigning old designs into newer, sleeker stuff, but something about these just tickle me. I think seeing anything but updated G1 guys now would feel weird in a line of mostly remade throwbacks.

    Regardless, the potential for Dinoking and Monstructor are just orgasmic. Maybe we'll get an ACTUAL Repugnus, too!

    Also, Submaurader in Seacon colors? Likely not a coincedence.

    And whereas Slash is the new Dinobot character, perhaps her repaint into Cindersuar could be used with the Abominus guys? I'm down with that idea if so.

    I'd be fine with that. Alas, poor Gairyu might be a problem, though... And I would hope they'd use the new heads, as they're Dinoforce toy accurate (if Cutthroat is any indication of the others). Heck, they rarely ever came out of their shells on the cartoon except for Goryu.

    I doubt we'd get both shells AND robots. I think they'll integrate the shells into them and just use the Dinobot molds as Bob said above.

    Yeah, I foresee a Hasbro Liokaiser style release of Dinoking (maybe even at EE). New heads, premium paint apps, a voyager torso, and a lot of complaints about missing 'bots. Smart money on a toy accurate head for Dinoking and an IDW head on Monstructor. Man, I'm going to be disappointed when Hasbro doesn't give us both of these

    If Takara makes the dinoforce , I really wonder if they will go ahead and do the shells too. I wouldn't be surprised
