    When was that said? I don't remember that. And the original Generations mold is too slim to have the Titans Return head, which would have to be the same same as all the others because of the interactivity.

    I really hope Predaking's his old self here and Hasbro doesn't pull something stupid by making him a repaint of one of the dragon dudes in homage to Prime but with a headmaster. I'd love to finally get a sizeable Predacon combiner.

    Love this idea!

    Takara designer interview back when she was made. You'd have to look through those.
    It was something along the lines of "want to do the headmaster version of her at some point, and at least the hard part was over with having the main figure done so that'd make doing her HM version easier." Paraphrased, but that's about what was said through the translation. Think it was on site here too in the news maybe circa mid to late 2014-ish?

    Retool the neck piece and it's not too slim. And the retooling to that one piece could add the TM feature. Lower it a shade, and you have enough neck room to do it. The only drawback would be that pulling the head out would lift the neck plate out of position from bot mode maybe. But that entire neck piece is separate enough in assembly that it's easy to replace with a newly designed one.

    The bigger question would be how they'd do the convertible seats and if it could do two seater or would have to be single seater.

    A quick google later brought it up.
    TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hironori Kobayashi on Legends (Generations) Arcee
    This would be the version 2 he mentions at the bottom of the interview.

    Which is everything we're seeing now. Cha(Kup), TFTM/2010 cast, Sharkticons. Only thing missing is his Arcee V2.

    The success of both sets of computron will taste like more for both hasbro and takara. And both predaking and abominus are iconic combines.
    It is only that they have more unique molding. However like we see with chromedome heavy reuse of engineering might be the way to go for more of the new transformers. I got good faith in this.

    Considering how G1-esque most of Combiner Wars was, I don't think you'll have to worry

    That's a fun idea. Makes me wish Clobber had been BW Dinobot as a Titanmaster, that then turned into Grimlock's head.

    Fair points. I'm interested to see how they turn out and I'm confident he'll be a combiner. But one never knows for sure with Hasbro til concrete evidence is shown.

    Think about it.
    3 of the limbs for predaking are 4 legged animals, 1 of a abominus is.
    Then 1 similar flying limb each. And abominus has 2 similar 2 legged monsters.
    I think with 4,2,2 3 skeleton designs it is easy to do. Looking at mold uses without redeco in the general line we have 2 breakdowns 3 rooks etc so it is within limits what is done. Also as sets the investment vs. Asked price is easy to manage. Also pre-orders give a good estimate of what they can expect honestly the entire internet sales are really good for production.

    I hope this ends up being the case cause that'll pretty much confirm my theory about the third part of the Prime Wars Trilogy being beast-themed. Trypticon is the centerpiece of that prediction as the past two Titans have matched the current line's theme/gimmick. So unless Hasbro's planning on doing something completely different, I think the subline after TR will be beast/primitives.

    The concept of every thing being a beast isn`t really a gimmick , and right now as we speak there are ` BEASTS ` all through waves one and two with many many more coming . , I flat out adore the beast`s in the later years of G1 lore / comics ...not to mention Beast Wars beast`s ( which a lot NEED modern updates ...like Tarantulas ect ) but It`s gimmicks that drive Hasbro / Takara these days .... and we can all safely bet on seeing more Animal modes in the coming next 2 years , so rest assured that your pallet will be satisfied . I for one am ecstatic with what Has/tak have and are doing :)  I mean I`m shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds ! , It isn`t often for me to be so into whats currently on the shelves .

    I haven't purchased a mainline TF in a few years, but seeing Pounce and Wingspan on the list has me intrigued. Those two and Doubedealer are figures that left major impressions on me as a kid...as MP versions won't ever happen, I could be tempted by modern versions of them.

    This is list is good:
    quickswitch: remold from sixshots
    Blitzwing: Megtron
    Octane: optimus prime
    Getaway: Chrome dome with remold head.

    Arcee: interesting choice.. I can dare to say Blurr remolded
    Tidal wave: If they can make broadside, It will be a Tidal wave
    Preceptor: I would say Hardhead remold is the closest.
    Nautica: Windblade Remold

    Predaking is an interesting one.
    If they can make the animal skeleton structure combiner, Abominus is Possible.
