    I don't think...
    Dinobots are TW-D01 to D05

    Grindrod.

    I thought Toyworld was headin' in a good direction with the Throttlebots.(Except for the combining aspect.) Grindrod is solid. No other groups were treading that path.

    They seemed to take a detour with the Headmasters, they seemed rushed or maybe by another designer. Just didn't have the polish and design sensibilities that Grindrod exhibited.

    I hope it's not anyone I want, and that TW doesn't ramp up their production schedule. I want TW4&5, but my wallet needs some time to recover.

    What other Headmasters are left? I'd like their take on Kup, or Blurr. They seem to do well with rounded features like most of the 86' movie bots have

    I think they were going with a leader theme, what with Hegemon, Faith Leader, Orion. I would love a voyager size Cyclonus.
    If its a head master, then mixed bag, I thought at least the look of their not-Hardhead was cool, improved G1 look (would have liked the face done in yellow though). I was not big on their brainstorm, faceplate or not the FP Brainstorm's altmode was perfect and the bot mode was fine by me.

    IDW Cyclonus would be amazing that's for sure. And if that's the case I want a Great Sword accessory.

    Interesting thought there.

    If Orion is their take on comic-accuracy, I'd rather them stay away from IDW. Their original designs like Hardbone and the Throttlebots are far superior, IMO.

    Nightbeat would be great but would he work as a voyager sized car? The TW series have all been beefy Voyagers bigger than Hasbro's current crop and while I would love a well done Nightbeat I wouldn't want him at the same size as Orion.......Throttlebots-sized and with the same quality as that series would be perfect.

    I have everything tw has done except hegemon (who I do want) and I have to say I love all their stuff. Sure there are a few flaws here and there, but no worse than others minor flaws here or there. Brainwave may be their weakest figure, but I even like him. Hardbone is a thing of beauty. He's easily one of my favorite figs. So idk who thinks they went in the wrong direction, but personally, aside from a bit of extra polish I hope they don't change a thing.

    I agree that Grindrod is the best of the lot but the others aren't so bad. To me Toyworld seem to have stuck with the same designer for the others.

    Me too...or Straxus if they are going the leader route.

    I totally agree with everything u said and I am in the same boat, have everything accept Hegemon. I will say, that I wish TW would pick up the pace, they are going extremely slow on their projects. At the minimum, show us all the throttlebots already and the combined mode. Plus what's up with the dinobots are we getting them or not

    I don't think it would be Nightbeat, he would be part of their Headmaster line.

    Someone mentioned night beat based on the colors used.. I don't think so.. They really just seem like random colors for a teaser to me.. A blue loading bar with a yellow text release date for info doesn't make me think night beat. Though I can't wait to see who it is. But I will say, as others have, I wish they'd focus on the nottle bots first. Those little bastards are awesome.
