    If they make a cw style version of Raiden I would assume it would be a heavy retool but of what figures? Top of my head I would think the fembots would be a good choice for limbs, but what about a torso? Another version of silverbolt?

    If they do a titan class, again a major retool of who? Could they pull off a retool of devestator?

    I’d prefer a reissue but would be fine with a new version.

    Still hopeful a 3P will take a stab at him. It’s been quiet for awhile on that front.

    Is this going to be crowdfunded and is Hasbro/Takara now just trolling Zeta?

    I think the Hotspot mold could be made into a train.
    If it's titan size the chances for new molds are higher, but even if not a direct retool they might share some engineering with Devastator.

    I wouldn't hold my breath on a Scramble city CW style gestalt , but instead a six team group..TT tends to stick with show accuracy... Folks kept saying Piranacon would have Nautilator as the target master ( G1 cardbacks showed Piranacon just as Takara did, but ultimately, The right leg and arm switched places , and in some cases , leaving out Nautilator all together, making Overbite the right arm.) but TT made King poseidon , not Piranacon leaving Overbite as the TM... And because of such , I love it... I'm all about G1 accuracy , this is just my opinion , but still, I'm giggling like a little girl inside .

    Well, I think if they do a titan class Raiden, probably will have 4 new molds and 2 remolds (from 2 of the that new molds) where basically the change is some things of the train and the head for the robot mode

    If they do a CW style combiner, the formula could be two new molds (the torso) and 4 remolds from others characters previously released

    It will be all six unique fully transformable and fully combinable trainbots in a box set, and Takara will make them also functional and scale as model trains. The dream Raiden set to end all dream sets.

    Then afterwards everyone will soon faint when they see the $600 price tag.

    Do the Omega Supreme tracks conform to one of the model train scales?

    I would love to see a CW-style Devastator someday. Exactly how that would work given the peculiarities of his combined form, I don't know. But these things could be figured out.

    Do them all! Let's have some real Combiner Wars.

    It's already based on assumptions and little else.

    I agree on all accounts except that I actually would buy a reissue if they released one. But if not, the KO I already have is about 90-95% as sturdy as the real deal and works just fine in my collection.

    There’s no need to be condescending.

    Yes, you were, and it’s up to the person you were condescending to to excuse you, not me.

    We've got over a month until the actual announcement. This thread will have gone to trash well before then, regardless of what they actually announce
