The Future of Combiners (speculation thread)

Couldn't care less about any others, though, and am admittedly disappointed that the Stunticons are getting a do-over first.

jui jiang makes a upscaled ko of superion that is titan size and really good quality, worth looking into if interested. also includes upgraded hands and feet. i had it once upon a time, it fits perfect with devy and predaking

Highly unlikely esp with a leader class torso.

What a fucking joke. 35x4 +120 for a combiner now.

Ive sold every tf. I may buy some combiners back if they crater 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not really a fan of this design. I know the KO matches the size of the Titan cass ones, but I've never thought it really looked very good to begin with. I'd expect something far more accurate with the next (theoretical) do-over. Guess these new Stunticons will give us an idea what to expect moving forward.

I wonder if the hands and feet will be packaged with motor master and whether they’ll be better articulated than the CW and POTP ones. Those versions suffered from trying to do too much. It’s a hand AND foot! It’s a hand AND armor-slash-primemaster-holder! With an extra thumb!

if its a parts former then I would be seriously impressed if said parts, all or some, can combine/transform into Motormaster's trailer.

You figure that must be one reason he is commander, not leader.

I am assuming that Motormaster will be a commander class because of the Menasor bits included with him.
I am hoping the combined mode has as little parts-forming as possible but if nothing else, I’m hoping everything will integrate into his alt mode and look (mostly) like his G1 self.

I'm interested to see what they do with a new set of combiners. I only got back into collecting during PotP with a dip back into earlier to get the Devastator set. So the only classic combiner set I have is Abominus (which is mostly fine).



The opportunity to get new iterations of the classic combiners is appreciated. Especially if newer engineering can help their stability in combined mode. Because nothing against Abominus, but he and the other PWT scramble-style combiners tend to be a little top-heavy and have some stability/posability issues.
