It's a fairly random assortment, but I think the biggest chunk is Energon dudes. Might be some really old stuff for parts too. I gotta go dig everything out. Probably have a list/pics in a day or two.

We need to make it happen.

I also wouldn't be surprised if each combiner had a new member, with the original members (Wildrider, Slingshot, whoever Rook is replacing... It's probably Groove, he's not the right proportion at all with the rest of them) being released later on, "just for fun." Because most G1 fans will feel compelled to get them.

We are weak-willed man-babies, the lot of us.

Also the Cybertron.ca discussion on the poll has devolved into one guy whining its "going to be femmebots laced with yellow fever" UGH

I hope for a femmeboat combiner, though. Did I float that idea already? Because buoy oh buoy I want that a hull lot.

Seacons more like won't ever be seen-cons. You know you can still buy the BBTS exclusive seacons? Puns write themselves.

Also Vote boat, set sail for female is a great slogan. I need to go spam /toy/ and /co/, excuse me.

Nope, no boats in the 80's. They weren't popular or iconic in any way that decade. :pseudo:

Looks like Wave 3 is going to be interesting. First Aid is a combat vehicle which isn't something seen since the PCC Protectobots. Also Rook is an armored truck so unless Blades and Streetwise are not happening there will be no motorcycle limb. However Motorcycle could still wind up being a legends figure.
"Combat vehicle" is a pretty vague term, I hope it's just someone trying to make an ambulance sound cooler. If the Protectobots aren't rescue vehicles I'll be kind of disappointed. But I like the idea of Groove being one of the Legends sixth members, it would alleviate the worst scale issue of the G1 combiner teams.

Also, boat and train Transformers are lame because of their extremely limited terrain options. Sorry, but it's true.

We'll call it Grand unreasonable-price-point. He'll be awesome and like no one will own one cause it's going to cost a thousand dollars.

Or maybe a limited area vehicle guy, go Boat, Train, roller coaster, mine cart, and one of one of these (they're on a track)

I don't think it is either, but I do bet it's a bot. Probably something they'll do next 'season' or so if it is going to be a thing. Not enough ship and other big vehicle bots running around for my tastes.

There are no options yet. The Transformers 4 official movie app is going to be rebranded as Hasbro's main Transformers app... soonish? It makes sense from a "re-use as much as possible" programming standpoint my professors keep trying to tell me.

Thinkin some poo poo through out loud here. If I get only one combiner this year, who should it be, and should I wait to see if they do a giftset? I already have FOC G2ticus, and I don't think I have the display space, discretionary income, or household goodwill to get more than one other gigantic robot made of five other robots. Especially with also wanting to get MP Mags and leave room in the budget for if they release an MP Jazz. I have no residual love for Menasor or Defensor (plus I don't want a second Hot Spot when the GDO one is so dece), Ultra Prime strikes me as bein' pretty silly, and Superion is just kind of bland? I do have a bit of My Childhoods for Skydive, always liked the Viper better than the -15, and I dig Silverbolt's torso transformation. There's Devastator, of course, but he's going to be killer expensive and massive, which is why I never got Metroplex.

I guess if we knew the Technobots were coming, it'd be a sure thing.

Oh man and I totally just remembered I got the repaint of Energon Superion, complete with Awful Transparent Claws With Mold Errors. What a gong show.
