Not a whole league, and they have a *lot* of existing names they can recycle. But, like, one done up like Thundercracker as Skybolt of the Kaon Seekers or whatever.

I could go for some pre-existing TF colorschemes representing fictional teams.

I don't think we saw prices for the Hot Wheels guys, either. ANYWAY. If there's only one mold (well, at least a couple different heads), maybe that keeps the costs down.

There's also the G2 Cybertronian colorscheme, (teal/green, silver/cream, mostly) which wasn't stereotypically evil-looking, but gave a menacing, skeletal vibe with the (largely) skull-based heads. (Part of that was the uniformity/consistency, which IMO also helps combiner teams and subgroups--...

Snarl was in the show itself, though. He also didn't have any recent releases, and was part of a defined team.

Hooray, someone remembered Kranix had an altmode in his Universe profile! It's kind of sad, but also hilarious. Shockwave is kind of interesting-- I don't see them bothering with a new mold, and the last one got a comic-based redeco. I guess they've simply tweaked colors before, but it just...

One design aspect of Puzzler I loved is that he didn't *need* the legs- the torso could zoom around fine on the cop car. (It probably helped that I only had those two and an arm.) BUT ANYWAY OG Devastator is clearly an early attempt and it's kind of funny how much time and effort has been...

Puzzler's complete lack of combiner kibble is kind of amazing, though IMO less amazing than Hasbro's refusal to get the hint.

kinda getting Go-Bot Power Suit vibes anyone* can be part of a combiner! *not all figures eligible. Void where prohibited. Ask your doctor if Cortexiphan is right first you. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Lightlong in animation looks even more ungainly, wrong, and pantomime horse-ish. I cannot wait to get these guys and swap their animal heads around.

Also Nemesis Prime/Scourge.

As an aside, the form on the left was officially called an "inferno creature," which I always took to mean "hellbeast." Onyx, though, sure, fine. Maybe if he gets a garish G2-style redeco. I mean, I hope each one gets redeco'd at least once. Out of principle.

I think having a line based on screen-accuracy promoting a current movie is working at cross-purposes, given the lead times and design changes. It's not like it can't work, but you are not going to get "definitive" toys based on nonfinal designs. IIRC The Last Knight had a less-robust...

I was thinking of the "Fell Beast" sense, but that's interesting.
