Nope only 5 heads of the six. Otherwise, the combiner head would be the same as whomever's body it is.

Ha, it seems like the flyers are the most unique of the CW molds. All the cars have been done a million ways.

megatronus wrote:I would have preferred just not getting Ravage or Tarantulus, as both mold choices are straight up awful (Ravage because the Breakdown mold is the worst of all the CW molds, and Tarantulus because, well... so many reasons).
What I would have liked was a revamp of the Tri-Predacus concept. A 'Dawn of the Predacus' theme gives you room for a 5 member black and red pre-Beast Wars team. It would have looked badass, and it would have been easy to have the fiction justify the death of the 2 new members and chronicle the rise of the now 3-member Tri-Predacus council.
The show wasn't particularly clear on whether there were still any Autobots or Decepticons around anymore, or if virtually all of them really had been replaced by just Maximals and Predacons.SW's SilverHammer wrote:What was that line from the Agenda? After the Great War, a few Decepticons were granted amnesty. Most have retired. But rumor has it that one was rebuilt as a Predacon [Ravage]. Wouldn't that mean that there would be some Decepticons still on cybertron that just became recluse or were never seen or heard from again.
In IDW's Beast Era continuity, yes.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Also isn't implied Cicadacon is also a former decepticon whose original identity was just lost to time.

Yep, not to mention there are sooooooo many toys that have no media to work with (outside of the IDW Beast Wars comics) that you could use here.megatronus wrote:I would have preferred just not getting Ravage or Tarantulus, as both mold choices are straight up awful (Ravage because the Breakdown mold is the worst of all the CW molds, and Tarantulus because, well... so many reasons).
