Skalor looks like a Blot retool, and boy howdy I'd have not called that one in a hundred years. Nor would I have ever thought it'd work so well.

That looks absolutely amazing. Individually articulated fingers on the hands? new feet? Definitely all over that. I reckon Smokescreen also makes the most of that Prowl mould, he looks much more suited to the style.

Oh that's fab, the hands are Hermit Crabs! You know, it looks like that foot has a front/back rocker as well as a side to side one.... |

Yep. But it's the hermit crab that does it for me - I'd not realised that that was what they were going for, but man, these are going to be great.

I do like the look and detail of these but the more I look at Skalor's robot mode the more he just looks too back-former for me.

So on the last go at combiners*, they finally do the fully articulated foot.
*come on G2 Defensor, Monstructor and Dinoking, prove me wrong.

Still holding out for a Monstructor. Need one to fight the inevitable Omega Supreme that I'll pick up from TFNation...

My friend thinks Tentakill is Moonracer but I think what we see isn't enough to tell.

There's no inidividual Tentakill there is there?
Given it's Terrorcon use all round, logic would suggest it's Sinnertwin..... but there's no evidence to confirm/deny/suggest anyone else!

Yes, I didn't notice there was an individual Tentakill at first - the way he's positioned and photographed makes him look like he's one of Piranacon's legs. But he's not! And, aye, a Moonracer-reuse he could be, but hard to tell.
Nevertheless, these are exciting! All of the molds look great, and Piranacon is a brilliantly beefy bad boy (or should that be tuna-steak-y?). My one hope is that the beast-mode jaws of those that have them will be moveable - that was one of my biggest disappointment with the Predacons, the fact they couldn't do that; you have an animal that can snarl, you want it to be able to snarl properly!
The interesting question is now the "Targetmaster" feature is going to work. From the looks of the photos it seems like the individual bot plugs into the top of Piranacon's hand, rather than being gripped. I can't quite make it out, but I'm wondering if it'll be that the figure's combiner connector is what plugs in there - that'd make sense to me. And leads rise to my one fear - that the figures used as the arms won't have enough tension in them to be able to actually hold the gun up.

Those thighs are going to need fillers, but apart from that he looks excellent. I'd love to know what's going on here; Takara keep showing us figures that Hasbro don't seem to want to: Star Convoy, Armada Prime, Seacons, the other power dashers, whereas Hasbro are showing us Galactic Man and co. I thought in this new era of unified releases that everyone is doing the same stuff, but it doesn't look like it.

Hasbro put up Star Convoy for preorder almost as soon as it was announced.
And Phil thinks that Armada Prime is the Optimus from the Siege follow-up line, if not the next Commander figure that was shown by accident/miscommunication, and I'm inclined to agree. Takara has been radio silent on that, too.

There's been two shows since Armada Op was shown and he hasn't been seen at either of them which is very odd.

Assuming the Seacons will be sold as a set I predict it will be...$250!

A shame Tentakills tentacles aren't articulated. That would have been nice.
