Yeah, i think my friend is right. No other combiner has that configuration in leg mode.
It's Moonracer

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a third party vibe from these?

God Neptune repaint when?Sooner than we might think! Why? Because we know God Neptune is on Takara's mind: My friend thinks Tentakill is Moonracer but I think what we see isn't enough to tell. Yeah, i think my friend is right. No other combiner has that configuration in leg mode. It's Moonracer And why use the female Moonracer for Tentakill? Because at some point it will be repainted as the female Scylla in the God Neptune boxset! tfwiki.net/wiki/Scylla |

They would make a Scylla from whatever they chose from Tentakill.
I think this has more to do with Moonracer being the most squid-shaped of all the combiner limb molds, and transforming in largely the same way as Tentakill (mantel becoming legs)
Also, there are quite a few males that the moonracer/chromia duo are perfect for, like Rung and Sideburn.

My major objection to Moonracer being Tentakill was I couldn't seen how it would work with having the face the right way up on the leg. Spotting it wasn't more or less confirmed it for me: Tentakill is upside down in leg mode: For those interested this vaguely how it would work in Sea Monster mode: |

The squid face will be on the back, so being rightside up or upside down doesn't bother me.
And as a limb, most CW and PotP limbs aren't anything like the originals.

Beautiful. Dunno why I like the Seacons so much. I'd think the garish colours would put me off, but there's just something about them. Gotta get the reissue out this weekend.

And the comic has BWII Snaptrap. Does that make a confirmation of a recolour?

Nautilator is also Blot, he uses the legs again.  |

The fact it looks like they're being sold as two-packs eases a fair amount of anxiety

Looks fantastic. It's only really those slender thighs that make it look like a CW combiner.

Spent today playing with Terrorcons, comparing to the Seacon pictures and being astonished at how much was reused.
Skalor's the only root mode we have, but that's all Blot, bar the head, lower arms and beast parts on the back.
Similarly I can see Blot's body and lower legs on Nautilator now.
Seawing is Cutthroat, even down to using the beast mode legs. New wings, tail and beast mode head.
Overbite is Ripprsnapper with a new Shark's head and fin. Everything else Rippersnapper.
Tentakill has had the most work: we're reasonably sure it's Moonracer but nobody can spot a part in common!

FUCKING PARTIAL HIPPY DAY-GLO SILLHOUETTES!!!
Why are they even bothering? Don't they know that we've already seen the toy show pictures? Don't they know it's 2019 and we have t'Interwebs? They're worse than the politicians in Westminster!
Anyway, that aside, these are looking lovely. I'm torn between whether or not to get them simply due to expense, but if they can indeed be spread out over time - much as we're able to do with Studio Series Devastator - then that'll make it much more appealing.

HEY! Stop putting Terrorcons in Seacon positions!
I can't imagine they'd appreciate it.
