So the likes of the Multiforce, Micromaster Six Teams and the Predacons have already been reissued in the recent past, and with the announcement of an Encore set of Combaticons, it's now your chance to vote for which vintage Combining Teams you'd like to see reissued next!

Technobots, and not just because they're the only 'Scramble City' style combiner I don't have a complete version of. Like the Combaticons they're all distinctive and have decent individual robot modes, and they'd tie in nicely to MP Grimlock and his brain-vac accessory.

Pretender Monsters - rubber skinned gestalts. Nuff said!

Aren't the Pretender Monsters prone to GPS? Though I am sure Takara, in 2009, can make a more durable mix of gold plastic.

Oh, and another release of the Predacons would be nice too. They're the only figures I've seen where the reissue has actually made the price go *up*. Star Convoy came out around the same time and people found out he wasn't that hot so now neither it nor the original go for much, but it seems the Predacons actually live up to the hype.
They've done Prime, Jazz, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave et al more than once. They always sell. Let's see a bit more Predacon love!*

*Minds out of the gutter. I mean love as in appreciation and well you know it.

I agree with Nick re: Predacons. I assumed they would be available for a while so by the time I had spare cash they were gone! It's a neat team. Bit overhyped but fun nonetheless.
As for this pool, techonots and terrorcons wold be nice as they are very distinctive and fun moulds. The Breastmasters are great toys, I wold love a set of those! And you can't go wrong with Pretenders in rubbery skin so a vote for the Pretender Monsters. Never tried to track down the originals due to the aforementioned GPS.

The reason I left Seacons off the poll is that it's already been confirmed by Takara that they're going to be reissued this year. All six of them, with all their accessories.

The Technobots and the Breastmasters would be great to see, and over the years I have developed a bit of an affinity for the Terrorcons (for no reason I can fathom). I'd want a Dinoforce reissue over the western Pretender Monsters though - I think the pretender shells/monster suits are better on the Japanese ones.

Voted for Breastforce too.
There was rumour a while back that the moulds for Gaihawk and Hellbat were either broken or stolen. I hope that's not true, although it would explain why those two did'nt receive a Rescue Force butchering.

Breatforce even though I own it, its a great design that more people should have. I dont really care about the Dinoforce combiners but I do think the shells are great I'd love a set of them and the Pretender monster shells, if you have to have the inner robots as well Dinforce would avoid GPS.
Assuming the missing Breatforce rumours are true I'm voting for the Terrorcons simply because they are the only Scramble city team I dont own a set of, Hungrr's been keeping himself company for a long time.

So the four memberthing is most likely Hasbro UK just being off there rocker at that point in time. Andy |

Blimey! I hope he's not joshing, I'll have both teams if it's true.
Anyway, I voted for the Constructicon's as I just really want a Devastator boxset. I already have the Terrorcons and Technobots and they're super fun moulds. Hun-Gurrr was way ahead of his time with articulation IMO.

Trainbots being re-issued makes sense. I assumed they would be re-issued to compliment The Constructicons anyway  ===KEN |
