Really does look great but I don't think I can justify buying the same team twice. I think that would look even better with silver feet and the Hasbro Onslaught.

The side by side shots with Hasbro Blast Off do his colours no favours at all. |

I genuinely don't get why he's technobot orange!
No iteration of Blastoff has *ever* looked anything like that. Even the cartoon which was notoriously wrong on EVERYTHING.

Still hoping for May Mayhem II - November Nonsense to be him as well as Groove. Makes SO much sense.

Apparently Blast Off has a problem with the head popping off during transformation due clearance issues

Gonna need to be something special with the colours if they're going to do Unite Victorion. Hasbro version is ****.

I'm sure the Arcee and Nightbird ones will end up coloured as Arcee and Nightbird!

Now that I could... consider... looking at... and not buying.
Actually I dunno. Could be good. We'll see.
On the plus side, this is a different kind of sillhouette. So... Yay?

TFW 2005 says the last panel translates as:
"– Oh my, my… as the emperor of destruction’s wife… I can’t ignore this.
– Let them have a taste of the force of the 5 of us."
...
THE EMPEROR OF DESTRUCTION'S WIFE!
MRS DESTRUCTION!
AAIIEEEEEEE!!!

Bah. Now I don't know what to do. I really was about to go for Victorion to tidy up the CW stuff pre-TR. Now I wanna see what colours Takara are going to do.

That actually makes sense.
And it might hint at their own realease of Skylynx as Deathsaurus.
I like Esmerelda, and have long wished for a Ripclaw repaint into her.

Post by Toph on Jun 29, 2016 6:27:12 GMT
So, Esmeral may indicate a Skyreign repaint into Deathsaurus.
Esmeral's team though is difficult to peg. There's not enough strong notable g1 decepticon females. Her, Nightbird (because of course they'll do that boringass thing because they're BORING), and Lyzack are pretty much it.
So, there's a good possibility this one may be another pan-generational combiner. Maybe even pan-faction.
Dustup- Nightbird
Jumpstream- Arcee, Minerva, Blackaracknia (in a Binaltech nod)
Chopper- Lyzack, Airachnid
Normally I'd say no flippin' way would they do Airachnid... But who the hell saw them doing Prime Breakdown or IDW Roller?
There's also no guarentee they'd stick with TWO helicopters. They may dump one of the wonder twins and replace her with a jet, or something. If they do that, then who knows what? We could get Strika from Roller.

I'm hoping that Takara actually re-use this year's Botcon molds in this set, so that we can have the Emperor's Wife of Destruction, the Emperor's Two Kids of Destruction, and the Emperor's Cat and Dog of Destruction.
Look, it makes as much sense as anything else they might do.

I suggested Esmeral, Nightbird and Lyzak elsewhere and someone else suggested Deathacobra as another member. That would just leave Not Arcee and if its anything like Galvatron they might just throw in someone from any other continuity. Though I almost cant believe they wouldn't include a repaint of Groove considering it works as an actual Breastmaster. The pack in comic of Esmarel as a fire engine that runs around cleaning up after her husband and later comes to his rescue writes itself.
Skylynx as Deathsaurus forming the torso of Liokaiser would make sense given what Hasbro have done.
But I want to go crazy, Deathsaurus but make the combined mode his robot mode. His Eagle and Tiger breatmasters could be done using a cw jet and car. And throw in Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus as the only two victory cons and they even are roughly the right colour for Deathsaurus limbs.
Then do another remould of Silverbolt for Leozack
So
Pyra Magna - Esmarel
Not Nightbird - Nighbird
Not Arcee - eh Howlback, they can show FP how to do a proper ravage head
Copter 1 - Lyzak
Coptor 2 - Deathcobra or his sister
Combined form Lady Death or something equally bad.
Sky Lynx - Deathsaurus
Howlback - Tigerbreast
Any of the jets - Eaglebeast
Skyburst - Blue Baachus (skyburst head isnt a bad match assuming they dont redo them all)
Strafe (Unite) - Skyshadow
Alternative -
one of the cars - Jallguar (could also be thrown into Esmarels team if mixed gender isn't and issue, he'd make more sense than Nightbird or Howlback)
Combined form Deathsaurus
Silverbolt - Leozak
any 2 jets - Hellbat and Guyhawk
Nosecone (unite) x2 - Killbison and Drilhorn
Combined form Liokaiser.
