Fellbat would've been fine. Or they could've gone into the Japanesey direction they went with the cassette reissues and used Herubatto. Or Herubat.
Maybe he'll be British in shows from now on.

I agree but I'll come around on "Ellbat" if they put him in a cartoon and give him a Cockney accent.
The fact that they spelled Hellbat's name correctly in the Hasbro Pulse email announcement makes me think that they really really tried to use his name for this release (after all, they bothered to keep "Killbison" as such instead of "Ironbison"), but just couldn't pass legal without removing the H.
Well, I'll sign up for this.
Apparently there's a Batman figure with "Hellbat armor" or some such. So it's apparently a trademark conflict rather than fears about sensitive language.
(FWIW, I think Cockney Hellbat is a FAR better alternative than "Fellbat")
They had me until the fake thighs. It's beautiful, but not as impressive as I first thought.
I have only seen the one promo pic of the hip region in 'alt' mode, I'm not sure what it is supposed to be. A big cargo pod? Or does the dune buggy guy just drive around with part of a combiner 'just in case'? And combining might be even more difficult when you consider that three of the components are fast-flying fighter jets, two are land vehicles one of which does NOT look fast moving, and one of them travels UNDERGROUND...
I dunno, I feel like that's slightly less hard to picture than a space shuttle combining with a helicopter and three land vehicles (even ignoring scale). Combiners generally don't make much sense if you think about them too much.
Except for Abominis. All his components are to scale and equally at home in their native environment.
As was the style at the time...
The video says that Deathcobra has his partner, yes.
Anyway, I've backed it, and the set already has over three thousand backers, so I'm optimistic that it will go through.

I'm disappointed but I still want this to succeed. Allspark March Madness #1 champion, go!
The beast Con combiners (and the Technobots, for that matter) aren't really disguised as anything, so........
I think he will get backed. There is a want for him. Now, will we unlock tiers (are there any, I didn’t read, just backed)? That I’m not sure about.
Wonder if that 3K includes backers outside of the U.S.? I think the Japan market will be big for it.
