Yeah, Towline (Wrecker Hook) is said to be a redeco / retool of Scraphook.
Interesting. I wonder if it will be a retool to the point where it's been switched from Post- to Pre-apocalyptic, or if it will just be a brightly colored Mad Max (Glad Max?) vehicle.
EDIT: Or, third possibility, will it be in Robotmasters Evil Tow-Line colors? That would certainly fit the existing mold better.
Siege did.
Excuse me, but Combiner Wars was like…last year, right? RIGHT?
How in the world has it been ten years…
I gave up on the whole 'have to do X because they did X' years ago. I still have the Ultra electronic Onslaught. Great incredibly solid if somewhat boring toy, though I outfitted mine with the HeadRobots Butcher set and that wound up awesome.
...in MY day, 3rd parties made UPGRADES, not figures! And they added those parts uphill in the snow both ways, Yetis attacking at every turn and Optimus Primal was the same guy as Opimus Prime but that meant that Cheetor had to be Hot Rod, or maybe Bumblebee, and-

Can I get reverse Machine Wars decos then...
Still got the classics too, I just went into the loft oday to remind myself what a leader class figure used to be, lo and behold, I grabbed Revenge of the Fallen Leader class Optimus Prime, I tugged his body and got "I am Optimus Prime." with two flashing leds, one in his head, one in his body, both different colours.
Then I saw Hunt for the Decepticons leader class Starscream in his gorgeous deco, one button press and we get "No one can defeat Starscream."
Both solid, both posable, both awesome.
Then I went back down to look at the recent leader Blitzwing and wept. (Not really wept)
They released Galaxy Force Optimus during Siege without Leobreaker or Wing Saber and during Legacy, they released Armada Notroplex, Nah-scream and Hotshot without their combining Minicons, etc.
I wouldn't have a problem, as long as the final result looked like a G1-ified version of those characters. However, they managed to homage Animated Prowl's and Bulkheads chins, etc so there's a chance the RID bros.' aesthetics couldn't be included in some way?
Scarr looks alright in robot mode if you ignore the lack of elbows, but that dino mode is a bit naff.
Compared to the rest of the Dinobots, Swoop is a minor miracle. Great robot mode and a pretty good dino mode.
Genuinely shocked, honestly.

Nice! Love the use of the gestalt fist as the tail club. I assume the other fist will be Snarl's Thagomizer.
(I'm amused by how swoop's head seems to be tilted quizzically, like he's wondering how he got here.)
Oops, never mind, the other hand splits into Swoops guns. Just noticed it.
Beat ya to it five posts above yours (and Grimlock's in the wrong thread).
I wonder what the chances of us getting a Leader class Scarr in the mainline at some point in the future. Obviously not until 2025 at the earliest, in whatever follows Legacy probably, but I'd love to see what he'd look like when given a leader class budget without having to factor in turning into a combiner limb.
Who's "Scarr"?
