Well well, here's a bit of a suprise. TFSource today confirmed that ToyWorld TW-01 Grind Rod and the other not-Throttlebots will join together as a combiner! AS the TW-T0 series figures are released (5 or 6 of them) the final figure will contain the add-on parts to have all the figures combine into one combiner / gestault! SInce the final figures are a ways a way, we'll just have to wait and see what the final form will look like! Check out the images of Grind Rod as the combiner foot and other images of the toy itself. Read the Full News Story Here

WHUUUUUUTTTT!

interesting...

I was thinking that when I originally saw that picture but thought "no waiiiii"

Very interesting. I'm sure Wideload will be the other leg and Goldbug will be the head module. I want to see a final product though.

Still will let the individual robots decide if I get all of them

more than likely a foot part will peg onto the back and the front of the car will form a knee. The combiner will be very six-biner like from what I can tell, where all the component figures do not contain any combiner parts other than essential joints "elbows, shoulders, and mounting holes" and the combiner aspect will come via kibble that in itself combines into a jet or something else to give the illusion that it serves some purpose other than only exists as a accessory for combination. Which to be honest seems a very logical move as it has added play-ability for those that want it without having to make sacrifices on the figure for the people that don't.

 

anyways the rumor mill suggests this is supposed to homage puzzler. sounds pretty out there to me...

I like the idea, my Throttlebots will be displayed as individuals, though when I've gotten the whole set I will check out the combined mode, if I like it enough then I will hope for a repaint/retool to homage one of the Micromaster six-teams.

If they really are homaging Puzzler, then I need not concern myself with the combined form, as I never cared for Go-Bots
