I'd rather they skip the Combaticons for the next set. I'd prefer they do Defensor and Devastator next.
Gunshow
If they're not just grossly out of scale with my deluxe Autobot cars (like so many other Hasbro combiners have been), I may buy those Stunticons.
Autovolt 127
These are all great ideas. Hope they come in to fruition someday.

^ this would be a pretty awesome idea; a truly Scramble City-esque opportunity, especially if they do Megatron as a torso of some sort!

After seeing these pix for the umpteenth time, I want these big buggers even more! Also, it looks as though the combos are taller than leader class Jetfire, which should make them kinda close to the 11-12 inches tall mark..

I noticed the 1 Voyager, 4 Deluxes and one Legends theme might lead to them making the current IDW Devastator. Have Long Haul form the Voyager torso, Mixmaster, Hook, Bonecrusher and Scavenger the limbs, and then add Legends Prowl as the head. They could cheap out and make Bonecrusher and Scavenger the same mold, and just change a shovel accessory and paint.
Considering their tendency to change one member to save time/money, I wonder if they did the Protectobots, they might just get rid of Groove and replace him with a SWAT truck repaint of Off Road. They will probably repaint Alpha Bravo as Blades and repaint one of the Stunticons as Streetwise. I hope they don't repaint Motormaster into Hot Spot. He deserves his own mold.
I could see them remolding Silverbolt into Scattershot, and share a Bonecrusher/Scavenger mold with a new drill as Nosecone, a Stunticon like Wildrider or Deadend as Lightspeed. I hope they would make a new mold for Strafe, but they will probably remold the nosecone of an Aerialbot.
I also notice that the upcoming Optimus Prime toy is a remold of Motormaster. While he's not great as truck or robot, combining is cool for Optimus. There are pictures of him online already with Aerialbot limbs. I'd love to see limbs of the Stunticons done up as the characters who impersonated them in the episode Masquerade. Dead End as Jazz, Drag Strip as Mirage, Breakdown as Sideswipe. Sadly they can't do Off Road as Windcharger. I'd prefer maybe a Dead End or Breakdown with a new head as Windcharger.
My personal request would be for them to repaint Breakdown with a new head as a TFPrime Vehicon. I'd troop build it, and even make a combiner with 4 Vehicons for limbs. I love the idea of troop builder combiners.
Now if we can only get a heavy remold of Aerialbot Air Raid as a Seeker, that can be the new mold to repaint into 20 different guys, and then someone make a Voyager Bomber Megatron as the torso, and we could have the ultimate Decepticon combiner commander!
Prediction for a future Botcon… G2 Stuntions box sex! You know it will happen.

I was operating under the idea that he meant to say Slingshot in order to replace the Helicopter.

Agreed. This new Silverbolt is amazing. Blows the Universe 2.0 one and the 3rd party one both away IMO.
unicronic
Hands and weapons I could go for. A new Silverbolt isn't needed imo.
agelmore81
I have mainly been collection Masterpiece figures but I will buy both of these.
GetterRobo
Menasor and Superion are not bad at all. I can see some 3rd party doing a hands, feet, weapons and possible new head for Menasor… same thing goes for Superion, but also a possible Silverbolt fig.
orangeitis
Well his name does have a fresh trademark from Beast Hunters.
Vyndication
I would love for a modern update to Predaking. I like all the 3rd party stuff but my wallets is a little dry at the moment
bellpeppers
Oh yeah, forgot.
Maybe my replacing him with sonar has merit after all

Devastator is still made of 6 guys. Hook is a leg now and Prowl is the head.
That being said, I could live with 5 member versions of Devastator, Piranacon and Monstructor.
Fort Max
Could be, we really don't know. All we know for sure is that we've seen half each of both the planned deluxes and voyagers.
mcart
LOL
"Silverbolt, you sure have your head shoved up your own ass"
"actually guys, that would be our teams collective head I have up my ass"
Dinobot Snarl
Bruticus and Defensor are also planned?
YoungPrime
Well six Constructicons with the same quality and size as Generations Scoop would be great otherwise I'd just stick with the Classics 5 piece set I already have.

Gonna be interesting to see how Takara handles these combiners, color and mold wise.
