42079 has Dark Blue parts, 42080 has Lime and Green Parts.

I didn't mean all sets. Just wanted to mention that I am happy about the colours in the specific sets.

Eh, keep trying, you are not even close :)
Actually, all that you have made is a topic that included incorrect details about sets, and it was merged with main 2018 Technic line feed.

I forgot to mention that I have dyschromatopsia.

Good that there are people out there always making mimimimi

Let's stick to the 2018 sets discussion, please.

Please tone it down a notch or two. @Robin_IV was only trying to be helpful. No need to respond to him like this (and your previous post).

I have reworked my post to fit in this topic because before it was a extra topic & fixed mistakes. Should be more accurate now.

If there is anything wrong yet a PM to me should do the job. ?

It's OK and do not worry about dyschromatopsia because noone is perfect; we all make mistakes from time to time and you only had good intentions, so do not worry abou it 

[Robin_IV]

I appreciate your encouragement. :)

This page mentions what the B-model for 42079 is, but the word that is used is too general to understand what exactly it is.

[Bartybum]

@dimaks13 what’s the word?

"The model can be turned into a powerful tractor to play even more fun."

Why tractor instead of material handler  D:

Well, at least we know what the B-model is likely to be now.  And by "tractor", I'm thinking it's something that pulls. An aircraft tug perhaps? 

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Well it is a tractor with a possible reuse of the gear rack and the holder. So... tow tractor? Tractor with a crane (42054 prelim)?

Quote

Improve your handling skills with a set of "Heavy Duty forklifts" (art. 42079) from LEGO Technic 2-in-1.

The model is characterized by a number of authentic details and functions, including a steered rear axle that provides high maneuverability, and a large boom overhang for access to hard-to-reach loads. Prepare for loading: Place the fork and the pallet tray and then relocate it to the desired location!

This rugged model is equipped with a 2-cylinder engine with movable pistons, detailed cab driver, signal beacon and large wheels. The loader is presented in a yellow-blue color with stickers for additional detail.

The model can be turned into a powerful tractor to play became more fun.

Exactly, direct meaning of the word "тягач" is something that pulls.

Tow Truck Fever! Seriously, this'll be the third one we've had recently after 42061 and you-know-what.

Don't you know we did have a front loader fever as well? 42030 in 2014, 42049 in 2015, 42053 in 2016.

None last year, though. The age of the tow truck is upon us.

Plus, you forgot 42023 from 2014 as well.

Likewise, this page states that the B-model for 42081 will be a dump truck called PEGAX.

Oops, this has already been mentioned in the dedicated topic.

Out off topic question, sorry.

Have you seen that teaser with lego, aston martin and james bond? Do you think it might be new supercar or probably new lego theme? I wish it will be new supercar, however it is just 2 weeks after Chiron release, hard to believe they would start giving us spoilers in 2 years advance.

I doubt it is going to be Technic model - as you mentioned, Chiron has just been released and 2HY sets are around the corner. So it must be something else. People speculate it is going to be new Creator Expert vehicle.

A quick search shows many existing conduits for speculation
