    Slammer and Smokescreen could be Autobots, for that matter.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing a female Seeker variant, that said. Get Slipstream and some repaints into the line.

    Love filling in the blanks!
    Wave One
    7 - Sideswipe
    8 - Cog
    9 - Hound
    10- Skytread
    11 - Optimus Prime
    12 - Megatron
    13 - Ultra Magnus
    14 - Shockwave
    15 - Greenlight and Dazzlestrike

    Files that unlock April 2019 - Wave Two
    20 - Chromia
    21 - Ironhide
    22 - Sixgun
    23 - Prowl
    24 - Starscream
    25 - Soundwave

    Files that unlock July 2019 - Wave Three
    26 - Red Alert
    26 - Reflector
    28 - Leader Class Optimus
    29 - Omega Supreme
    34 - Ratchet
    35 - Lancer (or whatever name the now near confirmed 4th Elita limb gets)
    36 - Brunt
    37 - Thundercracker
    38 - Firestormer pack

    Files that unlock October 2019
    39 - Impactor
    40 - Mirage
    41 - Barricade
    42 - Springer
    43 - Unknown Autobot - Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, or Bumblebee seem like likely candidates. Sunstreaker appearing in Sideswipe's blacklight code and Wheeljack anbd 'bee having their iconic Cybertron moments in the first episode of the cartoon.

    Funny that Skywarp doesn't fit into this, unless I'm missing something obvious?
    edit: Oh yeah...Select Series.

    34 and 43 are somewhat interchangeable. The walgreens exclusives, like Brainstorm, the clone two pack, and Wreck Gar all tend to come out September-ish, and I think Ratchet is the exclsuive that'll be equivalent.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and sat the following are wave one deluxes for WfC Chapter 2, despite 3 'cons to one 'bot being...unusual. Obviously I'm not going to let that stop me speculating.
    Files that unlock December 2019
    48 - Needlenose
    49 - Pointblank (or maybe whichever out of Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, and bee who doesn't come out in chapter 1)
    50 - Spinister
    51 - Fasttrack

    OR...big if...what if they're bringing back something equivalent to Legends, and we'll see the Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leader unlocks in Jan 2020
    48 - Crankcase
    49 - Huffer
    50 - Runabout
    51 - Windsweeper

    Loving all the deep lore references to the landscape of Cybertron. Fort Max (and therefore Cog too) were based out of the Manganese Mountains in the Marvel Headmasters comic, Tagan Heights is from Dreamwave, Slaughter City originated in Marvel UK but became an industrial centre in the Exodus novels.

    I didn\'t notice the unlockable videos right away, but in the stop motion clips, the Optimus banner has a code on it. Translates to \'RESIST\' if that means anything as a bonus.

    Edit - Never mind! Just saw the Optimus/Megatron background thing! Serves me right for bleary eyed reading on my bus! - Let me ask you - where did you find this pattern data? I’m trying to figure it out via the Hasbro website and don’t see it. Is it just back filling via the known wave release data?

    Selects doesn't do voyager size yet. So far it's only deluxe stuff.

    But I think Skywarp is rumored for a special boxset release like Sideswipe is allegedly getting. Like how ratchet is a store exclusive iirc.

    Bumblebee probably won't be up until WFC2 though, but he could make it to the tail end of WFC1 depending on hype and sales cycles. Jazz is another I'd toss in that list since he was one of the few vehicle modes that did get shown in MTMTE part 1. But again, seems more for WFC2 to go with the other recolors of things like Prowl's car brothers.

    Wheeljack is likely bumped to WFC2 since he didn't win in the poll for WFC1. So I could easily see BB, Wheeljack, and Jazz being the lead-in figures for WFC2. Especially since they led into WFC1 with Soundwave having his telcom pole alternate mode and the Tetra Jets. So since WFC1 was heavy decepticons of MTMTE part 1, I'd expect WFC2 to begin with the autobots of MTMTE part 1.

    *Edit* As an aside, These are only substantiated guesses. Do not take them as gospel.

    I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't get Cybertronian versions of Wheeljack, Jazz and Bee that homage the versions from the G1 toon. They showed us lamppost Soundwave and tetrajets...to leave out the others would be a travesty :) .

    Cog’s is my favorite. He’s not a drone! He’s a mechanic (like how I portrayed him in a MUSH 20 years ago).. Fort Max’s group’s equivalent to Ratchet. And then the Manganese Mountains reference!!

    I just went through the source code, I couldn't find anything important except that it lists the faction. Screenshot 2019-01-03 at 9.11.31 AM.png Screenshot 2019-01-03 at 9.11.13 AM.png Screenshot 2019-01-03 at 9.05.10 AM.png

    This was my first thought as well, glad someone else dove in to try it out.

    Slaughter City sounds like a great vacation spot.

    Incidentally, these bios just make me wish there were official Transformers playsets. One can dream...

    Why? One is a centuries old term for what happens in situations such as the Autobots find themselves, and the other is a copyrighted campaign slogan.

    So if the site has entries for *all* of the Siege line...does that mean the Battlemasters and Micromaster Teams are supposed to have hidden codes somewhere on the packaging? Because so far I don't think anyone's reported any.

    So i'm making some guesses here based on what we know is getting released and the wave composition we have a general idea of.

    Files that unlock July 2019
    26 - Unknown Autobot - Red Alert
    27 - Unknown Decepticon - Brunt
    28 - Unknown Autobot - Springer
    29 - Unknown Autobot - Leader Optimus
    34 - Unknown Autobot - Omega Supreme
    35 - Unknown Autobot - Firestormer Pack
    36 - Unknown Decepticon - Refraktor
    37 - Unknown Decepticon - Barricade
    38 - Unknown Autobot - Lancer

    Files that unlock October 2019
    39 - Unknown Decepticon - Thundercracker
    40 - unknown Autobot - Mirage
    41 - Unknown Decepticon - Impactor
    42 - Unknown Autobot - Wheeljack
    43 - Unknown Autobot - Tracks

    Files that unlock December 2019
    48 - Unknown Decepticon - Skywarp battle pack
    49 - Unknown Autobot - Ratchet
    50 - Unknown Decepticon - Needlenose
    51 - Unknown Decepticon - Spinister

    I made some judgement calls here.

    First, I used Lancer and the losers from the fan vote to fill out the spaces left in each month. Lancer is basically confirmed now and the 4 losers probably were far enough along in the production/design stage that they seem like easy choices to slot in.
    Second, Barricade keeps being mentioned as a wave 4 figure but there aren't enough Decepticon spaces in October for him, Thundercracker and Impactor so i moved him to the open Decepticon space in July.
    Third, Ratchet had to get slotted in to the December space since in reality the Walgreens exclusives don't really start hitting the shelves until November/December anyway.

    since cog's code is fortressmaximus, has anyone tried "metroplex" or "trypticon" since we know brunt and six-gun are in later waves?
