    Considering he already has Vortex's head, that's practically guaranteed.

    No doubt this figure is being repurposed as Vortex.

    Might also be the case that Offroad is repainted/retooled into Swindle.

    Hmm new paint job, weapon some retooling to his alt mode and a more swindle-y head, I'd buy that.

    Vortex - Straight repaint of Alpha Bravo - maybe new "feet"
    Blast-off - AB/Vortex' legs, with new upper torso/arms (similar to what they've done with Air Raid/Skydive)
    Brawl/Onslaught - hopefully brand new moulds.

    Probably won't release these guys until next year (based on current rumours) but I can wait. FOC Bruticus can stand in for now.

    Yeah, Alternate Head has the Blades Scowl…….I think if they do the Combaticons, Swindle will be a more involved remold of Off Road (including the arm cannon/ guns, visor head), Alpha Bravo in Vortex colors (maybe a more Vortex head)

    People keep acting like ab is not a painfully obvious vortex. its not alpha bravo redecoed into vortex, its vortex predecoed into alpha bravo.

    If that's the blades design then I'll be very happy with it.

    Alpha Bravo really reminds me of No.2, Optimus Primes helicopter limb from energon. Perhaps that's why he's here instead of the original member of the Aerialbots. So will we see a fire truck, submarine and drill thing in the line so we can build an accurate Ultra Prime?

    I get a strong Seeker vibe from that head sketch. Hope to see it later on.

    If the Technobots wind up being made, we'll get a Drill. However, unless they plan on making *new* CW characters with no G1-team affiliation... I doubt we'll see a limb Fire Truck or Submarine from Has/Tak.

    That's not to say that 3rd Parties won't take that charge instead. The CW Prime homages Unicron Trilogy so much that it'd be silly for them *not* to take advantage of this.

    Found this piece of art on the new TF app. Alpha bravo seems to be sporting yet another head.

    It looks like maybe at some point Alpha Bravo would be even MORE similar. It seems at some point alpha bravos head was nearly identical to Slingshot

    We're still going on about the seeker head in the corner after it's already been establised as an WFC/FOC Seeker head?
