    I can see both inferno and grapple in either chapters of the trilogy. I’m really hoping the next two chapters are more focused on obscure characters like a new deluxe boss and since we’re getting a barricade maybe a deluxe lockdown or voyager blackout

    Its definitely a possiblity, i doubt when hasbro thought of releasing red alert they didnt think of his partner. Besides now that the theme is being back on cybertron almost everyone is technically fair game again.

    Since there's reportedly 3 Leaders, 6 Voyagers and 14 Dlx's equaling only 23 stand out figures in this new line (sadly no real Legend class figures save for Laserbeak who doesn't look bad) and maybe 4 or 5 exclusives...
    How far up your Generations Wish list would he be?

    Its pretty likely they are, given that thanks to Siege and POTP, the Duocons are now covered. Fortress Maximus sounds interesting as a Leader or Voyager, but doing him again feels like overkill weirdly enough. Just my two cents.

    Maccadam also made an appearance on the most recent Cyberverse animated series. He looks like a beefed up version of the IDW character, Rung, though one which appears to transform into a large, off-road vehicle.

    (For those who have both seen the episode and read the Lost Light comics, both characters also seem to have mysteriously grand origins.)

    An Idw-unspired Fort Max would work as a Voyager.

    We really can't rule out anyone who hasn't been announced yet.
    But I'm going ahead and calling Prowl being redecoed as Bluestreak and Smokescreen.

    So nothing beyond wave 3 and the fan-vote 2 pack has been rumored?

    Not only that, but the secondary market is still flushed with Overlord toys.

    I'm not buying another Overlord. The TR version is fine and those asking for more will likely see one in ever other line except for Generations anyway.

    Since the theme is mostly non-Earth alt-modes, I'd also like to see a proper Mistress of Flame figure with a official alt-mode and name aside from her title, preferably Voyager-size. It's glaring that she even made the Prime Trilogy animated series but never got any sort of toy.
    Also, I think the Battle Masters and Weaponizer Deluxe classes would be a good way to bring in other obscure characters that never got proper alt-modes like Lightbright from Animated/IDW (though if they made her, I'd also want a Sparkstalker that's around her size)

    It would be nice to have a legacy character from Animated, and the Firecons. And if we get the Firecons, I wouldn't mind seeing the Sparkabots come back.
    As for obscure characters, I myself think they should look at the Action Masters who were created just for the Action Master line (i.e. Kick-Off, Mainframe, Jackpot, Skyfall Banzai-Tron, and Axer)

    Well there is no fan vote 2pk listings have surfaced confirming they are packaged individually and that this is wave 4

    Mirage
    Impactor
    Barricade

    Thundercracker is believed to be a wave 4 voyager since screamer is wave 2 and back to back seekers repaints make no sense.

    The real question is if they'll do the Conehead trio, given that they haven't had CHUG toys in a few years.

    I doubt it... the distinctive part of the Coneheads are the wings, and that would get lost with the Tetrajet alt mode.

    Perhaps not in siege but in part 2 or 3 they would still need to be a new mold the one they've made for Starscream really wouldn't work.

    Don't forget Rad. His sidekick is already in the Battle Master assortment.
