    I think it was an assumption based on colors. I hope he is still an Autobot.
    Agreed.

    yeah, but Smokescreen’s head was shared with Barricade, which was a mainline release. (And the reason I passed on him)
    we haven’t had an announcement for wave 4 of Earthrise: it seems like coronavirus-related production and/or shipping delays probably pushed wave 2 from spring to summer, which makes me wonder if we won’t see wave 4 released until early 2021 (Siege waves were roughly quarterly)

    IIRC we heard that the second season of War for Cybertron would be out later this year (I’m remembering either November or “fall” was tossed around.) Looking at this list, I’d take an educated guess that Elita 1, Barricade, impactor and Deep Cover will be Wave 2 and arrive during th summer after the debut of Season 1 (probably late July-September if this is the first whisper we’re hearing of them) and Bb, Wheeljack, Red Alert and Quintesson will be Wave 3 and show up for the Christmas shopping season (Walmart usually has some sort of exclusive then) and to support Season 2, which will likely be Earthrise focused (and you could then extrapolate Season 3 will likely be summer ‘21, around the time Wave 2 of WFC part 3)

    If my theory is correct and Earthrise waves have all been delayed by approximately a quarter, it could be we see the Netflix Bumblebee repaint released before the mainline version.

    yeah, but that’s 8 figures over three size classes, this is 8 Deluxes. I’m thinking it’s most likely 2 waves of 4 and their will be corresponding Voyagers and Leaders (premium ER Prime redeco with Roller for Wave 3??. Pretty please???)

    That's not a bad guess for a breakdown and would allow for a red alert with a painted roof

    God, that would be awesome! I was considering a custom of a Siege Breakdown.

    if I’m right, I wonder if Red Alert would have Earth/G1 tampos, and I’m curious if/when they move to Earth based modes/Stories in Season 2/wave 3, will they keep the super grungy paint from Wave 1 or move to a different type of premium paint apps?

    I think he meant my theorized “breakdown” of the waves in the post above his ;)

    Prominent on this list is Deep Cover which some fans may remember as an E-Hobby exclusive blue and black redeco of G1 Sideswipe.

    He was firstly a color scheme used by the Diaclone toy used to make Sideswipe.

    It also seems that we are finally getting some new molds in this line, including a new Quintesson figure that would be the third mold following the Earthrise and Cyberverse toys.

    You do realize it’s not gonna be a new mold, just a repaint of the EarthRise Quintesson Judge, right? Even if it gets new faces, it’s still not a “new mold”.

    Seeing as these are all deluxes, it's more likely that the netflix "quintesson" is simply the "quintesson alicon" as he is listed in some computers

    it’s a deluxe figure though, the ER one is a voyager. Is there something they could take away to make it work in that price point?

    There will be a yellow cliffjumper repaint but not Bumblebee. Bumblebee will be the second use of the upcoming Bugbite mold.

    I remember back in the Energon and Cybertron days it wasn't always only for a better paint app but also to get the toys six months earlier than the eventual Hasbro release here in the states.

    Deep Cover and Elita-1 are so far my most wanted. Deep Cover for being a great Diaclone homage and Elita-1 for having a none combiner version of her.

    Speaking of Diaclone homages; am I the only one itching to see Siege Sideswipe remolded in yellow! :)

    While I was digging someone showed me this image and is it me or are they different, the headsculpts dont match and the backs are different too.

    Could it be Ariel and Elita? Prob overthinking it a bit but depending on which one they do it looks like one is close to the Chromia mold and the other is closer to the Arcee mold.

    Tigertrack, yes! And then Red Alert as Clamp Down. And then ER Sunstreaker in Red (I guess now Spinout) and Cordon.

    If the rumors of this lineup prove true... I've gotta say I'm less than enthusiastic about a line of essentially redo's of earlier figures but with more distressed paint jobs. Part of the fun of 'toon versions in a given universe is new product. Cyberverse may be a recognizable cast of TF characters, but what gets produced as toys is all new. That appeals to me. Sideswipe or Reflector in different paint and not even a new head? Not so much.
