    Deep Cover is also listed as ‘Reissue’, and I think it’s safe to assume he’s not going to be anything more extravagant than a Sideswipe repaint. Alas the ‘reissue’ bit seems to be generically applies to all these Walmart releases.

    Legends class combiner limbs would be so much fun. And a lot cheaper. I'm not made of money.

    Something I would love to see would be like a Deluxe class Torso with Legends and/or Battlemaster class limbs.
    I'd also like to see Power Core Combiners' play pattern come back in some form, possibly maybe even as Part 3's Modulators. Maybe could be a play pattern with Micromasters and/or Battlemasters as well being the limbs and then the central bot is a deluxe Modulator who can be armour and weapons for other bots or can combine with the 'master' limbs?
    I just feel PCC would work well combined with the COMBAT system :)

    I hope we'll see the Triggerbots and Cons in the next part of the trilogy.
    It would be nice to buy Windsweeper, Dogfight, Backstreet, Crankcase and friends next year.

    I'd rather get these 2 losers and maybe thier targetmasters, I mean we are a needlenose away from a complete con double targetmaster crew, can the autobot ones get some love?

    this also brings up the question, would they redo scoop?

    A proper Goldbug, since Bumblebee is rumored for ER. He would fit in well if the theme is TFTM and the future after it. Heck, all the Throttlebots would be nice.

    I sorta hope the throttlebots aren't just retools of eachother but instead share engineering, I mean freeway, chase and searchlight could share molds but wideload and rollbar seem like a stretch

    also I hope chase/roadburn gets a new toy,

    I really hope they share engineering with Runamuck and not with Cliffjumper

    The question is, should they redo Scoop? Yes, yes they should, and make him as orange as our eyes can stand. Also, a definite yes to Landfill, because we need more dump trucks.

    If we get a Landfill, give him a new head and make him as orange as our eyes can stand, & we have Wideload.


    Being serious though, agree with you on the Throttlebots. Even if they use shared engineering with Runamuck, that could work, as they have very similar transformations.

    ehhh the wideload retool of landfill sorta doesn't work for me because they don't share any kibble placement, but if they do landfill hey selects energon demolishor
    I do agree with the rest though

    Yeah they don't transform similar at all, but realistically I can't see them doing 2 unique dump truck molds in the same line. But man, it would be the best thing ever if they did.

    I'm happy with T30 Scoop, but a new one would be great for people that don't have one. I really want a better Quake, too.

    As for the Throttlebots, I'm imagining Goldbug, Rollbar, and Wideload as retail and the other 3 as various exclusives.

    so, snapdragon and apeface, the guys who are a bitch to repurpose, there's transmetal 2 megatron and optimal optimus but I feel like since we already got an optimal optimus and wfc3 being beast wars they wouldn't do that, so i propose two out there ideas for a selects repaints of the 2: Cryotek from snapdragon and the previously suggested ape-linq from apeface, both sorta are a stretch, but they have to reuse those molds at some point and these two would be more interesting. you could also do armada predacon or optimus minor but eh

    so yea, I feel like the ER selects list is sorta full with hubcap, g2 megatron, rotorsorm, greasepit, hothouse, golden fastrack, bugbite and another one I'm forgetting so maybe we'll see this in wfc3. I mean we don't have a limit of how many selects figures can be made in a year but I feel like this could be it.

    Not all molds get a reuse, so far we haven't gotten an alternate use for Springer or Astrotrain (aside from his earthrise rerelease) either

    I wonder if this is Selects celebrating the 35th anniversary of TFTM. I saw a posting about the alternate starscream head sculpt with mouth open.
