    So just like CHUG,

    Classics
    Henkei
    Universe
    Generations

    WFC line is SEK or SERK

    S for Siege
    E or ER for Earthrise
    K for Kingdom

    it basically a given that all the beast wars character are going to be wfc3 now, as there no reason to add them to studio series and all the rumor for them have been toward wfc3

    Well until I see concrete evidence im not assuming anything cause they are not labeled as anything unlike rodimus and hotrod who are WFC and SS86 respectively

    I still think the third commander will be Broadside. Being a character that appeared in the US G1 cartoon puts him way ahead of guys like Deathsaurus and Tidal Wave.

    Someone on the UK page on fb brought up a good point, if the scale accuracy that this trilogy has been known for is going to be kept all the BWs characters will be tiny.

    With 84-86 guys mostly moving over to Studio Series, I hope that frees up WFC for some more late-G1 guys. I really want a new Getaway with Energon Hot Shot as a Selects repaint.

    This makes sense and scale wise, Broadside would be Commander Class YES, and I'd love a Broadside BUT, big BUTT, we really need a Commander Class Decepticon, if they really go 3 Autobots in a row, I'll still buy it but I'll just feel cheated in terms of the Decepticon half of my TF room. It doesn't have to be Deathsaurus although hes my number 1, it could be Thunderwing or Overlord(unlikely, the TR was near perfect)

    They could easily come up with some story element to explain why BW characters are the same size or they could say nothing, as long as each BW character is in relative scale to each other loosely based upon the cartoon, most BW fans will be happy. We do not yet know what kind of story or lore will be attached, its likely 95% unrelated to the original BW cartoon similar to other things that use BW characters so scale to G1 characters would be irrelevant etc.

    Yeah true. I wonder how many of the scale junkies let it slide cause its BWs?

    Siege
    Earthrise
    Kingdom
    Studio Series

    I'll let others make the acronym.

    SKES is an option. :D 

    I can see an argument for Studio Series Jazz having his MTMTE Cybertronian mode.

    1. No licensing needed, for sure.
    2. Helps complete Siege.
    3. He's based on Moonbase One in TFTM so a return to his Cybertronian mode could be canonical.
    4. I don't believe we see him transform again aside from maybe in FFoD, which may or may not be the obscure Munka Spanka rather than Jazz
    5. If both Moonbase One remainder TFs (Jazz AND Cliffjumper) reverted to Cybertronian modes then that definitely avoids Porsche licensing issues.

    Or finally the belated crosshairs from punch/counterpunch

    I wonder if runamuck could be retooled into tracks? The mold seems different from the wheeljack mold, and I was thinking as it has the backpack bit at the top and the legs are quite slender

    I feel like that might fall under the same category as the story changes in how WFC is not just a straight retelling of G1, but has a lot of the broad strokes. I wonder if they may handle it how Earth Wars has where other than Primal and Beast Megatron and I THINK Tigerhawk, the Beast Era characters are all roughly the same sort of size as Bumblebee and such so still smaller than most characters, but not as massive a size difference as in the cartoon. So possibly they would be small deluxes except for the bigger BW characters? The three I mentioned up there I think are around the same size as characters who might be average to large deluxes in Siege?
    For me personally I feel as long as they're a bit smaller on average is preferable to them all being micromasters and losing out on playability. Similar to how I like my Combiners at Commander size as they're still bigger than most everyone else but still at a size where the individual figures and the combiner itself are playable/posable without being basically bricks and not needing to take up a huge amount of space.

    He transforms into the Porsche (along with Bee and Cliff in Earth Modes) when they escape from Unicron at the end.

    From the leaks it appears that's not the case given that among the other there was a mention of voyager Optimus Primal and leader Megatron.

    siege Shrute can easily be replicated by using the torso of siege caliburst and the arms/legs/gun barrel from siege aimless

    It's more likely they will take the MP approach and just have the figures scaled to their own respective casts. The leaks say Megatron is a leader and Primal is a voyager. Why would they be tiny?
