    Maybe they'll do an Inferno two pack. They're both red so Target would scoop it up.

    So many possibilities for the next wave and beyond. So many repaints of tracks and inferno if those ever come to be. So many curve balls being thrown from every direction. So many things I didn’t know I wanted

    With the new Soundwave coming with retools of Laserbeak and Ravage, I wonder if we can expect a Selects Spy Patrol 4: Buzzsaw, Glit, Garboil, and Howlback?

    Hasbro TT would be silly not to release more or rather ALL of the cassettes before the hype for them wears off etc

    I agree with this - - additionally, Twincast gives Blaster one repaint....

    That's a good point about Blaster in the SS 1986 lineup.

    I don't know but what if he's in ER or a gen selects cause with Thrust out if the main retail release and a potential exclusive we are back to 2 missing ER Voyager class figures assuming Cyclonus is also SS.

    Also true he's not really a remold of Soundwave and a new mold would open up the door for Twincast.

    Thrust is an Earthrise figure. The Inferno coming out in Kingdom has been confirmed to be G1. This would be the last wave to include micromasters on store shelves, which means if they're going to do Blaster they either need to do him soon or make him an exclusive. Since Ramhorn at the very least would have to be a new mold, I doubt that his cassettes would be a selects release.

    Hmmm. Maybe red visor with Buzzsaw? I prefer yellow myself but give him Buzzsaw as a pack in and I’m sold.

    It's a shame to see them scrapping Micromasters after Earthrise finishes. I was hoping we'd see the Micromaster lineup completed.

    Im sure the next few years are already planned out but I think that a Commander Class Deathsaurus / Deszaras would be great! It could appeal to both G1 purists and BW fans, he could bridge the gap and help the two sides find peace. 20200718_105257.jpg

    I would be down for that for sure.

    I have melancholy over where we're heading, but I was thinking about it and came to the same conclusion. I have no love or interest at all in Beast Wars, but selling the main cast of Beast Wars after so long is a better bet probably than making WFC Technobots or Pretenders sorry to say. I would much prefer the latter, but I get it. Thank you Hasbro for seriously making nearly every Season 1-3 and movie main character by the time SS hits on the '86 movie. But it leaves the question of where do we go now?

    Well put. Transformers are by far my favorite brand and I am a G1 guy, but we knew moving on was gonna happen. I was hoping that since they recognized how special a G1 Marvel Legends-style line could be they might use it to push the story ahead. If they don't pursue Japanese Anime, what about some G2 and introduce a G3?? Have Milne, or Ramondelli or someone make up some designs of characters to carry the torch. I think that would be way more exciting than homaging another thing and trying to merge continuities.

    If Blaster isn't in this last ER wave, then the only way I see him getting done is in the 86 line. I think a Voyager blaster packed with four cassettes could make for a decent leader. The only thing giving me pause there is the fact that the 86 line seems to be full of leader Dinobots. Tbh my collection won't be complete until we get a Blaster with at least four micromaster cassettes.

    No reason they can't pack him with his four original cassettes at the leader price point.

    So for new updated figures with earth modes we have

    Optimus Prime
    Ironhide
    Prowl
    Trailbreaker
    Sunstreaker
    Wheeljack
    Bumblebee
    Cliffjumper

    Rumored Ratchet in Select
    Rumored Bluestreak
    Rumored Jazz in Studio Series

    So we just need updates on...

    Sideswipe
    Hound
    Mirage

    What are the chances of them happening?

    With Mirage, I'd be happy enough if they just gave him opaque plastic for the legs. They did this with the Netflix release, just wish the regular blue version had it too.

    They could easily release mild retool/repaints
    Of Hound, Mirage and Sideswipe in GS or Netflix, they already look Earthly as is so it wouldn't require much and Bumblebee and Soundwave are evidence that NX line can contain slight retools/remolds etc

    I would assume a Tetrajet* (Bitstream?) and then something a bit unpredictable (e.g. Blaster from SW) at the voyager price. I imagine the last deluxe is either a second beast warrior or a use of one of the two Ironhide molds (as IH/R, or maybe a Diaclone or movie deco of one of the two).

    As to the discussion about Wave 4, I think it's going to be really weird. I got the impression from the way they were describing the Wal-mart decos during Fan Friday that Bumblebee and Soundwave will not be getting ER figures**. Thrust is WFC-E26, so he's not in Wave 4 as we assumed, and it sounds like Inferno from Grapple is being held over for Kingdom. We're pretty light on mercenaries at this point, though, so I think that's one possible avenue. I can see the argument for a BW character as a preview for Kingdom, but if it is, say, Cheetor, then he's just going to get re-packed in Kingdom, right?

    Here's my guess:
    Deluxe: Runabout, mercenary car (Lockdown from Wheeljack or something like that), Tracks (out of nowhere!)
    Voyager: Blaster from the Netflix SW mold, one of Octane or Sandstorm
    Leader: Maybe no new leader, but if we get one, Blitzwing



    *Who I was assuming for wave 2 - @Fenrys got me on that one, although even there, Hasbro threw a couple mold choices at us that were not what we were expecting at all!

    **But they could be sort of weird re-packs in Kingdom
