    Eh, never cared that much for Depth Charge (either character or toy). I feel like he had the spot that Cybershark should have gotten.

    They appear to be focusing on the Season 1 cast, judging by the poster and the leaks... so I would be surprised to see a Depthcharge, especially when spots are being used by G1 characters as well.

    I think Depth Charge and Silverbolt could definitely use new figures without all the crap sticking out on their backs. And Silverbolt’s wings can fold down.

    I wouldn't mind a hypothetical Season 1 non-transmetal Depthcharge.

    I had Cybershark, but we all know Depth Charge was cooler.

    Well I highly doubt they're into chroming stuff, but he better be buff.

    I feel like Skybyte's existance has forever doomed Cybershark when it comes to future toys.

    That's because Skybyte is an actual character and he's the best, but they can just repaint Gen Skybyte green and there you go.

    I'd love to see Cybershark. He's a pretty great design. Got the United(?) Axalon repaint of the Sharkticon mold and I headcanon it to be a reborn form of Cybershark.

    I think Transmutate could work as a Fossilizer seeing as the original toy was a build-a-figure.

    In that we agree. I understand what has Bros decision may be, but if I don't like the product, I don't buy it. I won't adjust what I'm looking for for economical reasons.

    No.

    If that happens we would get a damn ugly Cybershark.

    On the other hand, her entire episode was dedicated to how it was terrible that she would be used as a weapon. So it would be somewhat...odd.

    She'd work as a great BAF or RED figure, though.

    Cybershark would most likely show up as a Selects repaint of any potential Sky-Byte.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Beast Wars and I am going to get a bunch of these figures, but only the ones that fill a specific need. In other words, figures of characters which were made in the wrong size or don't hold up well today. I'm assuming that they will just do S1 for Kingdom. Not sure why I think that, but I think it has to do with the promo art we saw. We also heard some unverified rumors. Here's what I'd like to see.

    Maximals

    Optimus Primal - Voyager - I really like the Robotmasters Optimus Primal for all the stuff in him. It's goinng to be hard to top that. I can live without the swords, but he needs a jet pack, shoulder cannons, and wrist cannons. Also, be a small voyager

    Rhinox - either skip all together or just reissue the CHUG one

    Rattrap - same as Rhinox

    Cheetor - I'd get him.... maybe... I'm pretty happy with the original Cheetor

    Dinobot - I'd love to see a voyager figure

    Tigatron - I am more likely to get Tigatron than Cheetor. They will probably be a retool of each other to some respect. As long as he has the tail gun, the gut gun, and a mustache, I am going to get him.

    Airrazor - this is actually one of my dream figures. I want a small deluxe (think CHUG Rattrap).

    Predacons

    Megatron - we heard there will be a leader sized Megatron. I hope it is the formula of "Voyager + Stuff". When BW came out, I skipped the first t rex megatron because he was too big. I won't change my mind now. I already have Robotmasters Megatron despite being pretty small, but I am thinking they make megatron a big voyager (like Studio Series Shockwave) and he would come with a bunch of stuff. A rubber duck, a sniper rifle and 2 or 3 other interesting accesories

    Scorponok - This figure is needed because the original one DOES NOT hold up at all. Small Voyager or large Deluxe (like Siege Ironhide). I don't care if he has a Cyber bee. I just don't care. It was used in 2 episodes and the original one took away from the figure

    Tarantulas - I'm kinda okay with the original BW Tarantulas. He isn't amazing, but I would be totally fine if they reissued the original one with a new head. I think this would be a hard one to do with how they construct figures now. THe part count to make him perfect would be a pain in the ass to do for cheap. If they don't make him, I would be totally fine with that

    Terrorsaur - SO important to make to me. There isn't a deluxe non transmetal Terrorsaur. Make him a deluxe with shoulder cannons. Let a 3p company like Dr Wu make the pistol and/or rifle

    Waspinator - see Rhinox and Rattrap

    Blackarachnia - There is already the takara legends Blackarachnia which is pretty good. I wouldn't mind them just reissuing her

    Inferno - large voyager

    Sky-Byte is the one who saved the Transmetal 2 design but Cybershark in those colours is hideous AF.
    The superior Cybershark.
