    I certainly hope we do. Hopefully with at least one new mold.

    I just hope we get an Earth Deco of SIEGE Mirage, one of the easiest EARTHRISE releases and Hasbro is sleeping on it for some reason.

    Where's the easy Slapdash remold?

    I wonder if the product code experts @Nevermore or @Jtprime17 might have any further insight into the existence of wave 4?

    Has there anything been leaked I'm not aware of?

    Mind you, neither I nor Jtprime17 are using super secret inside sources. We have access to the same sources everyone else could use, we just know where to look and how to connect data.

    Shouldn't there be some listing evidence by now for wave 4 as we approach August?

    I doubt it given the fact that we are only starting to see wave 2 on shelves now. Remember, due to the virus, everything got pushed back. We might not see wave 4 on shelves until maybe December if not January.

    Not necessarily, wave 5 of siege came out of nowhere last year (yes, yes, it was a last minute addition, but it's still proof that not everything leaks months early)

    I'd be shocked if that doesn't happen at some point.

    Why heads? Why not Power Master engines? Why deluxe? I think they'd be fine in Micromaster size.

    Fair point. I was just thinking of the two faces we've seen before. Good call on more accurately reflecting the vintage gimmick.

    He never said that. He said that Cliffjumper will have new tooling and won’t be a bumblebee palette swap.

    I'd actually be okay with that. Slapdash's bot mode isn't the greatest.
    I only hope he won't come with transclearent parts if they do him that way.
    Altough Leadfoot would still be a better reuse of the mold and Slapdash should really had his signature shoulders.
    The faux cockpit could also serve to attach a rotor to in a somewhat less nonsensical way than it was on the G2 toy.

    While we're on the subject : they still haven't done a red Mirage.
    And I'm still rooting for a Slicer redeco of Wheeljack.

    Not a fan of Slapdash coming from Mirage but it seems bizarre that we haven't gotten a Leadfoot reuse, especially given that we're getting Rotorstorm out of Spinister.

    I'd want him to have a dedicated mold too, but if Elita One and Bumblebee don't get one I guess I can't complain if Slapdash doesn't.

    They called the Ark “Vanguard class” on the show, might that mean they are working on an Ark?

    Wave 4 was confirmed early on in the map artwork, but I am surprised it hasn’t been revealed yet.

    Any chance Hasbro will finish our the 88-89 Micromaster sets? It would be a shame to get this far and not do it.

    The Ark has been referred to as a "Vanguard class" vessel since 2005, because of how large and heavily armed the ship is.

    Transformers: The Ultimate Guide was the first place the ship was officially classed as such.

    Most likely all the Triple Changers will be revisited at some point. I've guessing Broadside will be a leader class (would rather a Commander class myself though)

    Blitzwing, Sandstorm and Octane are likely to be voyagers again.
