    I'll predict a SS86 Optimus Prime, but a 2022 release with an all-new sculpt licensed by Freightliner, not a remold of ER.

    The sword was made popular by the Marvel Comics version. I'm not actually sure if he ever used his sword in the cartoon.

    Hey Apollux, sorry if you've been asked this but just wondering if you know if we're going to get all five Dinos redone? Obviously Grimlock and Slug have been leaked, but there's rumours going around that only 4 are being done, which would be disappointing :(  (especially if its Snarl as he's my favorite)

    He uses it to deflect projectiles in Madman’s Paradise when he’s defending the castle. That’s the only time I know where he uses it

    I would really appreciate an announcement now of Takara's complete Dinobot box set in toy colors. I don't care if it's coming in 2025. Just give me some piece of mind.

    He says one dinobot isn't getting made and it's Slash? It's in the Studio Series 86 Revealed thread. Kind of confusing.

    unlikely to happen considering Takara are the ones that almost always focus on Sunbow colors and that was honestly probably a stipulation of theirs in the brand unification

    @Apollux

    Besides Wreck Gar, was there anything else that we don't know about? I know we are getting Gnaw, Starscream and Slag.

    I prefer cartoon colours - thats my collecting aim, but totally understand for anyone who want the toy colors. I always thought of Grimlock in toy colours as being the leader version of Grimlock from Marvel comics.

    Oh I definitely agree, I just don't see Takara making the swing to toy accurate colors since that used to be more Hasbro's domain, while Takara has always focused on toon colors

    That looks amazing!

    Nothing else for 2021 that I'm aware of.
    Does SS traditionally do repaints?

    Always 2022 and beyond :)

    Studio Series has had quite a few repaints and minor retools in years previous

    So what is the overarching plan for SS86? From what I've read Hasbro supposedly scrapped an 86 Devastator, and that they would do all but one of the Dinobots (Snarl may be given the boot). So will SS86 incorporate whatever 86 characters that were missing from WFC such as Blitzwing, Blaster, Perceptor (I've read that he may not be happening either), the Insecticons?
