    Given how much they changed the G1 characters in the Netflix show, I wouldn't be surprised if Blackarachnia or Dinobot or maybe Shadow Panther were a mercenary

    Didn't his box have the Predacon mark? Because he was never for hire. He switched sides.

    I liked that though, because Doubledealer's whole thing is you don't know he's a merc.

    Being labeled a Con but revealing he's a merc once you get him out of the box is a great touch.

    He specifically wouldn't have a merc label on his body.

    TM2 Blackarachnia was a Predacon even as a TM2. Her figure had a swappable Emblem but she was in a case with Cybershark who was a Maximal.

    I think Hasbro would take tremendous heat if they shipped Cyclonus with a merc logo after preorders showed him with a Decepticon insignia.

    Also, Kingdom's whole theme is likely time travel given the golden disk in artwork.

    Dinobot's spark chamber might have a merc logo.

    My money is on any merc logo figures other than that being in Netflix wave 3 or Selects.

    I’m excited with the recent kingdom figures (especially Dinobot!) leaked I’m thinking that this might be the second wave. I’m gonna say this wave will be released in either May or June of next year.

    WFC3 would've originally had a lot of callbacks to UT specifically armada. You'd think so right? Nee minicons seems to be thr evolution youd go for with the micromasters

    Im kinda tired of trilogies. I want 3 years under one banner instead. Makes it seem bigger and less names for my friends to remember lol

    Also with the recent announcement of the release date for the second chapter of the WFC Netflix series. It got me thinking could we see a kingdom Netflix toyline or maybe a BW 30th anniversary line, like what they did with the Seige figures.

    I didn't think to that concerning the play for Doubledealer's packaging and I like it!!
    As a kid, Doubledealer was by far my favorite character. With his WFC release, I was more than happy and, with what you said, he is still by far my favorite character in WFC. Thanks

    that's true the only thing that's close to armada is the micromasters and battlemasters like how you said some are weapons like rung shrute ect and some combine into gun like big daddy and trip up, bombshock and growl ect but why do that and not release any armada characters? o_O

    I don't get wave info but if I had to guess it's just the number of slots available, and keeping some characters in reserve just in case. Hasbro have to tease things out as long as they can - I mean just look at all the Cybertronian to Earth-mode do overs from Siege to Earthrise...

    Its not a bad thing. Considering we know all of the mass market for Kingdom its nice to have stuff to still speculate about

    Y'all know what would be even more cool and great.

    A Commander Class (or a Generations Selects Leader re-release) Powermaster Optimus Prime, but the Takara LG version. If we're getting a Generations Selects Galvatron in toy colors, the toy colors are also Marvel Comics accurate, so it can go with that style.......yeah it would be nice.:confused2
