    I don't know if it's already been a topic in here but "Where is our Kingdom fan vote?".
    I mean we had a fan vote for each line/chapter since Thrilling 30. Maybe they'll announce it for Toy Fair NY 2021?
    And there has been no sign of life of the Kingdom Commander class figure. So my best guess is that the vote will be for the Commander class. We already had two Commander class figures so far so we had a good look at what this class others. I know there have been rumors from reliable sources that it won't be a Beast Wars character but maybe they only saw one of the choices for this class IF it ends up being the class fans can vote for.
    Another idea would be a vote with the following options for either Deluxe class or Voyager class:
    - Gears
    - Polarclaw
    - Tarantulas
    - Terrorsaur
    The first two because it seems they got scrapped from the Kingdom line up and the latter two are still missing in the leaked listings even though it would be pretty odd if Tarantulas and Terrorsaur ended up being the only Beast Wars season 1 characters not being released in the Kingdom line. But maybe they'll appear in a subline like what Galactic Odyssey is to Earthrise.

    Problem being the sublines aren't doing new molds. Soundwave and Bumblebee are the most extensive remolds out of the exclusive figures, and many speculate they were bumped when ER was shortened rather than meant for exclusive release. Even so, they're Bumblebee and Soundwave, which makes them safe bets for the investment. Maybe a Tarantulas can be remolded from Black Arachnia with a new head and torso, but I'm not sure where they'd get Terrorsaur from.

    I'm imagining something like the release of ER Ironhide and Prowl.
    Maybe Airazor just turned around in alt mode.

    Airazor is too short to be Terrorsaur.

    In Kingdom they only release season 1 characters (it seems). BW Inferno and Transmetals where season 2 and 3. I'd really like to see the season 2 and 3 characters redone in the next trilogy.
    BW Rampage is an awesome character and toy. I still have the original one and it's in great shape shape: he's missing none of his accessories, the chrome is still intact and even the rubber treads are still fine. I don't think I'd buy a new version of him because I think it just wouldn't be as good especially in alt and transport mode and with all of the chrome missing. transport mode is actually my favorite mode of his. The only thing that might make me get a new version of him would be if its robot mode would be way more advanced. Then I'd just put it next to the original.

    But my main question here still is:
    She's a Deluxe class in Kingdom. Terrorsaur is definitely bigger than her but they could upscale her to a big Deluxe or even Voyager class. Upscaling molds is nothing new to Hasbro *squinting at Studio Series Movie 2007 and Starscream and TF Prime Beast Hunters upscaled Cyberverse figures* o_O 
    Or only use her engineering.

    But she's the only mold that be used a base. If you want a Kingdom Terrorsaur, that's probably what we'll get. Otherwise just wait for 2022+ when there's room for a new mold.

    Plus Energon Galvatron. And Cybertron Starscream.

    ...Starscream gets a lot of upscales. =p

    I've waited for figures in WFCT for decades, I can wait a few more years for an accurate Terrorsaur. ;-D

    Energon Galvatron?

    That brings me to the idea that Terrorsaur and Tarantulas might be the next releases in the Masterpiece Beast Wars line.

    Rodimus has already been confirmed by @Apollux to be Kingdom's Commander class and it lines up with the linewide paper gimmick of "possible destinies", likely one of which will showcase Hot Rod gaining the Matrix and becoming leader.

    But what would a Commander class Rodimus Prime figure look like?
    A Commander class would definitely be too big for him. A Leader class like in PotP would be best...unless they pack him with a sh!tload of accessories. Like they did with SS 86 Hot Rod.

    Uh, now I remember.

    I got this from another forum:
    "Commander Rodimus is said to be around Voyager size with leader engineering and a trailer battlestation. Some of his accessories include the Sword of Prima (Regeneration 1), two guns, matrix, and multiple blast effects."
    And maybe a fishing pole :lol 

    And this:
    "Also, for details of what he would look like: he's been said to be somewhat more toy-styled than SS86 Hot Rod. Also, his little "cab" part of the vehicle mode separate from the trailer apparently looks decently like its own vehicle; it's not the best looking on its own, but it at least doesn't blatantly look like literally half of a vehicle."

    I wonder if, with Hasbro's purported confidence in the design, we might finally see a Lord Straxus/Darkmount from it finally?

    (His wheeled flying cannon mode has always seemed a good fit for such a Galvy makeover, and it would be funny to end up with a Strax that owed his body to a Future version of Megatron! :lol )

    By prefacing "it" with "Hasbro's purported confidence in the design" I was paraphrasing what was IIRC @Apollux's prior statement something along those lines referring to Kingdom Galvatron, not specifically Rodimus, admittedly it's somewhat of a tangent from the general recent turn of the conversation even though on topic for the overall thread so I can see how you'd make that mistake, if you hadn't read the full post to where I actually state "Galvy" outright instead of inferring euphemistically.

    There is a review for Kingdom Voyager Class Optimus Primal on YouTube if anyone is interested. It's not in a language that I am familiar with, but it still gives us an overall better look at the figure, so enjoy!
