It seems so!

 

If they put Kickback in SS86 he'll have to look like this!

 

I want some Vehicons too but of a different variety

 

Okay bring on Blue Trailbreaker. If I read the list right we're also getting a few more among the "Diaclone" crowd who didn't make it into the 80's Autobot line up. Clampdown, Silverstreak, Hauler, Lift-Ticket (Red Hoist), and Burn Out (Black Skids)

That leaves Crosscut, Reboost, the other Red Skids (there's two), Red Mirage, Black Ironhide, Blue Hoist, and Yellow Trailbreaker. At least among those who'd be classified as "Autobot Cars". Sorry Delta Magnus and Loudpedal.

...also Earth Mode Hound.

I do hope we get more seekers to balance out the two sides. Need Sunstorm, Bitstream, Nacelle, Blackout, Slipstream, Cloud Ramjet, and Jungle Starscream.

 

They should do a two pack of Reboost and Screech. I’d love that.

 

I too would prefer Polar Claw got a new toy, mostly as I never got the original as a child.

Haven't seen images of Dragon Megs yet but will post when I do.

As others have mentioned Iguanus is the shell bot with inner motorcycle alt-mode. Assuming Skullgrin will follow suit.

Regarding Insecticons, I kind of get where you're coming from, but Kickback looks pretty good and comes with energon 'blades'  

 

Really hope Gears isn’t canned long-term. Hasbro have smashed it with the Deluxe minibots so far and I think he’d end up being great in the current style.

 

There are too many possible repaints & light retools they could get out of a Legacy mini-deluxe Gears mold that it would be short-sighted for Hasbro to leave money on the table.

 

I reckon Crosscut is most likely given he’s fairly well established now, red Skids and Mirage seem fairly likely as Target exclusives, and we (will hopefully) have options for fairly easy customs of black Ironhide and blue Hoist.

Yellow Trailbreaker seems the least likely and so I need it the most. Maybe in a two pack with Sunstorm? We could call him Sunbreaker!

 

I forgot they are also doing G2 in Legacy.

Also for things they could do in part two or part three, Micro Change, Robotix, G.I. Joe crossover, Animated, and a very big maybe for Brave.

 

This thought gets me through the dark moments.  

Gears and the other 84 minibots are a given over the next few years if you ask me. Too many 84-85 fans with too much money for Hasbro to separate from our wallets for it not to happen eventually.

 

I've long maintained that it wouldn't be too difficult to design a mold from the ground up that could serve Needlenose, Windsweeper and Dogfight.

And it wouldn't be to everybody's taste, and require a faux chest, but it could also be spammed to death as deluxe Seekers.

 

Please this, Hasbro.

 

Do these "Blades" look like they could form up his wings in insect mode or are they separate weapons?

 

Excellent detective work, yes the blades can attach to his wings to augment their shape and make them larger. They're 'energon' weapons though so may be translucent plastic.

 

Energon weapons like from Transformers Energon?

 

Does kickback resemble his TR figure in that he has more bug parts like his arms form a thorax?

 

Haha I laughed so hard at this.

 

Does Kickback at least still have his Tommy Gun though? Cause that's what I'm more concerned about.

 

Wait so you don't know if Dragon Megatron is a Transmetal dragon or an organic dragon?
