    It's almost certainly BW Scorpy. I guess if I want G1 Goldbug, I'll have to get this.

    Same. Sigh......oh well. We'll just have to bend over and spread our cheeks for Hasbro in this case.

    A white Waspinator would be Botcon Paralyzer.

    I agree, although I bet they’ll just name him Bugbite.

    Interested in Goldbug and Ransack (if it's the Deluxe Insecticon).

    Wait what? ANOTHER 4 pack of a BB recolor, an "essential for G1 completion", and 2 beasts? Wtf.... At least goldbug is a "new character" this time, but still, having to pay for 2 characters I'm not interested in sucks...

    Since when is Ransack an essential G1 character?

    He said "essential for G1 completion," so from a completionist standpoint everyone is essential. Even if they were toy and/or comic only.

    Personally, I hope it's G1 just so we don't end up with Ransack all by himself with no Crumplezone.

    It must be the g1 version because Kickback is a Legacy wave 1 deluxe. The last 4pack was 3 repaints and a minor retool. I see Ransack as a Kickback partial....

    Prime Arcee is also a wave 1 deluxe, so she could retooled into Cybertron Ransack.

    Technically, the last 4 pack was 1 repaint (Bumblebee from Bugbite), 2 minor retools (Nemesis Primal and Blackarachnia each got a new head) and 1 heavier retool (Fangry)

    That would be a lot of retooling, a new mold would be better

    That's assuming Prime Arcee looks like Prime Arcee and isn't merely a homage to Prime Arcee.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the mold uses IDW Flamewar as a basis of design

    I just hope G1 Goldbug has the VW altmode, otherwise they can kiss my fat ass.

    I'm assuming he won't, since "Bumblebee" in the last one of these didn't. Honestly, if they won't/can't do the VW, I'd rather see him be based on the ER Battlecharger mold. If they're going to blow the alt mode, they could at least give us a better robot mode. I'm assuming we just get the Cliffjumper mold though based on SG Goldbug using it and them already having the head sculpt tooling from him.
