    For me, it's just curiosity with the labeling.

    Does SS mean something specific like features or accessories? Is it size/scale?

    I'm going to get Cyclonus anyway and get rid of the CW one.

    When I heard and seen that they were doing realistic texturing on the beast modes, I was at the edge of my seat to see Megatron. I was kind of hoping that he would blend in with my JW toys but what we have here looks better than my Legacy rex.

    He reminds me of this realistic reconstruction of a T. rex. (Skin impressions have been found, IIRC.) Way fucking cool. This is pretty much the only reveal I care about here. Kinda ironic because back in the day, I looked maybe four times at BW before just ignoring it.

    I'm wondering if it's just a packaging gimmick like the secret codes for siege and the map for earthrise? It says you need to buy the other figures to reveal the variants so...

    Holy crap on a cracker. Megs looks absolutely stunning.

    Cyclonus is the only G1 figure I bought that actually broke on me, so after all these years you can bet I'm ready for a replacement.

    Man, if Megs is any indication, Primal and Dinobot are going to blow my mind.

    So the only figure we still need to see from wave one is Primal?

    I'm predicting a proper Armada revival in 2022, given that's going to be its 20 year anniversary and Hasbro seems to care about that stuff now.

    If they make a 3P MtMtE head for Cyclonus I'm interested, if not, I'll have to see what Galvatron looks like.

    Wow, Megatron almost looks better than the MP! At least the dino mode seems more articulated even if it does have the somewhat derpy Robot Masters-like face.

    Can't find fault with Cyclonus outside of wishing the elbows were double-jointed. He looks like pretty much exactly as I was hoping he would, and it will be awesome being able to get him, Galvatron and Scourge in the correct scale and aesthetic.

    Cheetor and Rattrap were instant purchases from the get go. Don't see anything wrong or out of place with either of them and will happily welcome them to the collection.

    Pretty sure it's just an overflow thing. The SS Voyager slots are all taken, while Kingdom had a few openings because of how the BW characters scale (ditching Beast Inferno for G1 Inferno might be a point of contention, though). Same reason as how Rodimus Prime is rumoured to be the Kingdom Commander, as Studio Series doesn't have a Commander slot, and BW doesn't have any character from the S1 cast large enough to fill it.

    I'm curious to see who will fall under SS86 and who will be part of Kingdom. At this point SS86 just feels like an extension of WFC.

    Pretty much. I guess it was cool to see these leaked early, but now the surprise is spoiled. Hopefully Primal doesn't leak before the official reveal.
