There's actually 7 Deluxes we know of; it includes that mysterious Wildrider listing.
The first three you mentioned are in Wave 3, while the other two you mentioned are in Wave 4.
Cheetor & Wheeljack will probably appear on shelves alongside Wave 3 to coincide with ROTB's release in cinemas and theatres.

 

It does kinda suck we’re only getting 2 new leaders moulds this year, I mean both moulds allow repaints, but I’d have loved to see another triple changer

 

I thought that that wildrider leak was fake, I think I’m mixing up my leaks

 

Yep the two new leader molds we got are the Skyquake mold and the Armada Megs mold. Skyquake has a redeco coming in mainline as Dreadwing. And yes I agree I would've loved to see another Triple Changer too.
But don't worry, at least in 2024 we're getting Sandstorm. sadly no broadside  

 

I think it makes a lot of sense to fill the last wave of the year with package refreshes like that, just in case brick and mortar continues to be brick and mortar and barely stocks the second half of the year's mainline. That way at least it's not NEW figures that are hard to find due to wave 1 over ordering!

 

Yeah the listings are also confusing me lol. Fortunately I was able to find the code things (what are they called? It's some number codes thingy) to check each wave out.

 

Ugh. There's definitely logic in what you said. I understand that the pandemic did a number on planning and delivery and transport, but I distinctly remember only seeing anything post-Wave 1 of Earthrise once. There are even still plenty of Kingdom Arcees and Warpaths in some of the toy stores I visit.

 

What are the other three?

 

I’ll be honest here, I think I gaslit myself into thinking Thundercracker was a thing. There’s Prowl, Cyclonus, and Blitzwing

 

Don’t forget the odd “Slicer” colored like Armada Wheeljack…

 

So core starscream pr and core thundercracker is confirmed for this year. What are the odds they do a pr with skywarp and his guns along with other seekers in core mold? I would buy the fuck out of these. Even a exclusive core class rainmaker 3pack.

I really hope robo wildrider is g2 wildrider, really want a g2 menasor

 

We really need to see reveals (or leaks... or crazed drunken bar napkin scribbles) of Shadow Striker and Strongarm, so we can all start frenzied speculating/arguing on possible (p)retools for the molds and/or cheer/bemoan how they aren't "right."

Just rip the bandage off already, the suspense is <hyperbole> torturous </hyperbole>.

 

This is from the "Behind the scenes" on her design

 

I'm guessing the Wave 3 Deluxes will start leaking out around March time. Either way it's likely Wave 3 gets an official reveal in April.

I'm hoping Shadowstriker is the Cyberverse one and Strongarm is the R.I.D 2015 one. As for the Deluxe Junkion I hope it's not another motorcycle, I want something else like a muscle car or SUV.

 

There’s a voyager junkion which may or may not be a car. I like to think it’s Lockdown

 

The Voyager Junkion might be the muscle car we see on the poster, and if it is I'll be super happy because it being a Voyager likely means it'll be retooled into Lockdown. Lockdown is a pretty tall dude after all, even if he's not tall he needs good engineering!

I'm just hoping the Deluxe Junkion, also in the same wave, isn't another fucking bike. I like bikes but damn we already had Junkion 2 (whose name is getting revealed very, very soon). Time for G1 Junkions to have new non-bike Mad Max alternate modes, like Scraphook and maybe Detritus.
If it turns out to be another bike I'll get it if it is distinct enough from Junkion 2.

 

It would be kinda cool if we got a Leader Junkion with a Mad Max-y truck mode, if ROTB Scourge and DOTM Megatron can have it, a Junkion can to.

So many possibilities for Junkions (maybe even a Beast Junkion that turns into a animal made out of junk).

 

Detritus has been confirmed already, presumably as a redeco of Buzzworthy Hound

 

?

 

Eh I think that kind of Junkion can be a Voyager unless he's a Voyager sized figure that comes with a trailer that can break apart for you to customise him and his fellow Junkions.

A beast Junkion could have an alternate mode like this Go-Onger mecha below:

A hybrid of car and animal, sounds really cool if I'm being honest.
