    How about some Megatron speculation.
    I would note that Megatron has been consistently shown as a tank you can see it through cyberverse you can see it through Authentics or Evergreen and right now you can see it through the Transformers TCG

    Further I propose that we will see a Megatron that has missile launchers on his legs (a new detail that Hasbro seems fond of), of course he'll have his big Cannon and his G1 colors. I suspect the only real difference you'll see from cyberverse and from the Transformers TCG is that he'll have folding treads for a hover mode. Just a theory.

    But wait what about his accessory, Optimus has his shield so what is Megatron going to carry? For some reason I doubt he'll carry his mace I know that's strange, but I think maybe he'll come with laserbeak.

    The good news is this time he'll have ankles and perhaps they'll get the right colors on his legs.

    Optimus's shield transforms into his axe, though that's not too difficult to do. I suspect Megatron will come with either a blaster/sword accessory in the vein of TFTM, or a mace that can double as his back cannon.

    After thinking about it for a while I wonder if the theme of the Siege line is also armored forms? I mean we have obviously Magnus having his G1 gimmick with also Sixgun acting as armor for certain characters along with the potential Optimus repaint of Magnus with armor homaging Galaxy Force Convoy. There's also the potential idea of Shockwave having the same thing.

    Well we were told 14 deluxe would be sold in the waves so we right now we have two full waves plus Red Alert that have been revealed or leaked. So 5 retail releases plus Walgreens Ratchet. I honestly believe that Mirage and Impactor are the Amazon exclusives for the year either as a two pack or a pair of single packs (possibly with Battlemaster partners). The 5 remaining spots could easily be Wheeljack, Tracks, Spinister & Needlenose. Then that last spot is totally up for grabs. Generations has averaged 17 to 18 deluxes annually for the past 4 years and 14 retail, 2 Amazon and 1 Walgreens is 17. A Leader exclusive seems more reasonable then a bunch of Voyagers (outside of Skywarp which has to be some sort of exclusive).

    Also, (i will continue to say this) I'm not confident we will get a new POTP exclusive tomorrow. I think Grotusque was a unique situation and we shouldn't draw conclusions based on it.

    No, he robbed me of a certainty for Wheeljack.

    More people wanted an official Impactor toy than a Cybertronian Wheeljack, so Wheeljack lost the vote and thus the certainty.

    But, I'd look at it this way. Imagine how pissed everyone would be if they voted for a Cybertronian style Wheeljack space van and then found out that it's just going to be his earth mode with some snazzy greeble on top of it instead.

    Ah ok. Wheeljack has been featured in the background art of some of the Siege promo materials so i think he has a high chance of showing up. Or he will show up in year 2 or year 3. He pops up every few years honestly and I wouldn't worry about it too much

    I think it's likely. Especially since at SDCC, Warden mentioned that Siege features a unified scale, with all figures being scaled in relation to each other. So since Shockwave is shorter than Optimus Prime, a Voyager, an armor-up feature for ol' Shockey is probably what we'll get.

    Yeah, it's shocking, but hopefully the decepticon reveals will be worth the wait. I like everything I've seen so far and can't remember the last time I was so excited to have the toys in hand. Pretty soon we'll start seeing video reviews of wave 1.
