    Redwing was “leaked” when his bio was put in place of Combat Megatron’s when that figure first went up on the site.
    How dare you! :lol 

    I dare you to say that to Thundercracker girls face!

    I can really agree with this. Sunstorm has yet to be released as part of Generations if I'm correct. Would love to see Acidstorm as well as he hasn't gotten a toy since that T30 Legends.

    Seekers I wonder if part 2 or 3 they will reuse the Starscream/Thundercracker molds then or will part 2 and 3 start fresh.

    I'm betting they're going to still use the Tetrajet mold for the other Seekers who have the general headshape as Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Maybe they'll be evenly distributed into exclusives and/or one Seeker per two Waves so the parts won't feel like repaints all over and there would be room for other Voyagers like Blaster, Sandstorm, Whirl, Roadbuster, etc.

    Sunstorm has been released, but it was only as part of an exclusive Botcon convention ‘Rainmakers’ set in 2013.

    I agree a new one is needed, though i’m actually more interested in a few of the purple & turquoise ones (Hotlink & Bitstream) as background Air Warrior troops.

    Someone on Reddit said it. But it's not written in stone.

    Sorry to detail but you mentioned a g2 sideswipe...or some sort of pack? I was hoping an alt color was coming for him.

    We need a Leader Class Broadside.
    I don't know how it would work but it should happen.

    A Space Carrier for MicroMasters and Space Fighter, there no scale issues.

    ... Yeah, that'd be awesome. Heck, they could even remold it into Armada Tidal Wave like the Titans Return one, if the next parts of WFC will be about the Unicron Trilogy like people are saying. Just replace Mircomasters with Minicons.

    No, that's not what I'm saying. I know about that. I'm saying that he hasn't been released as part of the general retail.
    Would Commander class be better or Leader? Because if he's like aircraft carrier, I think I'd like a big dude... unless he's not that tall in robot mode.

    That's the Firestormer pack. Which has me scratching my head since the Skywarp's pack is the same price (599 Hong kung is about $63 US) despite the Firestormer set consisting of 2 deluxe's and 1 Battlemaster which is Slamdance (a Skytread remold), G2Sideswipe and Aimless which is only $46.

    Skywarp's Pack is likely a Voyager, Dlx and Patrol set (allegedly) which makes the 599 price tag in China sound more legit.

    thinking that part 2 won't be revealed until SDCC. Has there been any updates on when Hascon is back on?

    What are the chances that we get a WFC part 2 or 3 Star Saber?

    If strong, would he be beat served as a Leader or Commander Class?

    I think coneheads will get a major retool, maybe not even Tetrajets. Probably similar release to the main 3, maybe 1 as Selects.

    I figure Slipstream might get an alt retool or POTP Starscream/Elita parts as a base.

    I figure any straight redecos beyond the main 3 will be Selects/store exclusives/convention releases.

    I was asking more like if they will use the Starscream mold in part like. How do I describe? During Titans Return, there has not been one reused character from Combiner Wars. I guess that is an example.

    It may sound weird but I expect the coneheads would get about as much retooling as CW Magnus got for TR Powermaster Prime.

    It may not be all that visible in botmode aside from the wings changes but they might give them distinct greebles and gimmick integration that’s different for WFC2, assuming there’s a new gimmick beyond COMBAT system. (I figure it will remain an unobtrusive gimmick if it changes but it might NOT for example use the 2mm effects ports.)

    There’s no easy way to keep the vehicle mode the same so it’s either going to be a different take on the Tetrajet or something totally different like maybe Armada Starscream vehicle mode.

    I can see that because then they could just slap the Thundercracker head on the conehead body to do an Armada Starscream (complete with smirk). Robot would look fairly G1 but in Armada colors. If that’s a plan, it might suggest that the wings detach and can plug in either on the legs or the back or function as swords.
