    What's the point of Hoist connecting to bases? Does it have to do with his mysterious bridge mode? So far all we have is a shot of a truck connected to a base looking awkward.

    Probably for towing parts. Which is fine by me, since other parts(or Soundbarriers) could be attached to his side 5mm ports for even more base relocation.

    I would love a Skyquake, and I tend to favor G1 toy size over the size in fictional portrayal in many cases. But in this case I'd rather see Skyquake in leader class. Well... In old leader class.
    Please, Hasbro. Bring it back.

    For Adult collectors, nothing really. But when marketing to children it might be channeling Lego's or "Bob the Builder".

    If they actually do a skyquake or thunderclash or electro, do they have the technology to make plastic in the gold color as the original that won’t crumble to dust? Or will that never happen?

    amiami is already offing Optimus and Hoist. They are also still using the grey fist prototype.

    I thought that technology was already used.
    I don't remember where, but I remember reading so in this forum.

    I think cybertron cannonball has the same goldish plastic as those guys but I’m not sure..so maybe? Also speaking of him, the star seekers would Be perfect as mercenaries! Cannonball, Axer, brimestone, ferek and tornado, space pirates could be decent guys to put in this mercenary faction!

    They'll likely just paint the colors regular.

    Oh yes! Gimme a new Thundertron and a Cannonball. Axer wasn't really a Starseeker though. He was part of Thundertron's crew for like five minutes. Maybe if they do a new Cyclonus and Nightstick they'll redeco them into Ferek and Tornado.

    Ah, but he was in the tfcc comic, and you know who else was a star seeker in that comic? Tidal wave!

    I want two Longarms: The Hoist redeco and a Leader Siege Shockwave retool to homage Animated Longarm.

    That doesn't seem unlikely, IMO. I would think that Skyquake would be at least that tall, and since unified scale, size classes have internally varied very intentionally. If Skyquake is on Hasbro's mind(and that's sadly a big "if"), I wouldn't doubt it.

    Wait, who's noncommittal? I wanted, no expected a new Blaster since SIEGE's Soundwave pictures appeared at NYCC last year. He might not be as popular as Soundwave but I still feel that he should be part of Voyagers who should be mandatory next year and hope that most collectors feel the same.

    So if ER's line is similar to SIEGE then we're looking at about 6 new Voyager class molds (minus 2 because of Starscream and Grapple). So we can entertain the possibility of at least 4 more Voyager molds that'll allow more characters, Blaster could be one of them... UNLESS, they just retool Soundwave/Soundblaster's mold again (Hell, make him a Select/exclusive).

    As far as Fembots Windblade/Slipstream mold could be one and/or an improved Elita1/Stricka mold could be another. Then there's Blitzwing which I hope is a Voyager instead of another Voyager charged as a Leader class.

    Or they can retool hoist into longarm and give him similar gimmick to animated blitzwing, but with two faces one recembles longarm on shockwave. I know this is very unlikely, but one can dream...
