Not to mention the Souvenir Sets. FunPub, if you make a Troop Builder set of Thundercracker clones, that's the one time I'm gonna say RUINED FOREVER!!! :-x Make him the Attendee figure instead.

I believe Pete said that Classicverse collectors would love the troopbuilder set, so we shall see.


Hm, we already had Sweeps and Junkions... Paradron Medics? With Arcee as a retool of Blurr? G1 Arcee did look like G1 Blurr with wheels...



Or they might be cheap and go with an army of Skywarps.

I'm fairly confident Thundercracker will be the attendee figure. The army builder might be Starscream clones using the Terradive mold.

Or maybe some form of Autotrooper/Cybertron security mold, using something like the PRID Ironhide or ROTF Brawn.

Motto: "If I were a muffin, i'd be blueberry"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
So we have currently -
Megaplex - PRID Dreadwing
Obsidian - HFTD Highbrow
Strika - Gen Warpath
Hoist - Gen Kup
Skywarp - ROTF Dirge

My predictions for the other figures -
Tankor (Beast Machines Homage) - Gen Straxus
Sandstorm - HFTD Tomahawk
Jetstorm (BM Homage) - HFTD Terradive
Prowl - Classics Mirage
Megatron - ROTF Mindwipe
Starscream - Gen Black Shadow
Soundwave - RTS Perceptor
Thrust (BM Homage) - RTS Wreck Gar

I'm not sure what the army builder set will be, perhaps some Seeker clones, or BM Vehicon drones

Well, to revisit this again...

There are 9 figures remaining.

Army builder pack: 3
Voyager and Deluxe pack: 2
Deluxe pack: 2
Customization Class: 1
Attendee Freebie: 1

One of these is almost certainly Thundercracker, with my prediction of him being the attendee freebie or in the army builder pack with other reuses of the retooled ROTF Dirge mold (possibly a BWII color scheme Dirge or a Thrust/Ramjet in there too?).

However, all four of their allotted new head sculpts have been used, thus the figures must be straight redecoes of existing molds.


Likely possibilities:
Electro (possible repaint of Hoist?)
More Seekers! (Why stop at Thundercracker?)
Jhiaxus (well, he should be in there SOMEWHERE)


I've made several guesses before, but I think I'll put a definitive bet in now.

Army builder pack: Thundercracker, Dirge (BWII colors), Thrust/Ramjet
Voyager and Deluxe: Jhiaxus (either ROTF Mindwipe or more PRID Dreadwing) and one of the many, many deluxe Optimuses as a failed clone
Deluxe pack: Mirage/Prowl (Classics Mirage) and Starscream (HtfD Terradive)
Attendee Freebie: Electro (repaint of Hoist)

Oh, and...

Customization Class: No Earthly idea... it'd have to be a simple mold... so...

...


I'm entirely certain about Thundercracker and Electro being in there somewhere. Reasonably confident we'll see another Seeker made from the RotF Dirge mold. Pretty much everything else is a crapshoot.
