A surprise, to be sure...can't say it's a welcome one though.

....no? Elita's supposed to be a Minerva pre-tool, Crankcase is his own mold. Where did you hear otherwise?
I saw it mentioned on TFW2005 a couple of times, though it may not be completely accurate.
I mean, that's were the majority of the leaks have come from, but the only time I remember seeing anyone say Elita would be an SUV over there it wasn't coming from a leaker, and at least 7 people immediately questioned it and got no response.

Wasn't there rumors about Nighbeat coming in Legacy? Why would Minerva not be a retool of him?
Also, there was also a Siren a.k.a Loudmouth rumor too.

Because those rumors, while from credible sources, came from before the big Target listings leak that ended up not including any of the Headmaster Jrs. It seems likely that they were planned and then didn't make the final cut, like what we were told happened with Kingdom Gears and Polar Claw, and they could still happen in the future since Legacy is questionably going to be longer than a year, but for this year they aren't in the cards. It's also been said that Elita is a pre-tool for Minerva like the Titans Return Megatron/Blitzwing and Optimus/Octane, so if/when Nightbeat happens in the future I would expect it to be this same mold again since the mold is primarily designed to be/look like Minerva and is only releasing as Elita first to get the mold in the retail lineup as a more marketable character.
Also that Siren was said to just be a Selects figure from Nightbeat's mold, so it would have led to the hyper-accuracy crowd complaining if it had come out anyway.
