Nice! But probably wont be the molds we want them to be. Soundwave should be an Ironhide retool (either mold would be fine with me), but would probably be a repainted Netflix Soundwave. Blaster would be fine if the Kingdom figure is good. Wheeljack is an easy enough repaint of the ER figure. Ultra Magnus will probably be a repainted Siege or ER Magnus which isn't a great option and there's no telling if they'd retool his head, but if it gets us a Generations Delta Magnus figure at long last then I don't mind him not having the right head.
Off topic, but I lost track of this thread and wanted to add something to the GoBots conversation. All Hasbro got when they bought Tonka was the GoBots name and character names, that's it from the IP. Bandai got the toys and Hanna-Barbera (now Warner Brothers) got the character likenesses. Every time they've used a GoBots deco (Fracture/Crasher, Deadlift/Spoons) they changed the name, and when they used a GoBots name (Bugbite) they changed the deco. It's such a complicated mess, we'll never see Hasbro and WB on the same page let alone all three. I'd love to see Bandai reissue the original figures under Machine Robo if that's what it took to get it done.
