Those all sound like potential Voyagers though, that sounds a little troubling for SS and SS86 if SSGE is snapping up all the future Voyager slots. We do have computer listing leaks for Cliffjumper and Voyager Megatron so there's that, but that's also the only WFC figures we're getting this year, Optimus and Bee are getting rereleased in wave 4.

Oh, huh. Maybe they're gonna gauge the success of this line first with what's been currently revealed before going all in? I'm no businessperson so I got no clue how this darn stuff works. 
I do hope it's paced out carefully to not eat up too many voyager slots, should SS/ShW/SoW even be made at that scale anyway.

Re: Studio Series Gamer Edition Discussion
I loved this game. I used to play Escalation with the “I am 1984forever” name tag floating over characters’ heads like they were constantly saying it. I played with some of you guys from the message boards and got trolled by a few of y’all with mics.
I HATED the original toys, but I will be buying every single War for Cybertron release—especially the characters that never had a toy like Barricade—and army building any generic that comes out. Hopefully one day SSGE will move on to Devastation so I can get some cell-shaded Battlechargers.

I don't think I will be personally picking up any of the three of these, but I am really happy to see these designs again and very curious to see how this new subline plays out going forwards in terms of what it pulls from. I will absolutely be picking up the Cliff from this mold though (please have the FoC head), and it is really cool to see that some of the melee gear is on the table as well, not just the swappable guns.
Also as a refresher for everyone now that we actually know which WFC it is, the following are the other listings and leaks we have at the moment:
This Year: Deluxe Cliffjumper, Voyager Megatron, Deluxe Infantry (this one appears to be some non-mainline release, and may be a Barricade retool)
Next Year (so far, since we've only got like a wave and a half): Deluxe Sideswipe, Voyager Starscream

The new "game" Optimus robot mode looks cool, but I think I prefer the vehicle shape of the original toy. It feels more accurate.

Just thinking business/budget wise. The seekers are pretty good, Soundwave needs some work and Shockwave a little bulking but is also pretty good.
But they are the main badguy cast indeed. Just hope they don't skip my girl Slipstream and my boys Scattershot, Warpath and Demolishor (he looks good in the game).
. ... Leader class Omega Supreme / Trypticon (because Titan would be rediculous since we already have them)
Why would it be ridiculous? Hasbro did Cybertron Metroplex, and while obviously inspired, WFC Omega and Trypticon are very different to their G1 forms that the Titan Class figures that already exist, I would not be surprised, if these sell, to see them show up in titan class as well as FOC Metroplex. If Hasbro extend Gamer series to focus on characters from all the transformers games we've had, I wouldn't be surprised if this is where we get a Titan Class Tidal Wave.
I'd be fairly confident for Warpath, as one of the playable protagonists from the game, I'd put decent money on him being introduced, since the others are MP only I'm less confident, but we can hope.
Also is anyone else mildly annoyed about the fact that the figures are just listed as coming with 'Blasters', when they can be identified as the Plasma Cannon, Energon Battle Pistol (Bumblebee), Neutron Assault Rifle (Barricade) and Ion Blaster (Optimus) from the game?

A man of culture
Generations Metroplex already looks a bit like FOC Metroplex but I get your point.
They look different enough for another Titan go.
And Tidalwave, that would be awesome. That ps2 game was the first good Transformers game. (for any gamer and TF fan out there if you haven't checked it out, check it out. It's PS2 but it's a really good and big open world game.

Re: Studio Series Gamer Edition Discussion
I'm excited, hopefully these turn out well. I bought a bunch of the Generations originals back when they came out, but they were such a mixed bag. Half were great (WFC Megatron and FOC Grimlock were great for the time) and half were fiddly garbage (WFC Bumblebee and the FOC Combaticons/Bruticus were pretty terrible). Never mind how out of wack the scale was with some of them (The Soundwave/Blaster that TOWERED over everyone while the Combaticons were all tiny was especially frustrating). We'll see how these end up.

I do await the update to FoC Shockwave. A favourite of mine and one I'll be happy to buy again (hopefully) alongside his redecos, Fireflight/Air Raid and Brimstone.

I have yet to properly start on my Cybertron Adventures game for the Wii... *bumps it up "priority 2" to play* What? I was a Nintendo purist at the time I got it... 
I'll be keeping an eye on that line, but I wouldn't expect anything from the second game or beyond until we're a few waves in.

Ah, that's nice at least. Still wish he was in any of the games, would've probably been difficult working in a triple changer but I guess he could've been just an NPC...
