Realistic predictions for upcoming Generations releases

So, putting some rumours and some educated guesses together, what toys can people see arriving in the next 18 months or so?

I can see the remaining Decepticon Target Masters arriving. Slugslinger has been grey-confirmed in the same leaks that originally revealed the current range of Voyagers and Deluxes, but I think he will be along the lines of Scourge and Highbrow, ie a heavy retool, but this time I can see Twinferno being used as the base. Misfire could be a new mould, maybe shared with the rumoured Arcee release, much like Blurr and Brainstorm. Finally for Deluxes, the more I play around with Triggerhappy, the more I can honestly see a Cyclonus retool. I know we've only just gotten Cyclonus and Arcee recently, but these could still be a few waves down the line, leaving a couple of years between releases!

After the Decepticon Headmasters and Headmaster Juniors releases in the Deluxe and Titan Master classes, I can't see the Horrorcons being left out. I know we got a Titan Master Apeface, but I think he and Snapdragon will be getting Voyagers, and they will probably share a mould. There's also that rumour of a Voyager Shockwave. On that subject, I'd say look at how the legs join together in cannon mode for Voyager Galvatron and you've got your retool right there! As for waves, I'd put one of the Horrorcons with the already-confirmed Broadside and one with the grey-confirmed Octane (from Voyager OP). Shockwave seems to be important to the newly-announced Power of the Primes line, so he will probably be a launch character for that range. If he does end up in the next line, I think the Titan/Headmaster gimmick will be abandoned for him, which is probably for the best considering the proportions of his noggin!

At this point, I'd say it's pretty obvious that all four of the Titan-class options we got to vote on are coming. Fort Max is out, Trypticon will be out next year (probably for SDCC, or maybe HasCon). I think they'll round out the '88 line of Decepticon Headmasters with a late 2017 release of Scorponok, then hold onto Omega Supreme for PotP.

What do you guys think, though? Who do you think we'll see in the not-too distant future?

They only do one Titan per year so the next one after Trypticon will come out in 2018 for Power of the Primes.

I'm guessing a new Shockwave and Arcee are likely to happen eventually, even if neither of them win the Power of the Primes vote. I do hope Titans Return Sky Shadow gets repainted into Overlord at some point, he seems to have been designed with Overlord in mind after all, and it would be disappointing if it never happened.

Overlord has been teased at BotCon, so no worries there, he'll come. I wonder if the female Ominus will be retooled into the male Giga: Twin Cast was retooled into Soundblaster by replacing the head and chest.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
