This won't be surprising... Mainly because Snarl was in the movie for literally a few seconds.
But also because at some point SS86 will come to an end.
Considering I really thought characters like Kickback and Blitzwing would be a part of this subline and aren't, I'm thinking it only has a year or two left. I assume they're going to want to get Swoop under this banner before it's over, but Snarl may not make the cut in time.
Of course I could be totally wrong... I think about things like Gnaw coming with his blaster, Cyclonus being in Kingdom when he clearly has the SS86 aesthetics, and especially Buzzworthy Kup and Cliffjumper...
Which quick side note; if CJ does get a SS86 release, I won't be at all surprised if his windows are transparent plastic.
But who knows, as far as I've seen, SS86 is selling and selling well.
If Hastak ends up milking this beyond a couple years it won't be surprising at all.
IF Arcee and Ironhide are in fact just slight repaints of their previous molds, I could see Hastak taking this a step further and doing this with other figures to stretch the life of the line.
I could see anything from previous exclusives such as the coneheads and Ratchet, to repainted figures like a battle-damaged Megatron or Prowl keeping this line going.
I'm relatively annoyed that we're not getting a couple Dinobots this year. I really thought both Sludge and Swoop would get 2022 releases.
That, and only getting one Insecticon in Legacy.
Looks like Hastak is going to keep me in the game a while longer.
