Diehard Prime fans are probably going to hate this interpretation, especially the default head, but I was never a fan of the original Prime head design so I'm fine with this.

Five? There's more than that but it's going to get a bit weird. Botcon Machine Wars Megaplex used the Skyquake/Dreadwing mold too. Then if you're making Megaplex you might as well make Megatron to go with him. Which is where the weirdness will come in as you'd have both MW Starscream and MW Megatron/Megaplex from the same base mold. Other than them there's also the further different colorations and different robot modes for Beast Hunters Dreadwing and his Adventure recolor. You want five, I want nine. Or at least seven.
Prime Skyquake.
Prime Dreadwing.
Machine Wars Megaplex. Maybe with two heads in the box so you can do Botcon or MW.
Machine Wars Megatron.
G1 Skyquake.
Machine Wars Starscream.
Universe King Atlas.
Beast Hunters Dreadwing.
Adventure Dreadwing.
Admittedly though, the Beast Hunters retool would very much be a HUGE stretch. It's just all that would really need to be done is to change the wings so that they can splay out, change the feet to the bird feet and change the weapons. And...also...change...the...head...wait a minute. The head already kind of looks like the Beast Hunters head. Or rather, it looks more like that than it does the standard head from the voyager or the Cyberverse commander molds.

Wishful thinking I know.

I never realised this mold would be so flexible.

Hasbro may cut it a bit loose with some cars and jets, but for Generations I don't think they'll be that loose Making BotCon Megaplex out of him is already a bit of a stretch, no offense.

G1 Universe Skyquake... What would they name him to avoid confusion? G1 Universe Predator Skyquake? Maybe even Scrash?

The shoulder pads are there! the headsculpt is pretty great, I like the new eyebrow pieces from the G1 figure. And i like that the G1 figure influence is fairly mild, and where it is present, it still matches what Prime Skyquake general look had.
I really like it, I think they finally did good here on a Prime universe figure.
Oh also, new pic showing a new combination of alt modes. I guess we now know what Needlenose is gonna be retooled into and what the secret of his alternate use was

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen?
Rotf Mindwipe and Skystalker?
Stratosphere and his drone/gun that was cancelled?
There's no way they'd do those. They're just what came to mind when I seen the picture.
I do like the Nitro Zeus comment though.
