An 86 Core class Spike? So we're likely getting an exosuit-wearing human on normal retail with a more elaborate transformation than "fall flat on its face"? Ohh, me like!

titan class, non transformable, but loaded with joints and action features. Included with it would be a
Core sized Shockwave. Maybe that Shockwave could be a straight repaint of the
DotM Cyberverse Commander Shockwave.
That Driller could open the door to the revival of the excellent DotM Cyberverse line, where all the characters were remade in "Legion" and "Core" sizes. Then maybe introducing playsets in scale. I know they tried it at the DotM time with the Ark, but it was subpart. If they get serious about this, we could have some kick-ass display possibilities.
Tey're far more likely to adapt those transforming ships from DOTM as playsets than the Driller, in my opinion. For starters, they actually transform.
Character like the Driller is one of the reasons I usually don't bother with scale, honestly. I prefer to have a representation of the character in my hand than none at all because they couldn't fit the right size.

If I remember correctly, there was always one Dinobot missing in the movie too - though which one it was, as in many cases of 80's merchandise animation consistency, varied with the scene. Most of the time it was Snarl, though, so if they leave one Dinobot out it'll probably be him.

If that's the case, I hope they make Core class Scalpel with sturdier legs. That's one figure in serious need of an update. I got two back when ROTF premiered (one I bought myself, another a friend gave me on my birthday), and
both completely broke those thin balljoint cups.
