It most probably will. For better or worse. Some dont like the cube head. Though I think it will work way better for Kup than for others since the top of his head isn't curved much.

Looks like they're doing action-masters such as Krok also, which is awesome.
Not... quite. Krok was also rumoured to be a redeco of Skullcruncher (probably with a new face), and is almost certainly in the line over another redeco because he's a MTMTE character. It's not so much an update of the character - especially when Skullcruncher looks completely different to Krok and Krok turns into a jet based on his kibble - and more a "well we have to redeco these guys into someone. Might as well give the MTMTE fans more characters for their shelves"
Good point. He does suit that mold pretty well though.

Eeeehhh...
EEEEEEHHHHH...
I really can't see it. Even if the crocodile parts didn't put off the silhouette completely the chest doesn't work out no matter how many paint apps you throw at it - sort of like UW Swindle's "chest window", which is totally there guys it's not just the combiner peg and fake jeep front kibble painted over!!
I'll probably get anyway if only because I need a Krok for the MTMTE display and I really can't afford the better TFCC one right now, and I want this mold anyway because it's ridiculous and beautiful

I thought the rumours did straight-up say Krok and Quake were redecos with new faces?
If they do make it a retool then I'd be a little happier about it, yeah. Especially if they use that opportunity to make it a smoother crocodile alt mode so there's no spike kibble in robot mode offputting the silhouette. My complaints right now mostly lie with the idea that it's a straight redeco - face aside - and nothing more.

Doublecross is one of those obscure figures I really took a shine to when I was little, yet haven't been able to properly add to my collection.

We'll see. If it's just a few pieces it would make sense. The chest, fronts of the legs, the lail, and the head are pretty much all that need to be changed.

They currently have both Sentinel Prime for $24.99 each as well as all the deluxes (except for Blurr) for $16.99, which is the MSRP. Better yet, there is free shipping on orders above $19, meaning that two deluxes or one voyager is all you need to get some free shipping. Click on the picture below to be taken to the site if you are in need of some Titans Return goodness.

And some way to remove the crocodile feet.

He is, he was already found in the back of boxes. I have no clue why he wasnt relvealed yet sicne he is in the same wave as Hot Rod. The next reveals are in New York but that would make it super close to their release.
His head is one of the black silouettes in this pic:

Maybe not... what if it's a new character altogether? Or Gatoraider & Krok switching bodies and names? Krok was named more for his partner rather than his hinted vehicle mode after all.
