Given recent trends, the Selects redeco actually has a strong chance of being Cybertron Defense Red Alert. I'd prefer it be Stalker or MW Soundwave, because as an owner of the original Cybertron Defense Red Alert I don't really care for a watered-down version
That, and the Decepticon ranks need the swelling more.
ZeroWolf, I don't think you're quite being fair to SIEGE Optimus and Starscream by calling the Earthrise versions "better" versions. Especially not Starscream. Earthrise Starscream isn't better per se, he's just an Earth Mode version. And in the case of the Seekers, that's a very strong distinction. There is quite a difference between a tetrajet and an F-15 Eagle, so I'm quite happy to double-dip there. If ER Starscream makes me regret getting anything, it's PotP Starscream. Now, I'll grant you that Optimus is a more uneven case since even leaving aside the trailer (which bumps him up a size class) the ER version has an actual removeable Matrix and the SIEGE version does not. But I think the SIEGE version does still succeed at looking unearthly thanks to the clear grille and the giant roof lights. Definitely looks less like an Earth vehicle than, say, Sideswipe.
Scorponok, Sky Lynx, Snapdragon, Airwave, Ironworks, Optimus, Starscream, the promise of Coneheads, Hoist (and the promise of Trailbreaker), Grapple (and the promise of Inferno), Wheeljack (and the promise of Sunstreaker), Doubledealer, Allicon... All of that has me excited for Earthrise.
