I really want to pick up Legends Overlord but with the way the post office is right now I wouldn't see that figure until Kingdom is on wave 2o.supreme wrote:If sentiments like this prevailed we would never have TR SkyShadow, or Overlord for example.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

It's probably safe to assume the 2021 product line will go with the same set-up of fourteen Deluxes (not including exclusives), six Voyagers and three Leaders that 2019 and 2020 did, and if the Kingdom leaker is to be believed, so far we know of five Deluxes (Cheetor, Airazor, Warpath and at least two Fossilizers with the working names "Catbone" and "Wingsaur"), three Voyagers (Optimus Primal, Dinobot and Autobot Inferno), and potentially all of the Leaders (Predacon Megatron, Rodimus Prime and Galvatron). While I know that Rodimus size technically hasn't been confirmed by the leaker, I doubt he'll be anything other than Leader class. So what does that leave us with?
We know from the leaked poster that Blackarachnia, Scorponok, Rhinox and Tigatron will be in Kingdom. Blackarachnia and Tigatron are probably going to be Deluxes, Rhinox is most likely a Voyager, and Scorponok could really work as either in my opinion. If Scorponok is a Voyager that leaves one empty slot, and to be honest I'm expecting just another re-package of the Earthrise Optimus Prime without the trailer. I can't see Optimus Prime being limited to just the Core class. However if Scorponok is a Deluxe, that potentially leaves room for at least one Voyager Decepticon, so seeing as Galvatron is presumably the big bad of Kingdom's story, that new Cyclonus toy we saw a while back would fit well into the line (unless of course it's part of Studio Series).
I think Kingdom will stick to season 1 Beast Wars characters, I'm not expecting any Transmetals, Fuzors, toyline characters or anything from Beast Wars II or Neo. It would be awesome of course, but I'm not getting my hopes up. So as far as season 1 characters we've neither seen nor heard of from leaks yet, that leaves Tarantulas, Waspinator, Terrorsaur and Predacon Inferno. All four of those would work as Deluxes, but I could also see Waspinator and Predacon Inferno (if he is included) being put in the Core class alongside Rattrap. That would leave four empty slots for Deluxe, and I'm speculating they'll be Tracks, Needlenose, a third Fossilizer, and another version of Bumblebee, perhaps repainted as a more flat yellow instead of the golden yellow on the Netflix figure. Of course the Kingdom leaker has said more Deluxe Minibots are coming, so to make room for them I'm guessing either Tigatron or Tarantulus (as an extensive retooling of Blackarachnia) could be that year's Walgreens exclusive, or even an Amazon exclusive.

I would hope so. Tracks, Whirl, Roadbuster, and the Deluxe insecticons sans Chopshop are the only members of the 1985 line that haven't had a figure in the last 2 trilogies (all of 1984 and 1986 are done IIRC). And with that, Whirl and Roabuster came late in T30 designed by Warden just after Archer left.
