Let's see, Shadow Striker will be a commentator and Crasher will be in the pit crew because apparently our race themed line needs a bunch of non racers.

Kidding aside it's nice to have some Decepticons joint the race.
Wild speculation:
Crasher will be a retooled Wheeljack (closest thing we've had to her original Gobots alt mode, but watch it be Mirage again). Shadow Striker as a heavy Siege Chromia retool (their bot modes have very similar back and arm kibble).


Hot Rod needs to be the cartoon colors, bonus points if he comes with Daniel on a hoverboard.
The Leader slot is a mystery, wouldn't surprise me if it were Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime in the black and red colors of the original repaint. That would actually make me happy and it would make sense for a firetruck to be here, to say nothing of the Velocitron theme.

Some things I'd like to see in this line, be it wave 2 or a possible third wave if this goes the way of the Netflix line.
-Transmetal Tigatron (from the recent Ravage figure, not sure what price point that would fit)
-Sunstreaker (with proper matching yellow and red shoulders)
-Glyph or Tap-out (kinda crazy they haven't done these obvious and long requested repaints yet, but we got Roadranger and Puffer somehow)
-Nightracer (it's in her name and this line loves its female racers, maybe a repaint of Knock Out?)
