I think you are spot on.

Seaspray (revealed), Beachcomber, Brawn, Brawn repaint
Huffer (revealed), Pipes, Powerglide, Cosmos
Looks like we'll be having a dual of the minibots coming up!
I'm OK with this

I'm using Firetrap for Brawn and he works really well.
I unscrewed the snowplow, and it works even better.

Wheelie being the top right

Wheelie was my second guess behind Windcharger. Which would be fine by me since WC already has a nice classic incarnation.

I hope the top right is Wheelie instead of WC since Hasbro has already taken care of him. (He is very nice btw )
Is PE still planning on releasing their take on Wheelie? It was teased with the Laserbeak mold but I dont remember seeing anything else about it.

I'm hoping they do actually. But like you also, I haven't heard anything since the original news about it. Since then, it's been hush hush. I still think it's coming since the lineart looked like a finished prototype. But what the hell do I know.
Damn you and your "Notcon" exclusive.

I think "MakeToy" is FansProject side/sister company. I believe that they did this because MakeToy will probably be really close to IP infringement and should something go wrong, it's still a separate entity from FansProject.
I may be passing on MakeToy's stuff since so far I don't need Seaspray or Powerglide.

I don't think so, they where just displayed together on a TFSource table showcasing 3rd party products, if you look at the pics you can even see iGear's MP Ramjet boxes next to FP's Insecticons, and the BTS stuff like the matrix pack.

"I got a Rager"
or
"I got a Spray"
But these are both too small for the scale of my collection. I hope the next few are appropriate at their size.

You and me both buddy! I loved the minibots, growing up in a home of modest means these were some of the few TF's I could get a hold of without the benefit of a special occasion like Christmas or a Bday. Glad they are getting so much attention.

A lot of my childhood G1 figures were minibots too for the same reason, hehe.
The reason why it is out of scale for me is because I am trying to keep a semi-realistic theme in my collection where all vehicle modes are in scale with each other (seperately for each faction). Can't have a tiny hovercraft next to a giant sports car. Definitely great looking figures though, and I am jealous of those who are able to get them
And when i said I hope the next few are appropriate for their size, I meant that their alt modes make sense with the rest of my classics.

While I have no issues with Minibots of varying sizes I do prefer Bumblebee to be my second smallest (at least joint second). But I do really want a complete team of Minibots, so I hope these are amazing.

Lookin' forward to Wheelie and Cosmos too! Oh, and Beachcomber! Honestly, all of them including a new inscale-with BB and CJ to go along with the new line.

That is the whole reason I bought firetrap. He looks more like the perfect substitute 'Classics' Brawn than the actual Delxue class Brawn figure they came out with. However, displaying Brawn, Firetrap and Breacher side-by-side makes for a pretty darn intimidating looking group of 'Bots but yes, Firetrap does make the perfect 'Brawn' figure.

Agree 100%. Thank god I'm not the only one that thinks it doesn't look right.

He was my favorite whiney character. Even better than "Glum" from the Hannah Barbera anime Gulliver's Travel.

Could the one that you indicate as Pipes be Gears?
