Odd. The very popular, fan favorite, beloved and cherished Big Good of the franchise is highly represented in the toyline? That makes no sense. (If it wasn't clear I was being sarcastic)

The only problem with that idea is that with Slamdance, Grand Slam (the red tank) forms the upper body and Raindance (the blue jet) forms the lower body. Using the same mold as Skytread/Flywheels, Grand Slam will now form the red lower body and Raindance will now form the blue upper body of Slamdance. While it still works like this, it also still takes away from the appearance of the G1 Character. Not to mention that they both lose their third transformation, which is forming cassettes that store inside Blaster's chest.

Any reason you guys aren't thinking that the "Firestormer Pack" might be a Sideswipe figure with Slamdance done in the style of WFC "Micromasters" Ravage and Laserbeak?

Well, I imagine it’ll be a mod of the existing SS voyager figure with a trailer/jet pack, so not the same size or complexity as the ROTF leader. It certainly won’t have the same paint apps as the Movie the Best figures, but it’ll hopefully come with Some accessories that neither of those have.

Another one? We are already getting a modified Voyager Prime that seems to combine with the upcoming Jetfire figure.
Two Voyager Primes with different "flight packs" seems excessive.
I could see a trailer taking up the extra Leader cost. But that would just be disappointing.
A thought comes to mind however... What if Hasbro decided to bring Takara's "upscaled" Evasion mode Prime into the Studio Series?

What if the trailer instead or also (yeah right) formed the big ring-shaped armory? We've never had an official toy of that. Also, a voyager DOTM Optimus would be further distinguished by the chestplate. And hopefully he'd include Optimus' BFG from DOTM. Or maybe the shield or the axe.
Also, that "Legendary" Optimus figure wouldn't exactly be a DOTM Optimus now would it?
You are of course correct. DOTM != AOE.

Aside from them being possibly exclusives, thus potentially disqualifying them from new molds, it's the right most number in the table, which is the price more than likely:
Voyager SS: 349
Deluxe SS: 249
Leader SS: 549
Deluxe WFC: 169
Voyager WFC: 269
Leader WFC: 469
Greenlight WFC: 249
Firestomer WFC: 499
Skywarp WFC: 499
Greenlight fits with the "Deluxe + extra", but the Firestormer and Skywarp packs are more than Leader. The contents has to be quite substantial to justify the price, and Slamdance as a pair of cassettes wouldn't really cut it.
