Includes: Voyager Class Decepticon Red Wing figure, 2 weapon accessories, and instructions.
The page has been since updated with the correct contents; "Generations Selects Combat Megatron figure".
So why is this a big deal and who even is Red Wing anyway? Well for starters he was supposed to be an orange Seeker as the original incarnation of Hotlink in a collaboration between BotCon and Japan's e-Hobby which was going to contribute a new Sunstorm figure, both using the Classics Seeker mold. That plan would fall through and the name Hotlink would be given to the purple Rainmaker figure that same year. However, a cameo for the unnamed orange bot was planned for the BotCon 2013 comic in homage to their original plan, but after printing the character turned out red! And thus, Red Wing was born, though he wouldn't receive a name until fans spotted him in the comic and wanted to know who he was.
And it didn't end there. He would surface multiple times over the years, including a Japanese Kre-O comic and a character in the Transformers Legends game. Despite a strong fan demand a figure has remained elusive all these years. Could Red Wing finally be getting his first figure, likely a repaint of Siege Voyager Starscream? Time will tell. For now, let us know what you think in the Energon Pub forums below!

The art the article used is official art posted likely on the TFCC twitter for the character years ago, it is not related to the current rumored figure aside from being the same character. The actual figure will probably be a redeco of Siege Starscream.

Happy for those that wanted him. if they do more i hope they keep Nacelle a mix between standard seeker and the thrust/conehead.

Thinking about this, I do hope they can use Pulse as an avenue to squeeze in a few new original characters. I'm sure a lot of people are getting their fill of prime and bee.

Will there be more entries?
The only entry they discussed was Megatron. Nothing else was discussed regarding the line from all I can tell following the event. I too think this is a super cool line and I look forward to seeing more from it.
Hey o supreme, I forgot we now have a rumor of voyager red wing in this line.
No worries...so would this likely be a red repaint of the Siege Voyager Starscream? It's an interesting name, considering the Marvel character of the same name (Falcon's actual bird companion reimagined as a drone in the MCU)I still think he should have had an actual bird...

Yeah, thats what it would be if it were truly happening. And I too would have liked him ot have a real bird, but i can see what they are going for.

Technically it's a trademark-friendly "Decepticon Red Wing".

Now the wait is on to see how much longer Ricochet and Red Swoop are going to be. And if the Siege wave 2 deluxes from HTS are really going to be shipped April 1st.
