Medix Confirmed as Walgreens Exclusive and 2023 Selects Toys will Include Antagony and Windsweeper

I'll be waiting for more reveals.

Not with any kind of evidence or anything, but what if the Headmaster is Minerva again? I mean, they made her. She was a Headmaster, and she's the only repaintable deluxe that was a "G1 Headmaster."

I'm selling myself as I type.

A new Windsweeper?! That'll be awesome. Not sure if it'll be a new mold or a redeco/retool, but it'd be nice to have something that skews closer to his original look. I have the TFSS from a while back, and while I love that figure (I love the CW jet molds in general) a modern update would be appreciated, much like Crankcase's new figure. Hopefully this means Ruckus will be updated too.

As for the Headmaster - also glad they're still being made as well. It'll probably not have a removable head like Minerva's legacy figure, but a proper modern update for the ones that still don't even have a figure beyond their original ones would be appreciated.

I never cared for the headmasters so looks like a lot of passes for me.

I'm betting Windsweeper will be from the Needlenose mold and doubtful it will have working "trigger" action considering Crankcase didn't. As for Ruckus... I'd say that's a strong possibility since we're getting a Deluxe Beachcomber this year and transformation and mold are basically the same. Of course it'll probably be an Amazon or Target Exclusive and also won't have "trigger" action either. And if we get Ruckus, let's hope Hasbro has plans to eventually give us the Triggerbots: Dogfight, Backstreet, and Override.

I am definitely not betting on it having trigger action, and personally I'm fine without it. (No hate towards the old toys I just think it'd have been unnecessary for the modern figure.)
I do hope we get the Triggerbots soon as well! They're likewise in dire need of a modern figure.

Diaclone Topspin would be PERFECT.

Diaclone Topspin would be great.

I would gladly get Medix, he looked neat.

Windsweeper will be a happy late G1 addition.

Excited for Antagony, now we need a Cheetor to use as Cataclysm.

Gen 1 headmaster? Nightbeat? please give us an updated G1 Nightbeat already! Wishful hoping on my part.

What if it's just Nightbeat as a redeco of Minerva hahaha

A R63 of Nightbeat...
That would be some kind of poetic justice!

Not bad for reuse of Crankcase and I'm tempted to get. That said I'm slightly unnerved they made him before First Aid. lol

I'm guessing he'll be able to take part in forming Defensor? I realize this is Rescue Bots release but Medix was a backup Protectobot.

The Skids/Burn Out/Crankcase/Crosscut/Medix mold isn't built for combining.
