Official Images of Studio Series 86 Megatron and completed Devastator + TFOne Starscream

Sunstreaker and Wheeljack? If these are the versions from that five pack with the extra guns, then I won't feel bad missing that set. Just have to pray for a solo Hound then.

One Starscream looks pretty good.
Elita looks great.

I'd totally go for that Dramatic Capture set if I did not already own Thundercracker.

Devastator still does nothing for me.

Not interested in a Dead Wheeljack really.

But ion anyone knows where to getting replacement windshield sections for Siege Jackie I'm here.

Here's what I'm in for from this new leaked list:

-Cyclonus (this is still one of the best molds ever)
-Anniversary Megs (assuming it's a reformatting version)

A couple 'maybe's':
-Comics Soundwave (appearance will be the factor, because I'm guessing this is going to be the last use of the Netflix mold, and for me that will be annoying)
-The SS Titan (obviously depending on who it is and how it looks. But based on the cost alone, this is going to have to be impressive)

A "Slp mode" Optimus... Meaning "sleep" aka a grayed-out dead version? Seems like such a waste of a release of that mold... I get it, it'll be the 40th anniversary. But if this is the deco, what's the point?? Even if it's done well and looks good, who's going to spend $60 for that? What I have listed above looks like next to nothing, but I just added to my 'want' and 'maybe' lists. Including what we already knew of and the new listings for AotP, for me, I'll be spending quite a bit next year; a dead Prime doesn't even come close to making my 'maybe' list.
It's also unfortunate for people who thought this release would be the regular figure just without the trailer.

Fort Max isn't a giant in most comics, and it's probably going to be the IDW1 version who turns into a tank.

SS86 Megs is just perfect.

And that TF1 Screamers look solid.

The thing that leads me to doubt it's Marvel Fort Max is that Hasbro is ending the Core class range, so there would be no new small toys on the shelves to interact with Fort Max's battle station altmode as a playset. And with Fort being a Leader, the battle station would already be pretty small, making Core class the only range that could possibly interact with it, so with the end of Core class, there's not much playability in an undersized battle station with no small figures to play with it. In that sense, the IDW1 tank makes more sense for playability value since it wouldn't require the kind of playset interactivity that a battle station would.

I just really paused and looked; that Elita One actually looks really solid.

I'm also going to be very interested to see SS86 Skywarp and Thundercracker...
If Skywarp has a gray face instead of metallic silver, that alone may be enough for me to get it. Assuming the rest of the deco is on point as well. I'm all in for the new Dramatic Capture set and most likely will be keeping that Thundercracker as long as the main blue color is good.

Fort Max should be cool, but I have more than enough to buy so that's a pass for me.

I know fans gave been wanting a smaller "Comic Accurate" Fort Max and Scorponok for a while. Seeing as we already have the Animation accurate Titan figures, that is fine. But why is it being released as "Studio Series" when this is based on print media? Seems like the term has been watered down, and now has lost all meaning. They should just call the line "Generations" and drop all sub labeling (AoP, SS, whatever).

Which brings me to my next point. We are getting "SS Titan" which is great, but there's nothing from the live-action films that really would qualify as a Titan. I mean I don't think they would release RotB Unicron as such, but who knows. If we expand to games, I know fans have been wanting a WFC type Trypticon or Omega Supreme, but considering they just re-released Siege Omega for like the 3rd time, and TR (updated for AoP) Trypticon, I doubt it. T30 Metroplex was basically already FoC inspired, and fans would want a more OG accurate Metroplex if they were going that route.

I guess I could always fall back on my insane wish for Majin Zarak. After all he did appear in an animated film released theatrically in Japan, also it would be the first of a kind "Beast-Era" Titan to boot. But alas, it will probably be something more non-sensical that really isn't "studio series".

But remember, beginning wih Star Optimus Prime, Titans are going to be smaller and (theoretically) less expensive, now. So whatever it is (JTPrime speculates it might be ROTB Stratosphere) it may be large but not as gigantic as previous Titans.

You'll have to be more specific about what you're asking about for us to answer.
