The company officially announced Friday from the ACG HK 2021 event that the latest entries to the plastic model line will be Bludgeon and Banzaitron! For some this is the most ideal use of the Furai Model line: a Pretender and an Action Master. And no, they don't share any parts, the two martial arts masters will be entirely new sets of molds. Like many Furai Models the pair is designed by Akira Amemiya of Studio Trigger, but lack his trademark stylizations (See: Optimus Prime (Attack Mode), Starscream and Devastator). More as we learn it!
In other news, the SDCC 2021 Furai Model G1 Nemesis Prime exclusive is now available to order at Bluefin for the reasonable price of $40 even. He comes with all the same accessories as the Optimus Prime kit, stands 6" tall and has 40 points of articulation. Release is expected to be August 15, 2021 meaning you wont have to wait long to get the evil doppelganger in your collection.
Like what you see or tired of Transformers that don't transform (even though these two typically transform as is anyway)? Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums!

There's also Arcee and Blackarachnia in the works. I've seen prototype pictures somewhere...

It's on their Facebook page or something. There's also an Arcee in the work.
