We already got 2 Orion Pax toys with original molds.

Not to mention the Titans Return Alpha Trion was its own mold before it was retooled into Broadside later.

Sorry. We're already getting Alpha Trion and Orion Pax as Scourge and Kup retools.

I'm aware of the thrilling 30 Orion we got which was quite small and titan master Trion as well as POP Orion which isn't that good as well as the Scourge/Trion and Kup/Orion. I would like to see a Legacy version where the characters are done right. Not retool, not a gimmick characterization like Alpha was done in POP as a lion and an ugly ship mode, but one where he's done right. The Scourge retool as Trion is good but I really wish they would've retooled the Alt mode more for him. The Kup retool as Orion is good too and I'm ok with it. Would just would've like to see him done a new original mold. Would love to see Dion made and would like to see them make figures of the primes including Nova, Sentinel, and the originals like Prima, alchemist etc

I have this weird feeling that the "Energon Monsters" we've seen listed will be recolored into Junkions.

This one clearly does NOT count.
It was the obvious Lio Convoy pretool and by some extent, Broadside's and Tidalwave's as well.
It was also the case with Optimus for OctOne, and Megatron for Blitzwing.

.....y'know, looking back over the listings with the addition of today's news, do we have too many Voyagers?
-Tarn
-Leo Prime
-Metalhawk
-Twincast
-Bludgeon
-Ramjet PR
-Junkion
-Nemesis Leo
-Dirge PR
Either we're getting a wave with 3 Voyagers all 1 to the case, or someone here isn't gonna be retail next year....right?

Hasbro please let me finish my tetrajet rainbow.

This list is great news. I'm also inclined to think "Robo WLD RDR" might actually be X-Brawn, either a heavy retool or a new mold. But, most likely the next G2 Stunticon.

I'm glad people are getting another shot at the coneheads, Thrust is sure to follow. I have and love the ER versions.

For me, the definite pickups will be the deluxified minibots, Brawn and Beachcomber. That leaves only Powerglide and Seaspray left. If he wasn't the SS86 version, I thought we might have gotten Outback from Brawn.

Hopefully in further leaks/reveals we get some updates of Armada figures. So far it's only Starscream and Megatron. We need a new Demolishor and Cyclonus. And Thrust from Jhiaxus is so easy, of course Hasbro won't do it.

Personally, I think we're way overdue for Nightbeat, Siren and Hosehead.

Looking at it, the tr alpha trion mold looks like it would be better suited for Lio Convoy.

The thing is, X-Brawn's Japanese name was Wild Ride, not Rider.

Close enough. We've had minor name adjustments before, it's not impossible. If it was G2 Wildrider, what's the "Robo" designation for? I'm inclined to think it's for "Robots in Disguise" like Scourge was. His designation, at Wal-Mart at least, was also his Japanese name, Black Convoy.

We also just got G2 Dragstrip/Shadowstrip though so I'd say it's more likely G2 Wildrider with him getting a name adjustment

Well if it was G2 Wildrider, there wouldn't be a name adjustment. I'm still curious as to what the "Robo" is for.

The fact that G2 Dragstrip's name was adjusted to Shadowstrip is why Sentinel said that.

...upon further reflection, this is absolutely too many figures, we either have 5 waves leaked or some of these are exclusives (I just threw these in here in the order they leaked, these probably won't be the actual wave breakdowns except for probably that first one): ...I just noticed I forgot the PR on Dirge, but y'all get the idea.

So hear me out.
If X-Brawn is getting made, then no matter which of his release names is used, he's a single letter off from another existing character, and both of those characters are also being updated. However, Legacy Wild Rider is coming out right now, whereas SS86 Brawn will be coming out next year possibly very close to our potential X-Brawn, so for the purposes of not confusing retailers and making sure both figures get stocked, it makes sense to use the Wildride name for at least the listing instead of trying to have "Brawn" and "X-Brawn" in store systems at the same time.
ON TOP OF THAT, our listings also include Shadow Striker and a mystery Prowl....which means they could be doing all 3 RiD Autobot car bros next year between Prowl possibly being his RiD incarnation, "ROBO WLD RDR" possibly being X-Brawn, and Shadow Striker actually being her Universe incarnation as a pretool for Side Burn. Do I actually want that? No, I would rather get Cyberverse/IDW Shadow Striker and Animated Prowl (although RiD Prowl certainly wouldn't be worst-case-scenario), but I feel like the possibility is worth mentioning.

It certainly could just be G2 Wild Rider, but if it is I question why it's possibly a retail release and why it's alternate name seems to just be "Robo Wild Rider" when his compatriots are getting names like Shadowstrip. If anything, I would think the new name for G2 Wild Rider would just be Brake-Neck, like how Diaclone Bluestreak has adopted the Silverstreak name.
