Cartoon accurate, innit. It's why Ratchet doesn't have a red stripe down his van mode too.

It's Studio Series. The whole point of the line is to be faithful to how they looked in the movie.

Now, that Magnus *looks* nice... but... it doesn't have a smaller inner robot. I know, I *KNOW* that it's screen accurate to the movie, and we never saw an inner robot in the movie or cartoons, but that was always one of the draws of Ultra Magnus, for me. Which is why I've never bothered picking up any of the "Ultra Magnus" toys that are just repainted white Primes with no trailer. The original gimmick was that he combined with his trailer, so that's what I wants. And, thankfully, that's not what I's getting here, which is good news for my wallet.
Nice looking toy though, all the same, and I'm happy that it exists for those that want it.

I think Prowl was 20. Swoop needs to fit in there as well.
Maybe Hound will be an SS86 release?

Funny how there's only been three Decepticons, one of whom is a repaint of the first, and the other is an import from Earthrise.

There's also Frenzy/Rumble, and Rumble/Frenzy, so that's 5 decepticons.
Megatron is impossible, so that's off the table. Cyclonus and Galvatron got their releases in Kingdom and Legacy.
What's left? Shockwave, Skywarp & Thundercracker, Triplechangers, Soundwave + Laserbeak and Ravage, Constructicons, and Insecticons
It's been a minute for Cyclonus, so a "more accurate" tweaked deco in Buzzworthy is plausible.
Hasbro could make good money on a proper Soundwave mold, and SS86 is the best place for it. Though that Netflix retool is fine with me for a character I don't give two shakes about, it's rare enough and desired enough that a BB SS86 repaint is certainly a good idea.
Astrotrain and Shockwave are similar to Cyclonus. Not sure what could be done for Blitzwing. He's like Galvatron.
A cartoon deco BB-SS86 twopack of Skywarp and Thundercracker would be fuggin'hilarious. I'll be honest, I want to see that happen just to watch the nukes go off.
Legacy Insecticons make me wish they were more toy based so they could then pop out a BB-SS86 cartoon deco/retool threepack.
That just leaves the Constructicons. And if they did the damn Dinobots entirely in leaders, I think they could do the Constructicons the same way.
