Bloody heck, Siege Hound looks amazing (very Earthy though!). This is angry Hound, isn't it? Before he went to Earth and got all chilled out and friendly. Gosh if Siege Prowl looks half as good I'm gonna need a whole buncha new pants.

It's alright, the colouring on the photoshopping doesnt help, but it doesnt seem the best fit. I can see it joining Onslaught/Demolisher in not being released or waiting a very long time.
Maybe a bit obvious but Ironfist seems the more obvious fit and if we're up to Micromasters this time then Euros could very well be part of the trilogy.

I kinda feel that CD Hotshot's overall design is kind of iconic to that iteration of Hotshot. If you were to ask me to update hotshots, I'd probably go with:
1) New mold deluxe Armada
2) new mold voyager Cybertron Defence
In that order. Because honestly, upsizing the design to deluxe is the only way to stand out from the original.
Like... I'd accept a regular Cyb Hotshot as a repaint or retool of someone like TR Chromedome or Hotrod.
This is making me remember what a fun little mold CD Hotshot is.

WHAT **&*^%*ING USE IS A LEADER WHEN YOU'VE MADE OPTIMUS AND MEGATRON VOYAGERS. *&^%##*)*& I have postulated on TFW that the Leader class gimmick could be a Voyager in Leader class armor. So you could get Voyager G1 Shockwave upgraded to Onyx Prime or Animated Long-arm. |

Oh please let it be that. I'm not sure how armour would work with Shockwave, but if that is the gimmick across all the leaders I'd be very happy.

That would be acceptable, but surely there are better candidates than Shockwave. You know like Thunderwing. Or Action Master Thundercracker.  |

Those reveals work with the code numbers - The codes are intriguing, especially Sideswipe being 10 and Prime 11. WFC-S1-3 = 3x Battlemasters? WFC-S4-6 = 3x Micromaster packs? WFC-S7-10 = 4x Deluxes? WFC-S11-12 = 2x Voyagers? WFC-S13 = Ultra Magnus? So that's S1-3 Firedrive, Blowpipe, Lionizer S4-6 Micro Masters Race Car Patrol, Battle Patrol, Airstrike Patrol S7-10 Deluxes Sideswipe, Deluxe S, Cog, Hound S11-12 Voyagers Optimus Prime and M S13-14 Leaders Ultra Magnus and Shockwave That other Deluxe better not be Starscream. That'll be an even bigger crime than Shockwave, but I can see it happening if they want to put out Thundercracker and Skywarp too. It's less noticeable than filling out the Voyagers with loads of repaints. I'm sure somewhere we heard the tetrajets would be Voyagers though. Unless I dreamed that. |

You know if the Megatron looks as good in robot mode as the Prime does and he turns into a really nice cybertronian tank then I think I'm in for the lot here. I really like a nice G1 looking bot mode and this first wave is really ringing my bell.

He might make a nice display with CW Megatron and TR Soundwave, but I've already got that in MP scale. It's correctly proportioned CHUGGERs we want.

You didn't, the Jets are Voyagers which is supported by the Amazon listings for a Starscream and Thundercracker,
There's also a Springer leaving just one Voyager slot to fill if rumoured numbers are to be believed.

Right! (phew, Phil to the rescue).
So, Deluxe S has to be the token Decepticon in that wave, otherwise we'd have seen it at SDCC.
M = Megatron, so S = ?
Can't be Soundwave surely. Wonder if it's an obscure one like Cog that becomes armour. Who would power up Megatron?

Six-Gun most likely.
Possibly Spinister.

Six-gun will be a Cog repaint though, and Hasbro avoid having the same mould twice in one wave. Spinister sounds interesting.

Yes, wave one.

Ah, probably not Six-Gun, unless it is an extensive retool like Scourge/Highbrow.

S= Soundwave, an Ironhide pretool? Not a bad call. He's got that little bit of extra height to not make it look too out of scale. |

Six-Gun is E4378 product code, up beside Thundercracker and Springer- so wave 3 or 4.
