I am hoping we see an Arcee styled after Season 2 of RiD, with that Dodge Viper-esque alt mode.

also hoping for Armada Smokescreen to go with a hopeful Earthrise Megatron based on the same trilogy

[leokearon]

I really hope Smokescreen is not the G1 version, I don't want Earthrise to have more Earth-mode versions of siege toys

[Awesomepow]

I posted the Deluxe listings and UPCs earlier, but here's my actual opinion on them.

Alicon: Only one I will get, and because of that, I may even get two. Definetely a must have, looks like Earthrise is building up the Quintesson ranks. Additionally, I'll need the Cyberverse Sharkticons too.

Airwave: Another Modulator, meh. I won't get these because of my focus on G1 cartoon. Wonder if we will get an actual Micromaster rendition.

Arcee: Rumors say that this will be a new mold, which is good, but I don't need another Arcee.

Smokescreen: I still have to find Selects Smokescreen, and since I already have Siege Prowl and Siege Bluestreak, I'll stick with the Siege mold.

An Alicon? Nice. Hopefully, this may mean we'll see an actual Quintesson at some point.

Well there is that rumour of the Voyager price point Quint still

[AlexisSkrull]

D-Maximal_Primal: Nycc is in October, next month is Toy Fair. Just trying to help out.

Really excited for the Alicon.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Crap, I got my conventions messed up,

Thanks for the heads up!

[no-one]

Wow it took 30 years to release a G1 Arcee and now we're possibly getting a third. I'm really happy with the T30 mold, so impress me Earthrise

Smokescreen is troubling. I hope it's anything but another take on G1, mostly I hope it doesn't lead to another flood of Datsun bots.

Allicon sounds cool and interesting, I hope they scale well with my school of TR sharkticons. I'll have to look up the other one. Ah Airwave, another base bot, cool.

[Grahf_]

I'm fine with my TR Arcee but if there was to be another Generations figure and it wasn't a new mold then I'd go with Moonracer over Chromia. I hate the Chromia mold. I'm really hoping for a completely new mold though or at least something that's not so limited to a previous design that it ends up worse that the original design. I do think that the old T30 mold really isn't all that good though and definitely needs an update. She still looks good but that's about it. I just don't seem to enjoy it that much as a Transformer or a toy in general. Which is odd as I have five out of six...seven color variants. I just don't have TL or Platinum as I didn't like either of them more than the standard T30 release.

More Micromaster bases please. Do them all. Even do some in larger scales based on the size of the original bases.

I'd be even more excited if the Alicon was CW based. I just love combiners and troopbuilder combiner limbs sound awesome. They can go against my army of Junkion limbs.

For Smokescreen, maybe it's G2 Smokescreen and they'll also make an Energon Starscream from it. An updated Armada Smokescreen would be great too. That figure sucks but I kept him because he's unique. I even have the Universe Battle in a Box redeco who at least looks better due to the colors.

[Wireless_Phantom]

I'm glad we're finally getting a new Arcee (missed the last two myself), if that Smkoescreen is an earth mode datsun or an armada remake I'm in but not if it's a redeco of Hoist, and I'm all in on Airwave and Alicon.

[Sentinel_Primal]

I just realized that technically, if Hasbro reshells Chromia like they reshelled AOE Drift to be TLK Drift, they might be able to get Arcee out of it... I seriously hope we get an Arcee that turns into a sports car like her IDW version, but that's wishful thinking. It'll probably just look like Arcee's usual car mode

[Skritz]

I think Arcee might just be G1 Arcee done in Earthrise's style. given her altmode was already just some (by our standards of 2020) '80 retro-futuristic concept car. I also suspect Smokescreen could just be the 25th anniversary version getting re-released in Earthrise, Astrotrain style. Or it could be Armada Smokescreen as a Hoist retool (heh), meaning Trailbreaker could end up in Selects or as some store exclusive in typical Hasbro exclusivity douchery.

Wasn't Bluestreak the datsun bro who got released as a 35th Anniversary figure with Smokescreen as the Selects release?

That is correct. Bluestreak is the silver street car looking one that came in the 35th Anniversary packaging while Smokescreen is the red/white/blue race car looking one that can be picked up through Hasbro Pulse. Highly recommend all of them if you like the mold, each has their own strengths and uniqueness.

I keep mixing up Bluestreak and Smokescreen! The one with blue in the name is the silver one!

Except when his name has Silver in it or when they're both blue!

This would be sweet.

[Nemesis Primal]

Did some digging around on the TFW boards to see if anything else happened after these listings popped up, and their resident leaker indirectly confirmed that Arcee WILL be a new mold.

They also stated there would be a Deluxe of an Autobot who just received a new figure in 2019 and was likely to be used as a base for a different figure, meaning Smokescreen is looking more and more likely to be a disappointment/waste of a slot/another Siege character repeat.

While the leaker is supposedly legit, I always take things with a grain of salt until Hasbro or the leaker actually shows us anything. It could still prove to be a retool/share a transformation scheme with the Moonracer/Chromia mold and friends, but be different enough that people would say it is a new mold, like Highbrow and Scourge from Titans Return

[Dr. Caelus]

I'm going to be an optimist and say that it's G2 Smokescreen, with a leader class Dreadwing in the pipeline.

[Awesomepow]

Yeah, it's annoying, especially since it wasn't even a year ago when Selects Smokescreen was released.

[Gauntlet101010]

I didn't bother with the new Prowl moulds for Seige, and Universe kinda stinks, so I guess I may get new versions of them if they make them. If not I won't sweat it.

Alicon - Yessssssssss! I army build these guys and more is more! Totally down for official Alicons and Quintessons.

Arcee - What, again? I don't love the Thrilling 30 mould, but geez. Are we gonna get a new Kup, Hot Rod, and Blurr again? But if it's another take on G1 Arcee I still may get it to make Nightbird and Lifeline somewhat distinct.

[Skritz]

Btw I'm really hoping the Allicons are legit. Smokescreen...meh. If they do more Siege redo then it just mean less to hunt down this time and less to buy.

Exactly (it's really jus saving money, which is good I suppose, especially since I have a bit less this year for TFs)

[Rainmaker]

I really hope Smokescreen is an earth version of the siege mold, then there'll finally be an accurate CHUG mold for the G1 design since the universe mold sucks and cw isn't accurate.

[sol magnus]

Anybody got a list of confirmed figures? Seems like the number jumped up rather quickly. Did I see a Sunstreaker somewhere?

Everything officially confirmed is here.

Sunstreaker and anything else not in that list are still currently in the unconfirmed/rumor stage.

[Adimus Prime]

I first thought Alicon was the Optimus Prime Alligatacon from City of Steel.
