Yeah, you'll see all of those.

But it will probably be SS & SS.

This will be interesting. I cannot wait to buy one of these.

I know it's kind of stretching but I'm hoping for a Stunticon(Breakdown!) for the character after Bumble. However, I would think that it'd be smarter to release the more prominent characters early on. Maybe it could be Starscream. A fast sportscar suits the Air Commander. Using the 3 paint version scheme, the first could be Starscream, the second could be Skywarp, and the third could be Thundercracker. All three have great colour schemes for sports cars.

EDIT: You know Runabout & Runamuck would be fitting of a Lambo Alternity.

Then repaint to black and named it Wildrider. Also make it exclusive....
Hmmn... sound familiar....

I agree, it looked quite déjà vu-ish...

I kinda thought the same thing but I didn't want to say anything. I remember things that haven't happened yet quite a lot, figured this was just another one of those times.

BTW the Spoiler is on the boot/trunk, not the roof

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. Maybe they just got lazy and decided to use the same image because it resembles what they're planning.
If they do something traditional I'm sure it will be Sideswipe/Sunstreaker, but I wouldn't mind a Hot Rod either.

I disagree - they aren't alternating. OP, Meg, BB, CJ. Ok so far each NEW MOLD is an alternation but it's too early to tell. Go and work out the average of Deceps:Autobots in Bin/Alts and then count how many of those Deceps were new molds. I don't expect this line to differ

This is the eact same image that I mistakenly report why back. The coming soon really should mention BB and CJ.

I'm hopeful for a more even split of Cybertron/Destron characters! I'm just going by the early pattern of molds:
1) Cybertron - Convoy
2) Destron - Megatron
3) Cybertron - Bumble/Cliff
Right now, I think it makes sense for another Destron to be the next character because with the Bumble/Cliff mold, you aren't just getting repaints, you're getting a retooling with Cliff's head sculpt. It's 2 for 1 moreso than Convoy and Megatron's straight up repaints.
Also, with the concept of the Auto-Avatar, each mold is apparently going for a pattern of 1 "original" plus 2 repaints(I think the third for the Bumble mold could be Hubcap but he's also yellow...I'd love to see Bugbite's colour scheme on the mold!) to represent 3 iterations of a character or multiple similar characters as the Bumble mold may be implying. I think this may change the repaint plan in this line more than BT/Alts because with the first 3 molds, we are already seeing up to 9 paint schemes. That's 6 repaints already. I think that if we do see more than 3 repaints per mold, I hope we see more retoolings. I don't mind that at all as long as the base mold suits the character.

I think so too, since Bumblebee isn't even on the site yet. Reused graphics.

Actually, looking up, that WAS Convotron's first guess...
