I didn't know about the potential G2 redeco. I wasn't planning on picking up Earthrise Megs either, retool or not.
What I really want is an Earthrise Soundwave that can interact with all these cassette Micromasters. Siege Soundwave's alt mode is derpy.

I've heard some people talking about a retool of Earthrise Doubledealer as a Machine Wars-esque Soundwave, given that his chest apparently is compatible with the tapedeck Micromasters.
If so, I'd be fine with this, but please, not another tape-deck. I don't need more "boxformers".

I'm really happy with the "Bumblebee" retro version of Soundwave representing the tape deck. I didn't know cassettes work with Doubledealer. If I wasn't planning on getting him already, I definitely am now.

Okay, gotta say, I wasn't expecting G2 Sandstorm.

The G2 Megatron from the Earthrise mold is pretty good too, even if I'd take it more as a BW2 Megastorm. Regardless, it means I'll actually get the mold rather than passing on the G1 Megs version for being too similar to Siege.

What OM said. I was planning on passing on the Earthrise Megatron mold, and I'm still not completely sold on G2 Megatron, but I am considering it more repainted as something else. Also I am really loving G2 Sandstorm. That face on his jet mode sells it for me (and it has nothing to do with it being an original seeker character ). Looking at all the Kingdom leaks, it looks like the entire line has just about been leaked save for the Commander and Titan classes. I am really hoping this new "core" class is a rebranding of the Legends class. I don't have an issue with Micros but I miss the Legends class figures, some of which have been pretty awesome. I also haven't heard anything concerning a continuation of the $5 Battlemaster class. I'm going to miss the Targetmasters but these little guys have been a pain in the butt to get since no one locally carries them anymore.

Someone made a handy chart of the so far leaked entries. Not sure what Fossilizers are, but apparently that's in the listings. Interesting that Tigatron is a Voyager and Cheetor's a deluxe. Curious who the Commander and Titans will be is kinda up in the air, though apparently there were rumors of a Rodimus Prime in this one.

I think Fossilizers are basically the new Weaponizers, like Cog, Brunt, Ironworks and Airwave. (It'd be kinda neat if they were like all bones and stuff, so you have like a skeleton robot form.)
I understand Core Class is basically the new name for the Legend class guys. Not sure how Prime, Megs and Screamer fit in there.
Deluxes... Airrazor, Cheetor, Blackarachnia, Waspinator and Scorponok are expected. I'm assuming that Slammer and Warpath are retools of each other. (And assuming that they, along with Huffer and Pipes are like Cliffjumper. A Legend class guy, with accessories or a bazooka to make it a $20 toy.) Shadow Panther... I can probably pass on. Tracks I'll grab. Wheeljack, I have no idea what to expect there. Could Arcee be a redeco/retool of Blackarachnia, like the Botcon version was?
Voyagers... Cyclonus is a must have, of course... In fact, EVERYONE there is. I'm sold on everyone of the Voyagers. And I'm really curious if Starscream is G1 Screamer or BW2 Screamer? (Because if that Commander TBA is BB/Dreadwing... This would make a lot of sense.)
Leaders... BW Megatron. Goddammit. Of COURSE I'll get him. Galvatron? If he's better than the TR version, yes. (Oh God, what if it's BWII Galvatron? I mean, no chance in hell it is. But what if?) Prime's a skip, since I have him. And Magnus... Unless that Earth Mode is really impressive and is better than the Combiner Wars Magnus I have here, I can skip on him like I did Siege Mags.
Rumors I have heard for the Titan is Gigastorm. I'm skeptical on that one.
