Now before we get to the list, we remind you that these are merely RUMORS and we have no hard confirmation for any of these figures yet, though a few were on this list from a few days ago. But it is exciting to speculate, and many of these figures do make sense given molds and clues we have been given up to this point. It is also interesting to note that some of these figures finish off the original Siege fanvote options, giving all 6 characters from that vote a toy.
Without further ado, the rumored figures include:
Deluxe Class:
- Shrapnel
- Bumblebee
- Runamuck
- Trailbreaker
- Sunstreaker
- Tracks
- Needlenose
Voyager Class
- Blaster
- Quintesson
- Skywarp
Others:
- Commander Class Sky Lynx
- Unknown Class Megatron
- Unknown Class Quintessa
- Titan Class Scorponok
- Exclusive Conehead 3-Pack
- Exclusive Deluxe Class Runabout
So what do you make of this list? Anything on here you really want to see, or anything you really didn't want to? Let us know what you think in the comments section below! and feel free to speculate away and tell us what you want and hope to see!

Like I said though, I would get a Bumblebee from this line and I'd be interested to see the Coneheads. I really only collect Studio Series and movie stuff but I do really like the fighter jet alt-modes, so we'll see!

It seems like an incomplete list that is also entirely believable. My dog could tell you that a new Seeker mold will get repainted and that Hoist will probably get redone as Trailbreaker.Starscream wrote:ScottyP wrote:I suppose you miss 100% of the layups you don't attempt.

...ok that's a stretch he doesn't know the difference between a Transformer and a raw potato but the point remains.

I would imagine the person who posted this takes regular leaks like any other normal human being as it is a necessary bodily function. As Gob would say: "Come on!"

Shrapnel.... eh, I’m perfectly fine with how the Legends Insecticons turned out and how they scale with current stuff, Shrapnel’s gunna have to blow me away and the promise of the other two Insecticons before I bite.
Tracks and Needlenose come as no surprise, since they were part of the fan vote whatever.
About time they did Blaster. No doubt a Soundwave retool, but it’s one I wouldn’t mind as long as he looks right and has his buddies to party with!
I was just thinking today about how Bumblebee could be a slight retool or Cliffjumper, what a coincidence!
Nice to see they’ll continue doing Seekers, but man I hope they don’t make Thundercracker as part of an exclusive box set...
Trailbreaker also comes as no surprise (uhh, hello, Hoist?), but Sunstreaker does. I had just bought Sideswipe in the hopes there’s be a Sunstreaker and it looks like my gamble may’ve payed off!

But these have to happen
. Sunstreaker from Wheeljack. Finally giving us the Lambros we need
. Deluxe Insecticons not just Shrapnel maybe Shattered Glass repaints down the line
. Tracks with either a Road Rage, Loudpedal or a Shattered Glass repaint from Selects
. Blaster and an Exclusive Twincast somehow
. Needlenose with Targetmasters that aren't just Firedrive and Blowpipe again like Spinister's are gonna be
And I can totally see them doing the Coneheads in an exclusive three set like the Rainmakers are.

Old TF fan … long time lurker. I got back into collecting some of these Siege Transformers and they're great.
I would love to get a Siege-style Thrust. That was a toy I wanted as a kid, but could never afford when he was available.
However, am I alone in hating the "conehead" styling? I've always felt those looked mis-transformed. I doubt I would bother.

It does make me wonder though, if we are to get Blaster and/or Megatron, what will they turn into? They still can't/won't do a gun Megatron, and we just got a G1 Tank Megatron that was close enough to an Earth mode that I don't know they can justify another one like they did Trailer OP. I also can't see them making Blaster a boombox when the Soundwave he would presumably be opposing turns into a Space brick dropship/lamppost.

It reads that way, but I checked through and found another set of previous leaks from his Twitter and those were on point. Also he has pics of Shatter Jet....have those been seen before? ...and what about Daytrader?
I think Megatron will get the Leader Treatment and possibly a Green Tank (notice how they've avoided that obvious repaint for years). I would totally buy another Megatron especially if it was a little better than Siege.
I'm happy to see BB on the list, hope it's true!

I'm curious to how different the insecticons are going to be from before.
There is also one other thing I have to question. These boxes make no mention of collectible map parts. Where they only coming with the bigger figures?

Those pictures on that account are digibashes, and listed as such. That account has also put out similar "leak" lists before, and they've been largely disproven.

The monsterbots and seekers And Datsun mold would disagree with you there skip.
The battlechargers will get the same treatment that other fanvotes have recently gotten. They’ll get their own mold.

I really don't see the point in a Skywarp being in every line so far. He was one of the last Tetrajets of the SIEGE line and because of exclusivity nonsense, one of the hardest to come by.
I get that Starscream will likely always be there and repaints, repaints, repaints etc BUT surely just package Earthrise Skywarp and Thundercracker as a two pack, immediately after him. Don't waste slots that could go to New characters, for the same seekers they released barely a year ago.

D-Max did a good job here of describing this stuff as unconfirmed rumor.

These are all different things and should be treated accordingly

If they get made they will likely be selects and/or amazon. TC and Skywarp will likely not get a standard release and skywarp is still instock at Amazon. He’s not that hard to get.
Sunstreaker if he gets made will probably come from Wheeljack but be an heavy retool only sharing biceps and thighs but the battlechargers will have their own mold.

I see, I missed a bit. Skywarp is hard to come by internationally. As HasTak have demonstrated time and again, if you a fan/consumer and don't live in the US or Japan, tough luck.
As an aside, it took sourcing SIEGE Skywarp for a friend to discover Amazon aren't a global company at all, but a franchised name, which is pretty bad. It makes an "Amazon exclusive" a meaningless slogan if every Amazon site, doesn't have access to that product. In the same way as exclusivity to US only retail outlets, should be null and void to countries they don't exist in. But that isn't the case, which is insane.
I'd like the Battlechargers to be 100% new mold, but HasTak have been very lazy with a lot of the generic vehicle based bots in WFC. Before we mention the treatment of some of the more unique characters such as the Powerdashers.

Yep, why amazon.uk can't liberate some of the skywarp and G2 swipe stock instead of a monthly email to say they still waiting on the supplier to provide the items is annoying

This says to me that sometimes there is due diligence, and sometimes there isn't. A list like this may never be disproved, and most of it will probably be confirmed, since the choices are obvious. I'm going to assume there is no due diligence done if it's not explicitly included in the text.
This is your site, not mine, you all can run it how you see fit. If this type of post has a new benefit because of the constant need for new content and high engagement in the forums, then it's a success. I understand this is a fansite and that rumors are part of the game. And I love speculation; I added my own list to others in this very thread, but we were all saying what might happen based on what we thought, and didn't imply any special knowledge or label as a leak.
I will say this, though: posting reports like the one from cookies legitimizes rumors at the cost of the trust and integrity that the site has developed with its fans. Maybe that's on me, and I should treat all rumors are equally suspect, but I come here because I want to separate what's actually happening from the absurd noise of the internet at large.
Posted by gothsaurus on November 14th, 2019 @ 11:53am CST
I'd say, too, that if it becomes painfully clear that someone is unreliable or a troll, that they should be flagged as someone unworthy of news... and it sound like this list poster may be on the cusp of such. Maybe the site admins can add him to a watch list or flag him for future evaluation.

Their transformations and proportions are about the same and looking how wheeljacks back is the rear of his car and how his spoiler becomes his wings it make sense that the engine block on Sunstreaker would go the same place on his back and car mode too.
Still wish we woulda gotten a Sunstreaker in titans return with a Titan master named Hunter.
I’m really curious about the inevitable Trailbreaker due to them focusing on cartoon accuracy and all and Hoist from the cartoon was designed after his toy where as Trailbreaker was given a lot of liberties in his design like most of the 1984 cast

Fellow Seibertronian Jelzerabbit sent us word of these pics and gave their analysis of the molds (re)used too:
In Demand Toys has the same images, plus Soundbarrier, the Hot Rod Patrol Trip-Up and Daddy-O aka Big Daddy, and finally shots of the Military Patrol Bombshock and Growl. The latter Patrol is quite interesting as they show how far the part sharing has come, as they use Topshot and Flak parts:
- Growl uses Flak's chest and 5mm peg, and Topshot's upper legs
- Bombshock uses Flak's legs, and Topshot's cannon
In other words, most of their grey parts are recycled. The magic of gang-molding
Let us know what you think and if you preordered them yet, they are available for ordering at practically every collectible online store right now.

I suppose I need to clarify what I'm saying here. I know the leak is probably fake/relying on obvious choices to attempt to have credibility, but I find it odd that the "leaker" didn't even think to include Snapdragon despite him actually being hinted at

That shouldn't mean Snapdragon isn't coming.
Anyone can guess what we will see next anyways. And since that's the case, here's what I think am sure we will see in earthrise (or the line after):
Inferno
Bumblebee
Trailbreaker
Thrust
Ramjet
Dirge
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Snapgradon
Sunstreaker
Scorponok
Quintesson
Allicon
From now on, you can all call me Nostradamos.

Well there is folding in the 5mm peg, which has FINALLY been done on the stock photo. The initial renders all had the peg out for robot mode.

Prime Airachnid actually transformed somewhat, though, despite being a terrible figure. Soundbarrier, unfortunately, looks to be the worst "shellformer" we've ever had. He literally just stands at attention, legs together, arms to his sides, lays face down, and has a ramp on his back. His transformation is folding the ramp in half and standing up "at ease." He'll probably be a fun accessory, as good looking shields are much more rare accessories in Transformers, and he's got a unique blast effect part too, but the titular "transformation" in his play pattern is utterly bland and uninspired.

At least Airachnid had an actual Transformation into an admittedly cool helicopter mode.
Titanium series Megatron is probably still the worst.
