Mr. Chaos has come through again with store listings for the following Transformers Generations Legends figures:
- Ravage
- Rumble
- Wheelie
Whether Soundwave’s minions are tapes this time around remains to be seen, so stay tuned!

consider for a moment how badly decepticons have been getting shafted for leader class figures in recent years though?
No Leader Cons in Dark of the Moon
No leader Cons in Age of Extinction
No Leader/titan cons in Generations Thrilling 30
so yeah, im quite alright with 5 Leader class combiner wars decepticons. especially since 4 of those 5 are retools/redecoes
another thing to consider is how horribly outnumbered Decepticon Combiners are going to bee in the near future
Devastator and Menasor, maybe Bruticus
vs
Superion, Defensor, Victorion, Ultra Prime, and maybe Computron and the possibility of yet another batch of 84 combiner bots
3 vs 6 not exactly fair

That's pretty much what I was thinking. We've already had Decepticon Seekers from the usually larger Jetfire. A Shockwave from Leader Megatron is also possible.
We do have CW's Galvatronus, but that could be considered as a version of the Deceptigod.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get Leader-class versions of Galvatron and Rodimus Prime, next year. It will be the anniversary of the original Transformers movie (as well as Beast Wars), after all. There does seem to be some G1 movie-related thinking involved in some of the latest figures we've been getting – Devastator, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Springer, King Starscream and apparently, Wheelie. Perhaps we could get some more Generations Dinobots and Quintessons/Sharkticons, too.

So far the trend has always been that the Deluxe Wave goes with a Voyager released at the same time.
Wave 1: Ultra Prime/Superion
Wave 2: Menasor/Superion
Wave 3: Defensor
Wave 4: Maximus
Etc…
The Autobot Cars are coming with Maximus and a revived Motormaster. So it makes sense they'd pair with Maximus and Rodimus.
Now, the next wave looks after that looks to be Bruticus. So I'm guessing the Voyager wave would be Onslaught and either Hotspot or Cyclonus/Silverbolt (even possibly the Scattorshot we saw listed)
So then if there's another wave of Autobot Cars coming in the Deluxe class, they'll need an Autobot Voyager to go with. And it'd have to be a *new* one. So that could be Blaster, who then gets repainted to Soundwave.
That would leave Soundwave as somebody like CW Prime and Cyclonus who don't have their own "official" limbs in the toyline. But he would get paired with some Legends figures like we're seeing in the Maximus wave (both Blackjack and Rodimus are shipping in the Legends Wave, and Cyclonus has Viper).

Legends Ravage Rumble and Wheelie cool. It would be great if this Wheelie looked like G1.
Slingshot
More Wheelie???
AWESOME!!!
unicronic
I would be surprised is Soundwave was a combiner.
If there is a 2nd wave of Autobot limbs like Wheeljack etc it could be to go with Optimus Maximus. It seems like the limbs coming with Maximus are actually intended for CW Prime.
T-Hybrid
All of the cassette bots have been Legends scale though. So that *could* be what's happening but it'd mean they're stepping down a peg and making them Deluxe Torso + Legends Limbs.
Autovolt 127
That idea is just too insane.
I don't know what happened to Brawn. Hopefully someone asks this at BotCon this year.
And Hasbro said Decepticons don't sell well.
T-Hybrid
I'm still saying CW Voyager Soundwave/Blaster with the ability to hold a Legends class figure in their chest in the combined form.
Based on what we've been seeing, Bruticus is the wave after Maximus, then Computron. Then we start seeing all of the Autobot Cassette legends and Trailbreaker/Wheeljack/Smokescreen. Then we see the Decepticon Cassette legends.
Which likely means:
Wave 1: Superion
Wave 2: Menasor
Wave 3: Defensor
Wave 4: Maximus
Wave 5: Bruticus
Wave 6: Computron?
Wave 7: CW Voyager Blaster (w/ Wheeljack/Trailbreak/Smokescreen/First Aid)
Wave 8: CW Voyager Soundwave -> Soundblaster?
*OR* Soundwave and Blaster come out in the same Voyager Wave. Blaster gets the limbs, and then the next few waves are cassettes for the two of them.

and a leader class toy would have the space to do a gimmick with Legends correctly
soundwaverulls
This is what I'm hoping. I'd really like his minions to actually be able to fit in his chest, and that only has a chance if he's a Leader. Although, even then it seems unlikely, unless they're decreasing the size of Legends.
Soundwave does have an obvious Autobot retool in Blaster. Rewind (or was it Eject) and Stripes (or whoever that dude who's only previously been a Ravage repaint was) have already been listed.
beardy
Definitely.
I saw a custom wheelie from that mold recently and it looked absolutely brilliant. Almost spot on.
Murasame
Hopefully he's not a Leader. Leader is OK for Ultra Magnus, but everyone else is too big and I'm passing on them. Jetfire was also OK as a Leader.
unicronic
Yes we do although only 1 original mold was used to create those Decepticon leaders.
payres
Orange Legends Bumblebee surely?
Afterburner
I don't think they would make yet another Decepticon Leader. There are surely more Autobots on the way at some point. We will have had 5 Decepticon Leader toys, that is by far a record for a single line.
unicronic
As the figures and comics are dovetailed right now Soundwave hasn't been featured or appeared since Combiner Wars began.
If they do Soundwave it will be a strong sign that a Galvatron is close behind as he is now Galvatron's advisor.
Ra88
Ohhh. Hadn't considered that. Could actually work. With a retooled/entirely new cab at least.
Goldimus Prime
I'm not advocating this idea: but what if the Ultra Magnus repaint/retool turns out to be Soundwave. A car carrier to transport legends class vehicles; can carry a little dude in his chest…
Purple Heart
I'm all for this, that would work wondefully and Soundwave could finally get the updated figure he deserves.
