So… Sydney Oz Comic Con gets to reveal EarthSpark toys & packaging.
Then shortly after, HasLab Deathsaurus & Holiday Prime gets announced. Smashing.

Cheers, I think now that beast wars is becoming more mainstream, we can start seeing reinventions of it and the characters. As long as its not idw1 then I am good
TF Hot Rod
Nightbird would be dope, especially for that reason.
For me I'd say off the top of my head:
Ironhide (movie/TFP design inspired – truck alt mode, arm cannons)
Jazz (the guy needs to be in a new cartoon again and we know from the flashbacks he exists in-universe)
Barricade
Lugnut
Blitzwing
Hot Rod
Sideswipe
Ultra Magnus
Trailbreaker would be dope cause of his force field abilities
Brawl
Maybe, both cause of ROTB and also since Hasbro is using them more now since Kingdom.
That would be a awesome introduction for the BW cast and mainly Primal a good way to introduce him.
Keythark
That's a really great list of characters hope to see some of these guys! And that would be a great way to introduce the maximals!
Strafe28066
I get the feeling we are going to be seeing more obscure characters such as Hardtop, here's my hopes for appearances:
Lugnut
Blitzwing
Override
Hot Rod or Rodimus
Demolishor (armada inspired)
Blackout
Barricade
Bulkhead
Nightbird (could honestly see her being a villain made by Mandroid to combat Cybertronians)
I also am going to make somewhat of a ballsy prediction – Maximals and Predacons will be introduced in season 2 (to help build their presence in the franchise alongside ROTB) but they will be born on Earth like the terrans.
My theory here is that somehow Optimus touches the stone that the kids touch and it creates Primal in Optimus' image alongside more beast formers
Keythark
I know this is off topic, but what characters would you guys like to see in ES? I would like to see hot rod, bulkhead, knockout, and strongarm to name a few

Really excited for that Deluxe Megatron, here's hoping it gets a good release here in the UK
Chaos Muffin
Dang, what's giant Bee's 3rd mode , the Ark?
JJJ
Griffin was the one who had the packaging in hand, and he says it has Shockwave written on it.
Not entirely surprising – this first wave of Earthspark deluxes shares quite a bit with the first wave of Cyberverse deluxes (and not just the damned build-a-figure thing).
TF Hot Rod
I feel like that’s who it is. Cause idk seems odd if it’s Shockwave that they haven’t shown him off yet if he’s in the next wave.
Skycutter
or it soundwave instead of shockwave(and kinda hoping it is)
JJJ
Nightshade. Another Terran from later in the show. We also know that the other two are Shockwave and Grimlock.

Interesting Lineup

Known BAF Deluxes:
Early 2023
1. Bumblebee
2. Megatron
3. Terran Twitch
4. Optimus Prime
5. ??? Includes Swindles Arm, RIP Swindle
Sometime 2023
6. ???
7. ??? Name starts with "N"
Known Charaters that don't have a Deluxe: Terran #2, Soundwave, Wheeljack, Elita-1; none start with the letter "N".

Deluxe Megatron looks great. Wish the hands were hidden a bit better and the rotors could rotate but otherwise he's pretty solid, one of the ones I'm buying.
Spinodactyl
The Deluxes look decent, might get Bee only though since he is my favourite out of these current 3 so far. Also Twitch looks kind of creepy.
Hope a KO company upscales Megatron, he looks awesome but he is too small. I think BMB would do a great job at upscaling him and possibly adding some diecast to him.
Omegaclaw
The fusion cannon storage for deluxe Megs is an amazing idea

I like how these new Warrior class figures look to be more on the tier of RiD15 Warriors than Cyberverse Warriors. Simple, yes, but still a viable option for a collection. I own a few RiD15 Warriors, and they really weren't that bad
Dann86
Its a shame megs is a tilt rotor but the toy cant do that
captain N
I Hope Arcee is in wave 2.
