So, like, Eldedroids? (What little I know of those is that they're mass produced types and I think use the black redeco color scheme) Neat.

SS-32 Optimus Prime is seemingly getting a reissue

There's actually some skepticism about that, since if you open that pic at full size and look closely, both of those boxes are pretty beat up and banged up, making it less likely that they're new reissues and more probably just warehouse finds of preexisting old stock.

I've seen freshly stocked GI Joe classified figures on shelves at my Walmart that look like someone crushed the case. We'll have to wait and see, but another user pointed to their Walmart having the shelf tag for this, and according to the news article, the release supposedly features some retooling originating from the later SS-44 Optimus Prime figure.

This user posted a comparison with their sample, indicating Hasbro made some packaging changes to this version relative to the original 2018 release

Lemme guess. With all that extra stuff, he'll be sold as a Leader class.

We occasionally get mold reuses that come with added stuff at the same price point. On the other hand, the extra accessories might also make the price increase more palatable if this releases by the time those hit.

The thing people don't realize is that budgets are based on waves and size classes, not individual figures. So SS '86 Hot Rod can still be a Voyager with extra accessories if whoever the second Voyager in his wave is skimps out on the budget somehow.
