A few guesses, besides a few gimmies. Tailgate confirms Windcharger on deck.
The Selects Combiner is probably going to be either a "deco variant" boxset like the Legacy Menasor set or a G2 redeco.
The Predacon Multipack might be interesting. Next year is the 30th Anniversary of Beast Wars, so maybe we'll get some multipacks of characters in their "Fox Kids" deco.
Not sure how I feel about the only name (besides exclusive stuff) we legit don't know is "Jalopy" for mainline.

I don't see anything about the Titan being SS86, just SS. I'd guess one of the big live-action movie bots. Stratosphere maybe. Dragonstorm could be great. Maybe a larger Demolishor? Or Devcon? I'm guessing Titan is too big for Transit or Infernocus. I'd suggest PS2 game Tidal Wave as an option, but that seems more like a Generations Selects release.
I'm excited to see AotP getting two Commanders. I want all the combiners, but there are so many other bots I'd love to see as Commanders. There are a few good SS Commander options too, but I would love to see the main Generations line get more Commanders in general.
That's a fair point, jumped the gun there. A Dragonstorm (especially if it's a multi-knight combiner, beyond the original two from the TLK toyline) would be amazing.
Windcharger was already listed in Studio Series for next year.
Retro Seaspray would have to be a new figure, maybe Wheelie's finally getting a deluxe.
My current thoughts are either Stratosphere, Movie Grimlock or a more affordable '86 Unicron. We don't know if this is going to be one of the new, cheaper Titans or if it's going to be like the older ones.
If this is carrying on with the smaller Titans, AoE Grimlock sounds feasible and marketable. I’d like to say Driller but that seems more like the size of the older Titans and doesn’t transform so less likely.
I meant in the modern ankle rocker era of Transformers that started with Siege, smarty pants.
Given the Anniversary of the 86 film…I lean HEAVILY on the Studio Series Titan being a Unicron. I feel like they could get away with an Infernecus at the Commander price point, if they were so inclined. Unicron would also compliment the “Unicron Soldier” AotP Leader listing as well.
Disregarding the HasLab, we also haven’t had a Unicron toy at retail in a decade. Since the LAST time we got him was with a movie anniversary, that seems like a given here.
We’ll see what happens with Seaspray, but I’m inclined to think Wheelie will be a new mold to fit in with “small deluxe” Minibot thing they got going on. Especially with his “wavemate” being an existing retool to Brawn that Hasbro was probably just finding a slot for. Seaspray is reportedly being “mated” with a new run of Cosmos, IIRC

I don’t see them doing Unicron because regardless of the difference in quality, it’d somewhat devalue the Haslab release and hurt the chances of future projects.
This but they put a tampograph of his face where the autobot symbol is on his chest.
Are they the "Unicron Soldiers"?
Clearly they're two of the Energon 4.
Also "Unicron soldiers" makes me wonder if the Titan could indeed be Unicron...

So giving Jalopy a google, it appears to be a fan-character that's based on a miscolored Jazz from issue #12 of the old Marvel comic (Jazz in Bluestreak's colors). Wonder if that's what they're doing? Seems like an odd choice, but I guess I'm not opposed to it. Seeing the name, I was hoping for maybe another Junkion.
Joyride has a fun deco. Hoping he get's his Powermaster.
I like the sound of the Artifact Pack. If it's similar to those "a repaint + A bunch of accessories" packs that they did before, count me in. I love those.

Accessories: grenade, removable helmet, alternate pointing hand, word bubble effect part for screaming DEATH.
