Following the leaked listing, some images of the Transformers Velocitron Wave 2 Crasher are making the rounds on the SNS today. The redeco of Mirage as the ready to hit the racetrack as the GoBots Crasher. The rumored 2023 release can be see in the gallery below for more details until we get the official word.

I was recently saying this should happen haha. Repaint/tools of Starscream, Wreckgar, Arcee Prime, Mirage, Spinister, Sideswipe or Prowl, Beachcomber,  as Leader 1, Cy-Kill, Scooter, Crasher, Copturr, Turbo, and Smallfoot.

Yes for Wreck-Gar as Cy-Kill. No to the rest. 

For Cy-Kill, unless we get a new Animated Oil Slick mold for the domed head look in the front of the vehicle mode, Wreck-Gar is about the best we can hope for. It can be retooled enough to easily get the point across as several different third party designs already show.

Starscream would make for a horrible Leader 1. It would just be a bald, colorless Starscream. If they could pull off something like they did for Universe 2.0 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker though then that would work. However the Earthrise seeker mold would need a major overhaul. And honestly, that mold isn't all that good anyway. It has almost all the same issues the Classics mold had as they stuck too much to that design. 

Fitor from Starscream though would work.

Prime Arcee doesn't look anything like Scooter. At that point you might as well use Iguanus as it's just a motorcycle for the sake of a different style motorcycle...or well, scooter.

Same for Coptur from Spinster. There's nothing similar. It's just a helicopter for the sake of a helicopter. In both Scooter's and Coptur's cases though, there might never be any better options as they're both kind of unique in their simplicity and no other Transformers characters would really match easily.

Smallfoot should be the built in new head retool for RID 2015 Strongarm. They just need to make a new version of her first. Beachcomber wouldn't really work though. He's a dune buggy and Smallfoot is a pickup. If we get a new Gears then maybe since there's at least some basis for that already. 

Turbo should come from Dragstrip. The way the front of the car can turn to the sides on the shoulders of the robot mode looks just like Turbo. The dome-like cockpit area of Turbo can easily be replicated from the rounded cockpit of Dragstrip too. 

Crasher would also be done from Dragstrip. Just retool it to put the front of the car behind the head. The rest of the contours of the vehicle already work for Crasher like again, the rounded cockpit area. It makes more sense than Kingdom Mirage. Even Siege Mirage would've made more sense. Kingdom Mirage kinda sucks and it's only about half different from Siege Mirage. It's just that the half they reworked turned out worse than the original in execution. 

Slicks would work easily from Mirage though.

Cosmos can be turned into Pathfinder. Not ideal but there's a basis for it already. To better go for the original look though, maybe Origin's Bumblebee. The original design concept for Cosmos was based on that toy and could still work for Pathfinder if they ever wanted to go back to it.

Jeeper Creeper is another one like Scooter and Coptur and we may just have to settle for something that isn't even close like Siege Hound. Then again, it would just be Siege Hound with a different head as the colors aren't very different.

Tank maybe from Fasttrack. Tank is another that's so simple that it's absurd. Fasttrack though at least looks kind of similar if you squint and use some imagination on top of any retooling. Parts at least kind of go in the same place for the alt mode. You can also still plug in some guns into the bottom front of the vehicle mode by lifting up the feet.

Loco from Fasttrack? It would be easier to just say Astrotrain but another retool of Fasttrack could work. Both Loco and Tank transform the same way so it could work with that retooling.

Sky Jack can be made from Maverick. I doubt they can use that mold like that as it's officially licenced but it would be perfect. They're reissuing Maverick so all that it would need is a slightly darker, shinier paint job. An easy custom actually. Honestly, Maverick might work for Leader-1 too. At least it would be better than Earthrise Starscream. Still wouldn't look very accurate though.

Major Mo can use Sideswipe. It would just need a reshell to look like Prowl lol.

Spay-C from Galaxy Shuttle and/or Armada Jetfire. This all needs to happen. Commander class at least. I guess Spay-C could be a heavy retool of the Earthrise seeker though. But at that point, you're really only using the transformation joints, maybe arms and upper legs. Astrotrain could work too but I didn't want to waste an alt mode unless they retooled it enough to take the train mostly out. But then it would really be stuck between size classes if you take away the tender. 

Dumper and Fly-Trap from Bulkhead.

Scratch and Vanguard from Ironhide or Trailbreaker.

In general, I'd rather some of the more major characters from the Go-Bots be as accurate as possible and the lesser characters can just take whichever mold makes most sense. 

Sorry, I just love speculating things like this.

And sorry for double posting but I just thought of something else. 

You can get a really good Slicks just from using parts from Velocitron Crasher (if this is what we're getting) and the Wreckers Leadfoot. I think I'm going to do just that.

I like to have extra Weaponizers/Modulators/Fossilizers, three of each actually. But with the Amazon Wreckers, the Fossilizers come with Impactor and Leadfoot. I didn't know what I would do with extras of those two but now I have another idea for Leadfoot with the first being repainting/paint stripping one into Slapdash as he's also yellow and blue. Impactor is going to suck getting extras of though. Even with the retooled parts, it's the fourth Impactor colored Impactor that's been released using that mold. People are going to be sick of it and it might not be easy to offload two Impactors when the market is currently flooded with him.
