The two main size classes for Authentics appears to be giving us one wave per year, and the fifth wave gives us Alpha/large size Wheeljack and Beta/small size Arcee.
Both should be out this year, but I think we would only see the smaller size here, as we have had all the previous 4 waves here so far.

The new "Cybertron Battlers" toys revealed in January have been found in South America (they seem to be first for Authentics over there).
The re-release of the Authentics Titan Changers in new windowless packaging have been found in South America too.
The Authentics Bravo (small) Arcee has been found in South America, and some in-hand pics can be seen here of the toy in both modes.
The two face masks and Alpha sized Wheeljack have just been found at an American retailer.Quote:

I have found some of the ones not released here on Amazon, probably by private listings in America that filtered through to the Australian site... but they aren't mainline toys, so they aren't reliably released or widely released.Quote:

The Hasbro product number is really old... so this must have been planned for release about a year ago, or for the Movie.

Another two Authentics have been found in Asia, making it a bumper release of Authentics after several years of just a single Alpha size (big) and Bravo size (small) each year.
An Alpha sized Starscream (already a Titan Changer and Bravo sized versions) and a Bravo sized Optimus Primal (to go with the recently released Titan Changer Optimus Primal).
It's difficult to say if any of these will be coming here, as we don't get the Alpha size in Australia, and the nearest Woolies stores to me no longer stock the Bravo size either. Plus, the Titan Changers have only shown up at Aldi Stores, and I think all three times they released them, they were the same (first) five.
