Allspark has Dinobots Unite Sludge. He looks kinda cool.
A toy that hasn't been officially revealed yet by Hasbro is claimed to be in the Kingdom toyline (if it is going beyond 3 waves), is Deluxe Waspinator (screenshots from one of the usual leakers, comparing it to the Japanese version of the Generations Waspinator toy from around 2015).
Maybe the one from ebay in that earlier news posting... some in-hand photos, comparing it to Blackout in robot mode.Quote:

Must say the older waspinator looks so good. These newer beastwars seem a lil cartoony rather than real life representations in terms of colour palette.
In the tradition of Optimus Prime trucks featuring other brands on the side (Pepsi (3 times), 7-11, Ghostbusters, BAPE, NGE... to be honest, I thought there were more), the next themed Optimus Prime toy could be Amazon branded.
According to this news post, the recently rumoured "Amazon Optimus" is not an Amazon exclusive Optimus (like some toys have "Target" in the product name because it is a Target exclusive), but could be an Optimus Prime with an Amazon branded trailer.

There has always been more to Transformers robots – but now fans can experience how these larger-than-life characters unite with other characters, teams and people who also have this special quality thanks to the Transformers Collaborative. There’s a lot more to Prime – a truckload more. Two worlds collide in this Transformers Amazon Prime Mash-Up Pack. A special delivery from Optimus Prime! The leader of the Autobots adopts a new mode and presents himself as the iconic Amazon Prime Truck. He believes that every sentient being (with a Prime Account) has a right to fast delivery. The figure can be transformed into a licensed Volvo Amazon Prime Truck in 37 steps and impresses with decor and details that are inspired by an Amazon Prime truck. It even includes 2 small Amazon Prime boxes that can be stored in the trailer. Ready to protect his shipments from all threats, Optimus Prime brings his ion blaster and a matrix of leadership that can be inserted into the character’s chest. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. The VOLVO trademarks (word and device), other related trademarks, if applicable, and the Volvo designs are licensed by the AB Volvo Group.
THE POWER OF TRANSFORMATION: There’s more in Prime – a whole truckload more
TRANSFORMERS-AMAZON PRIME MASH-UP: All sentient beings have a right to fast
delivery. Here you can be sure that Optimus Prime will arrive on time (unless you are a Decepticon)
INSPIRED BY AN AMAZON PRIME TRUCK: The Optimus Prime figure can be transformed into a licensed Volvo truck in 37 steps and impresses with a decor and details that are inspired by an Amazon Prime truck
THIS OPTIMUS PRIME TOY COMES WITH GREAT ACCESSORIES: Contains an ion blaster, a matrix of leadership that fits in the chest and 2 small Amazon Prime packages that can be stored in the trailer
PACKAGING IN THE AMAZON LOOK: The packaging is inspired by the Amazon Prime packages and shows the iconic black and blue Amazon Prime adhesive strips as details

1 - Sounds like an Earthrise remould - keep the basic architecture of Earthrise and give the vehicle a Volvo cab (with features like Ion blaster and chest Matrix)
2 - I hate the degradation of Prime's motto for capitalism - all sentient beings means all sentient beings - not just those with enough dollars for increased benefits. And fast delivery is not a right.
With Amazon's main market being America I would expect the Volvo to be a Volvo VNL, which is a long nose truck sold in America. The Volvo Globetrotter that we get here is a cab over engine design, but it's non-existent in America. I'm thinking he will be a remould of a movie Optimus because of that.Quote:

Amazon prime?

One rumoured Kingdom toy is Slammer (one of the junior partners to Metroplex), and this is said to be its product description (no source credited though)...
If this toy is real, it completes the set for the 2013 Metroplex toy, as it was originally released with Scamper, and Sixgun was released in Siege in 2019.Quote:
The addition of the Maximals and Predacons is really revolutionary. They engage in an epic battle with the Autobots and Decepticons that will change their fate forever. This Autobot Slammer figure can be separated into 8 weapons that other figures can equip (each sold separately, subject to availability). This G1 inspired Autobot Slammer figure can be transformed into a tank in 20 steps and comes with a blaster. The figure’s tank turret can be separated to form a larger blaster. The figure can be transformed into a tower compatible with the 2013 Metroplex figure (sold separately, subject to availability). This figure invites fans to expand their Deluxe Metroplex drone collection (WFC-S22 Autobot Six-Gun is sold separately, subject to availability). Contains a card with a gold disc that provides information about the possible fate of a key character. More Kingdom figures can be collected to reveal all 3 alternate fates of each character. (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.) Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
