For some reason distant past makes me think of Orion Pax. They could reuse the Kup mold like they did with the Ehobby G1 reissue. He'd fit in great with Botcon Alpha Trion and TFCC Dion.

3 are getting their first updates ever. I'm thinking
Skids
Hoist (If they're not doing a Trailbreaker they must have access to the mold)


These guys instantly come to mind but there are others of course...
