I forgot Prowl was in that box set. I bought him solo from eBay.
that Ironhide was terrible. Lol.

Reports are coming in from the leakers that some of these "MV6" labeled listings are actually mislabeled SS86 figures. Namely Sunstreaker and Megatron.
Shockwave could possibly be one too, or simply Bumblebee movie Shockwave.
Rumble is uncertain, since there was already a Core class SS86 Rumble (blue), but he didn't appeared in the Bumblebee movie.
Same for Starscream since there already exists a Core class G1 Starscream. Unless this is a new Core class Bumblebee movie Seeker mold.

Oh, I guess we all imagined SS86 Ironhide then, since they already did ER Ironhide.
Personally, if SS86 gets a a regular retail earth mode Prowl and another shot a Sunstreaker, I'm all for it.
Very curious as to what a SS86 Megatron would be like. It would be extremely unusual or them to change his alt mode, as screen accuracy is the entire point of the SS line, but I can't imagine he would be a gun, either.
For Rumble, it will be SS86 Rumble (Red). They've decided to remain neutral in the great RIB/FIR wars and from now on will be releasing ONLY Rumbles, but in both color schemes.
I'd totally be good with a SS86 Megatron that turned into a cannon/Howitzer. It would also fit with the upgrade that Galvatron got to be a space cannon of sorts. Though a G1 Megs with tires on him might seem a tad odd.
Is there any precedent for Studio Series taking an existing mold from another line and just putting into it's own? I suppose Sunstreaker could be a first, but I would hope for a bit of a re-do.

And I you read everything I said, I said I forgot Prowl came in that hard to find set. I also did t realize he came with the Bluestreak head and now the Prowl head (whatever difference that is). I also said that Ironhide was terrible so I understood why he was redone.
That's why I hope the re-release Springer in SS86 without cr@pple-damage paint and release better versions of the Blitzing, Astrotrain and Shockwave too.
I would welcome something different than a tank, like the canon/ tow-behind Howitzer that TheSupernova mentioned, just as a change of pace. I would think you could make a decent one out of Megatron's robot bits.
If Megatron has to be a tank, I'd like to see them give the Quake / Titanium Megatron transformation scheme another try. It keeps the treads as unobtrusive as possible.
Closest thing I can think of right now is that the SS86 Arcee was a modified T30 Arcee.
I doubt that would fly. Even as a sci-fi gun, being a black/grey gun-shaped object is probably out.
I'll give that points for creativity (a lot of points, really), but I can't imagine a voyager class figure being able to wield another voyager class figure successfully.
Wonder if it would be a Complicated Voyager with accessories that, if not replicate (because he's not a gun), suggest/call back to the G1 stock/silencer bits.
One way around the G1 Megatron gun problem, is to have the figure look like Megatron, changing into a tank of some kind, call it a Cybertron tank if need be, but package him with an accessory that looks like his G1 Alt mode, two birds, one stone, so to speak, sure he won't Transform into his classic gun mode but then, would he actually need to, considering when he transformed in the movie, it was only for Starscream to wield and gun down the Shuttle's bridge crew!
I'm going to laugh when it's just Siege again.
