Hmm...
And on closer look, it looks to be a yellow hand on an orange forearm, with some sort of red wing/kibble at some point.

I haven't been able to watch the stream yet, but I assume Toy Accurate Metalhawk doesn't mean full Pretender, right?
Straight redeco.
We're finally getting a G1 Scrounge. He'll feature Special Arm detaching ability and a Smelting Pool playset.
But both Xaaron and Scrounge have yellow arms, not orange.
I'm guessing it's another Leader class mold. Trying to think of any recent leader classes that could possibly have this sort of deco and had notable appearances in the comics.

Blaster would make the most sense given the comic version has history with both comic Grimlock and Straxus; plus they could give him the toy head. Also ti would fit with the theme of unconventional Marvel leaders. (Shockwave, Straxus, Grimlock all lead their various factions at one point in time, as did Blaster)
But that fist is definitely the wrong color for that.

The only way I'd want another Blaster is if he transformed into his original comic alt-mode.
Sentinel Prime is my new guess:
What's up with the comic panel choices on the back of the box?
Those are sure some iconic moments that let people unfamiliar with the character know how cool he is!
Of the reveals this time, honestly, I'm not impresed, or rather out of everything for pre-order, I only ordered two figures:
Stealjaw & Bumblebee, Springer is a pass, I compared him to the siege figure and frankly there wasn't much difference outside of the paint job to warnet buying him as he only got some minor retooling on the shoulders and some extra weaponary from what the pictures show, not caring for the SS Gamer figure reveal and I'm not getting the BB Skywarp either! Straxus I would preorder but Indemand toys didn't have him up for preorder, so I'll have to wait, so frankly, I was far from impressed with what was revealed but then its getting to the point where most major characters had modern updates with only a handful not done or waiting good updates, for example Thunderwing, he needs a update, in the leader class scale, at least!
Edit:
I only just noticed that Straxus was a Hasbro pulse exclusive, explaining why, I couldn't pre-order him from In Demand toys!

There could be some overlap there, with the hand being Xaaron's and the red bit being a piece of kibble from Flame.
Sentinel Prime is my new guess:
Ah! That's the first thing I've heard that seems likely. Probably a Rodimus retool, I would guess, unless it would be a reuse of one of the upcoming 13 Primes figures.
Finally, a decent new version of G1 Springer. I've waited so long for this.

Those are Studio Series, not Legacy
Straxus is Legacy, I believe. I've included the others as they're relevant (SS86 and Legacy often share molds). I've also uploaded images of both the toys and the boxes for the SS figs at the relevant thread.
