I think Lego will have missed an opportunity with Transformers fans when they don't make more cassettes for Soundwave.

How good would it be to have Soundwave surrounded by 6 of his cassettes

It would really be a nice opportunity to get some small sets out there as well, but I feel much more confident in replicating lego's casseticon strategy than replicating full-size transformers.

We have official Ravage and Laserbeak, which gets us Buzzsaw as well via a color swap (and Glit, but he's obscure.)

Once I get soundwave I'll personally be working on a humanoid template and a bat template to get Ratbat, Rumble, and Frenzy. From there I might start doing the more obscure ones, but at the very least I want to be able to have what I view as his main minions (Laserbeak, Ravage, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy)

And the total price would be lower? GWP would be something.

A GWP would be nice, though unfortunately it seems unlikely.

I wonder if there is any chance we might one day get a Devastator? LOL That is a long shot, and it would be too hardcore for Lego to produce something of that size. But it is nice to dream.

If we did. I could only see it being a combiner like Voltron. So no individual robots just Vehicle> Devastator

Combination of J.I. Joe and Transformers. Whole theme.

As @Takanuinuva says, they'd never be able to do robots that transform into construction vehicles and limbs, not without the set being $700 and having zero articulation in combined mode or something. (Which I guess is possible, but I don't see happening). Vehicles into a single devastator unit I could see mechanically happening, but I feel like it's an odd choice of a set when we have so many other famous characters left to do.

It's not impossible, the rumored Energon Universe show is based on a comic that contains both franchises within it's universe.
