Wheeljack will presumably still get shoehorned into a Legacy type release, it'll just be annoying if it's part of a bundle. As you say, bigger Spychangers or G1.5 ciphers are there if they can get over the obsession with pre-TF colour variants.
I think some of the Siege deficits may genuinely have been trying to push the weaponizer concept... not enough guns, go buy some figures that disassemble into guns.
It'd be really interesting to see some of these moulds (and maybe find out more about what the logic supposedly is for painting whole accessories -- something's gone wrong in design land with the amount of large other painted parts too, noticeably in recent years).
edit: Ordered a cheap Deep Cover and another Siege SS someone's decked out as G2 Gobots Prime with Kingdom Red Alert arms (latter seems very rare over here) for parts shuffling so touch wood the seasonal post is up to getting stuff here and add Scamper to the to-do list.
Remembering that our old toys actually exist!

G2 Gobots Prime with I'm not sure what 3P head added, and the wash isn't that bright.

Scamper also got a wash and is more muted in hand. Didn't add extra wheels.

And one I'm particularly happy with, even though I didn't fancy repainting the thighs red or switching with a G2 deco figure. Maybe later. AM SS with modded TR tank as drone.

Family photo. They differentiate fairly nicely.
