My gut tells me Kingdom will be S1 meets G1.
Fossilizers will be guys like Catilla, Chainclaw, Carnivac. The idea will be they can wrap around Core figures to give them new bodies like pretenders, and they'll have organic elements that let G1 figures have beast elements.
I also think BW Megatron is going to have removable armor, similar to his MP. This will let other figures hold his claw or hip missiles.
BW was known for how it integrated weapons in alt mode. I think this may go one step further, and larger figures will be able to remove certain beast kibble to provide weapons for other figures. It will *not* lead to partsforming.
Rodimus is the wildcard. I think he'll be a Siege-like Leader. A space Winnebago who's trailer breaks down into armor for his G1 bot mode.
I also think we'll see a poll for which G1 character we want to see get a beast mode. This poll may also go as far as to let us pick their alt.
Transmetals and Fuzors aren't going to be ignored, but I think those will be in the next chapter of Generations. Like, Kingdom ends with Primal taking on the Matrix and the PotP poll finally comes true.
Because I think the trick is to get BW re-established with Kingdom, and then there's a deep pool of figures named after G1 guys that they could alongside S2/3 cast members.
I also believe both Prime and Megatron will get beast modes. If not Kingdom, shortly after. Like, if Megatron becomes Galvatron in this chapter, it sets up HasTak to have him become BWII Galvatron shortly thereafter. If I'm Hasbro, I hope Takara is okay with me marketing Lioconvoy as Prime's new alt.
