Because it's never too early to start.
So seeing as there's a good mix of new vs re-sculpt vs re-reprint, what do we think for Wave 5?
I'm thinking:
That rounds out Resistance and First Order
I agree with most of the list, though I have a feeling the Resistance Falcon might beat out the Bomber.
as for Scum, I’ll bet it will be the HWK to give Scum players direct access to the Moldy Crow title.

I'm thinking:
- Resistance Bomber
- Upsilon Shuttle
- TIE Interceptor
- A-Wing
- Some sort of Republic Crew Carrier (LAAT/I? G9 Rigger?)
- A scum small-base re-release
That rounds out Resistance and First Order
TIE Brute. Because, curveballs.
Halo SS-54 assault ship? Perfect for Scum, medium base, same movement as U-Wing?

Esentially an Ion Bomb on steroids.
So the new Hyena bomber has the bomb in the video above :
This is a bomb that should be dropped by Republic Y-wings piloted by clones as seen in the video. I think that's our first clue that Wave V will have the Yellow Republic Y-wing that will come with this new bomb that will probably be most effective against droid swarms, but maybe all swarms.
If we're going with what makes sense from a factional balance standpoint Imps need TIE Bomber to fill that role. Lambda they can wait until Wave 6 and keep building anticipation.
Rogue class starfighter with cad bane scum pilot.
Rebel - A-Wing
Imperial - Interceptor
Scum - Aggressor
Resistance - Large Base
FO - Large Base (Upsilon by default)
Republic - Large Base
CIS - Bulbasaur standalone
Edited by Porkchop ExpressRepublic/Naboo:
- N-1 starfighter
- J-type Nubian/ Star Skiff (medium/large base)
Empire:
- Tie Interceptor
- Tie Bomber
Scum: uh
Resistance: IF not the bomber, then T-85s? If neither of those two, we'll sit this next wave out.
First Order: Well obviously Vonreg's TIE Interceptor.
Republic: Y-Wing or V-Wing, but thinking Y-Wing as another medium base for them.
Seperatists: Sheathipede would be interesting, but probably Tri-Fighter.
Rebels: Beats me! A-Wings I guess!
Imperial: Look there's so many TIEs that it's better to make old ones legal, but let's just say that TIE/RB is way, way frakking overdue.
Republic:
V-Wing
Y-Wing
LAAT or the Twilight?
CIS
Tri Fighter
Empire
TIE Bomber
TIE Interceptor or Defender
Rebels
A-Wing
Z-95
First Order
Upsilon Shuttle
Maybe that red TIE from the resistance show?
Resistance
Millennium Falcon
Shocked all these Republic predictions, and none for the ETA interceptor...
But most everything else makes sense.
RERELEASES
Rebels : AWing
Empire : TIE Interceptor or TIE Bomber
Scum : ???
Resistance : StarFortress
First Order : Upsilon
NEW STUFF
Republic : LAAT or YWing
CIS : Droid Tri Fighter
Empire : TIE Brute
I predict more disappointment.

I just hope you guys get the TIE/rb sometime soon.
I might kick up a threat on the Republic Y-Wing, though. There is an immense precedent for it being medium base.
Need more SCUM!!!

Imperials will get the TIE Aggressor. It makes as much sense as releasing the Decimator in Wave 4.
Just now, JJ48 said:Imperials will get the TIE Aggressor. It makes as much sense as releasing the Decimator in Wave 4.
Not really. The Decimator makes sense because they could package 0-0-0 and BT-1 in as it has both crew slots and a Gunner slot. Putting out the Aggressor next doesn’t solve a “hey, my Conversion kit should have that” problem. Not saying the Aggressor can’t be next, but the Decimator does make more sense than the Aggressor.
My official predictions for Wave 5:
Y-wing for Scum
A-wing for Rebel
TIE Interceptor for Empire
Bomber for Resistance
Upslion for First Order
TRI-Fighter for Separatists
Eta-2 Actis for Republic
What I want for S&V in the next Wave(s):
HH-87 Starhopper
SS-54 Assault Ship
HWK-290 for Scum. Hopefully a Rebel HWK in a Squad Pack as well (with Z-95's).
I am leaning toward Wave 5 is going to be Episode IX related.
I'm hoping the Republic will get the LAAT, or perhaps the Y-wing. It's likely a bit too soon for the Eta-2, and with all the high speed ships the faction will have by wave 4 I'd guess the V-wing will be held back a bit longer as well.
For the Rebels, I'd expect more re-releases, probably the A-wing if I were to guess.
Resistance will get their bomber or their Falcon, so no real surprises expected there.
I don't play the others so I'm not gonna bother to throw out guesses for them. I'll leave that to people who actually use them.
So random question, @Captain Lackwit what's the reasoning behind the Republic Y-wing being on a medium base? Does Wookiepedia list a ridiculous length on them or something? I know the CW cartoon wasn't always to scale on most things, but they didn't look any wider there, and comparing them to other Y-wings from Rebels (that other CG animated SW cartoon), I feel like they might look a little shorter. Just curious if there's another resource that listed measurements or something.

Doubtful given that 5 will most likely be late Summer early Autumn and IX probably won't be out til December at the earliest.
