Handling the easy one first, it appears as though the 3 cassettes are being rereleased, which doesn't come as too much of a surprise following the release of the dino-cassettes this year with the Bumblebee toyline, bringing cassettes back into the spotlight. We only have a place holder picture at this time.
The real oddball here is what if officially called the "MP-10 Convoy X The Real Ghostbusters (Exhibition Limited)" figure, which is apparently another release of the MP-10 mold, complete with trailer, in some sort of Ghostbusters homage. There are supposedly some new parts with this release, and some new logos on the figure and trailer itself. What kind of deco and tools is entirely speculation at this point, as we again only have a place holder image.
Could it be that Optimus is gonna be decoed up like Ecto-1? Could Prime be decoed up in a brown Ghostbusters suit themed paint scheme with a trailer painted to look like a trap? Could it just be a Prime in regular colors and coated in slimer-styled paint apps? Or is it just a Prime in regular colors with some new tools and a Ghostbuster logo instead of a bot symbol? Who knows!
Both sets are rumored to be an exclusive to the 2019 Shanghai Exhibition, with a September 2019 release date, making this a very early announcement. Prime is set at a price of 815 Malaysian Ringit or $196 USD, while the cassettes are listed at 302.10 Malaysian Ringit or $73 USD.

The casettes are a separate listing, unrelated.

But honestly, I'd have preferred Squawkbox and Slamdance, they're much better cassette combiners than the dinos.
Not sure why we need Frenzy again, I wonder how they'll change him if at all? I suppose he'll be black and red instead of blue? If it's Encore then he'll likely be in cartoon colors, right?

We've already got a second set coming next month.
20 Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway
These aren't the same tapes from those two sets.

I'm in full agreeance. I'm hoping to at least have a chance to get him if he ends up being interesting enough

Well that's just silly...why release the same cassettes from vol. 1 in diffetent colours, when you've got two other cassettes just waiting to go? Hasbro really boggles my mind sometimes...

So you can give them more money.
