    - Critter (awaiting info from the author)
    - Bouquet (source close to Fire)
    - Toga (similar to Fruit)
    - RedQueen (some instability in previous seasons)
    - Equinox (some instability in previous seasons)
    - Delphi (rating)
    - Rookie (new)
    - Other (please specify why)
Note: Hiarcs and Shredder will participate with brand new versions in Season 9, that starts right after Season 8. Other two engines, that we will keep secret for now, will also submit code that they expect to be "revolutionary"

Note 2: Even if some of these engines is not selected this season, all these engines are rather certain for Season 9 if proper code is submitted by the engine creators.
