F to the Yes!
Okay, a few stumbles there, but all improvements over the wave 1 versions of the remolded guys, and the new ones look good. I don't really like the Insecticon as one of the classic 3, but he's nice (Repugnus repaint pls?) and I absolutely love all the weapons. Magnus Sword and gun combo is BA!

[RAcast]

Magnus is, as I expected, a HUGE improvement over Prime, especially that awesome combining sword! Jazz's mold looks so much better in red, and that BFG looks great. Starscream is win, but we knew that already; and he looks amazing with Magnus' sword, I'll definitely be trading their weapons if I pick them both up, haha.

Fireflight and the Insecticon both look great as well, but I don't have any interest in them.

Starscream has that mini scrapmaker machinegun that the Flyers have in Multiplayer mode (and Bumblebee in the intro game sequence)

Sideswipe has the pistol Optimus has on the cover of the game and it's the weapon of the Scout class in multiplayer.

Kickback has the Shredder, a weapon for flyers in Multiplayer. Kind of overpowered ingame.

I love these 3 weapons

Buncha cheap crap...sadly.

[PrymeStriker]

It's a shame that there are only two new molds of five figures in Wave 3, but the remolds are so good.

Okay. If they're all in-game weapons... I take back everything I said. While I'd like some extra null-ray weapons, etc... this is a fantastic follow-through. Video game robot designs as toys, and their video game weapons included. Bravo, Hasbro/Takara. Bravo.

^ Yeah, I was gonna say, I think they're all from the game.

Is it just me, or do these have a lot more paint apps than the previous waves?

It appears so. Finally! Maybe Hasbro is listening.

I wonder if that Ultra Magnus head could be used on the Voyager Classics Ultra Magnus, because I would seriously consider buying two UM's just for the second head.

Not that it matters, since I want these guys I'm sure none of the stores will have them. BUMBLEBEE REPAINTS FOREVER!

I doubt it would fit on the Voyager, FoC Prime's head is TINY. And you're probably right about the availability. :p

These do all look pretty amazing. Magnus is a bit too blue but the sweet combinable weapons look amazing. All the weapons look pretty amazing, especially that BFG. Sideswipe's bot mode still isn't great but the colors are definitely an improvement over Jazz. Starscream looks good but his arms don't look too secure in bot mode, much like Cybertron Thundercracker. Fireflight (Air Raid? Whatever...) looks surprisingly good. I might repurpose his small sword for someone else, but we'll see. I'm really liking these armaments!

Now, to figure out which ones will be shortpacked... Probably Starscream, since everyone will want him.

[gothsaurus]

Yeah, there has to be a dart board in the Hasbro break room that they use to pick which characters are short packed.

Or if there is a troop builder figure, they just automatically default to that? Vehicon, I'm looking at you. From that standpoint, it would be Kickback short packed, since we'll all want an army of insects. Heh.

I DO hope to high heaven they have two more insects coming for Shrapnel and Bombshell. (Or Snarf-shot and Hardshell... or whatever their new names are.

Really liking these combining weapons, also that they are all from the game, hope they continue with that. My personal fave has gotta be Starscream, cuz he's comes with my favorite gun from the game.

[triKlops]

this is a pretty sweet wave, all of these will be immediate buys
