We have some more wave 3 Transformers Kingdom sightings for you today. Firstly, the core class figures, both Soundwave and Dracodon have been found in the US in Illinois. We know this because Soundwave was then immediately sold on the secondary market (hence the image below). They were found at Target. If you want to find them too, these product numbers may be useful:
Soundwave EAN # 5010993769636
Dracodon EAN # 5010993774425
Walmart got some new wave 3 items as well, or should I say item (singular). Since a fan found a whole case of just Wingfinger. You can see those images (from Twitter) below as well.

Just what I always wanted, a pelican skeleton. Hasbro really needs to lay off the drugs.

You are one of the very few who appreciate the Fossilizers and what they are as a line of toys made for kids. Also its not even a pelican and far from the “worst in years”

I mainly popped in here to leave my thoughts on the "Battle across Time" multipacks. In my opinion, both are a case of "decent figure bundled in with dodgy figure", with the decent figures being Sideswipe (although I personally think the inclusion of the gun is more of an improvement the slight increase in matching to Sunstreaker) and Grimlock (because of general improvements of the Kingdom Dinobot mold vs. the original plus no GPS) and the dodgy figures being BWII Skywarp (looks okay, but he's in the same vein as Universe Drag Strip, Onslaught, and Silverbolt) and Mirage (a disgusting waste of plastic and engineering time; the retools were unnecessary because the unearthliness came from him being transparent, they don't really make him look more like the cartoon and are worse for accuracy wrt mold layout, and in fact the robot mode ends up looking less like the cartoon because the launcher can't be mounted in the right spot anymore!). And unlike what some people think about SS86 Hot Rod, Amazon's price for the the Sideswipe-Skywarp two-pack is well and truly a scam because both toys are just regular Deluxes and there's nothing else to add value... yet the price (at least according to my most current information) is the same as the Grimlock-Mirage pack.
I would maybe get Sideswipe if he was a single; that would free up my SIEGE version to be repainted as G2, and having the already-extant Earth tweaks (altho frankly just changing the roof paint on the SIEGE tooling would do a lot for that) and blue glazing would be neat. But they aren't enough to make me want to get a noncombining combiner member, especially at the gouged price.
Moving on from that...
Has the trainwreck (IMO anyway; I'm not happy about him needlessly getting ER Arcee'd) that is Tracks actually made its way into anyone here's hands yet? Would kitbashing him to have an integrated transformation be relatively straightforward, or is it enough of a lost cause that I'd be better off fixing the RTS version's ugly af flight mode?
And looking forward to getting my hands on Rodimus Prime, even if that takes til Christmas.

Seriously. And new concepts! I think this are the first fossil Transformers. We're only getting four of these guys but honestly to me they're the only original thing in the franchise since the 2007 movie designs. Maybe Animated could count as original too? But after that, it's been a decade of do-overs.

I think it's very cool. The whole play pattern is great and very fitting with Transformers. I'd love them to make something that wasn't a partsformer but still split in pieces that gave multiple configurations, sort of like Kup, but with the weaponizer possibilities of the fossilizers.

I was hoping they would take this style and apply it to the extra Junkions. I get wanting Wreck-Gar himself to be a solid figure but an army of Junkions that break apart like Weaponizers/Fossilizers would be way cool!

That's what was making me hesitant on Wreck-Gar! I kept looking at him and going "What am I missing here... It's perfect, but why am I not pumped for it?" I think HasTak might have decided against adding that concept to any more figures for some reason after Kup, cause Waspinator and the Junkions are PERFECT for that gimmick, but so far only Kup has it.
Ah well, hopefully we get a repaint of Wingfinger as a Predacon so that we can have a purely good Fossilizer combiner and purely bad Fossilizer combiner. Either way, it'll be interesting to see where the Weaponizer/Modulator/Fossilizer concept goes Post-WFC. I think current rumors suggest it's going away, but HasTak KNOWS how popular they are, so I can't imagine they'd just completely get rid of them

I'm almost certain we will get a Predacon repaint of Wingfinger. I want the same thing (2 faction-aligned fossilizer combiners). As for the concepts popularity...I certainly would like it to continue, but who knows. I know there were a lot of fans that were eager to complete their micromaster collections, and that didn't happen. Legends Class was gone for 2 years, comes back as Core Class, but now serves a different purpose. A LOT of smaller characters don't really have a way to be represented now (except through upsizing them to deluxe which I'm still not fond of)...but that's just me.

That is the ideal.
Meanwhile, I got an invoice for Kingdom Galvatron (not for me) from Kapow on Saturday. Who still lists him as a pre-order available in September?
Posted by DISCHARGE on June 14th, 2021 @ 2:36pm CDT
Picked them at the local target today
Also saw Rhinox at the walmart across the street from target too.
I think it's the first time I've seen him in my area

I'm both blind and stupid, and I honestly don't see much of a difference in how the shoulders sit. I know people who did get theirs already from BBTS and it is not "fixed" so who knows. I'll probably ship him out today and post pics as soon as I get him.
I agree one can't really tell on first sight, but once you see them together it slaps you in the face.
NOTE: I wouldn't recommend this manner of fixing (especially if you don't know your strength), as it has a high risk of damaging the upper arm parts. Wiggling the rivet out like that is NO guarantee.

With the waist pulled out the T30 is nearly a match heightwise.

It ain't like I don't have them preordered (and Galvatron is already showing up within 50 miles of me). But I would've liked to grab a Rodimus guaranteed on July 1.

That is a wise move, especially since the T30 figure did have some QC issues. I'm not sure how widespread they are, but mine has loose knees and and only stand in a few poses. Paying $100 for that would really suck.

I'm excited for Tigatron, too. Especially since he's still vapor. I have to say, though, I can't wait to get Rodimus more than anything.
Posted by Razorbeast88 on June 15th, 2021 @ 8:46am CDT
Though I'm also curious to see the new character, slammer I think? The turtle? Hopefully there's a retool into snapper at some point if the designs are similar enough
Curious about pipes too
Man if BW characters continue in the next lines, id love a transmetal Tigatron update. That botcon figure was always way too expensive online for me

Tigatron and Waspinator are the only things from general retail wave 4 I plan on buying, but I may also get Shadow Panther if it looks decent enough, and maybe re-purpose it as Ravage. If we're still getting the Amazon "Golden Disk" Terrorsaur that was leaked a while back I'll buy that too.

I forgot about Blaster. Blaster is above even Tigatron. I'm sure Pipes will be fine. Hurry up and take my Blaster money, Hasbro!

Nope, you didn't miss anything, Slammer is the tank for Metroplex.

Correct, although the OP might have been confusing Slammer with Snapper .

The leaker who first talked about Slammer originally spoke of him as a Warpath "partial," but now says that he's seemingly a brand new mold with Weaponizer functionalityJelze Bunnycat wrote:Razorbeast88 wrote:Though I'm also curious to see the new character, slammer I think? The turtle?

You were probably thinking of Snapper, the snapping turtle Predacon from the Beast Wars toyline. The new female Predacon from the comics is called "Skold". Slammer is more than likely a white repaint of Warpath based on the tank that came with G1 Metroplex.
