So BBTS suggests that these are going to be hitting retail this month, and I can't wait. In Wave 2, there is;

-Arcee
-Lugnut
-Perceptor
-Powerglide
-Acid Wing (Acid Storm)
-Hoist
-Blight
-Hardshell (Bombshell)
-Bulkhead
-Scourge
-Vehicon
-Groove

I think the one I'm most excited for is Arcee. Mostly because it gives hope that we'll see other G1 Movie characters like Kup, Blurr, and Hot Rod. Perceptor is definitely a close second.

It seems like Cheetor, Pipes and Guzzle have been replaced by Vehicon, Scourge and Hoist... the three will probably end up showing up in Wave 3.

Lugnut's one of my all-time favorite Transformers, so he's the most wanted on my list.

I think I'm rooting for Perceptor because he looks the most convincing to me.

(I am, however, very much looking forward to Bulkhead becoming a kitbashed Hound on my desk).

It's easily a tossup between Powerglide and Perceptor for this wave. Interstingly enough, they're both "P" names and both are red. :lol:

Of course it's also going to make me sad that Perceptor won't have his buddy Wheeljack.

Of course, I didn't even SEE wave 1, so I doubt I'll be able to find them. I really was hoping to get Inferno, Slingshot, and especially Hook from Wave 1. I would've nabbed Airachnid if I'd found her too.

The ONLY wave 1 blind pack I found was freakin' Dirge. While I appreciate Dirge, he's my favorite conehead due to his great color scheme, he would will look quite silly combined with Devastator!

Whatever happened to Kreon Hound? I remember seeing his picture with Kreon Ironhide back when the Initial Kreo's were introduced. (the sets like Optimus, Meggs, SS and the likes) There was a picture of them all and Ironhide and Hound were there too. This pic below?

I believe there was going to be a Hound set, but it got scrapped like Ironhide originally was. We may see it eventually, I suppose.

It's odd, I'm getting tired of seeing Hound's helmet in green now (Brawl, Bulk, Springer, and Hoist all have it)... yet I still would like to see Hound finally get released.

I wish they invested in another, perhaps generic, faceplated helmet given the ridiculous number of bots who are *supposed* to have them but don't. At the very least they could simply paint them on like they did with Powerglide and Bombshell. Bulkhead especially looks strange with a normal mouth.
