The way they fit together (Rook and Groove) I can't help but wonder if that's intentional, but just left out of the instructions. That was what I wanted to do if I had to buy Rook and now that I see it works, I'm fine with the purchase. He just won't see vehicle or robot mode, he'll be in leg/Groove anchor mode forever.

Excellent. Yesssss...

Yep sorry you are quite correct, looked at specific starscream thread.

The leader class thread is very active if not a bit of topic at the moment.

In all honesty the amount of fuss made over thundercracker made me think after seeing the comic that would be the hot topic at this time. It's gotta be almost 100% now we have had an image like the one we have in the latest issue. (I'm on mobile adding images is a nightmare)

Oh man. My wallet just recovered from wave 2!!

While Canada did get the wave 2 deluxes before the states, that was just one or two boxes per store and they never got restocked. Canada has yet to see the legends and voyager molds and the deluxes were never restocked. So while Wave 3 might be coming, Dragstrip is the only stunticon I have still.

Ditto on the other side of Canada.

Sadly as of yet we haven't even seen wave 2 yet on general release in the UK. I can't even get Air Raid to complete Superion on Ebay!

Guess I never saw Viper's robot mode that clearly before. Suddenly, the Joe jokes are purged from my mind, and all I can see is PG being repainted into Combiner Wars Straxus. Much as I love Big Blue, it's not a retool of CW Megatron, so hopefully this will change once I have him in hand.

I thought these would not be available until June?!?!?!?!

Damn, stop robbing me Hasbro!

Er...there are a few on eBay. Importing will probably be expensive, but it's an option.

It's cool that Groove can combine with Rook. I wonder what it looks like in arm mode. Regardless, I am not putting Groove on the chest anymore since there are better spots for him. Still hope a viable shield mode that can attach to an arm can be made.

Found these on TFW2005, which apparently found them on the Facebook of one Oscar Fung:

The Philippines gets everything. When I visited Manila, I saw stuff that you can only buy online in the USA. It was fun to visit a place where adult oriented hobby shops still exist. Cant speak for other cities, but here in Miami, today's economy has gobbled up small business owners.

As I and many others suspected it looks much better than the promo pics. I will be interested to see if the rumors are true and Groove gets retooled into Rumble and Frenzy.

Just wondering. Have you seen any pictures of Frenzy and Rumble in robot mode with the motorcycle alt mode? I have been googling and I can't find any

Huh... First I have heard of this rumor, myself. Is there any basis for this rumor, or is it pure speculation?

It's speculation, however in IDWs Transformers #35 and 36, it shows rumble and frenzy are now motorbikes. I and a few other people speculated this change could relate to a new toy or vice versa, similar to other design changes in the past 2 or 3 years.

based on the alt-modes they took in the recent IDW Comics.

From the looks of it Warpath is (once again) short packed at a 2:3 ration (2 Warpath for every 3 Groove/Viper)

Ah. Not being a reader of the comics, I was unaware of that. I shall be content with these two:

...but I suppose that a hypothetical reuse of the Groove mold could be handy for anyone who never got their hands on those since they were never released domestically.

I was just going by what others have said previously and the IDW comics that I have seen previewed. I was hoping someone had some more info about them that's all.
