Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Keep in mind, that's not necessarily a positive.
They will come. They have to. Check this wonkieness. I have yet to see Wave 2 Deluxes anywhere at retail. I was lucky to find MM. There is a Target I frequent. I have never seen any CW toys there until the other day I found wave 3 Legends!?!? Luckily there is another Target 4 miles away who has had a lot, but no W2 Ds.megatronus wrote:I have Drag Strip, Brake-Neck, and Motormaster - none of the wave 2 Stunticons have shown up in my area, but the ones I have, I LOVE.

I think we'll end up seeing Brake-Neck (I would consider getting him, Offroad or not - he's awesome) and Quicklsinger at BBTS and other online retailers.

EXCELLENT!!! All the usual suspects? Target, Walmart, BBTS, Toys R Us? I remember someone posting that HTS will not carry them immediately, is that right?
May 22 – AERIALBOT QUICKSLINGER and STUNTICON BRAKE-NECK will be available exclusively through participating online retailers, such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, ToysRUs.com, Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, Diamond Comics and Hasbro Toy Shop. With these two new figures, fans are finally able to complete their G1-accurate SUPERION and MENAOR figures! In addition to these all-new toys, several vendors will be running special promotions on TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS: COMBINER WARS figures, providing fans with an ideal way to complete their collections.

Along with Universe Ratchet.
The game uses toy designs both old and new.
At the very least, it means it's not coming this year. We've heard whispers of CW Combaticons coming, yet the game chose to base its Combaticons on the 1986 G1 toys instead.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:So... does this mean a Ratchet retool of First Aid is off the table?

Cheers, everyone. Fun conversation we have here today.
