I hope Greenlight and Lancer are coming in later waves too!

The Prime Armor accessory looks like a strapped on baby carrier. What a useless gimmick.

Congratulations Powerglide!

That was my first thought. The worst part is, you can put a titan/prime master in there and have her carry it for nine months.

Also courtesy of regular news source, through whatever means they may be deploying to do so, for upcoming Transformers toys on Weibo tf-factory, we have more images of the recently confirmed wave 2 (see here for our previous coverage) of Transformers Power of the Primes line - or in any case, the deluxes such as Dinobots Sludge and Snarl, Duocon Blackwing (who is not only compatible with Prime Masters, but also fellow Duocon Dreadwind, at least in jet modes), and Terrorcon Rippersnapper. All are wavemates of the previously seen Moonracer, as reported here.

You can check out all of the images below, and let us know what you make of the stock photography so far, and if any of these pique your interest at all, even at this initial state of 'first look'. Join the conversation in the Energon Pub, the Seibertron.com discussion boards!

No, they are TF wombs, so imagine the damage being done to millions of unborn Cybertronians every time a Power of the Prime combiner combines

Dreadwing and Darkwing aren't Duocons, a Duocon is a robot which transforms into two seperate vehicles. Dreadwing and Darkwing are combiners

It sure is messing up those stock photos of those figures and looks terrible too. Snarl looks alright (I mean without that crap on his front and as far as a cheap looking Deluxe combiner wars limb version of him can look)

Hasbro's instructions for them label them (or at least their combined form Dreadwing) as Duocons.

It's backwards terminology, yes, but that's what the instructions say.

I wish Rippersnapper's arms changed between modes somehow. As is, it looks a little lazy.

The Prime Armor nonsense doesn't bother me. It doesn't add anything but doesn't take away either since you don't need to keep them on. I'm always a fan of more accessories rather than less (finger candy)

I really hope Blackwing's head looks better in person...

Hopefully we will get some stock images of the TFs after they have given birth

Dinobots look good (but Sludge neess to be bigger), Rippersnapper could use more more paint, and aside from the head, Blackwing will be great to put next to his buddy!

I don't mind Rippersnapper's hands it looks like he has Wolverine claws

He seems actually worse than his crummy G1 toy in that way since that had seperate beast/robot mode arms. This looks like all you do is tuck robot legs in to make butt, unfold beast legs, flip beast-head hood over and pretty much done. Not really much of a transformation.

Which is pretty much the same as his G1 toy, except you don't push in or out his tiny robot and still visible robot arms.

I feel like the claws in robot mode give him more character. He's a badass bipedal shark creature in alt mode and now in robot mode he can still live up to his name of ripping other bots apart.

Maybe if they were on hinges so I could decide if I wanted them out or not...

I'm still waiting for the Takara one with the Hydra and Buster Prime Master set
looks like i'll wait for Blackwing and Dreadwing then.

Yeah, the thought of having a gestalt with all the limbs being powermaster jets is über exciting. Will have a not-completely-identical but very unified look. FTW!!!

Aside from that, Dreadwing have G1 Decepticon insignias , and no signs of Movie insignias

now where's [B]attletrap?

I must have missed that. Did the prototypes sport movie logos?

AND heck yeah, Battletrap. I wanna see both those guys... even if we can't get cool triple changer retools for them at Voyager class.

Yeah, it looks kinda ugly when it's not the G1 Decepticon insignia.

I can’t wait for Battletrap hopefully we get a Flywheels.
