(In fact, there's a PE-specific thread too: perfect-effect-cw-tr-upgrade-kits-catch-all-thread-t106315.php )
But I think it's nonetheless interesting for the toy line and people interested in it because for example this upgrade kit in particular could change the decision of people if they wanna buy Volcanicus/the Dinobots or not.
And it's meant for the Power of the Primes toy line so I guess it has its place in here

Does anyone know when approximately we can expect Wave 2 to hit the HTS or retailers?

Funny how they picked the figures they did to show off Starscream's combiner mode. They used Jazz, Slag, Swoop, and Dreadwind, all who happen to be the wave one Deluxes for Hasbro's markets. However, Takara is only releasing Jazz in their first wave and filling the second with all of the Deluxes Dinobots, Moonracer, Dreadwind, AND Darkwing. They had their choice of who to stick on "Megascream," but went with the only option Hasbro customers have right now. It's just interesting.

My guess is that they already had photos from Hasbro and since they actually weren't mis-transformed, they decided to just use Hasbro's.

By that logic, why didn't they move Dreadwind and Darkwing up to wave 1 to give more than one Deluxe sized figure there? Takara's distribution plan seems a little haphazard, except for releasing the entire Dinobot team at once. I would have put at least Starscream in Wave 1 to have some Voyager scale representation and moved Rodimus Prime to wave 2 to spread out the Leader sized figures a bit better. Wave 2 seems to be lacking in Legends figures as well. You'd think they'd at least release Battleslash and Roadtrap, even if they're shy on releasing a redeco like Tailgate so soon after offering his mold mate Windcharger.
