Yes Wave 4 is the final wave. Novastar is the only new deluxe. No new Leader Class figure. Unknown on the Voyager, Legend and Prime Master classes yet, but doubtful there too.

The headline needs to be revised?
Warden stated in the mass interview panel Megatronus was at that none of the price points have more than 4 waves this go around. He did say there was more stuff to announce, but mostly exclusives, maybe some Votager goodies.Seibertron wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:Notsofriendly wrote:I'm a little behind on news it seems.

Any reason you guys think Hasbro won't announce another wave at SDCC? With Wave 3 due to come out any week here, it seems highly likely to me that there should be at least one more wave due to be announced for SDCC. I can't imagine that they'll release POTP Predaking in August and not have other new POTP products at retail for September, October and November prior to the 2019 release of the "War for Cybertron" toys, if I understand the timeline correctly.

I want Pretenders done right! Or at least a new common "theme" for them where the "inner" robots can become armor for the action figure "shell" instead of actually being a robot that goes in a shell. I have faith that Hasbro can figure out how to do Pretenders right again with modern toy technology.

I'm half with you. I agree as updates to the Pretenders, the Prime Masters are teh suck. As fun little cheap mini-figures though, I think they're kinda cool. I agree 100% we need new figures of the Pretenders that actually have articulation, even if they're just "regular" TFs with the TR gimmick (especially my boi Skullgrin) but as toys I think the Prime Masters are kinda interesting. But then I think of the Prime Master as a little sentient Matrix, with the shells as nothing more than an idol/sarcophagus that contains them.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I don't mind the little mini Pretenders. I think they solve the whole scale problem since Pretenders were supposed to be able to blend in with humans and the like.
While I would've loved large scale shells, I don't think HasTak could've pulled it off with the shortcuts they've been taking to the figures. Maybe back in 2010.
I would've been perfectly happy with deluxe sized headmaster(titan master) figures who came with the little shells for the head robot to hide in which would've even made since from a fiction point of view. I wouldn't have even minded a number of repaints. Remember how many people were hoping for the Bludgeon/Hardhead repaint? I'm sure a few of the other Titans Returns figures could been utilized.
Sadly, even that seemed too much for the budget. They should've just keep the small figures as Pretender characters. Trying to also fit the 13 in there was too much and sloppy.
And that's basically what Legends Grand Maximus was gonna be like had his Pretender shell got to have been included.Wolfman Jake wrote:I have the Titans Return deluxe Metalhawk and paired him with the Power of the Primes "Vector Prime" Prime Master. I agree that a great way to have done pretenders would have been to have done new updated versions of the inner robots with removable heads that become Titan Masters that then fit inside the decoy armor shells when not riding around in their "transtector's" vehicle mode. You can emulate this idea with the figures I mentioned above, and it really works pretty well, especially when the shell itself can convert into a weapon for the robot mode to hold. All the pieces are there, but Hasbro and Takara just didn't put them together that way.

It's weird, I'm so used to grouching about those dang early-toy-getting dang city slickers, but since the last wave appeared I've become one of the dang city slickers. It's quite the conflict, let me tell you.

What ones I've been able to find, I haven't been able to afford.
K-Mart and Targets new inflated prices are almost pricing me out of collecting.
Burn wrote:$35AUD for Deluxes, no idea about Voyagers or Leaders as I haven't even seen them.
I'll probably just end up ordering them through HLJ. Works out roughly the same.
