I'm looking at you wave 2....okay, I'm not able to look at you wave 2, since you don't seem to exist in stores..

One of my two local Walmarts got two cases of wave 2 at two different times. I got Blackwing the first time and Moonracer the second. Nowhere near as well stocked as wave 1, in fact I'd say PotP isn't being stocked nearly as well as TR was at this point in the line, but wave 2 has been out there.

I just hope wave 3 doesn't hit before I can get the last two Dinobots now that I finally have Grimlock coming in the mail ($25 on Amazon for a short time this morning!).

The Magnificent 6 combiner idea works pretty well Sabr! Heck, if Sunstreaker were white it would be a perfect combiner in terms of color too!

I went to my Walmart today and they restocked!!! ...wave 1 PotP. I swear, I am going to get the upgrade kit for Volcanicus before I get his final limbs. I just need the damn deluxes and prime masters. Come on man!!!

Does anyone else think these current Terrorcon's are far better quality than the PotP Dinobots are?

Sure Hun-Grrr isn't all that great but I didn't buy Grimlock at all since he's not better looking than the FOC version after you add 3P piece that fills in his T-rex mode. And I don't like that combiner the dinobots form either.

Could be worse, they could have actually made the beast.

It's decided! We need a 3P company to make the Beast! You know people would buy it just to talk about how ugly it is.

Via online retailer Amazon and its Japanese branch, plus the Dengeki Hobby website, we have images of the Wave 7 figures to be released in the Transformers: Power of the Primes toyline - specifically, we're talking about PP-37 Prime Master Megatronus, Legend class PP-38 Outback and PP-39 Cindersaur, and Leader class PP-40 Rodimus Unicronus. Check out the images below, and some machine translated bios and info for the lot (and click on the images for the relevant Amazon.co.jp listings)!

That magnificent six/five idea is pretty neat (which of them is going to get it I wonder...the five named characters or the other guy )

If I were Hasbro, I would have turned the so called hitjob against itself with this instead.

I'm right there with you. On top of that, it has truly one of the most boring transformations and terrible shoulders. The only thing I use my FOC Grimlock for is the sword and shield.

I've seen Rodimus Unicronus in stores already. Target has him.

Finally have Grimlock coming? Like you couldn't find him in stores? Him and Starscream were really common around these parts.

I saw Grimlock maybe twice. Starscream was around more frequently, but I can still count the number of his sughtings on one hand...

I think MAGA Jazz is an item with historical significance. It will go on to represent a time when politics were so much at the forefront of American discourse that it bled over into a Transformers toy. Definitely keeping mine as a future talking piece.

I picked up an extra to leave in package myself, but remember get him now before the wave threes come out if you want that version.

I think lumping Takara releases into Waves is a poor use of the term. They release figures monthly, on a more-or-less predictable schedule. They plan the release to happen once, and only a limited number of one-off figures see any redistribution. This is not what a "Wave" is.

Idk how I got so grumpy this afternoon and I'm sorry.

No worries. but it does ring something to the fore. How amazing would it be for :HASBRO:

To have a release schedule like this. a few items each month, on pretty much a guaranteed date, and guaranteed to be in stock at larger B&M chains, and available online....Sure I know :HASBRO:

covers a much bigger portion of the world than :TAKARATOMY:

does, but one can dream...

Wait... Are the stumpy feet and tail on this current version that much better????!
