So the only question now is, is only Robot Kingdom selling this figure?

I don't like ordering from them.

Blastoff and Strafe are the same design, just with the arms switched. Anyone can choose and use whichever chest they want for Blastoff (both Takara and Hasbro) and Shuttler/Movor. All you have to do is swap the arms then rotate the head and waist 180 degrees.

Amazon has a placeholder listing for Blast Off so I'd keep your eye on them.

UW Blasty was a pain in the ass. But this looks pretty awesome.... guess I need it

Blastoff looks good! He will go great with Megascream!

Also found this guy yesterday. So far, I think he feels better than the other uses of the mold, and love how you can get the cannons up over his shoulders

We have some great news for fans looking forward to completing their Abominus. The third wave of Power of the Primes deluxes have been found in the US. Scottimus Prime found them at Walmart in Centereach Long Island, New York. This wave contains the remaining Terrorcons Cutthroat, Sinnertwin and Blot the troll. A MAGA-less Jazz is also repacked in this wave.

So, have all you fans found the wave 2 deluxes yet and thus ready for this new wave? Which of the three new toys are you most excited for? If you find these toys too, let the community know through the sightings section and your respective regional sightings forums!

Can I find the wave 2 Deluxes first, please?

Nope

Any that show up in my area, if ever.

william-james88 wrote:If you find these toys too, let the community know through the sightings section

Been doing just that.

Oh also, I forgot to ask earlier. one of the ankle tilts on the Prime Armor/Feet for Inferno was really loose. This is the first one I've had like this. Anyone else experience this?

Frikkin exactly. At this point, we have half of 2018 left, and only a single deluxe to look forward to since Wave 3 is being found. and so many figure are not being spotted by many, merely a blink and you miss it appearance.

I hate this distribution shite so so so much right now. Volcanicus is screaming for limbs that he should have had 6 months ago.

Splitting up the teams was a dumbass decision on Hasbro, especially since there were only 2 firkkin teams! and you broke 1 up by having a 3 member wave and a 5 member wave which could easily have been 4 and 4!

I'm definitely getting this! Now my Galvatronus can use the Jet Blastoff as well!

Mindmaster wrote:Can I find the wave 2 Deluxes first, please?

Same. Saw a single one which I bought, and nothing else. Re-release Hun-Gurrr and maybe Elita-1 while you're at it

I forget, do we have any word on how this is being released?

Cool, but can wave 2 show up before this please. (granted I'm still behind on wave 1)

Blast Off? Amazon most likely, same with Repugnus and Punch/Counterpunch. btw the CW, TR and PotP theory actually has some credence. How about that

If you find any of them with Nexus cards, I will buy them plus a couple dollars.

Remember when this same thing happened for Wave 1 and 2 of Combiner Wars, and then Hasbro said that they would never split up the combined teams again? Whatever happened to that?

The guy who said that then was promoted to head of Hasbro Italy and Hasbro replaced him with Ben Montano who chose to not follow that train of thought.

Not anymore Muahahahaha


Sorry, couldn't resist

Whoa, those toys up above...are AWESOME... drool!
- I also like this Autobot rumor called Vaportrail.
He's like a Golden-Yellow Italian Fiero car.. He's a robot that changes into just a car.

Combined Inferno with some limbs to form Infernocus, trying to match up the color schemes. I think this works fairly well, though Jazz would work better than Wheeljack but I did not feel like taking a leg off Volcanicus too.

Still can't get over Elita Inf!nite having a great ass in combined mode either. That is just hilarious that her bust became her badonkadonk. Still not sure if I will keep Her and/or Infernocus combined.

I'm also super tempted to hunt down 4 limbs based around rescue vehicles for Inferno to have his own team (and the combined form named REZ-Q, see Cobotron's Collectotron for that one), but I'm afraid of making a discount Defensor copy. And KO Defensors are also almost always red, which is worse

If you want a rescue vehicle kind of combiner for Inferno and friends (a.k.a., Firestormer), take a look at the pictures I did a while back. I used Alpha Bravo and Rook, along with Smokescreen and Jazz. Rook is a SWAT vehicle, and I think of Alpha Bravo as a coast guard rescue chopper. Other orange helicopters in Transformers have been such, so why not? I'm considering switching out Smokescreen for Ratchet on my Unite Warriors Lynx Master. That's up to three rescue vehicles for limbs, leaving Jazz the odd man out. Maybe get an extra First Aid somewhere and customize it into a G1 version of Medix?

The Decepticons have WON! No more Make Autobots Great Again!

Hats's off to Shawn Berger for turning public opinion against the Autobots

Agree. I passed on Snarl and Sludge for Moonracer and Studio Series Stinger back in early May. Now they're the only Dinobots I need and haven't seen them since. Hasbrotoyshop finally listed them but they're sold out. WTF!?

I do remember that, but I use Rook on Defensor and don't have the CW deluxe Groove. Same with Alpha Bravo, and I don't have the Lynxmaster set from Unite Warriors. But it would be cool to have those guys to go with Inferno.

If he is display combined, Jazz is going with the girl limbs and Wreck-Gar. Got a fun head canon for those guys too, ladies night out with Jazz playing the sweet bass and Wreck-Gar is the crazy bartender for the night club and they all have to combine to fight someone and make sure their nightclub night out isn't ruined

The wave 2 deluxes we're never available for purchase on Hasbro toy shop

Woo! Hope to see them in Canada soon! How fortunate that I got my big good strong fat hands on Rippersnapper and Hungrr just a week and a half ago!
