When is wave 2 deluxes coming to the us

You cant buy them all on HTS?

Not Hot Rod.

Hot Rod is exclusive to Walmart. Every single toy of him.

Yes, but it was my understanding that he would be part of wave two?

He isnt part of wave 2. Wave 2 only has 4 deluxes. Walmart is apart from all those and not considered part of the mainline, which is what the waves are based on.

Damn. So do we have any clue as to his release timeframe? Other than the 3 I already have, Hot Rod is the only TLK figure I am interested in.

Forgive me if this is an old question, I haven't paid much attention to TLK news.

No schedule yet. All we know is that some people have acquired him from Walmarts, but Walmart is notorious for slow releases.

Fellow Seibertronian MadProject has sent us a new image from Weibo user NOTRAB, showing off the pre-existing mold and its reuse in Transformers: The Last Knight's toyline for the Decepticon / Predacon combiner: Infernocus! Shown off next to Abominus, check out the size difference of the new torso figure, and the new black and orange deco - below!

HOLY MOTHER!

I wasn't expecting THIS much of a difference!
Abobinus is now promoted from "want" to "must have"!

Not in the least.
Since he is an exclusive, there is no estimated time. Its like Brainstorm at Walgreens. He just popped up one day and took his time getting to everyone. If its any indication to go by, for AOE, the walmart exclusive figures came out in august, so that might be when Hot Rod is easier to find.

Also worth pointing out he's only an exclusive to the US - some Asian retail has seen him show up in TRU and the such (Hong Kong for sure, probably also Singapore).

Is he in autobots unite (Walmart) or generic premium edition packaging?

Autobot Unite https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ges/38398/

Also, just to clear up some confusion, he (and the rest of the autobot unite subline) is still exclusive outside the US, but not necessarily exclusive to Walmart.

I know some people had the first impression that Infernicus might have upscaled parts, like the wings, but I dont think thats the case.
The wing on one is fully deployed while the other is folded, so thats why it looks bigger. Plus they are coloured differently, adding to the illusion. But we can tell that the feet are the exact same, so it would be odd if just one part of him was upscaled and not the others. Looking at it again, I am pretty sure there is no upscaling here.

Found TLK tiny turbo changers squeaks. Looks like he wasn't dropped after all. I'll send pics once I'm out of line, all self checkout are broken BTW he feels heavy, I think he has his trailer.

[Sabrblade]

Sweet mother of mercy! Infernocus must be Ultra or even Leader class-sized with how much extra height he has over the already-Deluxe-sized Abominus!

[Va'al]

It's the exact same toy, for each of the single toys that are exactly the same Predacons in a new deco - plus a new, bigger sized torso figure. Which means yes, it's bigger, but not upsized or upscaled in any way!

Just look at the leg bots, easier to compare by proximity:

Ferny needs to be taller than prime

He looks to be as tall. Best casonario the photography is trickig our eyes.

That torso make ALL the difference.
Jeez, it's something a 3p company usually do but THIS time, were quicker.

Thats excellent news. Please take pictures so we can news them as well as pics of the packaging in the back to show us what his code letter is.

[william-james88]

We had official images of Tiny Turbo Steelbane but they did not show his alt mode, the dragon. Now, thanks to Griffin from Ozformers, who picked up this 3 pack, we now have an image of him and accompanying Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in their alt modes. You can also see how the clear weapons are out of the box and where the hidden messages are found in alt mode.
Griffin also posted another image of all of series 2, minus Sqweeks, in both modes, which is also included below. Ejoy!

Got the bags open, some interesting stuff is in them! Shockwave is a much lighter shade of purple and his gun in silver instead of his cannon, megaton is a 2 tone grey, and squeaks is a fuller shade of baby blue. Bad news: squeaks' bag got mangled while feeling and his code is either P or B, but if it's the latter he shares a code with megatron. Now the codes,!Megtron: B Shockwave: D Squeaks: P (most likely) Cogman: A. I didn't have enough money on me to get all of them, but I got what I could and was also on a bit of a hurry and couldn't check all of them for codes.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

"P"? Seems to be pretty odd, as the letters went only to "L" in the first wave. Isn't it "F"?

The bag got mangled while I tried to get him to the window. It may be, but I'm not sure. Probably is now that I think about it.

Ewww...bot shots all over again.

Yup. I knew the previous picture showing deluxe Scorn as big as the voyager in dino mode was only due to stupid forced perspective. Now here we see that the voyager is almost twice as massive.

May be worth picking up after all. V Scorn with be the big brother!

Amazing what a new torso can do.

The Primus redeco showed up here in my country for roughly $250, no sign of hte other exclusives yet.

I am so in Love with this, I really hope Hasbro continues to make these figures, if only they can see how popular they've become. I would love to see more waves, more three packs or four packs (Dinobot) but I would love if they made a storage box for these, perhaps Lockdown's ship could be one, it isnt't hard really to make just have a spaceship mould with a storage compartment inside. I'm currently making a prototype one from card and my 3d pen, I'm also doing customs on my figures. I'm making Daytrader from Hound's figure, Galvatron from Optimus'figure and stinger using Bumblebee's figure (if people have any other ideas on what to make, please just tell me)
I would love to see the Dinobots (Grimlock, Strafe, Scorn and Slug) in a pack or a playset. Imagine how fun they would be, I'm currently using my bigger dinobot figures until there are more dinobots made.

Come on Hasbro, bring us more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carnivius_Prime]

Tiny Steelbane kinda reminds me of Kickback for some reason. The wing placement in robot mode and the beast mode looks slightly grasshopper-ish. It's neat.
I still would like Tiny Turbos of Slug and Strafe to go with Grimlock to represent the mini-dinobots in some kinda scale with the regula TLK figures (is there a proper term for the proper figures, like.. AoE's toyline there were referred to as Generations? Do we still use that?).
