Are you ready to start building your Transformers Combiner Wars Defensor? Fellow Seibertronian Cdavid3 is as he found the third wave of Combiner Wars deluxe figures. They were found in a Target in Fremont, CA. Wave 3 includes Protectobots Blades, Rook, First Aid and Streetwise which combine with Voyager Hot Spot to form Defensor.

Also spotted in the pictures is legends class Groove which also can combine with Defensor. Viper and Warpath can be found in legends wave 3 too. If you spot new Transformers in your neck of the woods, do like Cdavid3 did and use the Submit News link to let your fellow Seibertronians know.

CW Wave Three set of Four Deluxes and Legends Groove, is in transit to me from BBTS. Should get the toys next week.

Was a bit sad that CW Wave Three Cyclonus and Hotspot are not in stock yet.

Aw, WHAT? Yeesh Hasbrotoyshop.com - how come everyone has these but YOU? You'd think Hasbro's official distribution website would have some of the figures they make....

fair play with the retailers - give them the first go before selling direct - a number of companies, especially electronics producers, selling direct to the public has stuffed up relations with their biggest buyers/sellers in the past

Wave 3? Where in holy heck is wave 2?

May be slightly off topic... but on HTS they have a Scrapnel/reflector pack.

1) Has this actually been in stores yet?! I've never seen it before... May have to order it if it's already made the rounds in retail...

2) Does he match up with CW (There's a solid connection ) Bombshell?

Yea, Skrapnel/Reflector was at retail something like a year ago. You should definitely pick it up from HTS now while they still have them.

I still need to find my little mini-car for Menasor. Also, it looks like I'm never going to find Gears at retail, so I'm going to have to hunt for a decent deal on ebay...

hasbro really needs to calm down with the waves coming out so fast, i havent seen wave 2 at all & have only seen wave 1 twice. With the price gouging & crap distribution it feels like hasbro doenst want people to buy their products.

Funny thing is here in Europe we're still stuck at wave 1. Releases and distribution are way behind and veeery slow here.

Cool - hopefully that means TFSource should be getting some instock and I'll get my pre-order set soon.

You will remember the teaser shot of the white redeco of Transformers Combiner Wars Optimus Prime - the renamed Optimus Maximus - showing the potential Sunstreaker and Mirage redecos of Dragstrip and Breakdown. Thanks to weibo user Starscream韋, we finally get a sort of look at the full figure's promotional artwork, confirming the rumoured Ironhide from Offroad, and giving a glimpse of Prowl, probably still from Streetwise. Check out the image below, and specifically the poster in the background, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Note: we've included the promotional banner again, too, to show the upper half of the image.

Hot rod is a re-paint of blackjack clearly on the chest. His flame hood is clearly there.

Has anyone noticed that Hasbro has been taking more and more ideas from 3rd party vendors? it's great for me because I can't afford $100+ individual toys but it's kind of sad that they are creating almost after they see the market is there. Predaking would be a must for me because he was so friggin awesome in the comics and cartoons, but the way the redecos are coming out it looks like Hasbro is going to create thier own new combiners and use every marketing tool available, I.e. Comics, apps, cartoons, to get us on board to buy. but I don't think the consumer market will be as excited once we get to the end of the combiner wars series if we get familiar names with all re-tools. They could be working on a combiner dinobot or predaking and THAT would get me salivating...

We've seen the toy.

picture time!

Bonus shot:

Now I can recreate this scene:

I wouldn't be so sure about Streetwise/Dead End for Prowl. Look at how the front of the white limb is covering the knee instead hanging below it. Is that possible with Dead End?

I thought the same thing. If it were dead end we would have the front of the car flipped back.

I see two wheels just below the knee. The front wheels on Dead End flip down with the front end of the car.
ROOK!?!?

Found this online:

Looks to be just the torso-bot's lower thigh with its upper thigh covered by shadow and looking darker. No leg-bot's kibble can cover the knee like that when said knee is bent.

Quick question: has anyone seen the Wave 1 Deluxes with pack-in comic instead of the card? I'm curious to know if they are in the wild yet...

w1 with comic are not out

I just hope these all have extensive remolding. So far I can't really see getting a good-looking Mirage from Dragstrip.

Why not? Unlike his G1 self, CW dragstrip does not have the 6 wheels making his alt mode more in line with Mirage's.

And last time we just got a redeco and it worked out great, now we'll have a different head to differentiate them even more
