Toywiz has posted in-package images of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 3. This wave features Ratchet, a retool/redeco of his Robots in Disguise figure, plus the brand new molds Dreadwing, and Skystalker. Check them out in the images mirrored below.

I like Ratchet. On the fence with "Deadwing", and Skystalker is just boring. Robot head inside beast mode mouth? Really? Voltron pulls that off but skystalker.......ugh. PASS!

Wasn't Dreadwing killed by Megatron in the previous season? How did he make it into Beast Hunters?

Why does Ratchet keep getting worse every time we get a picture of him? Damn.

Because it's just a toy.

Yep.

But before anyone seriously makes that claim, the writers aren't reviving anyone. Skyquake and Dreadwing are dead and they're not coming back.

There's always Dark Energon. Megs has piles of the stuff just lying around.

Maybe Shockwave will experiment on the deceased Dreadwing and Cylas and revive them as loyal subordinates and then awaken the surprisingly still living Airachnid and form his own band of Decepticon usurpers.

...A man can dream.

When Colonoscopy's go wrong, your host, Ratchet.

Loved PRID, but stil can't warm to BH. I'm keeping an open mind tho' and will be intrigued to see what Takara do

Its a shame realy..DREADWING became one of my favs on prime real fast...my reaction to his death was priceless tho....lol popcorn flying thru the air...good times.

skipping this wave. saving my money.

not sure bout ratchet..but that dreadwing is prob a pass for me..cuz i already have and love the voyager..well mabey ill grab him if theres a BOGO sale or sumtin...ARGH stupid hasbro bring all the awesome toys out for the summer and then all the LEGOS..those legos rob my wallet so fast it aint even funny.

beast hunters is kinda a hit or miss line..only a couple have caught my eye.

I have to admit, I've been poking a lot of fun at Chickenwing, but he really does look pretty interesting.

Ratchetbot II looks...worse. Every time I see it WORSE. Who thought that deco was okay!? It really could have been done well if they had gone all out on Dinobot II's deco, I think. Still weird, but it would have looked cohesive.

Skystalker at least has my favorite deco so far icyblues and whites mixed like that are always pleasing to my eyes. However, as with every single Predacon in the line, bar none, he has the same stupid, unimaginative transformation. Easy, easy pass. Plus, those wings look like they won't pose well and will just make it excessively topheavy.

Only interested in Skystalker atm.

Well, to each his own. Personally, Ratchet is clearly the best of this wave. I find it hard to believe how anyone can like Skystalker. He doesn't even "transform". All you do is stand him up and open his dragon mouth.

Worst of the line, by far.

But his simple transformation is his charm. They don't all need to be Masterpiece grade, you know? Look at what happened with RotF Leader Prime

ROTF Leader Prime actually transformed. Skystalker doesn't......

Skystalker is a buy on site, more than likely grab dreadwing.

Not sure on that ratchet, colors are just terrible.
