Thanks to fellow fan, Eric John A. Cruz and Cybertron Philippines, we have some great news to share with you: Combiner Wars Wave 3 is hitting retailers in Asia! (This is good news for the rest of us, means it's just a few weeks until they hit the US and other world regions!) Mr. Cruz shared this good news with us on our Seibertron Facebook page, which you can see his post here.

The wave is due to be released on April 18th in the Philippines at various Toys R Us stores, which you can see in the image mirrored below:

Eric John A. Cruz > ‎Seibertron.com
Combiner Wars Voyagers, Deluxes and Legends wave 3 and Leader Class wave 2 will be distributed tomorrow, Saturday, April 18 at Toys R Us Robinsons Galleria (Metro Manila)

Since it's already the 18th in the Philippines, we have in hand images of Wave 3 to share with you, courtesy of Mr. Cruz!

Up first:
Leader Class Thundercracker (base mold is a heavily retooled Leader Class Jetfire, you can see him in our galleries)

Next:
Voyager Class Cyclonus (a redeco of Silverbolt, with a new head) and Hot Spot (a new mold!)

Followed by:
Deluxe Class Blades (a repaint of Alpha Bravo, with a new head), First Aid (A drastic reshelling/remold of Offroad), Rook (a brand new mold!) and Streetwise (Another drastic reshelling/remold of another figure, Dead End)

And last, but certainly not least:
Legends Class Groove (another new mold!), Warpath (a redeco of Generations Legends Megatron with a new head) and finally Viper (a redeco of Legends Powerglide in Decepticon/Cobra (G.I.Joe) color scheme!)

With them seeing release in the Asian region of the world, it's at least reasonable to assume that the April release date provided by BBTS is looking possible at this time, even though Amazon has them listed with a preorder date of June 15th. Chances are this is a special early release and June's the actual saturation release time frame, as soon as we know, you will!

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

At the same time brilliant and yet also

Because on one side, yes he fits, on the other OH MY GOD he's like a dog on the neighbors leg.

It looks like it's holding on for dear life. I'll have to try that out when I get mine next week. Yes, even though I said I couldn't, Robot Kingdom got their shipments in last night. I'm so weak.

The way they fit together (Rook and Groove) I can't help but wonder if that's intentional, but just left out of the instructions. That was what I wanted to do if I had to buy Rook and now that I see it works, I'm fine with the purchase. He just won't see vehicle or robot mode, he'll be in leg/Groove anchor mode forever.

Excellent. Yesssss...

Yep sorry you are quite correct, looked at specific starscream thread.

The leader class thread is very active if not a bit of topic at the moment.

In all honesty the amount of fuss made over thundercracker made me think after seeing the comic that would be the hot topic at this time. It's gotta be almost 100% now we have had an image like the one we have in the latest issue. (I'm on mobile adding images is a nightmare)

While Canada did get the wave 2 deluxes before the states, that was just one or two boxes per store and they never got restocked. Canada has yet to see the legends and voyager molds and the deluxes were never restocked. So while Wave 3 might be coming, Dragstrip is the only stunticon I have still.

Ditto on the other side of Canada.

Sadly as of yet we haven't even seen wave 2 yet on general release in the UK. I can't even get Air Raid to complete Superion on Ebay!

Guess I never saw Viper's robot mode that clearly before. Suddenly, the Joe jokes are purged from my mind, and all I can see is PG being repainted into Combiner Wars Straxus. Much as I love Big Blue, it's not a retool of CW Megatron, so hopefully this will change once I have him in hand.

It's cool that Groove can combine with Rook. I wonder what it looks like in arm mode. Regardless, I am not putting Groove on the chest anymore since there are better spots for him. Still hope a viable shield mode that can attach to an arm can be made.

The Philippines gets everything. When I visited Manila, I saw stuff that you can only buy online in the USA. It was fun to visit a place where adult oriented hobby shops still exist. Cant speak for other cities, but here in Miami, today's economy has gobbled up small business owners.

It's speculation, however in IDWs Transformers #35 and 36, it shows rumble and frenzy are now motorbikes. I and a few other people speculated this change could relate to a new toy or vice versa, similar to other design changes in the past 2 or 3 years.

From the looks of it Warpath is (once again) short packed at a 2:3 ration (2 Warpath for every 3 Groove/Viper)

Ah. Not being a reader of the comics, I was unaware of that. I shall be content with these two:

...but I suppose that a hypothetical reuse of the Groove mold could be handy for anyone who never got their hands on those since they were never released domestically.

I was just going by what others have said previously and the IDW comics that I have seen previewed. I was hoping someone had some more info about them that's all.

Indeed, with Groove on the chest, and his Autobot symbol looking like a sheriff's badge on the chest, I had a very CHiPs vibe from it too.

Speculating the CW toys will be off limits to botcon and as Club exclusives. At least until 2017. As HasTak will be repurposing older and newer CW toys to create Bruticus, Computron, G-2 Versions and Maybe Liokaiser. If 2016, 2017 is the year of the CW Beast bots. Then I think hasbro will repurpose them into Predaking, Abonimus and the Seacons.

Anyways guessing the Botcon CW toys won't be that great. As Funpub would probably make CW Combiners only a few want. Like doing that Nexus Maximus Club combiner update CW toy. Maybe doing a Shattered glass combiner. Perhaps doing a G2 recolored Combiner that never existed to begin with.

No I dont, it wouldnt be efficient enough in a business of scale like Hasbro. Hence why even last time they did one with Bruticus, there were at least 3 diferent versions of those molds. You gotta strike that mold while its hot.

Also, Tsu, I am certain Hasbro will not be making a generation liokaiser, at least not with these molds. This line has shown us that they are respecting the amount of members on a combiner team and Liokaiser just doesnt fit. He's not even a standard combiner with his hands and feet not being extra accessories. If he gets an update, it would be more along the lines of Devastator and I dont see that happening. If they give him an update before rereleasing the G1 version then I will eat my hat.

Anybody else have a TERRIBLE time with their Powerglide? For some reason, mine doesn't ever want to keep its legs together and keeps folding at the hips...

Add in that my Superion arms don't seem strong enough to hold him out without bending at the double elbows... and I pretty much find the targetmaster aspect to be kinda worthless :HEADHURTS:

Yes, my Powerglide suffered from the same thing! I have a fix that I hope to post to the appropriate thread soon. Basically, those long tabs on the legs appear to either be designed poorly or are suffering from over-packing the mold. I am working to get a new Powerglide with the same problem to put together the fix.

Posted by Yotsuyasan on April 19th, 2015 @ 2:09pm CDT

I guess I got lucky with my Powerglide. It can be a slight pain to get everything together, but once it is together, it stays together. Yet I have heard many complaints to the contrary from others.

As far as his interactivity with Superion, that is something else I have heard from many, as well. That his elbows aren't strong enough to support the weight of Powerglide as a gun. Suppose I shall have to wait to see for myself, though. Even with the announcement of a domestic Slingshot, I felt it would be simpler just to wait until June for Takara's. Perhaps I'll be lucky there, as well, and Takara's will have tighter joints?

Anyway, Powerglide has no problem being held up by... himself! :lol:
