Not at big box retailers, anyway. I've seen the entire deluxe wave and I have Wildrider and Tarantulas.

Neither Canada nor the US has gotten the wave 2 deluxes in yet. And I thought Jhiaxus was already available at Geekstuff, no? (could be I am mixing up with the studio series voyagers, which they got super early)

Yeah, wave 2 has been appearing at specialty shops for a little while now and it is readily available in certain regions of Europe and Asia.

So, either Hasbro managed to get the name "Pointblank" back after all, or that packaging is not final.

Dragon Megs: Looks good, isn't for me though. Beast Wars just doesn't really interest me except for a few exceptions like Waspinator and Rattrap.
Pointblank: Cool that they actually got the proper western name, though unimportant, and I'm still disappointed they're using the Rebirth/Marvel head instead of the one he usually has, and I'm still worried about the seeming lack of a bicep swivel. I really hope this upcoming stream will clear that up.
Skullgrin: He looks good for the most part, I just hope that there are tracks somewhere underneath that front part of the alt-mode and that either there's a regular head underneath the skull or someone makes one for him. Hell, maybe even give him a head based on TLK Megatron? I hated that design but I think the head could work for Skullgrin with it's big mandible/mask pieces.
Crankcase: I was hoping the hood of the alt-mode would have made his big shoulder cannons and the reason we didn't see it in that earlier photo of him was just that it was a detachable accesory, like the designers or executives were worried that non-fans would find it ugly, so they designed it so it could be detached and become a pair of giant hand held guns instead. Idk, sounds like something Hasbro would do, but apparantly they just completely ditched it unfortunately. Hopefully a third party company will fix that.
Deadend: Feet are ugly but they're not that big of a deal in my opinion, though it's unfortunate that the leg wheels end up on the outside of the shins instead of the inside. Makes me hope that maybe I can just swap the legs at the mushroom peg for the thigh swivel and I'll still be able to get the transformation to work, even if that does mean I'll lose the ankle tilt.
Inferno: Honestly looks to be a pretty disappointing release given that he lacks the fourth flap on his jetpack assembly thing. Doesn't matter too much to me though cause again I don't really care about Beast Wars.

I double checked to make sure...But it's interesting that Tarantulas and Inferno have the BW Predacon faction symbol on their packaging...But Leader TM2 Megatron has the Prime Predacon logo... 
As stylized as they are making Prime characters...it would be kind of crazy of we got a Prime Predaking heavy retool from TM2 Megatron in addition to the obvious/ easy Cryotek repaint.

Crankcase bot mode looks good. Car mode not so much. If the front is modular so the bits detach for various arm weapons etc a but like the energon/mivue version then that would be cool. Otherwise the cars grill is a but ugly whichever way hasbro orientated it XD it still dint make the car look any better. Also not sure on the facing of the decepticon symbol.
Megatrons dragon mode looks like he went on a diet. Think I'd stick to original toy for him.

I think they all look decent to good for what they are. Right now, my only sure purchase is Inferno, and that's to complete my season 1 cast.
Megatron looks alright, though the wings look flimsy. I'll pass on this, the character doesn't have a strong enough connection for me to be repped in my collection. I wish we got Transmetal T-Rex Megatron instead. But I guess this figure can go with the PoTP Optimal Optimus.
Pointblank is a maybe, I don't care for the vehicle mode or the inferior targetmaster. But I do have Crosshairs and I'm trying to complete Fort Max's crew from the Steelhaven.
Crankcase, Skullgrin and Dead End are all a pass, though not because they're bad. I already have Generations Skullgrin, and though this is an improvement for the most part, he's not important enough for me to drop another $25 on the character. If I can score him for cheap, I will get him. Maybe I can swap the 2 heads. I already decided to pass on the Stunticons, and Crankcase is also just a background character to me.

He's closer to Jazz than Predaking is to Megatron, at least.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Especially since Prime Predaking's transformation is nothing like TM2 Megatron's.o.supreme wrote:As stylized as they are making Prime characters...it would be kind of crazy of we got a Prime Predaking heavy retool from TM2 Megatron in addition to the obvious/ easy Cryotek repaint.

Looks to me from these pics that he does have shoulder cannons, you can see them behind the windshield in the alt mode pic and in both of the back of the box renders, they just aren't deployed in the robot mode pic (where the back kibble seems to be oriented differently) and they're not necessarily big like, say, Skullgrin's back cannons.Tracytron54321 wrote:Crankcase: I was hoping the hood of the alt-mode would have made his big shoulder cannons and the reason we didn't see it in that earlier photo of him was just that it was a detachable accesory, like the designers or executives were worried that non-fans would find it ugly, so they designed it so it could be detached and become a pair of giant hand held guns instead.

Honestly? The only alt mode parts that end up in the "wrong" place on Legacy Knock Out's bot mode are the front tires and the doors, everything else is a match that just happens to be stylistically different. The only things that TM2 Megs and Prime Predaking share, meanwhile, are "is a dragon" and "has wings in both modes" (and even then, Predaking's wings compress down a good bit).o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Especially since Prime Predaking's transformation is nothing like TM2 Megatron's.o.supreme wrote:As stylized as they are making Prime characters...it would be kind of crazy of we got a Prime Predaking heavy retool from TM2 Megatron in addition to the obvious/ easy Cryotek repaint.

Agree to disagree. Knockout should have the front wheels hanging off his back and the doors on his forearms.

Ah I see them now, though they're still definitely smaller than they should be, and I think it would look better if he had the giant chunk of kibble behind his head like the G1 toy and G1 art.

On the new images it seems inferno has some blue shade in his middle section. Was that there before?

I think it could be doable if they replace his tail with his dragon head, rework Megs' dragon head and arm into clawed arms, and have the whole figure turn around backwards so his legs become the dragon's front legs and arms become the back legs. The tail can be formed from a large sword or something like a bunch of the original Predaking figures.

I'm surprised by the inclusion of TM2 Megatron, but very pleasantly so. I'm definitely adding that to my "wish list."
Inferno, though, that's going to be a buy-on-sight for me. "FOR THE ROYALTY - !"

Definitely pre-ordering Megs and Dead End. Possibly Inferno and Pointblank , not sure yet. Inferno still looks too cute for a fire Ant.
I'll maybe pick Crankcase if I see him later on sale.
Skulgrin probably not unless he's very discounted.
