Power of the Primes Wave 1 Voyagers and Prime Masters found at US retail

I've been blind for not noticing Grimlock's "Dinobot" prefix. Don't worry, it's a separate trademark, probably for consistency across the other Dinobots who do require prefixes. Think we can expect the same for the Terrorcons?

... and think unified subgroups are called out now?

Got grimlock and daaaaaaaamn he’s good. Very solid and has beefy ratchets. The gauntlets work worryingly well and give off a more savage vibe than a sharpened sword. The torso doesn’t fall apart unless you actively try and take him out of the mode. He’s gotten a fairly bad rap but but isn’t nearly as bad as some people claim he is imo.

How solid is the connection of his gold robot chest piece in dinomode?

Yeah, it looks like the team combiners are getting their subgroup names attached to their individual names, as the Terrorcons looks to have "Terrorcon" prefixes on them too.

Yup, they all do, working on that right now

But it remains to be seen if they're all separate trademarks or not. From official Hasbro use, only Sinnertwin seems to not require a prefix out of the Terrorcons, which is... ironic, with Prime Twinstrike

Where would be a good place to start... the Pretenders, the "Duocons", the Dinobots?

Including leaders? If you have a picture that would be front page news right away.

TF fan Nevermore has informed us of several new listings on Amazon.com for Transformers Power of the Primes. Most of these are placeholder listings, especially for wave 3 toys. But for the wave 2 deluxes, we are treated to high resolution images we previously only saw with a watermark, along with the number of steps. The full listings available will be posted below. The real fun part of the remaining placeholder listings is that we get a confirmation of all the toys leaked earlier this year along with confirmation of their names. For instance, we now know for certain that we will get an "Outback" (to hell with you Steakhouse!) along with the following corrections nevermore pointed out:
- The Battletrap component included in Legends Class wave 2 is named "Battleslash", not "Battleclash" as some people mistakenly read from the Hasbro leak.
- Tailgate having the same Hasbro product code number as Roadtrap was an error. Roadtrap is really E1158, while Tailgate is actually E1159.

Sadly I didn't see any Leaders, But I guess I should've thought to take a Picture, I was too excited to actually FIND them available.
However all the Legends, Prime Masters, and Deluxes were there for certain. I was actually trying to see anything related to the Prime1 Studios Onslaught, sadly Nothing new has happened since It was teased.

No worries, when I was talking of pictures I meant for the leaders. So since they werent there, its all good.

I guess vampires will have to go elsewhere for their rare meat.

They could be trying to avoid problems with Subaru.

Subaru as in the car manufacturer? *does some googling* Ooooooooooooooo, the 2018 Subaru Outback! Good call!

Darkwing looks aderpable but I suspect its more the original design than this specific toy. I'm just glad he can act as a combiner limb in addition to the combination with Dreadwind. If only because I want to assign these two as limbs for Nova Prime/BC Optimus should I want to display him in combined mode.

I just hope we get more stand-alone decepticons in later waves to give him (or any spare torso such as Starscream) a complete limb set.

Edit: You know what? With some way to attach a Titan Master port and some new beast head piece, Rippersnapper would make a great body for Squeezeplay/Cancer/Crashbash.
