Not gonna lie.. this really bums me out. I have yet to find wave 3 deluxes and now it looks like Triggerhappy is the basis for 4 figures now. Man, going the miles...

It looks like the legs and hands are exactly the same as triggerhappy but as far as I can tell everything else is different

Well dang! If they're as good as Triggerhappy himself, I'll be glad to pick these up!

Huh, interesting. So it looks like Triggerhappy's legs were reused for both, but Misfire and Slugslinger share a newly tooled part: the waist piece.

Oh cool, they did the Japanese Decepticon Logo on these two
Now i'm happy to hear them they're revealed,
Still, no Autobot Targetmasters, but the Decepticon Targetmasters got more better~

Ooh they look nice. Definitely getting Misfire to go with Krok despite the incredibly derpy headsculpt. Give me my Spinister and Crankcase dangit! A Fulcrum would be nice too but that won't happen. Not gonna lie I bet the 3 Decepticon Targetmasters would make for a bad@ss trio, kinda want all three.

Purty.
I'm a little disappointed that Misfire's two pink plastic colors don't line up too well since it makes him look a little cluttered color-wise (though I'm sure it'll be a lot less noticeable in the final), but Slugslinger just looks absolutely delish. Even if they have Triggerhappy's legs, they look different enough that I'm really looking forward to getting these two!
(And yep, looks like Slugslinger has a central cockpit and two fake ones - and it worked out pretty well IMO!)

Although Triggerhappy is easily the best Deluxe so far in the whole line, and possibly the best figure, using him that many times is just wrong.
So much for getting away from the curse of the Combiner Wars...

"cue"
And I was wrong in the end. Triggerhappy being used for both is quite the surprise.

... and why is Misfire so PINK?

from the ozformers fb page
Thanks to Hasbro once gain - the Titanmaster names will be the same as their 80s Nebulons. Misfire has Aimless and Slugslinger has Caliburst. (disclaimer - the names could change at any time before release)

Interesting that Seaspray and Cosmos' cards show them in vehicle mode, rather than robot like everyone else so far (I think). I wonder if there's a reason for that?

At least three of those uses are for the Decepticon Targetmasters. I'm not trying to defend the mold reuse but it does give it a nice uniformity to them.

Eh. I'm probably going to buy them since they're heavy retools and not straight-up repaints (coughcoughmetalhawk), but I can still be disappointed.

And I mean, they're all distinct toolings and each has a very distinctive look and silhouette. Yeah it's not fantastic to see the same legs over and over (even though as Jelze pointed out, very little else seems to be shared with Triggerhappy, especially engineering-wise) - but it's way better than Dead End next to Brake-neck next to Streetwise next to Prowl next to Smokescreen next to Dustup next to G2 Dead End next to G2 Brake-neck (maybe with Club Bluestreak in there too just for extra effect).

I agree. It does bum me out that they are retools. Here's another thought I had:
Wave 3 deluxes: still haven't seen them. really pissed over this.
Wave 4: no one in sight yet. And people have been finding them for a while now.
Wave 5: Windblade is a retool, Twintwist is a retool, Blitzwing and Octone are slight retools, Overlord is a retool, Ramhorn is a retool for goodness sake. Everyone in wave 5 save Seaspray is a retool or re-release, and if Misfire and Slugslinger are in wave 6, that starts wave 6 off with retools too.
I'm starting to get generations line burned out...

I don't consider them retools at all, all that's shared are the legs, maybe parts of the arms and of course the Titan Master as per usual (kind of reminds me of RotF Cannon Bumblebee). Everything else is original tooling.
