The translated text reveals that in this outcome, she becomes the leader of the Predacons. But what had people really talking when aronjlove posted this on Twitter was the obscure Beast Wars characters that were featured on the card art... along with art of an unexpected TF: Prime Predaking toy redeco!?
Further, our own Dominus Prime has pointed us to a post on the TFW2005 boards showing a new variant of a Dinobot card from a Wave 3 figure.
Whether this is just a "this could happen" variant, or an actual show spoiler for the upcoming Kingdom cartoon, this card sure shows an interesting upgrade(?) to Dinobot. In case this is a spoiler, his translated card text reads "Becomes a Herald of Unicron"
Have you found any new variant cards in the (slowly trickling out) Wave 3 Kingdom figures you've managed to find? Let us know!

Personally I'd have preferred a modern redesign of this Thrustor figure, than the one on the card.

And someone does the combined mode with tricranius, curious if that would look better or too out of place

That is my plan. Combine Wingfinger with Tricranius and Transmutate for a faction aligned combiner. I'll do the same for Paleotrex, Ractonite and the inevitable Wingfinger (hopefully Predacon) repaint.

I was just gonna combine paleotrex and Wingfinger with tricranius because I don't really like ractonite

This? Like that's his chest at the bottom and that's his head at the top? That doesn't look right. I thought the bits at the top was rocks.

The insect head at the bottom of what you circled is the alt mode head of buzzclaw (or something like that) as mentioned above

Same. I mean, other than Waspinator, he's the only other character in this pic who NEEDS a new toy!

Wingfinger is a MUST if you have Paleotrex and Ractonite. Three words: Hidden Combiner Head.

Hidden in the side of the insert. They're easy to miss.

I know that, I mean which wave of figures. If these are variants of the original BA and Dino cards, as it's implied in this article, what releases will they be with?

Wave 3. There are set characters and destinies for each wave, but which figure gets what is random.

I'm still a bit bothered that he's a different faction from the other guys. Hopefully they release a version of him so we can have a same-faction Combiner (aside from the one with Transmutate and Tricranius).Jelze Bunnycat wrote:MGrotusque wrote:Everyone balked at Wingfinger when his images were released.

Damn, he really doesn't have the shoulder cannon port. Hasbro and Takara screwed up. I'm going to stick with my Siege version, or kitbash the Siege and Kingdom versions together to make a better Mirage, though I think the blue plastics, unfortunately, don't match up quite perfectly. I'll have to see them in person to make a judgment. All they really had to do was get rid of the transparent plastic and change the alien markings from the Siege version.

I guess the black putty from netflix spoilers is going to come in handy for sticking Mirages shoulder cannon on.

Not found in the wild, but one of the BBTS early shipments.

Whoever took that picture rotated them around so that the inner shoulder piece would be in the correct position. You can tell because the actual outer part of the shoulder is technically "backwards" what with the pinhole being exposed, though that's really the only difference and it's not a huge deal.

It wouldn't be the first "mixed" combiner, and I'm not talking about Scrambles:
Still, a Predacon Dactyl would be nice. Tricranius and to a lesser extent Transmutate are on the list though.

True but they are mostly heroic characters (or at least morally ambiguous), and their rival is purely evil, so I county them as heroic .

This will be my first (& only) WfC Sideswipe mold.
I won’t keep Skywarp... But I’m way happier with the look of this Sideswipe than ER Mirage.

Well, for anyone who wanted a bot that is part of a combiner that doesn't combine...there ya go! I think a ton of fans who have waited for a proper Earthmode Sideswipe are going to be selling off their Skywarps on the secondary market.

I still got Kingdom Magnus and all the ER Datsuns and minivans. I cancelled Kingdom Mirage since he was missing the shoulder missile port. I'm torn on Sideswipe: arguably the best version for my collection, but am I going to get $50 worth of fun from him?
Posted by Overcracker on June 1st, 2021 @ 12:34pm CDT
Loving the earth mode Sideswipe, and Skywarp is not bad either.
Posted by blackeyedprime on June 1st, 2021 @ 12:35pm CDT
Keeping classics for now though I'll probably end up with the KO sunstreaker (if hasbro never reissue him) at some point as the g1 duo are still the best non Mp versions.
Skywarp looks like he scalped a bird whish is pretty true to the original but he doesnt make it on my cool noncombining combiners list and seems a bit pointless.
*also a bit dull that it's continuing the good guy vs good guy trend intead of hero/villain.
