What's behind these guys? There should be two more right?
Adding Hot Rod to my wanted list! Another bot to even out the team if I ever find Wolfwire.

I can only make out a couple Chromedomes behind these guys, but the other two deluxes in Wave 3 are Breakaway (aka Getaway; this new toy being a redeco of Chromedome with a new head) and Twinferno (aka Doublecross).

Highbrow or getaway/doublecross

Certainly wanna get Hot Rod. Maybe Doublecross/Twinferno.
Cetainly wave 2 Wolfwire. Maybe Chromedome.
Not to keen on that white Getaway CD repaint honestly...
Triggerhappy looks boring. I'd rather have Brainstorm if he will be available in the EU.
Highbrow and Mindwipe are okay, not sure about them.
So that means 1 bot and 1 con from each wave
A Belgian store is now selling Wave 1 for €19,99 each, a month after I bought them from the SAME store for about €24 each
I'll keep an eye on them though. I hope they'll get wave 2 and 3 soon too.

mindwipe is great. highbrow is good if you get a tight head
Posted by NovamusPrime3 on November 23rd, 2016 @ 12:10pm CST
what I can see I do believe it is getaway because doublecross/twinferno has red shoulders where as the package we see has white shoulders hence I do believe that it is getawayBumblebee21 wrote:Who is that in the rid warrior toys.

Talk to the hand
Spark gear molding on his chest
Cool storage for his guns and headmaster

Heh. You're right! xD
Well, if I add him to the list, that means I need another autobot... Might mean I need to really find Brainstorm now.

Well, there's still three waves of deluxes to go after the Triggerhappy/Hot Rod one. So you've got a lot of choice.
In particular, one Wave 4 deluxe has already been revealed.

In actuality, he has so many toys at this point that I'd expect him not to brag about mere deluxes.
...actually no. He has all the right to brag about THESE guys!

I'm going over to Helena for Black Friday shopping with family and I was hoping to find at least one of them.

I've spotted ONE shop that has Wheelie, Stripes and the tank legend (Frenzie? Rumble?), Galvatron, and another shop has Blaster and Soundwave and the four wave 1 Deluxes.
And they asked €15,99 for Wheelie... Chrissakes... Online you may have more luck, but those sell out fast.
Question though: Bombshell was a C.W. Legend. Kickback is a T.R. Legend. What's Shrapnel going to be?
And why did they make Chop Shop into a C.W. Legend, but not the other 3 (formerly Deluxe) G1 insecticons?
In both series, the Legends don't seem to really be "part" of the gimmick:
- in C.W. they didn't all combine, with the exception of the Blackjack/Rodimus mold, the Groove Legend mold, and the three guns (Shockwave, Bombshell, umm the red airplane?) and I really think only Shockwave was a good gun option.
The rest was just a seperate robot (Warpath, Chop Shop, the seeker guy (skywarp?), some cars/trucks etc)
- in T.R. they aren't headmasters.
So most of these seem to be a seperate line of robots, which makes me wonder why they chose to put some in the CW line and others in the TR line. Especially splitting up groups like the insecticons.
In the end it might not matter at all, since they seem to be seperate like I said, and they are all the same size, it's just a bit weird.

we could use an updated one tho

Shrapnel was actually a Legends class in the line before Combiner Wars; Thrilling 30.
Chop Shop's a new head redeco of him, hence why Chop Shop gets a toy and his comrades don't.
Every legend in TR actually interacts with the gimmick - the headmasters can sit in their vehicle modes or have some other form of interaction. Kickback in particular has the Titan Master stand in his cockpit in beast mode.

No, that was Kickback. Shrapnel, as "Skrapnel", came out after Generations FOC during Generations Thrilling 30.Bumblebee21 wrote:shrapnel is already out he came out in foc

Shrapnel, as Skrapnel, was a Thrilling 30 release.
And why did they make Chop Shop into a C.W. Legend, but not the other 3 (formerly Deluxe) G1 insecticons?
Because Chop Shop was an easy retool of Skrapnel while the other deluxe Insecticons would require new molds.

- in C.W. they didn't all combine, with the exception of the Blackjack/Rodimus mold, the Groove Legend mold, and the three guns (Shockwave, Bombshell, umm the red airplane?) and I really think only Shockwave was a good gun option.

What do you mean? The CW legends that didn't combine had the very important job of "making the combiners look huge and not getting stepped on". They sell the scale.
But seriously, the entire Generations line is rebranded even if not all figures fit into the gimmick. That's just how it is. Don't think too hard about it, just enjoy the cool toys.
- in T.R. they aren't headmasters.
No, but they are vehicles for Titan Masters. Every TR Legends figure has a cockpit or at least some posts for a Titan Master to sit in/stand on, which is more than CW did.
So most of these seem to be a seperate line of robots, which makes me wonder why they chose to put some in the CW line and others in the TR line. Especially splitting up groups like the insecticons.
In the end it might not matter at all, since they seem to be seperate like I said, and they are all the same size, it's just a bit weird.
Hasbro wants to diversify what's available in each line, which means spacing out distinctive characters like the purple insect transformers. And if they hadn't spaced them out, we wouldn't get Kickback with a cockpit for Titan Masters, which is pretty darn cool.

He had an opening chestplate in G1 too and so did the other 2 IIRC. It's cool that it fits titanmasters now though.
Posted by Cobotron on November 24th, 2016 @ 12:56pm CST
Also Legends are just a cool class of fun toys!
And if you get REAL creative, you can combine most Legends with the Combiners. You just gotta BELIEVE!

I know, it was a holdover from their days as Diaclone piloted mechs, so it's cool that at least one of them gets it back in their modern toys.

*(Don't get confused as I said Deluxe it's what he was called 30 or so years ago).

I was wondering does TR Rumble still have those arms that don't transform without scaring you that they want to snap off ?
I think they should fix them if they ever get around to doing Eject & Frenzy too.
I'm a little concerned that Titans Returns is going to have more incomplete sets than any Transformers line in history as it is.

I'm pretty sure an alternate head is built in already, "just in case". In fact, Bombshell may have one too.
You did get names mixed up: the grasshopper is Ransack, and the rhinoceros beetle is Barrage. If Chop Shop did well enough in popularity (he got two releases already!), the rest shouldn't be far behind. Too bad there's no analog for Venom the cicada (by the by, they don't sting at all!).

You're down under, that's different. You got Redbacks, the US got Black Widows and Brown Recluses, Europe has... cute and harmless Garden Spiders
Posted by Noideaforaname on November 24th, 2016 @ 9:59pm CST
Also, I want to say Bombshell could reasonably be retooled into Venom --similar squat li'l bugs with similar transformation schemes-- except the legs/abdomen would get in the way of any wings...

They have been getting them early since wave 1, this isnt new. US got them 1-2 months after Australia (at retail).

? Since when was the UK finding TR early?

I think the last thing we had early was wave 1 of Combiner Wars
