Personally I'd want to see a bus, either a yellow schoolbus or a public transport modern bus design.

With wave2 barely available here, though, will it be a hunt to get them too.....?

I'm hoping that tampo has been fixed too, but it's probably going to be a while yet before we get solid confirmation one way or the other, honestly.

I've seen Jazz in stores recently, but I couldn't see where the tampo on him since his arms are packaged with the car kibble side facing the cardback away from sight, hiding that side behind the robot mode sides of his arm.Wolfman Jake wrote:DecepticonFinishline wrote:Jazz was repacked in to Wave 3.

The phrase has taken on a much more offensive meaning than what it was original intended for, so its presence on this toy, regardless of it being written in non-English letters, bothers people.Black Hat wrote:I doubt it'll have been "fixed". Not that it should be changed, really, it's such a minor detail and honestly the joke is pretty harmless. So Jazz is a Republican, so what? Perhaps he just respects people's right to free speech. Besides, he's obviously keeping it discreet in the form of a tiny Cybertronian decal on his door rather than pushing it in people's faces. Not like it's a gigantic logo slapped on his hood.
I mean, would you still feel that it was harmless if it had been something like the F-bomb or a derogatory insult word that had instead been written in Cybertronian letters?

You can get a look from the side of the bubble pack (the side that isn't textured, that is). You can't make out exactly what the lettering is, though, but you can see if the tampograph is the same, e.g., a black square with an Autobot insignia and four tiny "letters" below it. Honestly, I don't think we're gonna know what's what until someone is brave enough to buy a Wave 3 Jazz and open it up.

Exactly. The phrase has taken on a life of it's own and has become a kind of "catch all" slur of sorts the alt-right uses to attack practically anyone else. It can't be treated as a "harmless" political campaign slogan anymore.

There. Your Jazz is now DRUMPF-free and we can move on without spending 15 pages over this all over again.

It's not like this mess is Hasbro's fault so people don't need to not buy Jazz to 'make some sort of statement' as they themselves explained what happened. Just remove it from the toy yourself.

Would make more sense to use black paint or just a permanent Sharpie. It's a black square with white lettering below a white Autobot logo. And yes, it would be easy to do such, but I'd support Hasbro making this correction by buying another Jazz figure that doesn't need to be modified as such.

Discussing a PotP figure in the PotP topic isn't on topic? It was even in the news here.

Anyone else find it funny that a reasonable portion of fans are actually hoping for Hasbro to include 1 less paint app?

Prima in particular is the biggest offense because not only it's Prima, you know, the guy who started the very concept which would evolve into the Thirteen Primes but his Decoy Armor being Waverider mean if he doesn't get released then the Autobot Pretenders will be missing a core member.

It's a shame that those figures themselves have almost nothing to do with the actual 13 besides packaging name art and the vague symbol in their core forms.
This was an awesome way to bring the Pretenders back in their new revamped modern figures that homage their roots well.
This was also an extremely lame way to give most of the 13 their first figures that have just about have nothing to homage them.

Awesome? How is making them smaller and adding NO articulation (something virtually every modern update of a G1 character has enjoyed) awesome?
They could have kept them as deluxes, split the shell to fold open around the waist, add articulation, and upscale the Primes so they looked like actual robots instead of transforming boxes.
Hasbro dropped the ball on Pretenders.

Or even kept them the same size and just based the Prime Armor ebgineering off Repugnus, who at least has movable legs.
Honestly, i dont think the general market would have supported Deluxe Class Pretenders as the main "thing". Even the Clones are more costly than the DLX pricepoint, and ypu are talking aboyt a comperable size robot and a larger hunk of armor, so I have to agree that the size the Pretenders are is ptobably for the best, not to mention the relative scale they are close to human size for sone Deluxes and Voyagers.but I fully agree they are terribly, horribly exevuted.

Who, Repygnus? Yes. But the Armor concept is the same. Only, instead of being stretched out, you balled the Titn Master up and shoved them into Repugnus chest. It opened up the hips though so the legs could be a single, seperate piece. No reason the Prime Masters couldnt have done the same thing, and designed the chest plate to hinge at the belt instead of the knees. For added effect, you coukd even have left a hole in the bsck of the armor for the matrix plate to stick through, so that instead of attaching te Prime Master to the top of the armor for Gun mode, the Prime master was already integrated.
But what do I know?

Yes Wave 4 is the final wave. Novastar is the only new deluxe. No new Leader Class figure. Unknown on the Voyager, Legend and Prime Master classes yet, but doubtful there too.
