    Some of these were shown at Toy Fair, but this is the first good look at what appears to be the full Series 2 line-up.

    [​IMG]

    From the new Argos catalog, posted here by TFW2005 member Galva Prime.

    Hot Rod
    Barricade
    Green "Blackout" (Grindor?)
    Blue-ish "Starscream" (Thundercracker?)
    "Cogman" (?)
    Autobot Sqweeks
    Optimus Prime (currently unclear how this one is different from the Series 1 version; possibly darker blue?)
    Bumblebee (also currently unclear how this one is different from the Series 1 version; possibly a different Camaro alternate mode?)
    Megatron
    Shockwave
    Decepticon Berserker
    Autobot Drift (mystery red car from Toy Fair)

    EDIT: Scrap this edit. The above is correct.

    I loved, loved, loved collecting all of Series 1, I'm really excited for the next series! Its looking awesome, although a little heavy on the TLK side of things, when Wave 1 focused more on the previous movies which I really liked. I'm assuming that Starscream is Movie 1 Starscream, although the blue is a bit weird. Megatron, Squeeks and Shockwave look absolutely perfect, I love them! Optimus and Bumblebee look completely unchanged, paint apps are identical and that dark blue looks the same as the stock images for Wave 1 Optimus. Bumblebee is also still in his AOE Robot Mode so I doubt he has a new Camaro mode, so possibly these are just rereleases or placeholder images. A bit sad they didn't take the opportunity to release a Silver Knight Optimus and a Blue Drift, but not too tragic.

    I just hope these guys see release! Over here in Australia stores have reaaaaaaaaaaally overstocked on these cases. Toys R Us has about 7 already!

    I just realized there was also a Tiny Turbo Changers Brawl on display at Toy Fair, so maybe Optimus Prime and Bumblebee aren't actually included in Series 2.

    EDIT: No, there wasn't. Where did I pull that one from?

    Still waiting for my Walmart to put out Series 1

    But I will try to get them and Series 2. Especially since Wave 2 has a lot more characters I'd like to get such as Hot Rod, Barricade, Drift, Shockwave, & Cogman.

    Hot damn I need that Shockwave. His buddies could learn from him and his use of paint apps.

    Hot Rod looks like he could be in his Citroen mode, given the color scheme.

    Does Squweeks transform? If he does, that's some feat of trading figure engineering; he just looks like a normal PVC figure.

    I bet they call green Blackout "Springer". Colors remind me of the RotF legends figure.

    I remember seeing the name of Brawl floating around by some from the US Toyfair, but it was only a second Hound (at the front of the table) with the back kibble not folded down, so it looked to some like Brawl's tank-mode front skirting. And there were very few photos of the Tiny Turbo Changers table to get better angles to be obvious that it was Hound.

    I just got Optimus and Grimlock last night. Grimlock is fantastic but Optimus's arms fall apart very very easily. Such shit. Really sucks. Anybody else's Optimus have trouble holding together?

    These are kind of bad (in general). I got Blackout, and the helicopter blades don't actually rotate. :wtf: 
    It's not that difficult to do, but I guess metal pins are too expensive today...

    My son's Bumblebee popped off his hood piece during transformation, and now that's lost... Which is annoying, as it happened within 5 minutes of playing with the toy.

    I said it before and I'll say it again: buyer beware. Any legends-size toy without any pins or screws to help hold everything together is just destined to fall apart and get lost. Collectors are good about it, but don't expect kids to keep these in one piece for long. :rolleyes2
