    I am not sure if this is news, but I just bought RID Groundbuster (Groundpounder) at a TRU in Virginia.

    If this is not news, moderators feel free to delete.

    Bisk isn't actually in this wave.

    There's a wave with Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime (new packaging style), Ratchet (new packaging style), Night Ops Bumblebee (new packaging style), Blizzard Strike Drift and Groundbuster.

    And then there's a wave with Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime (new packaging style), yellow wave 1 Bumblebee (new packaging style), Blizzard Strike Drift, Groundbuster and Bisk.

    They had Bisk as well. I passed on him because I'm waiting on the Warrior class.

    They may have had a yellow Bumblebee. They were mostly Drift (two different colors), Windblade, and a lot of Bisks. I bought the only Groundpounder.

    We definitely need a larger version of Groundpounder. The guy reminded me of Zoids Iron Kong.

    Probably going to get Groundpounder but then again I wanted to get Clampdown but couldn't pull the trigger and get him. Want a Simacore repaint.

    The old version is in the original RID packaging style, the new version is in the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" subline imprint packaging style.

    I found this wave at a Walmart in Houston, TX this morning and can confirm the case ratio is the following:

    Bisk X 2
    Blizzard Strike Drift X 1
    Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime X 2
    Bumblebee (yellow wave 1 repack) X 2
    Groundbuster X 1

    The store put out 2 cases from what I saw.

    I also got wave 2 Titan Masters at a ToysRUs this morning too.

    I'm surprised they didn't make a Warrior version?

    He and Simacore share the same design, an easy two-for that mold with some retooling.
