Our first bit of info regarding Transformers Hero Mashers Wave 3 is here, thanks to Entertainment Earth.
Judging by the info on the listing, the Wave seems to focus on the upcoming animated series Transformers: Robots In Disguise.
Product Description:
Build a robot! The Transformers Hero Mashers Action Figures Wave 1 includes several plastic action figures with swappable parts – you can mix and match heads, arms, legs, and weapons in these non-transforming action figures. Each figure measures approximately 8-inches tall. Ages 4 and up. Case includes 12 individually packaged figures:
- 4x TRA HM BUMBLEBEE
- 2x TRA HM SIDESWIPE
- 2x TRA HM STEELJAW
(subject to change)

I think RiD was an essential series in it's day. Yeah, it was super cheesy, but it brought Transformers back to vehicles, and pulled it out of the depressing (but in my opinion incredible) Beast Machines hole.
I wouldn't mind seeing a few RiD designs in the future for hero mashers.

I can tell you and I aren't going to get along

Very cool news. At least the line isn't cancelled, which means there's hope for other stuff.

It says that because that Optimus figure comes with a part of Ultra Magnus so you can 'mash' it with Optimus. It indicates there likely won't be an Ultra Magnus Hero Masher.
REMINATOR
Bummer, ever since the Optimus masher box ads, "Mash-up with Ultra Magnus", I have been looked out for him. Wave 1, nope….wave 2, nope….and now wave 3, nope. Damn, another BBee……..

Long time fans are adults, this is a kids toy line. It makes more sense to bring out figures for the new show rather than characters that most kids have no idea about.

I'd be interested to see how the Steeljaw and Sideswipe look, but not that interested in Bumblebee.

I wasn't expecting any, but then again, I wasn't expecting this line to last into next year. These could be tempting, especially Sideswipe. I'd love to see Mr. Mooseman in this line.
Complete oposite for me. I vaguely remember Beast Wars and Beast Machines, but RID is what got me into the Transformers franchise. I'd absolutely love to see more nods and references to it.

Total disappointment. I hate these designs. I can't stand the animated look of them. Hasbro keeps going in the opposite direction of the long time fans. I loved the Spinger & Rodimus figures, Jetfire looked good, Heatwave is awesome. Keep going in that direction. Add some more like a Junkion, or an Insecticon. Make Blurr or Cyclonus or someone from the IDW Robots In Disguise, but this new cartoon…no thanks.

I'm just glad that the franchise has utterly forgotten that "Car Robots" was ever a thing. Outside of the occasional convention exclusive, or random figure. I'm quite happy that chapter of Transformers lore is dead and buried.

Just as long as this wave sees the return of the ankle joint.

Bumblebee, the mechanically separated chicken of Transformers toy lines.
T-Hybrid
HERO MASHERS featuring 50% Bumblbee in EVERY case! Mash Bumblebee with Bumblebee, or Bumblebee and Bumblebee!
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
Shark Jumper
Forever never having AM Thundercracker Hero Masher : (
Grimwing
That does sound a bit overpacked for three characters.
hopefully the revisions gets expanded quickly.
Though The cons should provide some interesting and topical parts to Hero mashers.
I can picture popping Hammerstrikes Giant Sharky head on for a Laugh.
Grimlock64
Yeah, that's great.
Now do Sky-Byte.
DJW107PRIME
Aw to bad there not doing Strongarm in this wave she'd be a perfect masher.
Chromia76
Oh my gosh, YES!!! THAT'S what we need is more Bumblebee! They shouldn't even bother putting Sideswipe and Steeljaw in the case. And the next Wave should be a "stealth" redeco of Bumblebee in black.
In other words, I am sick to death of the yellow plague. I'm glad IDW killed him off.
SouthtownKid
I don't think I'm ever going to see RID is a thread title and not first think "Car Robots," then IDW comics, before I ever think of the upcoming tv show.

I found on Entertainment Earth that wave 3 includes RiD characters Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Steeljaw
