    I picked up Grimlock today, can confirm, the crown is removable, and can be worn in both modes. And most of the 28 steps are involved in transforming the legs, which are reminiscent of some Third party figures, actually having the legs top and bottom, rather than side to side

    Yes, 3 waves, lame. I’ll be getting wave 2 soon soon and see how Macaddam looks afterward.

    considering it took them this long to make cyberverse toys with proper articulation?
    it might very well kill them.

    Hold on. That means there's going to be a third and fourth wave of new molds? Well. That's a silver lining scenario right there.

    Yup, don't really give a fig for a non-transforming add-in. My interest is in the toys that do transform, and getting more than just 8 of them.

    Given wave 2 only has 2 new molds (Grimlock and Hot Rod)

    There’s no guarantee that wave 3 and 4 would have 4 new molds each, or even any new molds besides what we already know.

    The 8 Macadam figures could be the only new molds for all of the 4 waves.

    I know I’m hoping for more deluxe figures too. But I don’t want to get my hopes up in case these 8 are all we get.

    It’s possible a second build a figure will be in those waves. But right now all we know for sure is

    wave 1
    Optimus
    Megatron
    Bumblebee
    Shockwave

    wave 2
    Hot Rod
    Grimlock

    future wave(s)
    Arcee
    Thunderhowl

    hopefully toy fair will show us Arcee and Thunderhowl and give us more information on the potential of more future molds/ build-a-figures

    Well....I'm not interested in waiting forever on this line Hasbro, so either get your stuff out or you'll lose me with this line as easily as you got me to buy into it.

    It's not like in other lines we get new waves of entirely new figures without repacks every couple months.
    Still, I understand how it can feel more frustrating here with people holding onto a bunch of Maccadam parts they can't finish yet.

    Hot Rod's panel arms look worse in person than the camera angles in the renders. Going to fiddle around with the wave 2 figures some more before posting in CAT. The blast effects are really nice, however, as they're actually transparent and not translucent.

    So those dates for Grimlock and Hot Rod are way off; they're on the shelves right now, instead of May (I presume those are US-style dates, mm/dd/yyyy). So what are the chances that Arcee and Thunderhowl's dates are also way off?
