    And the hunt begins anew.
    Only want Snarl, but it's at least something to look for.

    Finally Snarl.

    That's sad this is the last wave....still better than not having things that were supposed to come out and get cancelled.

    Did they lose the trademark to "Tracks?"

    Or maybe they wanted to keep the trademark for "Hot Shot".

    Y'know, this is not G1 2.0, they can name these toys whatever they want.

    They fixed the paint apps on Tracks/Hot Shot's head: the white now goes along further down the cheeks compared to the prototype.

    This fixes the 'problem' Hasbro Crosshairs has: that his face look chubby, but it looked even worse on Tracks. Yay for change!

    Just whom was the bright idea of placing an ugly repaint of Crosshairs instead of Stinger?

    I preordered the wave at BBTS, but I'll probably just keep Snarl and Bee and get rid of the third one...

    Anyone else feeling underwhelmed? I'm not sure I even care about these anymore, given how slow they've been to hit shelves. I get it: Hasbro had some 1-steps and Power Battlers to pimp. And some non-converting titans. And Potato head crossovers. And Hero Mashers.

    Look, let's just step away from the core toys and keep going in this direction. I'm sure it'll work out in the long run.

    (Honestly, why not make a separate property for the Hero Mashers? Seems like a great idea for a new show where the hero can swap out his parts, a la Mega Man, in order to stomp the bad guys!).
