    Like Cyclonus and Shattershot?

    We might get some extras in WFC, especially at the Legend scale which seems to be its own thing. Otherwise we have seen every mass retail market release for POTP. Hasbro all but confirmed that at Toy Fair. Three Waves, plus Novastar. End. This is a 12 month line, not 18 months like CW and TR.

    Really, really hoping that what's happening is things getting shuffled around. Novastar in wave 3 because other deluxes are getting put in a fourth wave. Four remaining Prime Masters to complete the line (hopefully Longtooth, Finback, Bugly, and Waverider...I'll be pissed if Waverider is the Toraizer of this line). Of course, there's zero evidence, and I'm just sad because I'm only now starting to feel like I'm getting to know the line and fully appreciate it.

    I do wish people at shows would ask better questions. Two appearances by Cutthroat with a Wildfly head, and no one has said a word to Warden.

    Lastly, how hilarious and/or patronizing would OUTBACK debuting in Australia be? "Got a new legends figure premiering right here, MATE." Cringe.

    Haven\'t watched BW, YET, but I\'m still buying Primal. Already have Wave 1-2 pretenders, son better finish them off; I also really love how Bludgeon looks. And I\'m always open to more fembots, so I\'m getting Firestorm. After that, there\'s the rumored exclusives, Predaking, and that\'s it?

    I still can't believe this is how POTP will end.

    So Primal hoverbored/Cybetronion transport is his pre Beast wars mode.

    Im really happy there is a official release on this. I was always wondering what they looked like before they got to earth.

    My bad, I didn't know that. So what are the Deluxes and Voyagers for wave 3 and 4 aside from Firestar and the Terrorcons (sounds like a great band name)?

    Good to know. I know they didn't use to do that, at least with Star Wars and GI Joe, but I don't even know if that's still the case with Star Wars, to be honest.

    I don't think BotCon exclusivity means anything anymore. Hasbro could likely release the exact same molds at this point, if they wanted to. The fact that they let FunPub make those, however, means they weren't interested in that, as of a couple years ago. Maybe, maybe not things have changed?

    A good part of that was a combination of the line was not supposed to continue, at first, and the BotCon exclusivity did still play into matters back then.

    POTP just feels so.. unfinished. I wonder why they’re not making the line 18 months like pretty much every non-movie main line since Armada?

    Don't forget everyone, just FYI, this is NOT Beast Wars Optimus Primal, check out the bios, this is POTP Primal whom is inspired / based on IDW versions etc, different universe Primal, etc. I'm looking forward to the figure, he will be my holy grail
