    I was pretty interested in this stuff until it ended up being straight up G1 designs again. Nothing bores me faster than that.

    I can't believe we have to wait until September for their release.

    My local game store got Soundwave and Arcee in. They didn't know when Ironhide and Laserbeak/Rumble are coming though.

    It's interesting just how much Soundwave is modeled after the MP. Not just the shoulder and knee details, but the elbow joints, the detail on his butt, even the hinges on the sides of his legs.

    Has anyone posted pictures of these next to cw combiners or city mode titans? Im just wondering if they would look cool displayed together in a diorama.

    I don't have any combiner wars figures but here's a couple of Titans.

    I decided to go looking for updates since it's been over a year since the first two figures of Wave 2 released and I was wondering if there'd been any news on Ironhide and Laserbeak/Frenzy. On Wizkids' site, there doesn't seem to be any mention of the remaining figures at all, let alone a release date and I can't find any other news. That's disappointing. I wonder if the line has been cancelled or it's just on an extended hiatus due to covid or whatever. If anybody has any additional information, let us know. I was really hoping this line would go far.

    I'm wondering if the new D20 RPG coming out made a difference. It could be that the minis licensing was transferred to the new company and Hasbro pulled the plug on Wizkids for now.

    I hadn't considered that. Looks like RenegadeStudio does make at least some minis so it's entirely possible. For some reason I thought Wizkids was owned by Hasbro (Hasbro owns WotC and I had it in my head that Wizkids was owned by them) but it turns out they're owned by NECA.

    If that's the case, that's extremely annoying. Wizkids makes very nice minis and I was loving the G1 style. The RenegadeStudio rulebook shows what I believe to be Evergreen designs on the cover so I'm not super optimistic that they'd be making G1 style minis.

    Probably not.

    My preference for Minis is just using the legion/legends class figures anyway. Unless you're using DnD/Pathfinder 1-inch square maps for your gaming, these work the best IMO.

    Sure but I didn't have any intention of using them for gaming. I just wanted the minis.
