Tiny Changers wave 3

[griffin]

A possible list of the Tiny Changers (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/03/16/bumblebee-movie-tiny-turbo-changers-character-listing-revealed-360918) that could be coming out next month under the Bumblebee Movie banner...




Barricade
Sentinel Prime
Phantom Strike Lockdown
Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Evac
Autobot Ratchet
Bumblebee
Sky Rage Starscream
Autobot Drift
Ironhide
Autobot Dino
Dinobot Slug



Looks like 7 or 8 could be redecos, with only about four being new moulds.

Images of these new Tiny Changers have been found, and they don't have the Bumblebee Movie on them, and say series 3... so these are just Generic Movie Tiny Changers.

Evac ended up being a car, not the helicopter (for the Universal Studios ride Autobot, but doesn't look anything like him).
Ratchet is new, but for a limited paint budget, they painted the front bumper and I think it looks really bad.
Bumblebee is a re-release, now released in all three waves unchanged.
Optimus on the other hand is the same mould as the previous two waves, but at least is a redeco, with the colours of the TF4 Silver Knight Optimus.
And Barricade is a new mould to match the TF1 version (the previous version was the TF5 Barricade).

These have been found in Thailand (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/03/31/transformers-movie-edition-tiny-turbo-changers-series-3-spotted-thailand-retail-361636), released a bit earlier than expected (April 20th), and the good news is that they have the little window at the back like the first two waves had.
It isn't easy to use, but helps find certain figures if you want to go to the trouble of slowly moving the contents around inside the bag to see the colour or shapes of the toy inside.

A case of the wave 3 Tiny Changers have been acquired by a fan on Seibertron, and they have posted up photos from the box to show the official images of the robot modes (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-tiny-turbo-changers-series-3-robot-mode-images/41068/), the toys out of packaging in both modes (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-of-transformers-tiny-turbo-changers-series-3/41071/), and the letters printed on the back to help work out who is inside the pack (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-tiny-turbo-changers-series-3-packaging-and-codes-to-tell-which-figure-is-in-each-pack/41067/) (copied below).
