While we are still yet to have Wave 1 in all our stores here, the third wave is now being released globally - the Deluxe wave 3 has three figures, Dreadwing (new mould), Ratchet (heavily remoulded mould), and Skystalker (new beast mould).
A Dreadwing gallery can be seen here.
And a Skystalker gallery can be seen here.
Does Hasbro just not care anymore?
:D ...so true...what the hell is skystalker transformation..just open the mouth:eek: :rolleyes:Quote:

Regret purchase.
Aside from Predaking , Shockwave and Smokescreen, I'm finding the Beast Hunters line so far very unimaginative and uninspiring. It almost feels like now that the animated TF Prime series is coming to a close (maybe) with this 3rd season Hasbro are not bothering to put much effort into the merchandise for this line.
Perhaps their figure creators are busy working on the next incarnation of the franchise?
That is terrible. This is not motivating me to watch the show:(
I don't mind Skystalker to be honest. I don't like most of the main cast retools or the ones that are getting new deluxe figures. Dreadwing should have been called Jiaxhus and given that colour scheme. Bulkhead, Brawn...
That you're no longer eight? No, they don't funnily enough.Quote:

Dreadwing's feet reminds me of Darkwing's :)

Agreed they are pretty basic, the retools are quiet disappointing and have been looking on the shelves at a few and IMO some of the paint appears just real sloppy. Like the dragon aspect of this line so I'll probably just collect them and might wait for the Japanese line O.p and Shockwave.
Have you seen Grimwing?Quote:

Not trolling here, but I can't see anything wrong with Skystalker.
Its a childrens toy, and you always need for a children's line to include simpler, more basic toys for children to buy. There are more complex, collector oriented lines like Generations, but the show is about flying dragons and beasts so its kind of stretching creduility for adults anyway.
I've ordered a case from RK, and the only regret I have is that I will have to sell off a couple ratchets that I have no interest in. I suspect Ratchet will be the pegwarmer, not the beasts.
I might end up grabbing Dreadwing, since I didn't get the Voyager version of him (even if his new robot mode does look like the TF version of a peacock) but as stated in other threads - weird monster bots don't interest me so Skystalker is a definite miss
Ratchet is, ironically, one of my "must haves" for this line. Maybe DM me if you have a spare...?Quote:

Doesn't mean they can't make toys of him.Quote:
