Searching through the various sub-pages of the Hasbro website keeps giving up more listings of future Transformers, thanks to a TFW member.
Wave 3 Voyagers and Legends for Generations are...
Voyager - Hotspot (with art that uses the Classics Inferno mould, and a mistransformed vehicle mode with the Defensor head showing), Cyclonus (looking very nice from the top).
Legends - Viper, Groove, Warpath.
Looks like Cyclonus has 2 little fins in his hands while in Jet-mode that parts form for robot mode. They looks like they could be easily used as daggers (and also easily lost.....)
Cyclonus is looking pretty drab with the paint apps from the prototype gone. The alt mode is still hella sexy though. Groove looks sweet, as does Hot Spot, though I wish they hadn't used that art.

Good pick up, I didn't notice at first. Agree with Ampoldj it does indeed look like GDO Hotspot! At least the packaging art reflects the toy. By the way these all look fantastic.Quote:

The more I see of Cyclonus the more I'm convinced I'm better off sticking with my Generations one.
Which paint apps? That bit of orange from his stomach? Or adding the silver under his head?Quote:

I hate to say this. I find the deluxes to have very bland decos, not having painted rims on the wheels is not helping. In vehicle mode they just don't stand out, like wave 1 and 2. As robots they are ok. I suppose the fact that they all are repaints except for Rook, doesn't really help either.
I'm keen to find out how Takara is going to deal with these. Will they keep Rook? Is it possible, would they include a new mold to have Groove as a motorcycle for one of the limbs on Defensor? I would say there is a slim chance. It would be out of scale but I don't care in this case :D
Definitely wait for the Japanese versions for a possibly better/accurate colouring.Quote:

I actually like how they are all red, white, blue and black. I think wave 3 is the best out of all of them.
