A wave 2 figure in the Generations line (with WFC Megatron), Darkmount is meant to homage the Gen1 comic character, Straxus (who never had a toy).

In these pics, we see more red and gold in the figure (earlier pictures seemed to be rather dominant with the blue. I'm now liking the look of this toy in these colours.
(Wave 3 has Red Alert and WFC Soundwave, while Dirge is expected for Wave 4)
If Red Alert and WFC Soundwave are in Wave 3, who else is in Wave 2? So far we got WFC Megatron and Darkmount (who I think looks really cool as well), think it will include any of the others we have seen?
Just made up of Wave 1 bots we aleady have seen
Wave 2
2x Megatron (War for Cybertron)
2x Darkmount (Straxus)
2x Bumblebee (War for Cybertron)
2x Optimus Prime (War for Cybertron)
Wave 3
1x Megatron (War for Cybertron)
1x Darkmount (Straxus)
2x Soundwave (War for Cybertron)
2x Red Alert
1x Bumblebee (War for Cybertron)
1x Autobot Drift
Well that's crap. But at least I will have more money in my wallet.
tell me about it it has been a heavy month.Quote:

Now we wait for customisers to start posting up photos of "head in a bubble" Darkmount. :D
Mines been heavy with bills :p Only got WFC Prime, BB and Drift because I got some extra cash for my bday.Quote:

Straxus looks awesome. If only we had a detailed deluxe Blaster to go with him, to recreate the epic marvel covers!
I'll just use G1 Blaster. I prefer to use original G1 toys whenever possible anyway. ;)
I can't wait for this bloke, his alt mode looks awesome, his robot mode looks sweet especially with that head that reminds me of id Software's Quake 2 Tank Commander Head and his weapon really sets him off.
Tree stumps will falter in the path of Straxus. :p
Certainly the pick of the litter, and since he doesn't have a "popular" name, he might shelfwarm, meaning more Straxus glory for us!
The figure looks good, but I'm a bit concerned about the ankle area (just looks a little flimsy) and how well the figure would stand.
Yea it does look a bit worrying. But it could be super tght. Just have to see their QC :rolleyes:Quote:

Would love to have an impactor figure now please, then maybe a good nightbeat toy.
Im not feeling those ankles... other than that the toy is awesome... erm so he's just a deluxe as well ei? hmm wouldve been nice if he were Voyager sized. Ah well as long as he's not shortpacked:) The official pics doesnt seem too photoshopped which is good, I think.

On topic, once I realised Darkmount = Straxus, I fell in love.
Looks like Straxus is the one to get out of the next Wave :D
here's a non-photoshopped image of the alternate mode, courtesy of a Taobao auction of the figure
Does anyone know roughly when Waves 2 and 3 are coming out? Because I'd like to allow my wallet to bolster up before then :D
