Official Images of Wave 3 PowerCore Combiners

Hasbro has released official images of the Wave 3 PowerCore Combiners 2-packs and 5-packs, all of which are repaints of existing figures:

-Stakeout w/ Protectobots (repaint of Smolder and mixmatch of previous drones)
-Crankcase w/ Destrons (repaint of Huffer and mixmatch of previous drones)
-Windburn w/ Darkray (repaint of Searchlight and Caliburst)
-Steelshot w/ Beacon (repaint of Bombshock with Backwind)
-Darkstream w/ Razorbeam (repaint of Skyburst with Chopster)

Looks like those looking for PCC Stunticons will have to grab 2 5-packs - Motormaster Crankcase there has a plane, a helicopter, a missile tank, and a humvee.

Repaints already?

There being a repaint already doesn't suprise me.

There being a wave of just repaints and not a single new mould is what suprises me.

On the plus side they look pretty average.

My wallet just breathed a sigh of releaf

I think after grabbing all of Wave 1, even though I said I wouldn't -- Wave 3 does not impress at all. Mainly because I know of the flaws of each of the toys..

If Windburn is as metallic as those pics he'd be nice, but otherwise nothing great.

However the idea of having armies of drones is kinda cool, now if only they would have done the same kind of thing for the Energon drones...

We can always hope! :p

Man those pics are heavily doctored. I'm really disillusioned with the PCC 5-packers after getting Bombshock and Skyburst. They're both incredibly craptacular toys and the drones are just a bad joke.

I couldn't agree more. I think I expected way too much from PCC's that I didn't realise the combiners were just drones (except the main one) and couldn't transform.

wait till you get the rallybots. i am so disapointed with the main torso.. it doesnt stay together when you transform it the weight of the limbs (as heavy as they are) pop pegs out of the holes for the "shoulders"

this line is getting a big lame waste of time feeling to it

While I luv the "original" releases...these repaints are so very, very stupid.

I'd have to agree with that, it doesnt make much sense to me either.
I dont mind repaints too much, but it hardly makes one want to go and buy more of the things if there isnt a few new molds as well.
Sure if there is a new mold or two one might go and grab a repaint or two in the same trip, but it hardly seems worth the effort to go out for repaints only.

So, just saw the Entertainment Earth pre order.
Wow, those colours have changed a bit on the minicons and on the non 'shopped toys.

Link Zippo's talking about, which I just saw today and didn't even recognise them...

Feels like Gen2/Euro mixmatching of weird colours. Is it difficult to have 'real-world' colours-chemes of vehicles?

they looked good, but after seeing them on The entertainment earth page, ugh, i've shat out better looking things the that
