    Default BotShots 3-pack & Launcher Wave2

    Official images of the second wave of 3-packs and Launcher BotShots have been released, at the same time as the toys themselves being found in HongKong.

    Wave 2 Launcher - Ironhide.

    Wave 2 3-packs:
    (blue) Decepticon Brawl, Shockwave, translucent grey Ironhide.
    Skyquake (green seeker), Jetfire, Powerglide.

    Each 3-pack have mixed allegiances, as opposed to the first wave which had all the same allegiance in each pack.

    These sets now come with codes for the online BotShots game.

    Also, Jetfire & Powerglide don't appear to have any obvious colour changes to their single pack versions, but may well have in the final product.
    And yes, Powerglide has not been properly transformed into robot mode... which you'd think would be difficult to do with spring-loaded toys that transform themselves.

    Two things that make these 3 packs better than wave 1:

    (1) Better thought out characters. Acid Storm? Nemesis Prime (with an Autobot logo)? Please...
    (2) 2 friendlies vs 1 enemy. Wave 1 just had 3 friendlies in each set, so it wasn't condusive to game play unless you bought more "enemy" figures. I much prefer the "versus set" nature of these wave 2 packs (even if the "enemy" is outnumbered ).

    I just got the prowl/sentinel/bumblebee pack. Oh my god, these are like the Transformers equivalent of kittens! They're adorable!
    I told myself I wouldn't collect these, but I feel like it's going to be a slippery slope haha.

    So do we know if shockwave is getting a single pack release?

    Shockwave will have a single-pack release, but will be a translucent "chase" figure, so won't look as good as the 3-pack version. And it's in the 5th wave too, so if that wave is released here, it won't show up until close to Christmas.
