At least this wave won’t be hitting in the middle of Xmas rush! And lockdowns!

Wave 3 deluxes, https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/03/13/...-429960#images
might grab a couple of drones (just to army build my Quint/Mercenary section) but that's about it with this Wave.. Very disappointing.
Any news on the expected Leader Class?

Autobot Cheetor - minor redeco - with the vintage reissue, that's three versions of Cheetor at Walmart... and in general for the rest of us. Seems like a wasted slot for a minor redeco.
Autobot Deep Cover - redeco Sideswipe/Deep Cover - another wasted slot, as we have the darker deco out at the same time through different sources (which for many global fans would be through the same online stores they import through).
Decepticon Sparkless Bot - redeco Siege Barricade? - I love the way they coloured the toy to make it look like something dug up from a kids backyard a decade later. It is so distorted visually, I don't immediately see it as being yet another (boring) use of that mould.
Quintesson Deseeus Army Drone - black redeco Siege Ironhide - since the cartoon uses a lot of recycled moulds, this one probably makes sense... but to me it just looks like a black Ironhide. At least give it a new head.
I wonder if there is supposed to be a fifth toy, like the first two waves?
This round particularly feels uninspired with it's 'characters'. Sparkless Bot, Sparkless Seeker, and Deseeus Army Drone aren't names/identities at all, and Deep Cover could easily have been given a new identity.
And then the other three are the same bots already released (in Kingdom and Vintage) but I guess you get a free Rattrap if you'd waited for that Primal.
The Deep Cover reminds me a bit of the missed opportunity with Decepticon Mirage in wave 1, they couldn't have come up with a new identity for a blue Lambo? A few yellow highlights and he could have passed as an Armada Side Swipe homage.
Would have been great if they had completed the Lambos and just issued a Clamp Down instead of another Deep Cover
