Official Images of Wave 3 PowerCore Combiners

[christalcase]

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?

[Golden Phoenix]

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...

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.

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