More finalized third party test shots have been revealed thanks to DX9! The company posted images of their upcoming additions to the War In Pocket line, Thorner and Rager. These two are DX9’s legends class-sized Dinobots Snarl and Grimlock respectively and seem to be highly articulated despite their size! With Thorner and Rager, DX9’s team of tiny Dinobots will be completed.

Check out the images after the jump, and share your excitement in the discussion below! Thorner is up for pre-order via the sponsors linked below for $35.99 USD, and Rager will likely be listed soon.

The Sixshot wars seem to be on as GCreation has updated their Facebook page with flashy, fully colored shots of their upcoming project, Fuuma! This is GCreation’s take on a Masterpiece-scaled, IDW-style Sixshot, which towers over Mastermind Creations’s Hexatron, and features diecast in the calves and sword blades. Fuuma also features shuriken (ninja throwing stars), a great deal of articulation, rubber tires and tracks, and strong diecast joints!

Check out the pics after the jump, and share your thoughts in the discussion! Site sponsors have GDW-02 Fuuma up for pre-order for about $209.99 USD and is slated for release in October.

Via Comic Book Resources, we are able to share a full length preview of next week’s First Strike Issue 2. The IDW Hasbro universe crossover that pits the Transformers and G.I. Joe against Baron Ironblood’s revived Cobra has already started with a bang and continues in this preview with a heavy helping of action from Scarlett’s G.I. Joe team as they face off against the Red Shadows. Also in this preview: Destro VS Optimus Prime. Sort of.

Check out the preview attached to this post.

We’ve got word that the Wave 3 Deluxes from Transformers The Last Knight are now hitting US retail. The cousin of TFW2005 member Gallade reports finding the Wave 3 Deluxe Bumblebee at the Story RD Walmart in San Jose, California. This version of Bumblebee is a complete new mold with an interchangeable cannon arm.

Wave 3 will also include two other new toys, Strafe and Crosshairs. Strafe was also reported, as was Drift, who is repacked as a part of this assortment. There is no word on Crosshairs, but he is also presumably out in the wild as he is a part of the same general assortment.
