Hasbro has released official images of the Combiner Wars Legends Wave 3. Wave 3 features Protectobot Groove, who forms armor for Defensor, Warpath, who is a Megatron remold, and Viper, a very cool reworking of Powerglide to homage the G.I. Joe Cobra Rattler, complete with new head sculpt and Cobra logos on the vehicle mode. Check them out!

I certainly would have preferred Groove to be gun or something, since he'd still be a little part of a limb.

I love the Viper deco and concept but if I were Hasbro I'd have held it back for another reuse of the mould down the line.
I'd have done Powerglide in Black & Grey and called it Nightstick to tie in with the Voyager Cyclonus release.

Groove is so totally mistransformed. The feet are on black "slider" bars that need to be pushed up the white shins.
I have zero evidence that I know what I'm talking about… but I'm so totally convinced I'm right.

Must
get
viper!!!!!!!

Grove looks terrible. Which begs the question if I really need a $10 chest plate for Defensor..
Warpath is repaint filler gone wrong making him and easy pass.
Viper is just okay to me, theres a lot releasing in April so releasing these lackluster Legends class figures just makes it that much better on my wallet.

I think Warpath is fine for kids who missed him the last two times he came out. I'm utterly satisfied with the Deluxe from a few years back. I kind of want to army build Viper and add him to a Joe display.
The one I really want to see, but sadly he's not ready yet, is Kickback. I'm just itching to know that Hasbro is going to finish the trio of Insecticons.

I was really hoping they would show the sharkticon by now. Anyways this set of legends is very underwhelming, glad the rest were awesome though

Like the look of Grove's Bike mode but will only pick up if I end up getting Defensor
Viper looks good but will pass as getting powerglide.
Think Warpath looks awful especially that alt mode
Fort Max
I'm very meh on groove, I'm not usually harsh on hasbro, they showed some really great stuff this weekend but groove looks like they only made him so they could tick him off of a list.
Being a second chest plate on top of another chest plate seems pretty arbitrary too like they couldn't figure out what to do with him.
If the mould gets reused as rumble/frenzy with some piledriver/gun pieces then it would be worth having to me. I never bought into them being tanks but motorcycles, especially choppery ones would suit them nicely.

Viper will look great next to Serpent O.R. from the Club. I think these could be a preview of more cross overs done right!
Roadblock1977
Possible. Then they'd have to come up with a sixth member for the Technobots.
NeoMatter
Oh wow. Viper is definitely coming home to my collection!
Love the homage to GI Joe. All it really needs is the gattling gun under the nose cone…

Looking at it again, I'm wondering if maybe they missed a step on Groove and his legs aren't meant to be that long. The feet look like they were possibly meant to touch the wheels, so that black extension that serves to elongate the legs at the bottom possibly moves up somehow. If this were true, I think it would make Groove a lot more aesthetically pleasing for me and probably a bit more stable, as well. Just a thought.

Want that Viper/Rattler now!

Groove: I'm cool with.
Warpath: Seriously we had a Legends one before and a pretty cool Deluxe, but whatever.
Viper: Looks alright except for COOOBBBBRRRRAAAAA!!!!
Predakwon
Let's see
Viper: YES for the novelty of it
Groove: love the concept of it being smaller than the rest, but the Geewunner inside needs it to be a limb.
Warpath: NOPE NOPE NOPE. Need the cannon on the chest.
CybertronianFan
Yes, but only on Feb. 30th
Knightsword
Now the big question, does he wash windows?

I must have Viper. I instantly fell in love with him in Battle Tactics, and this is a repaint that has long time in coming. And as optimusmegas pointed out, pure genius in having Powerglide's face remolded to look like Wild Weasel. And due to the main colors, it can act as a pseudo nod to Tailwind too. Epic win all around with this guy.
Groove is definitely a must, as he seems that he might be fun to mess around with.
That Warpath is still a pass for me (damn what a missed opportunity in getting Slammer out of that mold).
Autovolt 127
That is awesome.
