Via a listing at our sponsors Robot Kingdom, we are able to reveal which toys will be included in Combiner Wars 2016 Legends Wave 2 / Legends Wave 6. We already knew that Groove remold Wreck-Gar was on the cards for this new assortment, and we can now reveal that the Junkion will be joined by repacks of Shockwave, Bombshell, and Warpath from previous waves. As yet, there is no indication on how many of each will be in a case – but this is good news for those who missed out on Bombshell or Warpath the first time out, or who want a Shockwave to go with their Bruticus.

Maybe now I can actually find Shockwave :/
Honestly finding anything at retail has become stupid hard, some stores barely have a spot for TFs.

Well right, I get that, but the cartoon only ever showed that piece as mostly dark blue, like Onslaught. There were bits of olive green, but the whole chest never was. That's why an entirely olive green chestplate on CW Bruticus doesn't really make sense to me.

i think its to homage that thing where blastoff's wings formed the chest of bruticus….

I'm confused about the olive green chest Bruticus. I know he was shown at SDCC or some other fair with an olive chest, and we were told there would be a running change. But why that coloring? Neither the cartoon or G1 toy had a totally olive green chestplate. If anything, the cartoon one had a dark blue chestplate with bits of green and some purple (from Blast Off).

I for once say re-release those former waves. I didn't really see a big release of those waves here. Tformers don't shelf warm here. Only way I see some of these figs is to order them or on auction sites where the scalpers are selling them at ridiculous prices.

What is with Wreck-Gar's colors? He looks like Wheelie. I thought he was when first expanded the picture and thought "what's up with his face?"

Tanks sell well with kids, mostly.

+1.
The fact that they packed so few Shockwaves is embarrassing. Is anyone awake in the offices of Hasbro? I swear they choose assortments by color alone – "WE NEED MORE ORANGE AND PURPLE IN THIS WAVE!!!"
Warpath? I'm surprised he's selling at all. I like the character, but the Megatron mold messes up the cannon chest, so I would have thought most collectors would pass. I think they can do better, honestly. But on the bright side, this just means Warpath's price will drop below $5 at some point, so good hunting for repaints and troop builders!
(Would it kill them to release a GREY Bombshell on this 2nd/3rd run? Color variants are easy enough, aren't they?)
HARD RAINBOW
Shockwave being re-released is great news.
Warpath is not! He's a shelfwarmer get rid of him!
We need more Viper!!!!!!

CW Legends Wave 3 was 3 x Groove, 3 x Warpath and 2 x Viper.
Which Really makes sense as Viper was the one advertised as the Troopbuilder….. (See 1995/6 POTF Stormtroopers)
CW Legends Wave 4 was 2 x Rodimus, 2 x Skywarp, 2 x Groove and 2 x Warpath.
Yeah that made sense!
(There's a wave 4 revision case out there which replaces Warpaths with Blackjacks)

Viper was only available in one Legends wave and was shortpacked in that wave, whereas his casemates Warpath and Groove were carried forward with the Rodimus/Skywarp wave.
Overall, this is a disappointing assortment, but I'm actually mostly fine with it since I was never particularly interested in a Legends version of Wreck-Gar. Since there are no other new characters in the wave, I can just ignore it completely.

It's almost as if they're pushing the peg warmers back out to stores because they've got a surplus from the previous waves.

Sooooooooo…I just want lil' Jimmy…I mean Wreck-Gar…
wearelegion69
But werent Viper and Warpath in the same wave previously? So how come warpath si shelfwarming while viper is hard to find in the states?
vrba79
Dat Shockwave…
Neko-bot77
I've been wondering about this since we first saw Sky Reign. WG can't act as a wonderbra, because Sky Lynx doesn't have the chest holes for him to peg into. WG could possibly be a handheld gun, but looks a bit weird….
Then yesterday i had an idea… Sky Lynx has 5mm holes on the underside of the wings… So in combined mode, if you attach Groove or WG to one of the holes, using the peg on bike mode, you could POTENTIALLY have a neat over-the-shoulder cannon!

Put me on the Viper bandwagon. I have yet to see him in the wild.
Mizzinno
Seriously repacking peg warmers? How about some Vipers?
Autovolt 127
I only need Shockwave. Bombshell and Warpath are wasted here.
marvel b
shockwave makes sense, due to onslaught being sky lynx's wavemate, and bombshell is cool,but i think viper would of been better than warpath, due to him being an army builder,yet being extremely rare….
