Amazon have updated their listing for the upcoming Legends class Wreck-Gar in the Generations Combiner Wars series with some new official stock images of the Junkion. Of note is that these images show the packaging, which here claims Wreck-Gar does indeed somehow attach to Sky Reign – in spite of in-hand testimony suggesting otherwise. Whether Wreck-Gar can or cannot plug into Sky Reign, we’re sure creative Transformers fans will find a way to merge the two. For now, check out these official images!

See now that would be perfect IMO.

This sums up what I said in the Transmission Podcast rumor thread.

a lot of things have supposedly been a 'given' but didn't happen so that doesn't mean shit. I am just hoping it actually happens and we are not disappointed again.

Even if Venom ended up a retool instead of a new mold, I'd be cool with that. I just want all 7 of them.
Raiyuki
I suppose that's fair; near every Legends mold has gotten a head retool thus far actually (the Seekers notwithstanding and not needing and Shockwave being too new).
Also, I wonder if they'd use FOC Kickback for Venom.

C'mon now… Chop Shop got a new head.
Legend Skrapnel -> Chop Shop
Legend Bombshell -> Barrage
Legend Kickback -> Ransack
and finish it off with their leader, a new…
Deluxe Venom. Plus no worries about yellows or purples matching.
Raiyuki
I'm sure Hasbro would be happy to hear your desire for more repaints >XD
ma70er
All this time I thought I wanted a Kickback, now I realize I just want the Deluxe Insecticons repainted from them
Raiyuki
Kickback was always a given. It's just a matter of when rather than if. The way it's been going we've gotten one Insecticon per Generations subline so I'm certain we'll see Kickback in TR.
flik68
I'm kinda glad they are rereleasing bombshell. maybe that means that kickback will be coming soon. fingers crossed.

Patiently waiting for WG to hit HTS.
I'm not too worried. I was surprised HTS was where I got CW Shockwave after thinking I'd have to hunt that sucker down at retail.
Lady Slipstream
Instead of Bombshell and Warpath, they should had re-released Huffer and Blackjack, man, they are tough to get.
Raiyuki
Aren't those two out already though? They'll probably all be on the pegs at the same time anyway.

Wreck-Gar also looks to be almost the correct colors in those pictures, not the bright yellow mess from other recent photos.

Robot kingdom just put pics up of wav 6 legends and no combine to form sticker on wreck gar?
Generations 2016 Combiner Wars Legends Wave 2 Set of 4. Preorder. Starting Shipping on 26th February 2016!
Autovolt 127
I'm a bit disappointed no Chop Shop or Buzzsaw but good that Shockwave will be in this wave.
Warpath and Bombshell are legit a wasted spot….

Hasbro's distribution hasn't done CW any favors. People had such a hard time finding Protectobots it pushed them to start preordering from online retailers. Especially Voyagers which have always lagged way behind.
So by the time things start hitting retail with any regular availability most of the diehard fans have already long since bought them and you're now exclusively selling to kids who may not be as quick to buy up an entire wave.
NeilJam
Right, stores don't know which wave they're getting just that they are getting product to fulfill that item number in their inventory. My point was that despite the holiday shopping boost deluxe wave 4 (Maximus limbs) still did not sell very well. Some figures from that wave are still on the pegs in my area.
T-Hybrid
I don't think stores "know". They just know the holidays typically sell X amount of toys so they try and order enough stock to have it available. It comes down to what Hasbro was shipping when they were ordering.
NeilJam
But stores still had the Maximus wave at that time and they were not selling. Consumers aren't as dumb as stores would like them to be. They won't "buy anything" just because it's the holidays, and will hold out for what they (or their children) actually want.
