Thanks to 2005 Boards member Nevermore for sharing the new Transformers: Power Of The Primes Legends Wave 3 Stock Photos in our forums.
The images surfaced via Amazon, and we have a clear look at Outback and Cindersaur. Following the legacy of his G1 counterpart, Outback is a remold and repaint of Titans Return Legends class Brawn. Cindersaur is a direct repaint and remold of the new Power Of The Primes Legends class Dinobot Slash. The stock photos show both of them in robot and alt mode, and we have a look at their collector cards too.
Both figures are currently unavailable on Amazon, but it is just a matter of time to get a chance to buy them. You can now click on the bar to see the mirrored images and sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I still haven't even seen wave 2 in stores yet. I will be picking up Outback for sure, at a store or online if I have to.

Some photographer with no love for transformers, just out there to make a buck while taking pictures of lame toys. That is how I imagine it.

disappointed that outback has no weapon.

Can finally get an official CHUG Outback!
Total pass on Cindersaur. Maybe if he had some mold changes to make him more of a freak show other than the colors.

HERESY!
I am partial to them as my dad bought me a Sparkstalker from Wien in 1989 on a trip (before that, it was hard to travel to any non-communist country here back then). I loved his sparking mechanism. And yeah his robot mode is short and ugly, as are them all, but they have this superdeformed charm. Especially once I realized that Sparkstalker is a chibi Gigan. Same beak+mandibles, same scythe-arms, even sort of has a buzzsaw on his belly (the wheel)!

Now let's see if anyone can buy these before all the third-party sellers buy and re-sell as Amazon stock? Don't care much for the big guys, gimmie da legends.

I miss the days when I could actually find this in a store, without the need for "pre-orders" and disappointing drives. Back in the golden days, these wouldn't be a big deal (nor particularly hard to find).
Really, while these two look great ( ), I lament that they will just shelfwarm after a bit. Because a good wave of toys should ideally have some choices to appeal to as broad an audience as possible; making a couple of new toys per wave exacerbates the poor stock problem.
Consider this: a lot of Hasbro toy waves (i.e. Wave 2 and 3) do not appear properly on US shelves. Why not combine some of these waves and just make a larger batch for Wave 4? Then I wouldn't expect to see this toy soon, and I could just wait till June or whenever. (It must have something to do with pumping out product consistently and having a flashy catalog for vendors to NOT order from).

I've just noticed on top of Outbacks vehicle mode the shield has a little weapon peg. WHERES MY TR MEGATRON CANON GONE!?

I want them, digging the heads sculpts and colors, particularly firecon Cindersaur, but will pass everytime until my wave 3 priorities is completed. The 3 deluxe Terrocons, evolution Nemesis Prime and Optimal Optimus.
Agamus
Alright somebody from Shapeways get on fixing Outback\'s chest pronto. We have Brawn already so you have a head start.
Hyoumaru
Eh.
Bass X0
Would anybody else want a Fastback repaint of Outback?
payres
I do…. but he can have a spare Legends Optimus gun from either Pipes or Huffer
Captain
outback looks good–face and colors. I don\'t mind if he doesn\'t have a gun,
payres
hahaha!
Nevermore
Except that Brawn's stock photo featured the same mistransformation, just with the shield/rear piece rotated the other way:

But Outback and Brawn should looks the same!
Besides it exposes the Gears/Swerve rear!
illithid
I'm actually fine with it. It gives idea on how to transform him "differently" than Brawn by keeping the shield/cannon/knuckle thing on the roof of the jeep so he will look different enough than just a redeco.

Really? The Firecons and Sparkbots were fun little toys. I really enjoyed them.
I get why you would pass but the color scheme on Outback is unique so i can't wait to have him.
Infosaur
Personally I hated the G1 Firecons.
$15 blown away (in 80's money)
But they've been getting some IDW love lately and I gotta admit that paintjob looks,,,, good.
So maybe I'll pick it up.
Outback is a pass for me, not because it isn't an awesome little toy, (in fact I highly recommend it!) but I already have Brawn so I'm good.
More for y'all.
