Via Amazon.com, we have a look at the official stock photos of Robots in Disguise Legion Wave 5 – which features Patrol Mode Strongarm and Ultra Magnus. Patrol Strongarm is a redeco of the previous Legion class Strongarm toy, while Ultra Magnus is a resurrection of the trend of painting Optimus Prime toys white – by which, we mean he is a redeco of Legion class Optimus Prime.
Both of these toys have also been sighted at retail in Singapore – TFW2005 member kwweil reports finding them both at a store called Takashimaya – we’ve got photo evidence after the break. This hopefully means a US retail sighting should not be too far off – which makes you wonder if there is more to the Amazon listing for Ultra Magnus saying the guy is “in stock” than merely being an incorrect status…
Dark Magnus
Yay, another Magnus for the collection!
Nevermore
Windblade, Drift and Thunderhoof are presumably wave 6, yes.
Night Ops Bumblebee and Alpine Strike Sideswipe from wave 4 exist both with unchanged and updated package art:
C310 Ginrai
So Windblade is wave 6 I take it?
Man, strongarm didn't even get an updated picture on her packaging
Bass X0
Not everything has to be an extensive retool. Straight repaints continue to exist alongside them too.
Afterburner
Dear god no.

It's hard to say. I was probably alone in feeling this way but when I saw TF Prime Hotshot I was hoping he'd be in the show and he wasn't. Same was true of the majority of the predacins and we only got one until what seems like an afterthought when they redecoe two and shoved them into Preds Rising.

this Ultra Magnus toy art could be hinting that he will return in season 2

I just wish these guys didn't cost a lot, I would love to get a hold of Ultra Magnus.

I kinda dig these. Magnus is too white (odd but I mean, either give it the proper white, the nice looking arctic white and blue like Classics, or just make him mostly blue). Still always up for a mini Optirepaont !agnus and Strongarm looks good too. Love that cop black and white.

After the original mold that was the PRID Magnus and the extensive retool that was the Beast Hunters version.
This just screams lazy to me.
PASS.
Strongarm is neat…it homages the 2006 Classics minicon.
Slingshot
I love the head design, but everything else needs to change.

Could this be a tease of UM design is S2?
Slingshot
I may get that Magnus.
Nevermore
Legion Class Ultra Magnus
"Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", might actually be mis-matched with a different toy as happened before. I think Amazon at one point listed Beast Hunters Legion Unicron Megatron as "in stock", and people received Voyager Sharkticon Megatron instead? Wonder if this gets people Combiner Wars Leader Ultra Magnus.
Patrol Mode Strongarm
"Currently unavailable."
In addition, these have been sighted in Singapore courtesy of TFW2005 member kwweil (and backed up by TFW2005 member BattleUpSaber).
