I considered it when I first heard about the concept, but then I saw the actual toys and the pricetag, and decided not to. Even at a deep discount, I can't seem them being worth the price.
For me, it's very much a thing I would like to have one or two sets of, but nothing I would want to really collect as a line.
I feel like I wouldn't mind a set or two but it'd have to be a character or deco or art I'm really into and nothing I've seen has hit that spot yet.
The Dinobots are my weakspot, so I'm figuring on getting them. Clench/Nemesis is a maybe just becuase I respect the deep dive. Wouldn't mind getting another animal duo to have better switchy-outy options with instead of making dino-trucks and truck-o-saurs.
From the reviews section of Walmart.com and found by TFW2005 user Nope, here are pics of Wave 2:
Oh look it was Slipstream whodathunk? 
Well, looky here. Hasbro says Ravage and Shadow Panther are two separate characters after all.

But with the caveat that, officially, each one only turns into half of a panther.
They're two halves of a whole idiot.
Like all orange cats throughout the world, they have to share a single brain cell.
But they're black, not orange. They're the void that literally stares back at you when you stare at them.
And are completely undetectable as they try to murder you by walking in front of you as you try to navigate the stairs! And yet are also absolutely adorable...
Don't I know it! Our black cat has been gone a couple of years now, but she tried to trip me in the dark for 19 years up to that point.
I've had nearly 40 years of practice avoiding cats underfoot. Nyx here is less than a year old, has been with us for 8 months now, and I think has already tripped me more than the other six cats combined!
Grimlock's dinosaur front half looks like it fused the little T-rex arms with chonky Dinobot legs and he is rather surprised by this.
Is it mere surprise, or is this the first crack revealing the abject body horror hidden in this supposed children's line?
Fortunately you can't see how surprised and dismayed Snarl is at where his head has ended up!
I'm a fidgety person and I haven't stopped fiddling with the set I bought. I imagine I'll cave in and buy the Jungle set as well as most of the second wave. I like the characters and I want to mess around with mixing and matching. (All of that put together is still less that what I spent on Wild King Nemesis Prime )
)
I wish I could understand how people are getting past those heads. It's frustrating because I like everything else about these. I still see the potential. There's things I would want out of this line. But then it's just ruined.
Okay, if I only get one set, then Ravage and Shadow Panther might have to be it.
No points for guessing why.
