Transformers Legacy toyline

[Cybersnark]

Beast Machines is one of the lines where I'd actually want the RED series to cover it. The Vehicons are one thing, but no physical toy will ever be able to capture the transmorphing of the Maximals (and given the plot, I kinda see show-accuracy as important here; the Maximals were something completely new, not just another line of folded-up-robots).

I'd be perfectly happy with articulated figures in beast/robot two-packs.

FWIW, and YMMV, but our 2 nearest Walgreens both finally got some Minerva stock in. Oddly (or not so oddly) enough, the price tag was for Kingdom Red Alert, but one store had 5 Minervas stocked there. The other store had 5 Red Alerts and 3 Minervas. Neither store had these at Christmas time, and the first store had them in a "seasonal" aisle with summer goods, while the second had them on an end cap near the pharmacy, several aisles away from the normal toy aisle. If you're still trying to get Minerva, you might check your local Walgreens again, and just kind of look around...

the second had them on an end cap near the pharmacy,

Which is not an illogical spot for Minerva.

Meanwhile I just ordered her off the website this morning for in-store pickup.

With my luck, whenever she arrives at my local Walgreens for pickup, they'll have 50 of her on the shelves.

I really do like her deco more than I expected to. Although I don't like the vehicle mode as much for her (works much better as the intended Elita-1), the robot mode is pretty nice - even with the loss of the headmaster feature. Glad to hear that she's finally hitting the shelves.

I agree about the Maximals. They would come out much better in a RED capacity than trying to make actual toys that match the look of the characters. BlastPunch primal was the only toy of the Maximals that actually pulled off the look and feel of the cartoon.

I have to admit though, the Vehicons are what I'm really wanting. Imagine that.

A pity he was stuck with Optimal Optimus's colors instead of his own proper cartoon colors.

I am still baffled that not even Takara gave him the right colors in their Beast Wars Returns release.

Yeah, her alt mode is the one thing I don't really like about her. And its not that she's not a porche or anything; its just that the car mode just doesn't look that good at all imo.

Legacy Evolution Wave 2
Grimlock is like Classic Pretender Grimlock, a brick.
Crashbar, Prowl and Shrapnel are nice figures, it's great to see Animated get some love.
Metalhawk could have done with some extra deco on his chest and a metallic silver sword.
Can't wait for Skyquake to arrive.

Well, this came out of nowhere. Ariel and Dion War Dawn 2-pack.

Transformers Legacy: Evolution War Dawn 2-Pack Revealed

Thanks to 2005 Boards member Leobreaker1977 we have quite a surprise to share with you. A new Transformers Legacy: Evolution War Dawn 2-Pack has just been found a Gamestop in Canada. From what we can see in the box art, this pack consists of Dion and Ariel Erial. Unfortunately, we still have no...

Oh come on, I don’t need more to buy Hasbro.

(Will totally buy these)

 

[UndeadScottsman]

Speculation is that its Legacy Arcee and '86 Kup for the retools, which... that won't stop me from buying this, but man does that sap a lot of my enthusiasm. Already have Legacy Arcee, Flame War and Orion Pax, so I've had my fill of those molds.

 

[The Predaking]

I am going to wait to see what they look like, but I probably won't pick up this set.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I absolutely love how many Pre-Earth Cartoon designs we've been getting. I am going to need this to make a display with Orion, Alpha Trion, BB, Jazz, (hopefully) Guardian robot, and maybe WFCs Soundwave and Laserbeak.

-ZacWilliam, they need to do the Dropkick drones and their Shipping Crate Warriors to complete War Dawn

They got a character named "scraphook" and they couldn't pop the extra A in erial's name?

 

[UndeadScottsman]

Given the prominence of the energon cube on the front, I'm surprised this pack doesn't come with a pile of them.

I'm gonna assume that's an "Disney, Please don't sue us" name change.

-ZacWilliam, which may be over cautious but that how Lawyers be sometimes.

 

[Andrusi]

It also makes the name look more similar to "Elita."

Looks like they just swapped around the "A" and the "E" in "Ariel".
