Transformers Legacy toyline

Keep in mind that there were 'Micromaster combiners' that were just two bots connecting to make one vehicle, so it may not be what we usually think of when they say 'combiner'.

I and a few others made my own Junkion combiner using four of the deluxe CW Wreck-Gars, the little one, and the Inferno remold of Hot Spot with a bunch of different reprolabels. If the new Junkions all run on 5mm ports, it might be really easy to incorporate them into the one I have.

Junkions can combine if you use a little imagination.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

So are they an actual combiner, or just in the same way Weaponizers can be combined?

Which reminds me, I still haven't worked Slammer into this thing.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

Yo, turns out that the junkions in legacy evolution can be actual combiners

Only in the same sense that weaponisers and Fossilisers can "combine". However, in this case, there will be at least two Junkions that can combine also in vehicle mode too.

 

[Shadewing]

Well to be fair, they did try to attempt making the Fossilizer an actual combiner and not just 'randomly thrown togeather'

 

[ZacWilliam1]

If they don't give it official instructions or an official name it's not an official Combiner imo.

-ZacWilliam, if someone gets paid for some instructions and/or a name gets through legal it's a real character, otherwise it's the designers playing around.

 

[wonko the sane?]

That's not a combiner: that's a dude wearing three other dudes as a suit.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

So's Build King.

I mean Wingfinger had parts unique to its combiner head, you cant really say its not official when it has combiner-specific parts.

I can. The concept that Fossilizers can combine is official. There is no official Fossilizer combiner.

-ZacWilliam, the theoretical ability to build a type of character is different from the existence of an actual character with a distinct official appearance or name.

 

[Princess Viola]

I genuinely cannot imagine caring about this at all.

Like deadass.

 

[Swerve]

I mean, I hope there is a Combiner head for the Junkions. I'm okay if there is no official combiner directions, but would love a combiner head similar to the Fossilizers.

So uh….speaking of combiners. I never saw Motormaster on shelf. Everywhere online is either out of stock or way over priced. Has he had his actual run in stores and that’s in? If so, I feel like a second run is needed of him. I don’t really want to complete the limbs if I can’t find him.

 

[DefaultOption]

I saw one Motormaster on the shelf in a Target up here in Ye Olde New England back in November, so I'd guess he's been as distributed as he's going to be.

 

[Dake]

Yeah, I saw him a few times at Target, but not for a bit. Maybe he'll show up when someone empties their distribution warehouse ( or at a discount retailer).

 

[Donocropolis]

I actually bought mine off the shelf at my local Target. I cancelled my pre-order from my phone and walked out with him. It was the one and only time I ever saw one at retail.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I may have missed the boat on Motormaster too. I've never been super into the Stunticons so I kinda relegated him and the others after Drag Strip to "I'll put 'em on my Amazon wishlist and maybe I'll get them as Christmas gifts." Sadly it looks like MM sold out everywhere before Xmas.

On the one hand I'd kinda like him, but on the other that is a lot to drop on Stunticons when, again I've never really cared about the team.

Aerialbots I LOVE, Pretty much every other team I have nostalgic fondness for. Stunticons... Meh, they're ok. Not sure why.


-ZacWilliam, I think that might be the one Combiner where the original toys may have all been my little brothers rather than mine actually, so that might be it...

 

[Donocropolis]

Given the release of "Shadowstrip" in G2 Dragstrip colors, I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole team done up the same way, so that may be a second chance at the Motormaster mold if nothing else.

Some good new pics of Prowl up on Seibertron. I'm really liking this guy. I think he actually fits in really well as either a G1 version of Animated Prowl, or even as an Animated toy of a new character that would be one of Prowl's fellow police-bots. An old buddy from his academy days here in town for the week.

More pics on the link, these are just a couple of favorites.
