Transformers Legacy toyline

[G.B.Blackrock]

I wish Hasbro would standardize necks so headswaps like that would always be possible.

While I can certainly see that this may not always be possible, I could see Hasbro actually making this kind of thing a selling point. It depends on how much they want to cater to folks customizing their product.

 

[Donocropolis]

Agreed. I understand that sometimes a transformation requires a different head setup, but it would be nice if they always used the same ball/peg size for every head whenever possible.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Sometimes they might want to try a weird transformation that requires something different. But in every other case I could see it being easier for the designers to know in advance exactly how the neck is going to work. One of the benefits of CAD is the ability to reuse it. Even if they have to cut a new mold from scratch, it doesn't mean they have to start the CAD from scratch.

I wish Hasbro would standardize necks so headswaps like that would always be possible.

Or, from now on, utilise this new "face swap" system as a standard feature, just like 5mm ports. It would make customisation a lot more accessible to even casual collectors (a few reprolabels/faction symbol stickers and a face swap).

It would really elevate toys i had second thoughts about buying.

Despite saying they would work on it, they sadly never even got a standardized ball joint neck/head for GI Joe and Star Wars - something arguably far simpler to achieve. Sure, there are different teams (and ten'ish years passed) now, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Sounds like we need a return of Titan Return.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Always did.

Easily my favourite "modern" toyline

Per the front page:

I so need this figure right now.

Seeing him firing blasters is strangely offputting to me, though.

He'll be back on the streets before noon tomorrow.

"I'll be back on the streets in 24 hours."

"We'll try to make it 12."

So, I am suddenly finding myself wishing Hasbro would do a Legacy Brushguard that they can then redeco/retool into Overhaul and Energon Ironhide.

 

[Shadewing]

I would love legacy guys like Brushgaurd, Shortround, Hardtop (more so since he got homaged in Earthspark, including being related to Swindle)

Legacy Magmatron and Silverbolt (plus Stranger Things Code Red) unveiled:

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I'm a bit worried that his left arm can't be posed normally and might suffer from "weightlifter/gorilla arm syndrome".

 

[wonko the sane?]

Magmatron is not a character I am familiar with or attached to. I never got around to watching the japanese beast wars stuff...

Still... that is an impressive toy...

Pretty sure there's a wrist swivel in there.
