Transformers Legacy toyline

[PrimalxConvoy]

Not sure about Jazz, as it's not his actual G1 scheme. Grimlock is ok, as it's a homage to a cancelled G2 idea (but not the regular one, which is a shame). I'll probably christen G2 Jazz as a different character (and Grimlock too), perhaps as "Sunbow" . Who's Cloud Cover based upon?

 

[Haywire]

Same deal. There's an unreleased version they'll make and a Go-Bot version they'll continue to ignore.

Ideally, we'll get a Core-class Sideswipe, and then they redeco the crap out of the mold homaging the Go-Bots...

 

[Internet Jesus]

Oh yeah, Toxitron and Cloudcover are must-buys and I probably will brave the pre-order nightmare of Walmart for Toxie.

Grimlock is a maybe for me. I'm debating on him or SG Grimlock. I only need one alt Grimmy and Tiger Stripe Grimmy might be it. Depends onw hether pictures surface before preorders.

Yeah one good Core Sideswipe could create a ton of Go-Bots and Spychangers. That would be a really good use of Core honestly.

-ZacWilliam, course then I would want all the other Spychangers at Core which would have harder molds to get out of G1 guys...

Putting this news here until we find out what this Legacy subline's name is and if it's decided to give it its own thread or not.

If it had a name, wouldn't it be on the boxes?

That said, it's interesting that these are all labeled G2, despite never actually making it to release there.

I'd think "Lost Universe" or something as a theme would be an enticing concept.

One would think, but the boxes only have the standard "Legacy: Evolution" logo. The only distinguishing aspect of the packaging is all the "toxic ooze" designs that normal Legacy: Evolution toys don't have.

It's like how the "Legacy Beasts" assortment only had the standard "Legacy" logo, yet were still their own distinct Walmart-exclusive assortment separate from rest of the main Legacy line.

Yet another cancelled G2 Seeker.


After which we still have two more!

Muchos gracias!

If/when we get an actual G2 Jazz. I’d really like it if they used that beautiful Actionmaster Jazz blue for a dual-homage.

 

[Donocropolis]

Honestly, "obscure cancelled repaints" is an absolutely fantastic idea for a subline. It's this sort of deep-cut that can only come when the company becomes full of lifelong fans and the inmates start to run the asylum. I love it.

 

[Andrusi]

As long as I'm grumbling about something everyone else seemingly loves, Laser Cycle Jazz is *also* an unreleased G2 toy and one people have actually heard of, and we just got a new version of the toy he was going to be a redeco of.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I'm in the boat of being glad I skipped on the other versions of this Prime mold as it seems to be perfect for Toxitron. I'll probably be snagging him and Cloudcover for sure! I guess I also need to decide right now if I want another G2 Menasor while Shadowstrip is relatively affordable.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the Toxitron Collection!

Capsule description courtesy of Jtprime17

TOXITRON COLLECTION: A collection of Transformers robots has risen out of the Toxic Sludge Swamps of Cybertron! Toxitron is unleashing radioactive mayhem with a team of toxic warriors • G2-INSPIRED DESIGNS: These action figures are inspired by some of the unreleased color designs from the original G2 toy line. Featuring bright neon color schemes, these figures will stand out in your collection • 2 EPIC MODES: Transformers action figure for boys and girls converts from robot to racecar mode in 20 steps • AWESOME ACCESSORIES: This G2 Universe Autobot Jazz toy for 8 year old boys and girls comes with 3 blaster accessories that attach to the figure in both modes • CELEBRATE THE LEGACY: Transformers Legacy Evolution celebrates 40 years of Transformers history. Collect different characters to create your ideal Legacy lineup (each sold separately, subject to availability)

It's extreme 90s Eco-villany with Toxitron as the main antagonist.

I am so here for it.

This "Toxitron Collection" wouldn't be a bad way to get core class Packrat out, and Fractyl too. "Furmanite Armor" could even be used as a protection against the sludge.

I approve of any idea that gets us Packrat and Fractyl!

I can not stress my joy here.

 

[TheSupernova]

Man...this looks to be a fantastic sub-line that I have zero money or space for....
Jazz has been growing on me, and Toxitron looks fantastic. I'm sure Grimmy is a real sight, too.

 

[LiamA]

1) The colors feel a bit flat on these G2 characters.

2) I like the red and orange on Jazz but I don't like how it is painted. I would redo the color scheme so it could be kind of like Hot Rod.

 

[Lobjob]

Also the toyhax set for Toxy is going to make him *chefs kiss*

I mean, he needs his name down his tanker. How else will anyone know who he is? Clearly not by his orange ooze or colorscheme...
