Transformers Legacy toyline

That 3 pack might be tempting. I only bought the Shackwave version of that mold because the Walgreens Shockwave is such a pretty purple and looks fine in the display. But a clean Megatron plus any updates might push it over the top.

I'd love to get that clear Starscream, but I just don't need another Waspinator. Seems like it could've been a fun way to get a new Tall-Tankor/Octane, but if using existing molds, maybe another Cyclonus.

I really wouldn't mind if they just re-released SS86 Starscream in a clear deco, and just included the regular-colored throne. Or even a hunk of ash-colored, melted plastic that you could set the crown on top of . Waspinator is fine and all, but I don't necessarily want or need another version.

Have a pile of melted plastic for Starscream and a pile of broken parts for Waspinator, then just have the ghosts standing over them.

It is legit one of the worst Transformers of all time IMO.

It doesn't transform into a condor. It doesn't transform into a griffin (it gets closer). It transforms into something that charitably looks like a condor got hit by a bus.

-ZacWilliam, it's never gonna happen but I'd happily take a Leader Class (he was very big on the show) BM Silverbolt.

It transforms into two pieces if you look at it funny.

I know they had to squeeze the requisite Ghost Starscream in there somewhere, but I'd have preordered the second it happened if they had actually remolded Starscream to look more like his jank-ass character model from the Beast Wars cartoon.

 

[Dake]

Oh wow... I had clearly repressed that.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

The redeco we need.

It's amazing that they took a square-edged design, modeled it into a 3D design where square edges are by far the easiest way to go, and went to all the trouble of making him oddly puffy and round.

The model isn't as bad as that screengrab shows - that is an HD upscale. He is less puffy and more angular in SD.

The perspective doesn't help, either.

Also it's on on screen for less-than-a-second flashes, right? And he's suppose to transpose with Waspinator.

Yep. I came in to post that but you beat me to it. If memory serves (and it usually doesn't!), there was a flash (or flashes) of lightning and it showed Starscream for a half-second or so. As iffy as the CGI animation was back then, that image was probably never meant to receive serious screentime or scrutiny.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Come on, Takara. You know you wanna.

 

[Sabrblade]

There was also that fake flashback where Starscream got killed by Unicron, in which the model is seen again, this time from behind, as Unicron blasts him into oblivion.

And, judging from that very blue face, it's likely that Mainframe was using Starscream's Marvel Transformers: Universe profile artwork as a base.

Is that an MP, digibashed in pretender classics colours?

Hopefully we get decent pictures tomorrow then.

It's 2023 and our leaks are still grainy stock images with Japanese text stamped on top of them

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Why do they do this? Why?

 

[Princess Viola]

Probably cuz all of these leaks are from like internal catalogues distributed to retailers that very much are not meant for public consumption and the people who leak them could possibly lose their jobs if they find out they're leaking them to the actual people who post the leaks.
