Transformers Legacy toyline

[lastmaximal]

Just Wasp, maybe Armada Wheeljack (if in show colors), maybe G2 Grimlock (blue?), Sureshot, and Overcharge.

Curious about 86 Galvatron and Megatron.

Will wait to see more of the Primes to decide whether or not to get into all that. IDK how I feel about having actual toys of them outside of Vector Prime (never used the POTP toys for that purpose).

IDK how I feel about the Aerialbots yet as I haven't even updated my Stunticons (and those needed it more). Financially it just hasn't been a priority with so much coming out and with the absolutely steep price climb of the last couple years.

There's a lot here I'm into.... potentially

 

[unluckiness]

Presumably, the Aerialbots are leapfrogging ahead of the combiner queue because two of them are going to be repainted into Nexus Prime’s limbs. What I’m wondering is how they’re going to handle the torso. Silverbolt’s probably going to be that year’s commander so will next year be Heatwave? Given the similar altmode, will he be a retool of Onslaught? Nexus Prime’s going to need a helicopter and tank limbs so it’d make sense to do combaticons next.

The lack of paint on the treads really detracts from Megatron's tank mode. The lack of contrast makes it look like a solid brick of silver/gray.

 

[Echowarrior]

Been charged for the Legacy Wave 2 preorders that I placed on Hasbro Pulse. Hopefully, the BBTS preorders will follow soon.

[wonko the sane?]

My local TRU, which never has anything and is seemingly used as a dump for overstock from other TRUs... had origins wheeljack in. Pricy, but acquired.

 

[Glitch]

Core class/Micromaster Ramjet, Leader One, Clench, Sparkplug, Drill Bit WHEN?!?!?

 

[Exatron]

Core class/Micromaster Ramjet, Leader One, Clench, Sparkplug, Drill Bit WHEN?!?!?

Right after Buzzsaw.

I hope that Soundwave multipack pans out. But more than that I hope we also get his latter cassettes (not likely in this supposed set which is apparently SS86). Overkill maybe even as a pretool for Dairu, and Slugfest as a pretool for Zaur/u. Core class should allow a little bit of room for the extra engineering, idk.

Hell, just give me a big pack of minicassette bots and cons already...

 

[Glitch]

Right after Buzzsaw.

He has to come with a Cyberverse universe Soundblaster retooled from Blaster. sounds naff until it doesn't.

What I'm interested in. A chance to fill out some of my Thirteen, some RiD 2001 and Armada love, some TFOne stuff that I'm super curious about, and 86 Megatron because that's just...curious....

Yeah, SS86 Megatron is definitely the most "just curious to see what they do here" upcoming figure. I'm guessing it's just going to be the most cartoon-accurate robot mode they can do that transforms into a tank that looks like it's made out of gun parts.

I'm just hoping they get the head right. They seem to bat around .500 on Megatron faces. Siege looks great, but Earthrise looks a little goofy.

 

[Sciflyer]

Yeah, I honestly never cared much for either Siege or Earthrise Megs. I will concede though that Siege is the better head sculpt, IMO. I just want something that is at least on par with what Earthrise Prime did. I honestly don't care much about Megs' alt mode; just give me a super-convincing G1 robot mode that is as proportionally well-done as Prime, and I'm good.

 

[Shadewing]

Honestly the alt mode I wish they'd give Megatron is something like a Howitzer. He goes from hand gun, to big artilery gun.

It's time for a curiously shaped submarine with seductive thighs.

Hoping there's a good blast effect-compatible gun-mode Megs accessory to really complete those Shuttle Massacre dioramas.

Yeah, that would 100% be my preference. It seems like an obvious solution that has somehow never been attempted. And being a new, never-before-used alt mode for Megatron, it would be a pretty interesting new development that may spur some people to buy that otherwise might be fine with the Megatrons they already have in their collections.

 

[lastmaximal]

I like the idea because if they engineer it right, there might be a built-in undocumented way to fanmode up a pistol. The main barrel and body of the Howitzer can be evocative of the Walther body shape, the robot legs can split up into the struts (and fold back up into the grip), have some wheels or treads for howitzer mode that tuck away.

There's still a fair bit they can do with the robot mode to get less Stege and more G1, from proportions to little bits like the gunbarrel pipe on the back. Wouldn't mind two heads (or one with two faceplate panels) as well with different expressions. And if anyone should come with blast effects...
