A bit of a shame.
People will riot if it's not purple Soundwave.

Or they could go left field and give us "HELP US" Ratchetron, but that would probably be more fitting for some non-transforming line like the RED line to do. But those two definitely seem like they would be the highest in demand, and they have molds for both already.
How dare you, sir! Prime's disembodied head straight from the comics is the main selling point for this set.
Legacy Slapdash confirmed???
Yeah, I don't want this Shockwave... but damn if that Prime head isn't SO ******* tempting; more so since unlike the swords; it's probably not gonna see re-release elsewheres.
To clarify, it is generally considered good etiquette here to try to post in an existing relevant thread if it exists. Sandstorm is a Legacy release, so posts about it should go into the Legacy thread that Sabrblade linked.

Welcome to the Allspark, have fun joining the discussions!

I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere about the cranial quality that can be delivered by this character, but for the life of me, I just can't see it...
For anyone wondering, these three posts were part of a separate thread, and I decided to just merge them here, since they do have those glam shots.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAD!!!
Ahem.So bad.
From Kapow toys Sandstorm
Comics Blaster with a comics head and a Scrounge minifigure would probably be an insta-buy from me.
I do like that Origins Wheeljack appears to be regular Legacy, that might make it easier to get. I want one for two reasons. 1- It is a toy of a design I thought was impossible and will go great in my existing set up and 2- if I am ever attacked by the sort of people who post on a few other boards, I can hold it up like a crucifix to ward them off as they hiss and spit, screaming "Backpack! Partsforming! Backpack!"
I really WANT to like these comic figures. I love the concept.
But I can't get past how much I HATE the comic-style cel shading. It really ruins the figures.

I know, I really dislike cel shading as well.
I am very happy with Siege Shockwave and SS Grimlock so I really don't think I'll be doubling up on those. I also am totally satisfied with Thrilling 30 Sandstorm so I'll probably be skipping him as well. I really do like Sandstorm though. Such a great update to the original.

I have the other Cybertronian molds so I'll be snagging this one as well.
IIRC, Origins Wheeljack is still a Target exclusive. Target just pushed Hasbro to release him under the Legacy banner instead of Buzzworthy (maybe that initiative is winding down?). It's like how Red Cog was a Target exclusive, despite main line packaging.
