Transformers Legacy toyline

Honestly, as far as the mold goes, the only thing that really bothers me is the... protrusion... on the front.

(The flames should be better, too, but that's a separate issue.)

Exactly. Hasbro has made KO vehicles for many of their TFs (especially of licenced cars), so they could easily do the same for Sideburn.

What with the overpriced Fire Convoy and this lame Sideburn, I think Hasbro has done RID dirty recently so far.

In RiD 2001, even. They just made X-Brawn's headlights into circles and called it a day.

Most of the car can even work as is, just the rear bumper is a flat plank and that car front is entirely... You know what, why is Shadow Striker's vehicle mode nose so... bulbous to begin with? I'm boggled at how one gets from the show model to this toy; If that were leaner and more angular like the Ultra class toy's, there might have been less work to do. Like, from there just round it off and make it a single shape rather than three.


This is the bit that genuinely makes it feel like an unfinished digibash.

This is what I was getting at when I asked "why" it had to look this way. This *isn't* how her front looked in the show. Its like, an inverted version of it. It feels like the car was designed in chunks and then just put together with the front silouette not being taken in to account.

Its just a weird car design, which only bugs me because everything else about the mold is so cool.

I think I figured out what the protrusion at the front of her car mode might be a reference to:

This would also explain not just the red windows but also the car's anomalous bulbous shape.

Surprising no one, Gears is also super good. Like, can we revive Tiny Gawd status?
I need a Swerve from this mold so I can take him with me and have a tiny buddy for when I'm bored as hell at work.

She's from Cyberverse, not Prime or RID15. You can say nose.

I'd probably consider Gears a Tiny God if his vehicle mode wasn't crap.

Yup. That was my guess too. The headlights being off may be part of it as well.

Honestly that almost redeems it for me. At least it's based on something. Probably the wrong something, but at least there's a reason.

It's the Aligned mindset all over again.

 

[unluckiness]

They should make a Bumblebee with the body of a Camaro but the hood of the Beetle lol

Somebody get Gordon Ramsay because they shouldn’t have let the designer cook.

 

[Blot]

It's the Aligned mentality all over again.

I've been told that this is way better and more creative than dumb old "characters looking like their look".

Safety last!

Yeah, this is at least *a* reason. Still a weird move, but this definitely feels right.

 

[Sabrblade]

It almost feels like one of those old "Archive Oops" instances from a decade ago where someone at Hasbro went looking for a character in their archives, found the wrong version of that character, and then used that wrong version as the basis for a new toy of the intended version.

Like how we got Thrilling 30 orange Jhiaxus or G1 Technobot Strafe on AOE Dinobot Strafe's Evolution 2-Pack packaging.

Redeems is a bit generous, but I guess at least there's closure.

[wonko the sane?]

Is it just me, or is that face pic just screaming "Justify my existence!"?

 

[Blot]

The undersized faction symbol on the arm for either version of that mold is really bugging me.
