Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steevy Maximus]

I'm hoping for a Maximal Prowl or the RiD Brother Prowl.

-ZacWilliam, I'd take Animated Prowl too... pretty much anything except the G1 guy AGAIN.

We have enough F1 vehicles to get an Energon (because the extent of retooling has become INSANE) or Machine Wars version. But yeah, I'm not overly excited at the potential for a "slightly different/improved" rerun for the Amazon Prowl. Besides, a REALLY nice G1 Prowl would be a solid fit for Studio Series since that line has adopted so much of G1 thanks to the 86 movie.

So you're saying these guys will be premolds for Dinoforce and maybe retooled into Monsterbots? that they'll combine into Volcanicus and a new Dinoking if he was formed the shells? Naaaaaah. That's too good for fans.

Doesn't Hasbro have pre-tooling options for the Power of the Primes Dinobots for that? Seems like it would be easier to just release THAT than try to fit a combining gimmick into 3.5" articulated figures.

 

[Shadewing]

Honestly, I'd like to see them try. I'm all for them trying to make Core Class combiners

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Didn't one of the Terrorcons have a Monstercon head that didn't get used?

They might be like Predacons Rising Abominus which was retooled that into The Last Knight Infernocus.

Yes. Cutthroat has a Wildfly/Yokuryu head.

 

[NovaSaber]

You mean Cutthroat.

Also, Snarl was originally shown with a gun that looked like either Gairyu/Bristleback's or Doryu/Scowl's, I forget which.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I would go all in on all the combiners if they were small and affordable. They're more fun when they're not huge and heavy.

Considering the compromises that had to be made to the Dinobots for Volcanicus, I'm not sure "combining but smaller" is a great idea. I was certainly excited by CW Dinobots, but mostly because we were finally getting everyone and they looked decent. But now that we're getting the Studio Series versions, they're just so much nicer when they only have to be themselves, and not have a third mode stuffed in there.

Yeah, and the Studio Series versions are are I'd prefer them to be creative. We've got the ideal G1 updates of them, or are in the progress of getting them. Let the Core stuff do something different rather then "the same but smaller" So if they can do Dinoking in core size, I'm fine with them deciding 'Hey, lets try selling these guys as Volcanicus first becuase we know the Dinobots sell'. If this is so, and if this works; maybe we can get up dates of stuff like the Micromaster combiners as well; just like apparently they want to re:do other teams in the style of the Legacy stunticons. If they try and fail, we still got Studio series stuff. If they try and succeed, we might get more small Combiners that would never make it in a larger scale.

Besides just doing a smaller version of a larger character isn't a guarantee that the small version will be good. Just look at Core Class Hot Mess Rod

 

[MrBlud]

Combiners whole thing is to be huge and heavy.

 

[G.B.Blackrock]

Combiners whole thing is to be huge and heavy.

In fiction, perhaps, but I really don't need my toys to be so enormous.

 

[Wheelimus]

I for one would LOVE if they remade all the Micromaster combiners at the Core level.

 

[Blot]

In fiction, perhaps, but I really don't need my toys to be so enormous.

Counterpoint: an enormous Sixturbo or the like would be 1:1 scale.

I liked when combiners' whole thing was that they combined.

 

[Haywire]

I liked when combiners used Power Suits...

 

[Sabrblade]

I liked when combiners used Power Suits...

Those were called "Power Warriors".

 

[Haywire]

Those were called "Power Warriors".

Yeah, those were the best!

You say that, but I'm still sad Robot Heroes died before it gave me a 6" tall G1 Devastator to menace my other Robot Heroes. Super Hero Squad got Sentinel, pout pout...

Pester Hasbro for a RED Devastator.

Now I want fiction where a Micromaster combiner is a normal-sized bot, and the Micromasters constantly struggle with remaining separate (and treated poorly by a lot of the normal guys) or staying in their combined form and treated normally. Kinda like a serious version of 'three kids in a trenchcoat'.
