Looks like Gigastorm's Titan Master has been resculpted to resemble Megastorm.

I'd be more excited for the Gigastorm if I hadn't already spent 3 hours Toyhaxing my Gen Selects Trypticon.

I think you may have still come out ahead. It looks like they went back to the 'original' TR colors for a lot of the body, the Selects Trypticon will be a lot more visually distinctive, the official one winds up looking too similar to its moldmate.

There will apparently be a new opportunity to army build Centurions:

That's what they were shown looking like in Galaxy Force itself too, so unless I'm missing something all this changes is knowing which one was which planet.

I mean it won't surprise me if they mention some actual connection they have to their G1 World counterparts, but Legends has always involved multiple universes, so surely it won't be literally "the stories take place in the same universe".

I really want that Nemesis Prime, but 300 bucks is too damn much. Sweet God, what the hell?
Gigastorm will probably be the same if not more.

I think I can guess as to why this is how we're getting BWII Galvatron, from Takara in the Japan-only in New Legends line rather than from Hasbro in a mainstream mass retail release worldwide. It's likely because of his being male villain character colored so predominantly pink/lilac-purple. Hasbro's marketing department likely still sees those colors as "girl colors" and so likely still find it a hard sell to convince them to approve of a big bad male villain character (and an obscure one, at that, who doesn't resemble any iconic Megatron or Galvatron design familiar to the mass western market) in so "girly" (from marketing department's perspective) a color scheme, no matter how much the toy's face snarls like a Ninja Turtle or despite the fact that it turns into a dragon and drill tank.

Kinda want Gigastorm. NEED Galvatron. Wouldn't mind that Nemesis Star Convoy either.

hug, I need a better paying job.
As someone who accidentally imported Legends Dinosaurer when that toy released, better start saving now for Gigastorm. The price is not going to be pretty.

Which is a shame, since they took a risk on Magmatron who is… Well, I guess he does have a presence outside of Japan.

Interested in Gigastorm, but sadly the price along with the lack of space means I'll probably hafta pass on him.

Galvatron however is an instant purchase, even though I'm sure he'll be a pricy sumanabitch himself.
