Transformers Legacy toyline

[CoffeeHorse]

I have the Wheeljack version of the RTS mold and I don't love it. There's clever bits, but stuffing the arms back into place for vehicle mode is not fun. It's not too hard to get them right, but I never know that I have them right before I try to close the vehicle shell. I just try to close it and hope for the best, and start massaging things when inevitably it's not quite right yet.

 

[Blot]

If I remember the trick is to basically have the arms against the rear section of the car and then close that so everything goes into alignment at the same time?

 

[Sabrblade]

IIRC, there are some slits on the folded-up arms that need to be aligned with some tabs on the underside of the vehicle shell, too.

 

[unluckiness]

Yeah, it’s essier if you tab the arms onto the rear car shell/ backpack then close it. Works out most of the time

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

So much of the design didn't need to be as complicated as they made it.

To be honest, that feels like a lot of releases lately.

Like Blaster. I like the new Blaster, but... the fact you have to basically hide his arms, among other things... the original was elegant in its simplicity.

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

I'm tempted. I want to push my luck.

You did manage the impossible and get a non floppy Titanium Megs, I’d say your luck for the miraculous could be high.

I’m always a bit tempted to get Road Rage, if I could find one now. I do honestly prefer the RTS (Takara version) Tracks. Mostly cause of the paintjob I’ll admit. I also have the Takara version of it as Wheeljack too.

I only got her, becuase Target had her for $13. Like the character, Dislike the mold; felt roughtly half price was worth it.

 

[Sciflyer]

I think that the RtS Tracks (and Wheeljack, for that matter) is pretty good. I still have mine, but I feel like the Tracks use of the mold in robot mode is a little beefier than I care for. It kinda works for Wheeljack, but the Earthrise/Kingdom/Whatever version is far closer to what I want in a modern Wheeljack.

Now what I'd really like is to see a M.A.S.K./TF collab of the Raven ( https://www.maskforce.com/raven---mask.html ) released first in a black deco, but then given the Tracks treatment. Not exactly the same Corvette model that Tracks used (and the Raven is technically a sea plane), but it is close enough and the flight mode is way more than an afterthought.

RTS Wheeljack's shoulders are REALLY loose on mine (my nephew also uses it a lot, that might be part of the issue) and no amount of tightening the ball joints lasts long. I plan to do what I did with my RTS Jazz and replace it in my own setup with the Origins one, simply because I like the look more, and I'll let my nephew go for the car versions.

Of course, that might just be because after 40+ years of this (I started with G1 Thundercracker when it was new and never stopped) I might just have enough car-bots to last me the rest of my life and want something else.

 

[Princess Viola]

I don't have any attachment to Tracks as a character and I already have the MP for Road Rage, so I never bothered trying to find her. (If I had found her, I would have likely bought her I just wasn't going out toy hunting to find the toy, y'know)

Did you do the leg extension mod for Wheeljack?

I would like to have a range of MASK, Zoids, GI Joe, Transformers and Starwars, using the Micromachines "pilot inna vehicle" scale they did for starwars. They could use the current Diaclone scale of pilots for all the "human" figures and then make toys that recovered revolved around this post pattern.

[Undead Scottsman]

Kind of impressed they managed to get that Squeezeplay out of Mindwipe. Shame I don't want anything else in this set.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Squeezeplay is the kind of hilarious stupidity that I would love to support by himself, but not nearly enough to pay for the whole set. Tarn's not different enough to rebuy, and Cliffjumper and Tangrantulus don't interest me.

 

[Shadewing]

Welp, That's a get. Never found Tarn, REALLY want that Squeezeplay, and wouldn't mind that Cliffjumper.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I'll pass, I don't want any of those figures, I will say that Tarn is a great figure, the only thing that would improve him would be if he could actually roll along

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Squeezeplay is enough to make me NEED that set. Since I missed Tarn that's a plus too. But Squeezplay (with Browning) is enough to sell me.

-ZacWilliam, Now do the Autobot 88 Headmasters!

 

[Echowarrior]

Squeezeplay! YES! And Tarantulas in his prototype colors is neat. I'm of mixed feelings on the rest, but the set is definitely a purchase by my reckoning.

So, how soon before we get Horri-Bull?

If it follows the trend: 2027.
