Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steamed Hams]

Regarding sparks and brain modules, I gather what information the body collects and processes through the brain goes straight to the spark but a spark when placed in a new body can be suppressed like Blackarachnia's shell program or the Vehicons personality programming. Basically they are energy being in armor.

 

[Sciflyer]

Trying to decide if I even want to bother anymore.

You don't (read: I wouldn't). He looks okay for a retool, but where's Safeguard, and why isn't the front of his ship mode filled in? There's just a divot left where Jhiaxus' nosecone was. Really shitty, imo. Robot mode is great but too many compromises to be worth chasing him down to that degree. Tbh, he's an "eh, if I see him deeply, deeply discounted, I might consider it."

That was the madlads at Newage.

That works really well. I like what they did with the pickaxe / gun barrel.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Newage is full of crazy ideas like that. They did a backwards remold of their Cyclonus into Depth Charge and it works.

 

[Fenix Twilight]

Huh. That came out a lot better than I would have thought. The spaceship mode is a little stumpy, but I don't hate that robot mode. I love the ancient clockwork automaton version as his original form. This looks almost like a "reborn" and rejuvenated version

I have mixed feelings on Vector Prime, like how is Jhiaxus' altmode pointer then VPs' Sith Infiltrator mode? But I think I want him and I like the idea that he's reborn in a newer body. Plus mines showing his age and his wings are getting soft.

Saw there's a listing for Cybertron Sideways, which is cool but Armada Sideways needs the updated toy.

I feel like we just got a pretty solid G1 Springer a couple of years ago, not sure if I really need / want a leader class. If Sandstorm wasnt so G1 looking I would be passing on him, but he is one of the few I had leftover from the 80's and holds a special place. Id rather have seen him at Voyager size though.

I'm up for Springer, as the current version never received a clean/regular paint job.

I meant bothering with the hobby at all.
I'm just tired of the constant chase and dealing with orders and just the whole thing.

Hard agree, but I'll argue it needs to be a voyager to do the two combining headmasters/three heads feature justice.

 

[Onyx]

I've never played Devastation, so I had to look up the Grey Seeker and Ground Soldier. Blue Runamuck is ok, but that seeker is the real star of the show.

Though I do wish we were getting repaints of Dirge and Thrust to go with all the Ramjets.

Need both Ground Soldiers A & B. (Runaway and Runaround?)

That Seeker will make for a great stand in for Black Death / Black-Out.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I never played Devastation but I do love generics.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

It's weird to see Bluestreak as a Seeker.

-ZacWilliam, makes me want to see more Autobot Car deco Seekers

 

[Steevy Maximus]

So, the Transformers team seem to hint that MAYBE we'll be getting more comic deco figures as part of a "capsule" line. Walmart has listings for 2025 for a "Retro inspired" set of figures (4 as indicated by JtPrime, but things can change). I kind of wonder if they'll be comic inspired entries, not the Headmaster-esque modern toys in retro boxes, like I was suspecting.
If those were the "spring" initiative, that would bump Galaxy Force to the fall, where tooling from the 2025 Generations Prime line would be available.

My feeling is that Sideways might be derived from one of the deluxe Primes, while Onyx Prime (assuming they keep the animal alt mode) will get retooled into Cybertron Scourge.

 

[Fullstrength Motleypuss]

I'd kill for a Comic-Accurate Ratchet with his cryogenic sprayer and laser scalpel and if they really want to wank this fan the power booster rod.

Core class Ratbat sold at Titan price point. He comes with a Carwash of Doom playset.

Core class Ratbat sold at Titan price point. He comes with a Carwash of Doom playset.

Or the Marvel comics Space Bridge as that was also a transformer, a Autobot, forcify turned into it by the cons

At the moment, the only major character who not had a update in a while is Thunderwing, his last figure was a deluxe back in the old Generations line before it spilt up into Studio series and what we causally refer to as the mainline (WFC Trilogy/Legacy), I would like for them to give him a voyager or a leader class, where he is a hyrid of his Pretender shell & robot alt mode, he seems to been over looked despite the fact he was a major villian in the old Marvel run, of course, when they do him, he needs to have hands that open because he got to be able to hold the Matrix that he croupted!

 

[Gizmoboy]

Did someone say more Seekers?!

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Core class Ratbat sold at Titan price point. He comes with a Carwash of Doom playset.

I would actually want that.

 

[Echowarrior]

Well, preorders are split yet again thanks to me being at work when they went active. Nucleous and Vector Prime are preordered at BBTS, while Cybertron Hot Shot and RiD Sideburn (I'm weak! I'm weak!) will be coming from Hasbro Pulse.

gib me Hotshot
