Has anyone actually seen any Legacy United figures physically in stores yet?
I've seen a whole bunch of animated Bee and Laser Prime repack at GameStop.

Tangentially, Wheejack's Cybertronian altmode never made sense to me in the context of everyone else's matching their Earth mode pretty well. ("Everyone else" being like four guys, admittedly.)

I'm convinced (with absolutely zero reason beyond the obvious), that Cybertronian Wheeljack was supposed to be Ratchet and wires got crossed somewhere in the early animation process.

My brother claims to have seen some United at Walmart near him, but there's been no sign of them an hour away near me.

-ZacWilliam, I don't disbelieve him just sad to be left out.

His bio even mentions that he's a really good driver on top of being a genius inventor and I feel like that aspect is rarely explored.

I like to think of Wheeljack as the Autobot mad scienist, who comes up with all sorts of crazy inventions and half of them blow up in his face, which is why he wears a face plate, for protection and the lights on the side of his face are for when he commucating with another bot who having audio problems after something went bang in his lab, thus they got to read what the lights are saying until their audio processors are working again! That my head cannon for Wheeljack, while my headcannon for Shockwave, who is his oppoite in the cons in a lot of ways, is that he is again so smart, yet lodgical that he makes clones of himself, to conduct all of his various experiements and has a hidden lab that deep breath the surface of Cybertron and apart of his experiements, he creates a time machine and purposely alters history while keeping his lab isolated from all of the changes!

The only Core class Legacy figures my stores have are a bunch of Iguanuses from all the way back in Wave 1. And they keep restocking them.

Teletraan 1 just picked alt modes for everyone based on closest color match. It had been a long day and Teletraan could not be bothered with a bunch of repainting.

Iirc the 25th anniversary G1 toy reissue is sort of in that direction with its paler red cab.

Most Optimus Primes end up closer to orange, or raspberry, or something else. They're very rarely just red.

Triple Changer Sandstorm - Behind The Scenes
1707803142615.png

Triple transformation sequence commence! Yes indeedly do, Legacy United Leader Sandstorm is whirlin an twirlin an burnin some serious rubber into your collection

Yoki Yamada san poured some serious heart and soul into this guy! Working with Takara Tomy and partnering with them on making these dreams a reality is still such an amazing experience for me! Team work makes the dream work as the adults say!

This handsome fellow has such a versatile array of play its quite overwhelming. I’m going to try to highlight the features to get those tastebuds salivating

Pvc (rubber) 5 rimmed pinned tires that make this dune buggy fast n furious, 2 proper spinning propellers, awesome articulated posing, a stringed manual rotary with 5mm post and hole attachements that gives a wide range of customization (play rescue the bot with your rollcage stretcher, rope up a decepticon, go dune buggy surfin wit ur Beachboyeee!) Heat up some prison bars with his extra soldering iron blaster, blast effect compatible sandblaster rifle, silver tampo pinstriping on the top tail of the cop cop copterrrrrr.

Orange you glad to see I got the right mixture of tangerines I did try to add on some sculpt styling to match the level of details on our other Legacy characters. I hope you all enjoy this dude, somtimes the juice is worth the squeeze!

That's "Koki Yamada", not "Yoki".

How does one even typo a copy-and-pasted text body?

Have we seen how/if the cage attaches in robot mode?

Man, I want this more than I want to want this.

Idk about the right mixture of tangerines, because the more I see of this the less distinct each shade of orange is from the other/s. I miss the larger contrast between the redder shade and the yellower one. Other than that and the plank feet, this looks amazing. It's also great to see Mark having fun writing these.
