Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steevy Maximus]

A note from the original listings:
The original listings indicated THREE sets, with last being Bludgeon and Ruckus. I wonder if the softer sales on some of their prior exclusives lead to Amazon pulling back to two sets, instead of three.

If so, that might have been why we got Bludgeon in the mass retail line, with Ruckus (presumably a retool of Beachcomber) still in limbo.

The last time they did Amazon sets (the IDW historical stuff), they had an early reveal with a few sets and then a later full reveal of the remaining sets.

Wasn't Knockout supposed to go with Windsweeper?

Guess it was a typo.

The leaker said on TFW that he hadn't checked on the listings since the original leak and apparently at some point it was updated and changed.

-ZacWilliam, That's something that happens with early leaks, sometimes they're too early and plans just change.

I like the deluxe insecticons but only as a complete set and not enough to either buy the ransack multipack or track one down at this point.

Is there any clearer shot of the symbol on Breakdown’s tarp? It’d be a poor Breakdown regardless and plane Chromedome’s not doing anything for me but I’m kind of curious.

I think it's the Mayhem logo from the Tread and Circuits comic:

I see. I can’t bring myself to take that thing seriously. Reminds me too much of this

 

[Echowarrior]

And both are preordered on Amazon. August, alas, is a long ways away...

On the topic of Insecticons, BBTS just got a restock on Shrapnel and Kickback, among others, in case anyone missed them.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Ah, nice! It looked half familiar, but I couldn't place it. And since Solus was wearing an Octopunch suit during Power of the Primes, I guess there's a Mayhem Attack Squad connection there, too. All very interesting and ripe for multiple story possibilities.

"None of which we'll ever see!"

Battle Enhanced Armored Trooper.

Down.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

As faceless mooks, yes, a lot of them will get mowed down.

Good, I wasn't just misremembering. I also didn't remember how long ago that leak was.

Breakdown and that mold are an odd combo. I mean, I don't know what recent toys would be better for Breakdown, but if Breakdown wasn't their first choice, I can see it.

Heh, imagine if they really had tried to make Prime Knock Out from that Prime Bulkhead mold.

I do want a capsule of "guys in other guys' bodies but their own colors," but that's not what I meant.

The other weird thing I totally forgot about was that mold's hammer was based on Breakdown's to begin with.

It aaalmost looks like a joke that someone then took seriously.

 

[lastmaximal]

TBH, Trashmaster was my first thought. Has that stocky, squared-off robot mode, a broad chest that doesn't have to look like window panels, Maybe give him some different accessories (change the claw thing to something else), plus the hammer accessory from Wreckers Bulkhead. Maybe the mold wasn't available yet or something.

Edit: Ah, someone else thought so too.

I hope they're doing these pack reveals in batches (Galactic Odyssey, Golden Disk, and Wreck and Rule were one by one iirc), with the Bludgeon one to follow. I'm wondering how that will turn out.

If they were considering Prime Breakdown, they should have scrolled down the wiki page a bit more and done DOTM Megs out of the mold. I’ll miss the stabby bumper but i’d say it’s closer than plain Breakdown. It even has a tarp, even if you can’t cosplay Assassin’s Creed woth it.

There's just one problem with that. DOTM Megatron wasn't a member of the Mayhem Attack Squad. Breakdown was.
