Transformers Legacy toyline

[Sabrblade]

You gotta love how they read our feedback and actually answer our questions instead of just saying "No."

Or leading us on with "Stay tuned" and then proceeding to do nothing.

You can see Road Pigs arms in Mark's latest Instagram post. It's Crashbars arms in black and red.

The prevailing theory is that Thundertron will come with weaponizer. His msrp is the same as the Netflix spoiler boxes, so slightly higher than the standard leader price. So similar to Megatron and Skelivore.

Probably one of the Rocks. Hasbro talked about the Star Raiders hunting them when they showed of regular deco Thundertron.

That’s my feeling: Thundertron will be a Voyager repaint with some extra “stuff”. One deco option nobody seems to have talked about is the “Go Prime” deco- white base with teal/green and black with gold accents. It would be compellingly different without treading on decos established for Leo Prime or Alpha Trion.
He’ll probably be packed with a “gimmick figure”, my preference would have been a junkion, but given the apparent fall release, it’ll probably be one of the Rockbots. And probably some Energon cubes in yellow/gold. Y’know, “the booty”.

Blud listed all three of those deco options on the previous page.

Huh, wait, so he IS a Voyager...

I missed that.

We’re all still assuming a Voyager. There isn’t much a reason to assume he ISN’T one, though. It seems unlikely Hasbro has anything worth retooling at the leader price point for the character (unless a completely different design), and the MO of Hasbro works against that idea.

Hasbro DOES have a history of “plussing up” figures to fit a price point, though. That is, of course, unless Walmart abandoned the item they did the toy colors Velocitron Hot Rod.

The Thundertron mold on its own is a Voyager. That much is known. But the leaked listing for the Star Raiders capsule line version listed Thundertron as a Leader, so the running theories are that it will be a redeco of the Voyager with extra stuff to make it worth the Leader pricepoint. We just don't know the specifics of that version.

Oh, the Voyager thing was me misreading a few posts back and assuming Thundertron had always been Leader class as-is, not Voyager

 

[unluckiness]

Thundertron but he comes with Blitzwing's energon oven mitts. There, easy Leader class price point.

 

[lastmaximal]

Thundertron and blast effects.

Wait. Crap, no, that'll make me buy the damn thing.

... Eh, maybe if they do my Captain Hook idea.

 

[Rhinox]

I didn't bother with any preorders. I'm confident I'll be able to find these in stores. If not, I don't think I'm missing out that much.

 

[lastmaximal]

Ah, hang on. Wasn't there supposedly going to be a Bludgeon in this capsule? Did plans change on that?

There was!
But considering the packs change (Breakdown was originally listed with a Knockout, IIRC), it is possible that Amazon opted to only carry two packs this year. Or, like last year, the theme will be a staggered release and the Bludgeon/Ruckus pack will be released later.

Just have to wait and see.

"
The Star Raiders are here to loot, pillage, and plunder your energon reserves. Oh, whats that, you’ve never encountered a cybertronian space pirate before and lived to tell the tale. Aaaarrrrggggghhhhhh! Alas ye scurvy dogs make some room for this new team on the scene or ya be walkin da Tidal plank an joining the sharkticons down in Devcon Jones locker.
Okay, okay, now that I got that out of my system. Some of the colors you see here are a bit tweaked for the final toy deco’s. I did my damndest to dial in colors as best as possible to really give these deco schemes the justice they deserve.

Its not everyday you get to find a way to bring an RID villian to life that only had a brief appearance, but I couldn’t be happier with how she turned out. Big shouts out to my man Shu san over at TT. The articulation that mold gives the character does wonders for playing out some cool battles with some other RID bots.

I’ll be honest, I’m a but shocked that we are in a place for Transformers right now where we can deliver a fun capsule program of a rag tag team of space pirates. I can picture the storyline and comic book panels now with this bunch, maybe some day we can tell those stories. All the feedback the fandom is vocal about is really opening up some doors so please, keep on yelling at us!

Apologies on the lack of the Mayhem Attack Squad post too, I’m trying to get my hands on cleaner more finalized samples, in the meantime tho, I’ll be sure to showcase some more gems this weekend! Ahoy me maniac mateees!!!"

Bludgeon was supposed to be in the Amazon capsule, not the Walmart one.

 

[Sabrblade]

Yeah, there's two capsule lines for Legacy United. Walmart has the Star Raider pirates, Amazon has the Mayhem Attack Squad.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Apparently Hasbro realized they only made like six Filches, so they've put more up for preorder on Hasbro Pulse.

Limit of 3 per customer. Exclusive to Walmart with limited quantities available on HasbroPulse.com. Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without noticePayment will be collected once item is ready to ship Unite your favorite characters from...

[Sabrblade]

Well, it is a Walmart exclusive, so Pulse was always going to have a tiny amount in stock.

 

[Donocropolis]

Nice! Missed out on her the first go-round.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

Is this the ROTB mold or the Legacy one? It would be cool if it was the one of the ROTB ones, like how BB Arcee was used for that other US exclusive sniper bot.

 

[Echowarrior]

And I missed the second batch. Because of course I missed the second batch.

Sorry folks. I'm having a lousy day, and this just feels like another dose of "screw you" from the universe.

Its a retool of the Kingdom figure, the give away is the robot mode feet, completely different to the ROTB SS mold
