Im still hoping for a good Sunstorm from the either the Siege Seeker mold of the Earthrise mold. Or an all new mold.

IMO, the only good versions have been the OG E-Hobby, Timlines (Classics mold) and Universe (Armada Thrust mold).

Or both.

Behold, the guardian of space and time, Legacy United Cybertron Voyager Vector Prime! A perfect time for one of the 13 primes to intervene in what has seemed like, pure interdimensional multiverse insanity.
Working with Yuya san is always a great honor, dude is so talented it leaves me in awe. Also, shout out to Aaron Archer, Eric Siebenaler, and Kunihiro san for being involved in the first creation of such an awesome character.

As my good friend Monzo Matt put it “He’s old, he’s letting his wires hang out”! Partials are always very challenging, but I am pretty stoked as to how this guy turned out. He has his cyber planet key and his rhisling sword casted in translucent teal metallic that really shimmers in hand. I dialed in the grey tone to be darker then the og toy as in the show it seems spot on now. The metallic teals and gold and deep raspberry metallic make this color scheme out of this world.

I also share an image of alot of the sculpt details and deco hits were made to match as best as possible to the animated series. You can see me throwing together the original vision of the partial molding utilizing comic illustrations.

Do the Legacy time portals finally come to an end? What say you!? There’s still time ⏳ for the final showdown, or is there? Arghhh

“I finally understand the true value of time, for it is the bonds between us that give time its meaning.”

I feel like the burgundy forearms and fully-burgundy feet might've made that land better for me, personally.

Yeah the ship mode is not great, but I had to grab mine and see if it can match some of the poses the Legacy one can and it fell short by a lot (doesn't even have elbow swivels). So in terms of posing the Legacy toy wins.
It's up to personal taste, of course, but sometimes I prefer the uncompromised aesthetics and play features of the original versus the better articulation of the Generations update. Articulation is very fun, but so often these days I feel that updates of Beast Wars (TM) and beyond are lacking a finished quality.

I might appreciate these updates more if they weren't trying to hew so closely to the original (and missing). I'd love to see some broader, more creative interpretations of these characters.

It is certainly og Safeguard with new Vector. Override and Metro are anomalies then. She can plug in her og Cyber Key because no new one. He simply can’t attach anything. I wonder if they’ll do a rerelease of Override with a retooled engine gun that has a new Cyber Key at some point.

still, after seeing the new images I am warming to Legacy Vector. I mean, I’m still sad that he’s a retool and not a new mold. But he is looking better.

DNA Design gave my Metroplex a nice new Drill-Bit Mini-Con That attaches to him just nicely.

I got that kit and put it on my copy, thou I bought the kit on a whim, speaking of upgrading, I upgrade my ROTB Scourge with the DNA kit and it looks pretty good, also upgraded my Armada Optimus, that is a ok kit, don't like the hands in that kit, the way the port holder for 5ml weapons to hold is terrible and I switched the hands back to the regluar hands, because then he can actually hold his gun without any problems, the arm upgrade and shoulder pads are good along with the crotch plate, the one part for the back, I not installed as it requires knocking out the pin and I don't have much problems with the back of the super robot mode as the part that detaches for weapons platform, I just hang in the back and the other plate isn't much of a problem for me, on Scourge, the only thing, I didn't put on him was the head, I just wasn't keen on it, so he modeling the gap fillers and shun pads along with the replacement arms!

I’ve been flip flopping on the D NA Metro set. Drillbit does look good.

Its a reasonably simple kit, easy to install the hands and Drillbit is a ok bot, nothing seriously new but he doesn't need to be as he does the job just fine, I can't compare against the original as I don't own him and my original Cybertron Metroplex was second hand to start with

It's a great set that dramatically improves the figure's altmode, the new hands require no screwdriver work, and the Mini-Con is the icing on the cake.
