Transformers Legacy toyline

[ZacWilliam1]

Things I would Take as a Commander:
Powermaster Prime
Star Convoy
Thunderwing with shell
Overlord
TriPredicus
Magnaboss
Any Pretender above the basic 88 size (This will not happen but I'd be all-in)
Fortress Maximus (Marvel Scale)
Scorponok (Marvel Scale)

Things I'd take as a Titan:
Grandus
Orcanoch
G1-ier Metroplex
Spanner
Purple Griffin
Rescue Bots High Tide

Things as a Haslab
*"Really good" Powermaster Optimus Prime with all the gimmicks from the original concept Including Headmaster. And maybe Multiple head types (Mostly I want a Marvel Comic style Head).
*"Really Good" versions of any of the toys from the previous categories.
*Liokaiser


-ZacWilliam, I've probably forgotten a really cool option or two but I'd take any of these to start.

 

[Steamed Hams]

Plus he had a nice theme

I really do want commander class Overlord.

I think this is about as useful as an answer anyway (and therefore the question is about as useful as it was). These questions remain a waste of a slot regardless of the kind of answer they get, because it's the same question just Mad Libbed with different requests (which is really what they are).

But as boilerplate answers go, I agree that these warmer, more insightful responses are very welcome. In general I like that the teams in recent years have been so much more personable. That comes through in so many other aspects too like the livestreams and the Instagram behind-the-scenes stuff, which is one of my favorite things about this era.

I wouldn't call the answers we get today boilerplate, because they'll talk about things they aren't specifically asked about. John Warden asked about maybe redoing T30 Metroplex and he mentioned that Animated Omega Supreme is in the queue.

 

[Sabrblade]

Though, the question being how G1-ified that Animated Omega Supreme would be. If it's just a redeco of Kingdom Ark with a new robot head, no thank you. That's not Animated Omega. At all.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Has this team given us any reason to expect that an Animated Omega Supreme would be just a repaint with a new head?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Fort Max being a halfassed Metroplex remold doesn't give me a lot of hope, but we'll see how it turns out.

 

[Princess Viola]

Fort Max was also only the third Titan Class figure ever and came out eight years ago.

Fort Max was also only the third Titan Class figure ever and came out eight years ago.

And it was literally the only time it's happened.

 

[Princess Viola]

BlackZarak was an even more half-assed remold. They just changed Scorponok's colors, gave him a new head, and a spear!

/s

Um, that is exactly what the original was, so there is no point in moaning about that, besides, the Black repaint looks pretty cool on him

 

[The Predaking]

My town's Walmart is clearancing out a lot of stuff, I literally just picked up an Armada Megatron for $20. Might be worth checking any nearby Walmarts (and check the price with the app in store mode, ours had them tagged at $30), especially if they have an inventory or remodel coming up. They seem to be more willing to slash prices then.

Also got Blitzwing for $20, finally get to see what people are complaining about...

thanks! I will check mine out.

i even put the sarcasm tag so people would know it was a joke come on

They mentioned that, after the reaction Animated Prowl got, they went back to redesigned Animated Bumblebee and Prime's heads to make sure they were properly "Animated" accurate.
I don't expect Animated Omega Supreme to be that G1-ified. I don't think he'll be a repaint of the Arc either. MAYBE use some internal skeletal tooling but that's it.

 

[unluckiness]

I don’t think it’ll be feasible to retool Omega Supreme from the Kingdom Ark. even looking at the ship modes, the only thing they have in common is the general shape. And the robot modes aren’t close either.

Good point.
This is a team that added a faux cockpit to Blitzwing specifically to mimic an animation error in the name of being animation accurate. I can't see them just popping a new head on the Ark for Animated Omega Supreme and calling it good enough.

 

[Superomegaprime]

With animated Omega, I wonder if they would just take the basic skeleton and use that, but then again, we also have another option, Legacy Nemesis, take the basic skeletion of the ship and use that to craft a animated Omega

-ZacWilliam, I've probably forgotten a really cool option or two but I'd take any of these to start.

I'd add:

Commander:
Dai Atlas
Optimal Optimus
BW TM2 Megatron - very unlikely given the Legacy Leader, but I'd still like it
BWII Galvatron
RiD Gigatron
Animated Lugnut

HasLab:
Monstructor, especially if it included the shells

 

[Princess Viola]

Maybe I'm way off-base here but I just can't imagine a Haslab of a Transformers character who isn't a main character in some way would be successful.

 

[unluckiness]

To be fair, it's probably the only way Monstructor is getting made with pretender shells. That said, yeah, pretty unlikely.

 

[Dake]

Maybe I'm way off-base here but I just can't imagine a Haslab of a Transformers character who isn't a main character in some way would be successful.

Yeah - as much as I dug Animated Omega Supreme it seems like a real stretch to burn a Haslab spot on him. It would be a tough buy for me and I still even have my Animated figures on display!
