Transformers Legacy toyline

[TheSupernova]

No kidding! Heck. I'm just imagining the glorious eyesore that a G2 Volcanicus could have ended up being...

I ended up pre-ordering Doritos Jazz when it went up on Walmart.ca during lunch, and I worry that I'll do the same when/if Mirage and Sideswipe are revealed.

This. I love me some Transformerating RoboDinos, but Leader class is a bit expensive for buying multiple copies of the same character, even in super fun decos. What I would love is a G2 box set of CW Volcanicus in the crazy unreleased color schemes, similar to the Menasor and Superion sets.

 

[Lobjob]

I love me some Dinobots. Adore them. But buying an all leader team with basically the same (accurate) color scheme wasn't doing anything for me. So I didn't.

But my shelves would be oh so happy to acquire these boys, especially if they were three unreleased color schemes.

I mean, Guardian robot exists. If you have Omega and get him, the total price for both is higher/comparable. These things are not impossible.

Aaaand Toxitron sold out on Pulse already. Guess I'm not getting one that easily. And Walmart's preorder system is about as trustworthy as Swindle with none of the charm.

 

[The Predaking]

I am kind of surprised he is sold out already.

Stop making me nervous for ordering them from Walmart.

 

[Sabrblade]

I am kind of surprised he is sold out already.

Especially when Cloudcover, yet another use of the acclaimed Seeker mold, is right there.

 

[Onyx]

Ordered Toxitron, Cloudcover and Jazz (Tang!) From Pulse. I HOPE we get Blackout and Nacelle. A nice G2 Seeker trio for Jhiaxus to command.

I know right! lol.


I know Toxitron has his fans though, so I am not totally shocked.

 

[Haze Arquebus]

Walmart jank be damned, I'm not letting as-close-to-a-mainline Toxitron release as possible pass me by.

Just be like me and rename all your duplicate characters yourself. It adds a lot of fun to the hobby coming up with characterizations for these new characters you create.

I'm probably calling Jazz "Sunbow". Even the logo had the same colours.

That's what I do.

SG Soundwave is now Dispatch, after a head swap and repaint from Siege Soundwave. With repainted Ravage and Laserbeak as Howlback and Garboil. SG Ravage is Glit.
SG Blaster is Broadcast w/ Playback.
SG Grimlock is going to be Trypticon, while not in Giant T-Rex mode, after I paint the chest plate solid orange and put Merc insignias on him.
The Deepcover trio are now Code Blue, Code Red and Chase.
Prime Arcee is Tracer
Cyb Metroplex is Metrotitan
G2 Jazz is either going to be Tang or Doritus
Kingdom Cyclonus is Armada
RiD Scourge is Vindicator

 

[Platypus Prime]

I will take the funny colored one and do this for a tech spec:

Clownburst
Function: Bursting Clowns
"Wait, am I the Grimlock mold or the Jazz mold..."

-Clownburst earned his name in the Killer Klowns Outer Space war-

"No, no, that wasn't my tech spec quote, I'm asking, which mold-"

-You don't want to know man....you just don't want to know.

"But-"

-Let it go, dude...like we were saying, Space wars, but has been distrusted by command since the 'Cotton Candyland' incident-

Neat. I would name SG Grimlock Trypticon too.

Managed to preorder Cloudcover off Hasbro Pulse this morning, despite some problems. Can't wait to have him.

 

[Thylacine 2000]

Pulse has Toxitron and Jazz back in stock now.

 

[Donocropolis]

Pulse has Toxitron and Jazz back in stock now.

Nice. Switched my preorder to Pulse as I haven't heard great things about Walmart's preorder system.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Done and done.

Probably gonna find Toxitron in stores over the weekend now or something, but whatever. Better to be sure.

So the Product Blurb says:

• TOXITRON COLLECTION: A collection of Transformers robots has risen out of the Toxic Sludge Swamps of Cybertron! Toxitron is unleashing radioactive mayhem with a team of toxic warriors

So how do folks imagine this works? Are all these neon robots Toxitron's toxic troops? Is this set in a universe where he has somehow taken over and/or Toxic-Zombied Jazz and Grimlock and Co? Or is only Cloudcover working for him cause they are both Cons, and the Autobots are in some kind of anti-toxic paint or something? Or is Toxitron the sole actual villian in the toyline and the rest of the bots and cons are arrayed against him and his non-toy "Toxic Warriors"?

How do you imaging things going down?
