Transformers Legacy toyline

[PrimalxConvoy]

I think it's possible to have a fairly decent compromise between Inferno's beast mode and his traditional weapon storage.

And, it might be that TM2 Megatron's mouth has a black zig-zag painted over pre-molded "regular" teeth. Here's a faux "before/after" gif I quickly made to illustrate this idea.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

It's basically a new toy of BotCon 2016 Custom class Combiner Wars Medix, whose deco was based on Rescue Bots Medix's second pre-Academy toy pictured in the post above mine.

Right. Like I said, G1, right?

Unless there's another G1 Medix that my intent could be mistaken for?

(I seriously don't know if there is.)

When is Dragon Megatron supposed to hit retail? I may have to paint over his teeth, if I can ever get my hands on him.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Pretty sure he's already out, cause I've got mine and have for a while.

He got cancelled by Hasbro UK fwiw (though released in the rest of Europe). The repack is out.

Hasbro UK continues to be weirdly terrible about what does and doesn’t come out over here.

EDIT: T,2 Megs is out at some Smyths stores here. I think.

Wow, I'm so glad I left the UK to live in Japan (partly for this very reason/situation). We get TFs much later than the US but it still seems that Hasblo UK is the same, sh*tty excuse for a company as ever...

Sorry to anyone who is a TF collector and has the misfortune of being stuck there...

Also, either the silver paint over the possibly molded teeth is too thick, or the details themselves aren't that well-defined, so painting over the black lines might not help? If anyone (especially someone who might be getting the upcoming upgrade kit with alternate faces) would like to remove the paint from the mouth/face and have a look below?

Lots of ways to help people. Sometimes heal patients; sometimes execute dangerous people. Either way helps.

G1-verse Medix is now officially Mordin Solus to me.

 

[Lobjob]

That Medix is a must own.

Dion & Ariel

• Dion Kup mold partial
• Erial Arcee mold partial
• Erial has Elita weapon.

Black Lio Convoy

• Has bonus weapon
• Deco after animated appearence

From the wiki:

None of Black Lio Convoy's toys are accurate to Copy Convoy in the Beast Wars II cartoon. The character model for the show has a black mane with a gray body (albeit with gray mane parts on the robot mode arms), whereas the toys have these colors reversed. This color scheme would later be used for the separate character Dark Amber Leo Prime.

Nemesis looks really good, which is nice because otherwise that was pretty much a bust of a show. Beachcomber is fine but I literally do not think you can screw that up, and Devcon is surprisingly bad for such a simple toy - the proportions are really wonky. I do not care about Armada's awful designs.

 

[Powered Convoy]

@Telly would have been happy with finally getting a Devcon.

Love the bird on Beachcomber.

Megatron looks very good and fits well with Optimus.

The Nemesis looks better than the Ark to me.

 

[Sciflyer]

Pretty nice reveals, overall.

I am happy with Devcon (never thought I'd see the day!). Beachcomber looks good but I still feel like we had a relatively recent modern update on him. Oh well.

I like how Armada Megs turned out so I will probably pick him up.

Nemesis was inevitable but looks to be shaping up pretty well. Again, I don't care at all about the character or robot mode, so that is completely lost on me. Kind of weird that she didn't (or doesn't appear to) come with some Deluxe-ish / small Voyager-ish figure like Mainframe with the Ark. I'll probably get it but it will remain in ship mode.

We knew SS86 Brawn was coming but it's too bad that there wasn't a prototype or something to show how the actual figure will look.

Overall, a pretty decent showing.

 

[Magnusblitz]

Black Lio Convoy doesn't look very black, instead it's burnished steel... which is fine, I guess, but I doubt it's what most people are looking for.

Dirge's tan seems a bit too bright, but could just be the lighting.

Armada Megs looks great but looks to really miss his accessories and needs something to hold in robot mode, like Leader-1 or a shiv or something. Can his tank cannon swivel around to his hip?

Devon does look a little weirdly off, mainly the spindly upper legs? Might look better in other poses.

Happy to see the Junkion molds getting new color schemes, but I like all the old parts on the Scraphook mold way better than the remolded parts on Axel Grease.

Are those the final colors for Nemesis or are big chunks still prototype and the end one will be mostly purple?

 

[lightsyder]

Those are test colors for Nemesis. It'll be purple when they get the final copy for photos which I think they said would be in a few weeks.

Thoughts:

Beachcomber and Devcon both look great. Both very "Stepped from the Cartoon" perfect. The bird with Beachcomber is a fun neat touch.

Axlegrease looks AMAZING. The Colors and design looks like it could have absolutely been a background extra in G1S3 and given I always wanted toys of those as a kid she really hits some awesome buttons for me.

Dont care about either of the Voyagers. I'm torn on Armada Prime and Megatron. I've not been buying modern Armada updates because 1) I can't buy everything and 2) the Minicon actions were such a big part of what made the originals fun they just seem lacking without. BUT the original Armada Megs is my favorite Megs toy ever and Prime looks good too. They are tempting. Might end up wishlist stuff.

Nemesis is not perfect, there are a few things I would have done a little different, BUT I love the concept and she looks plenty good enough that I want her to go with the Ark.


-ZacWilliam, hoping Dion/Erial are as easy to get as Trion/Orion...

 

[Magnusblitz]

Pulling up the live stream, a lot of the toys do look a lot better on video than they do in the official shots. BLC looks much more black, Axel Grease looks way cooler, etc. And Armada Megs does have the waist cannon.

 

[Dake]

Love the Nemesis!

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Beachcomber cleans up nice... I wasn't going to get him but I might now. The bird is ridiculous.

Devcon looks extremely good for being a Blurr retool. Hadn't planned on getting him either, but I kinda want to now.

Alexgrease looks pretty good all things considered, but I'm a little bummed that she's going to clash so much with the other junkions. Guess my SS RotB Scourge has a coconspiritor now. Supposedly she's going to be a pretool of Lockdown, and her keeping the hook seems to gel with that idea. Shame, she's going to be a short Lockdown.

Copy Convoy looks pretty accurate to the show. Shame he got painted pupils and Lio Convoy did not. Not planning on getting either version though.

Armada Megatron and Optimus are definitely great looking updates to the originals, but they lack a lot of the charm due to the lack of minicons and minicon functions. I'm trying to avoid getting tons of Primes and Megatrons so I'll probably skip this.

Shame the Nemesis was a prototype (and my heart goes out to the guy trying to transform a prototype while it's actively falling part). Figured she wasn't going to with an additional figure, and that was a bit of a bummer to be proven right on. Otherwise she looks really good and I like they're at least giving her guns, which is something I missed from the Ark. Can't wait to see her in the proper colors. Love that headsculpt and the battle mask.

Echoing the comments hoping the War Dawn 2 pack isn't hard to come by.
