Transformers Legacy toyline

[Dake]

It doesn't appear to be up for sale yet... maybe in another eight minutes?

I was right, sale page is up now!

 

[Sciflyer]

I got my preorder in at Pulse. Just like The Ark, I'm not buying it for the robot mode at all (doubt I'll even bother transforming it, unless I need to). It's expensive, but I went in on The Ark at full price and I haven't regretted it.

 

[Sabrblade]

Up at BBTS, too.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh man, I thought I would have had a little more time, but... ohhhh, do I want her.

Maybe after my birthday, it'll still be available through amazon in august.

 

[Haywire]

There are some slight Evangelion vibes in her design. Overall, I like her, but don't think I $200 like her. Guess I'll be one waiting to see what kind of sales she goes on...

 

[Sciflyer]

Yes, and I'm also getting some TF Prime vibes as well. Specifically, a Vehicon influence with the thin proportions and high shoulder areas.

Edit: super-specifically, Prime Soundwave, too.

 

[Blot]

There's a lot about how they executed this concept that leaves me wanting, but at the same time I don't know if I want to go "wait for a sale" for her. Hm.

 

[Donocropolis]

One little detail that I appreciate is that the turrets are separate pieces that rotate. It always kind of bothers me that the Ark's are fixed.

 

[Kalidor]

That's probably why they got overpowered so easy in the pilot.

Wheeljack built the aiming mechanisms.

Wheeljack built the aiming mechanisms.

"How was I suppose-ta know we'd be gettin shot at in outta space?"

Edit: super-specifically, Prime Soundwave, too.

The face seems "TF Prime-esque" to me and the whole ship reminds me of a Decepticon tetra-jet on steroids (like how in Star Wars, they use design elements from previous spaceships in craft by the same shipyards, etc).

Does she come with little jet fighters too? Someone mentioned "jets" above in a previous post.

 

[NovaSaber]

Yes, they're even highlighted on the back of the box:

Thrust, Ramjet, Thundercracker (F-15) and Skywarp (tetrajet), according to the boxart.

 

[Kalidor]

Skywarp tetrajet mode is the one I never got because I never saw one in the wild for less than 200 bucks

 

[Lobjob]

Well if the Buzzworthy line keeps pumping out Origins figures maybe we'll get a whole bunch of actual tetrajets this go round.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Wheeljack built the aiming mechanisms.

Likely he thought they wouldn't be shooting anything at the sides, only in front

 

[wonko the sane?]

To be fair... the design of the ark kinda favours that maneuver. Low profile on the front, and sloped sides means it's designed to tank hits head on.

Also, wheeljack probably just juiced up the maneuvering thrusters and told the gunners "just turn the ship. It'll work.".

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Point of order; the Ark's guns were drained from shooting the asteroid belt meteor shower in episode 1.

I'm still waiting on a Bumblebee movie tetra Skywarp... I can't start yet another Seeker trio until they finish that one.

I hope not. I want them to be in the regular lines, not some US-only line that's not widely available internationally, such as Japan.
