Transformers Legacy toyline

[Sciflyer]

I didn't know that Target did that! I'm familiar with companies "pinging" credit cards for like a one-cent preauth, but the full amount seems excessive and unnecessary. I'm pretty sure that I've preordered from them in the past though, but I don't remember them doing that.

 

[lightsyder]

Yeah Target is a pain unless you get a Red card which in my opinion is totally worth it. No pre-authorization checks every month, 5% off purchases and free shipping.

 

[Donocropolis]

I tried to order 2 sets from Pulse, but it sold out between when I started the ordering process and when I completed it. I ended up ordering 1 set from Target, but my local store has actually been really good about getting in all the Buzzworthy Bumblebee stuff, so I may get a second set if/when I see it in store. Honestly, the only one I feel a powerful need for a second copy of is the G2 Cybertronian. If there was someone out there that didn't want their's, I would definitely be willing to buy/trade for one.

No Vehicons from Transformers Prime. Such a shame.

What existing mold from Siege to today could Hasbro have used to make such Vehicons?

A Cosmos-level retool of Sideswipe or Cliffjumper

A Cosmos-level retool of Sideswipe or Cliffjumper

Cosmos isn't a retool. Takara made a brand new mold for him whole-cloth.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Yeah, the wild thing about cosmos is that he was made in four toolings, which is what they had allocated for retooling the origins Bee mold, but some crazy Takara engineer went "I could make a whole new figure with those toolings" and then he did.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

it comes of as a low-effort experiment on troop builders in the TF franchise. The sort of thing that either sells well and they keep doing it or shelfwarms and they point to it as the reason why they don’t do troop builders when asked at conventions.

The seeker is a little low effort but what about the rest of it?

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Yeah, that G2 trooper is inspired.

 

[Gizmoboy]

Well... now that I see the Bailiff has 2 different heads, I might be keeping both of them as well. That just leaves me either dumping one of the Seekers, or giving it a custom paint job.

Also, I'll probably do like I did with Buzzworthy Origins Jazz and cancel my preorder because I'll see them in brick-and-mortar before they fulfill my order.

 

[Blot]

On the other hand, this set has an actual street date while Jazz for some unfathomable reason just has a nebulous "eventually".

You know Jazz, gotta show up fashionably late to make an entrance.

Why remake Springer? The Siege mold was perfectly fine.

Man, glad I put off buying that Selects Cyb. Hot Shot

The seeker is a little low effort but what about the rest of it?

The Quintesson dude looks to be a color swap of the Pit of Judgement bailiff. Cybertronian Empire is conceptually a deep cut but has a really simple color scheme.

They also used the designation "trooper" twice outside of Autotrooper and couldn't come up with a better name than "Troop Builder Multipack" for the troop builder multipack.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Eh, trooper's gonna troop...

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

They also used the designation "trooper" twice outside of Autotrooper and couldn't come up with a better name than "Troop Builder Multipack" for the troop builder multipack.

A generic name for a box of generic troops.

 

[Dake]

I imagine the naming is just following the precedent set by the various Star Wars troop builder packs.
