Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steevy Maximus]

I think it's a toss up if those Retro 40th listings are for straight reissues, or something like the Retro Headmasters where we get a modern toy with retro packaging (something Walmart has carried before, like GI Joe Classified Retro figures)

The sad thing? I might be game for some modern toys in retro packaging.

For a Few Leaks More by JtPrime17

Additional Upcoming Transformers Product Info – TF5 Drift, Rise Lifeline, More

As a continuation of our two recent posts, TFW's Jtprime17 has now found even more info on what's coming our way. "So in my wave breakdown I somehow completely skipped over Drift and Lifeline. Rise is the code hasbro uses for some of the toys for the upcoming video game Transformers: Reactivate...

They also drop some name hints, sounds like the Amazon capsule might be Mayhem Attack Squad related an Legacy Year 3's subtitle will indeed be "United"

Thanks for posting the info here and not just the link!

Mayhem Attack Squad would be fantastic. Definitely looking forward to that one

 

[ZacWilliam1]

United, with a Mayhem capsule. Interesting.

Ok, brainstorming time. According to the wiki here's a list of everyone whose ever been in any version of the mayhem Attack Squad:

Bludgeon
Octopunch
Stranglehold
Flywheels
Battletrap
Carnivac
Catilla
Snarler
Venom
Chop Shop
Needlenose
Spinister
Ruckus
Roadblock
Claw Jaw
Impactor
Leobreaker
Overbite
Polar Claw
Prowl (BW Owl)
Smolder
Stampy
Steamhammer
Tidal Wave
Tuskmaster
Windsweeper
Axer
Breakdown
Bugly
Knock Out
Roadgrabber
Skullgrin
Skyquake
Submarauder
Thunderblast

That is a GOOD list for both "Toys I'd Want" and "Guys Who Need Toys."

The obvious choices are the two Deluxe Insecticons, since the molds are there to work with and the team has been started. and Windsweeper cause same.

But there are a lot of other interesting choices too. Stampy from Core Tasmania Kid? Any of the Pretenders (especially Pretender Beasts) would be amazing.


-ZacWilliam, fun fun.

My "don't expect this but I would love to get" list would definitely include Catilla and Carnivac. But yeah, I would take any of those that we don't already have good toys of.

 

[Shadewing]

Is it wrong to hope for maybe a two pk, with one of those being Diaclone color TR Topsin as a "prisoner" or something?

 

[lastmaximal]

If the capsule follows the same format as the Wreckers one, I can see a Bludgeon redeco, maybe a redecoed Skytread/Flywheels or Needlenose or Spinster (now with his Targetmaster partners), and a few Deluxe 2-packs with a mix of beasts and vehicles - Insecticon retools for Chop Shop and Venom, maybe a Beachcomber retool as Ruckus, Weirdwolf as Carnivac (we've had so many jungle cat based molds, but not many wolves of late)...

Off the top of my head idk what other molds are around to serve as bases but I'd love to see Snarler, Stranglehold, and Bugly.

 

[unluckiness]

Probably a comic-accurate Bludgeon with purple and no green. Reuse of the insecticon as the deluxe Insecticons molds sounds likely too. Axer can be made from Jazz for accuracy to the action master, though they can also make it a head retool of Lockdown/junkion.

That said, they might also throw in random new retools in there as new characters like the Wreckers set.

 

[LordGigaIce]

There are A LOT of really cool possibilities here but I'm pulling for a G1 Skyquake

 

[unluckiness]

There's local store listings for a Titans Return Fortress Maximus reissue, at contemporary titan class price, due December. Previous reissues of the Commanders like this ended up available globally, so he's going to be available for anyone who wants one.

Here's one with a website:

Hmm, could be one of those "Let's use this mold one last time before a new version comes out" weirdness like we got with the Combiner Wars Dinobot team.

I wouldn't bet on that, I think there are characters more likely to be redone soon, but it was the first thought that crossed.


-ZacWilliam, it's not a really great version but I do love the character so I guess any version is better than nothing...

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I think Hasbro already released images of this combiner so my apologies if you've already seen them.

Reminds me of this.

 

[Haywire]

Reminds me of this.

Now I really want to see the Junkions reissued in dark blue as a Zod set. The world needs more Zod (also Scales. Really, just more GoBots in general.).

Well a whole set in Axlegrease colors might pull that off.

-ZacWilliam, really only two more needed if you double up legs and arms.

This was one of my first reactions as well. The other was "it's nice they're making high-demand old molds available again" because this did seem in line with the Jetfire and Sky Lynx (and Omega, I think?) reissues.

I guess if it's a straight reissue in the same packaging and all it gives more of that vibe, because the pattern for "we'll milk this one more time before releasing all new versions" tends to be a distinct subline or special release (Platinum, Movie The Best, the Hasbro Asia United sets).

I wouldn't mind another shot at one since I sold off all of mine during the purge of 2018.

 

[The Predaking]

Finally pre-ordered Frenzy off of BBTS. That Magnus is tempting, but I don't have the space right now.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Is it just me or do the Crashbars feet look like little mouths; the dino looks more like a hydra to me.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Rotate them around, find some wings, Junk Ghidorah.

 

[unluckiness]

The thing already requires some interpretation of parts so why not
