What a weird set of choices. Presumably they are both supposed to be NEST.

I note that that thing which does not happen has once again happened. https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/21/transformers-shattered-glass-flamewar-fireglide-in-hand-images-465735

I think more people would have been in to Magenta Rod tbh. I'm kind of surprised they didn't do a blue version as Sideburn given the nature of the line but there you go.

Super easy pass. Current team seem to think we like toy repaints way more than we actually seem to.

FWIW Aaron Archer was completely unaware Hasbro's international divisions frequently gave test shots to retailers etc even during the Armada days when he worked there, and that was absolutely a thing. I'm not saying he is deliberately lying, but bluntly Hasbro is a very disorganised company...

They did, but said it doesn't quite work right yet and needs another pass. I would probably do this - the skull doesn't work as it is, so at least if you can think of it as the inner robot then there's some value in the toy.

POTP Rodimus was definitely the right idea, just let down by rampant cost cutting.

That's nice and clear, thanks. I guess they were going on in parallel to some extent.

It was pretty neat of the team to create new artwork to illustrate the scenes using the early design sketches. Neat. Does this script pre-date or post date the Secret of Cybertron script (the one with Optimus transforming Cybertron into a giant robot)? Before the cartoon airs puts it very...

They're still very expensive for something so badly proportioned.

There's not really a suitable toy to do that with however. Yes, it's possible that it could be a big reshell, but that I'd be surprised if we're getting another one in this line and it was being used on a relatively low profile character. I'm sure they will reflect the "built out of parts"...

Tracks, given her original toy was a Viper and they don't look a million miles away from an unlicensed Corvette.

Eh? I think he looks even worse. His alt mode just has a big hole in the back because they didn't have enough parts for his spoiler, it's too long, and the doors now have carriage steps. It doesn't work at all, and the robot mode remains awful. Bad times for Legacy in general between this mess...

I can't say I thought Scorponok fell apart any earier than the original release (save for maybe the head and that was likely on purpose). It's just an awful toy, really.

Do you mean will they keep publishing them to cover off the end of the books? Probably not at this point since they're not solicited but it's not impossible. If you mean will they keep publishing them after the license expires at the end of the year, definitely not unless the new license holder...

There are a fair amount of things I like about this toy but also some absolutely baffling bits of cost cutting for a toy that is already a size class more expensive than his size. Why are the hands hollow even???

It's a bit hinge-y on the outside, and the back window just... not existing is embarrassing. But it is definitely better than the last go.

I just felt he already had a relatively accurate toy with CW tbh.

Pointblank's alt mode isn't that easy to see, but it must be said it isn't quite as awful as I thought it would be from the robot mode. It seems like his chest matches up with another piece of clear plastic that cleans the lines up substantially. The naff targetmaster wasn't worth compromising...

I am shocked that Hasbro did not know what the right hand was doing by trying to hold the alt modes back. Horrible painted windows on Dead End. I was afraid of that. It'll look inconsistent and horrible.
