Transformers Legacy toyline

Those mini Tidal Wave pieces really needed a combined vehicle mode though.

They seem to be tantalizingly close to being able to make one. The "jetpack" section opens up, and it sure looks like the twin hulls of the battleship portion are dual-hinged just like the full size version, but I don't see anything on any of the pieces that would seem to be connection points.

Are the boats attached to Megatron's shoulders (which don't even move) instead of to his forearms?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Sam Smith says they can attach to the forearms or the shoulders.

 

[Sabrblade]

Nary a mention of Ramjet, sadly.

 

[Dekafox]

Probably off hunting for toast somewhere.

 

[Sabrblade]

Wrong Ramjet.

Looks great - and for those like me that have their Ark and Nemesis in ship form - Tidal Wave will stand as tall as Trypticon, taller than Dev or Predaking, shorter than Omega Supreme.

Also yeah, I'm sure Dr Wu or someone will make something that lets the small ships connect as well as maybe a non-converting Ramjet as part of their upgrade kit.

DNA Design will certainly make a converting Ramjet just as they did with Drill-Bit for Cybertron Metroplex.

this breaks the record for biggest chin on a transformers toy since Animated right?

HasLab Unicron? His beard is a swappable accessory for his default chin.

I guess in terms of absolute area but i personally go by the face:chin ratio

 

[Darth_Prime]

Can anyone make out the tiny bots from the box art?
Always a good indicator of future product.

This one looks like Armada Smokescreen. Seems like there is something on the shoulder and he looks orange.

Unsure about these 2.

Armada Sideswipe? Looks like yellow glass in the legs like he had.

Very well. Then, how about Legacy Prime Bulkhead?

Or even just vanilla Prime Bulkhead?

Get a load of that mug.

Looking at the Tidal Wave art…I’m at a lost to decipher the characters. I’m just seeing a bunch of car/truck characters, and given the number of release venues (mainline, capsule, exclusives, Selects…), they could be anybody.

The blue one and yellow one in the water seem to share elements, that’s the best I can see.

They just look like generics to me, too. But Sam said they should be recognizable as Easter eggs, so maybe they show up better in person than in screencaps.

While they could be real characters, Armada wasn't a stranger to using random generics either in familar colors or familar bodies in different colors. Is there a chance they could just be homagin that?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

They've homaged bots that were never advertised, that we only know of from samples that turned up in eBay auctions that luckily happened to get documented.

Anything is on the table.

 

[unluckiness]

I don’t think it’s worth staring at the tiny blurry robots since they’ve used generics liberally before. Anybody hiding there’s gonna be revealed eventually and with the bonus of not getting crosseyed.

I object to it on the grounds that his mouth is visible behind the alleged chin, casting into doubt the chin authenticity lol
