Transformers Legacy toyline

[ZacWilliam1]

I wonder if it would be possible to get a passable Nightscream, Onyx Primal, Sonar, Nyx and maybe Dark Scream from the same mold.

With some remolding obviously.

-ZacWilliam, honestly I'd take any of the Bat-Family.

 

[Shadewing]

I'd love to get a Nightscream, especially if he can have wing arms like the original toy... partly because I want more Bat transformers... and partly because I've realized he looks like a character a non-tf friend designed for me due to his hairstyle...

[Platypus Prime]

Meanwhile the next Transformers Haslab was briefly brought up in an interview and while no information was give it was said to 'melt people's faces', so I can only assume we're finally getting Soundwave turning into a realistic Ark..

 

[Dake]

I figured that "melting" was a direct reference to a Starscream that crumbles to ash and then reassembles. Either that or an Indiana Jones crossover.

 

[Princess Viola]

seems kind of fucked up for them to include a feature that automatically shoots acid into your face in the next haslab transformer

 

[Superomegaprime]

It could be the Smelting pool inside of Unicron's belly, where lots of innosant beings lost their lives so that Unicron could carry on roaming the galaxy consuming worlds, if we go by the current patten of Haslab for TF, we are due a Decepticon and there isn't anyone that comes to my mind worthy of a Haslab, but its a wait and see

 

[Platypus Prime]

The weird part is I could see Overlord tried that way, though I have no idea what they'd use for tiers. Leaving off things like the cannon or PowerMasters would not go over well, though things like shields, cannons, etc WERE used that way for both Victory Saber amd Deathsaurus. A lot of the smaller details like the little car, arm, etc could be more easily factored in and they could include a battle damaged face or something.

Hmmm....

The Ark of the Covenant...

The Covenant of Primus...

The next line after Legacy United is themed around the Thirteen, Primus's first creations...

I guess it could be Primus in some form.

BUT, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Primus that turns into Cybertron. It could be some other form of Primus, throwing us a curveball by subverting our expectations.

 

[lastmaximal]

Let it be Primus. I'll gladly sit that one out and it won't need me and my fellow broke-ass fools in the least because that'll sell well regardless. Have a little alcove in the torso be a "Primal Scream" scene space for teeny minifigures, haha.

Or let him turn into a Matrix instead of the planet Cybertron, fulfilling a wonky version of the decades-old He Tell Me prophecy from before Armada...

Ah, Masterpiece Airachnid.

 

[Platypus Prime]

But for copyright reasons it will be called 'Acid Storm'.

 

[lastmaximal]

...Blast.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

Peanut butter and strawberry jam is the usual way in the UK, or maybe, if you're a savage, with blackcurrant jam. We can also get premixed pb & strawberry jam and/or chocolate spread in a jar in some supermarkets too. I've also had the US Southern "PB & M" sandwich, but usually, I like to pop a bit of tabasco or siracha sauce and mix it into the peanut butter.

 

[LordGigaIce]

I don't think that "melt people's faces" was meant to imply the figure would have anything to do with melting.
Just something out there and crazy that people would be blown away by.

My guess is RiD Megatron. We got Deathsaurus right after Star Sabre. RiD Megatron right after RiD Optimus would make a lot of sense and could "melt people's faces" if they could manage the ten modes convincingly.

 

[Sabrblade]

I don't think that "melt people's faces" was meant to imply the figure would have anything to do with melting.

I'm reminded of when we were first teased by Andrew "Hydra" Hall about Thrilling 30 Titan class Metroplex, describing his forthcoming reveal as "pants-pooping news".

And once the figure was revealed, "poop" became a synonym for "awesome" on here for a while.

 

[LordGigaIce]

I just think RiD Megs makes a lot of sense. They just did RiD Prime so there's some RiD hype in the air they can capitalize on, the character design with so many modes may prove challenging budget wise at retail, and HasLab RiD Prime is a big boy and probably towers over the original RiD Megatron figure so redoing Megs so he's big enough for a proper RiD display would be a big selling point.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I think RiD Megatron makes sense to do, but he doesn't seem quite big/important enough for a Haslab to me. Not that I wouldn't buy him if they did him, but he feels more like a good Commander imo.

But who knows. There are a number of decent possible choices.

-ZacWilliam, I could honestly imagine Star Convoy... a better Metroplex... a Grandus... if I want to get out of the realm of "likely" a Spanner or Smelting Pool with Scrounge...

 

[Platypus Prime]

The biggest trouble would be the two colors, simple for a normal release, but problematic for any HazLab unless they made it a really expensive two-pack. Prime/Magnus did it, but they were different and mutually compatible and supporting molds that combine.

 

[unluckiness]

RID Megs would probably have to be a Has Lab if only to compete with RID Optimus/Omega Prime. That dude’s huge and the big wings would probably cut into the mass and engineering. Releasing Galvatron might be a problem but having a straight recolor might reduce costs or backers and make a twopack feasible.

 

[Exatron]

I can see the reasons for doing Gigatron as a HasLab to match Omega Prime, but this is one of the rare instances where I'd prefer not having a matching rival. I just don't like how big the new Omega Prime is. I'd really like a good Commander Gigatron who scales well with all the other RiD updates they've done, like Scourge, UW Ruination, and the upcoming Sky-Byte. HasLab Omega Prime is already a one-off that isn't going to scale to any of his contemporaries. Better to keep Gigatron firmly in the Legacy realm rather than compound that discrepancy, IMO.

One other thing Warden mentioned in the interview kinda took me aback. He mentioned he's interested in a Titan-class Overlord. I mean, I'd love a good Overlord update that fully incorporates his Godmasters, and he is pretty big, but Titan? I guess I can get it based on his G1 toy being as big as or bigger than Scorponok, but from any other perspective, that just seems like massive overkill. I think they could make an excellent Overlord as a Commander.
