So….I guess my Machine Wars Starscream remold comment isn’t totally out of left field after all…
WHO’s the Beast Machines fan so we know who to petition for Titan Grand Mal Megatron?

No, I'm the Beast Machines fan who doesn't work at Hasbro.

Transformers Legacy Fan Virtual Roundtable Review
To answer any lingering questions about the recent Legacy reveals, the team at Hasbro held a Virtual Roundtablewww.allspark.com
Wait, that thing has a city mode?!

Front page article notes that the saw blade spins, ratcheted. Doesn't open up like the original but separates from the crane.
Great work on the article btw, glad these things are happening more and more. Hope these don't go away when in-person stuff returns.
Menasor is compatible for the legs, but the arms would fall out easily they said. They also said that you could try whatever and they weren't going to tell you no. So who knows how it will fit. I will let you know in a few months when I get him.
Yeah, only time will tell, I already preordered him and a few bots of the next wave, not getting all of the wave as a chunk isn't really pushing my buttons (so to speak), then I'm still waiting on my wave 1 preorders but that's not due until some point in July as I'm living in the UK!
While highly unlikely I remember using Puzzler as my Menasor substitute many years ago, when they're talking about remolds and box sets. Though the 'cosplaying autobot team' has a much better chance.
Was thinking about how we'll probably get a Dezaurus to go up against Victory Saber and had the disappointing thought that it would be a retool of Dragon Megatron, but looking at his original toy, SS86 Grimlock seems like it'd be surprisingly close match based on how Dezzie transforms.
Kids who grew up during the UT are getting to the age where they begin to feel nostalgic.

Yeah, because the rest of us are getting old enough that we have to spend money on wives and kids and medical bills (because we OLD!) and houses and cars.
Seems to me Hasblo were giving some prime BS excuses for some of those points. Translations, while somewhat expensive, are not THAT expensive, I feel. If Netflix can do it, then so can Hasblo. I feel that it's just too much hassle for them to bother, and not relevant enough for their needs. It wouldn't surprise me if they were simply grandfathered lip-service inclusions that most staff would happily remove if they had the chance.
Except it is. YOU might think it isn't, but for others, that isn't the case. In Japan, that 200 dollars might easily become around 3-400 dollars once Takara has bumped-up the price. I doubt many Japanese fans will be clamouring to buy this figure, especially as that price.

In other words, expect a few add-on kits which connect the CW versions to Legacy Motormaster...
A retool of SS86 Grimlock into Dezaurus would have to be a very extensive retool, but if they want to include his chest beasts, I think they would need to bump him up to commander class as I believe Haslab Star Saber on his own would be roughly leader class in terms of height before adding on Victory Leo, so to really do the character justice, I think he would likely be a commander class, if it was like ten or five years ago, then I would of said leader but these days, I think commander class would not be out of the question
It's for twenty-seven languages.
I had the original but sold it. For me, it was just a poor-man's G1 Metroplex, and this new version just seems to be a poor man's version of that, like a cheaper, bigger, more expensive, but somehow less impressive KO of the original.
I've got a bad feeling that the ratcheting might restrict it to only spinning in the direction that's wrong for vehicle mode...
I think Metroplex looks neat. I always liked the original and I have a desire to get this new one so he can tower over my Cybertron figures. All of the negatives have been mentioned here, and I agree with most of them (especially the lack of Mini-con ports), but still, I like the toy.
