Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steadfast]

The leaker said on TFW that he hadn't checked on the listings since the original leak and apparently at some point it was updated and changed.

-ZacWilliam, That's something that happens with early leaks, sometimes they're too early and plans just change.

Good, I wasn't just misremembering. I also didn't remember how long ago that leak was.

Breakdown and that mold are an odd combo. I mean, I don't know what recent toys would be better for Breakdown, but if Breakdown wasn't their first choice, I can see it.

Heh, imagine if they really had tried to make Prime Knock Out from that Prime Bulkhead mold.

I do want a capsule of "guys in other guys' bodies but their own colors," but that's not what I meant.

The other weird thing I totally forgot about was that mold's hammer was based on Breakdown's to begin with.

It aaalmost looks like a joke that someone then took seriously.

TBH, Trashmaster was my first thought. Has that stocky, squared-off robot mode, a broad chest that doesn't have to look like window panels, Maybe give him some different accessories (change the claw thing to something else), plus the hammer accessory from Wreckers Bulkhead. Maybe the mold wasn't available yet or something.

Edit: Ah, someone else thought so too.

I hope they're doing these pack reveals in batches (Galactic Odyssey, Golden Disk, and Wreck and Rule were one by one iirc), with the Bludgeon one to follow. I'm wondering how that will turn out.

If they were considering Prime Breakdown, they should have scrolled down the wiki page a bit more and done DOTM Megs out of the mold. I’ll miss the stabby bumper but i’d say it’s closer than plain Breakdown. It even has a tarp, even if you can’t cosplay Assassin’s Creed woth it.

There's just one problem with that. DOTM Megatron wasn't a member of the Mayhem Attack Squad. Breakdown was.

The Wreckers didn’t have skeleton robots but that didn’t stop them.

I still think that a G1 Knockout, retooled from Tow-Line, would have been a FAR more interesting choice than Breakdown, even if he didn’t have the Mayhem attachment.

Nonnef was apparently ready and waiting for Windsweeper:

I'm realizing now that the most Bulkhead part of that mold is really the truck cab, which is more or less Bulkhead's face (with much bigger eyes). This paint job highlights it by picking out that bumper as Bulkhead's jaw.

That, or I need to stop just taking breaks from studying and actually go to sleep.

 

[Robogeek1973]

Looking forward to those Deluxe Insecticons for sure.

 

[lastmaximal]

I kept getting confused by how Windsweeper (and friends)/Breakdown is referred to as a 2-pack while the Insecticons and Malleus whatever are a 3-pack. You'd think they'd hype up that there are four TFs in that first set.

But then I remembered that Needlenose and partners was one Deluxe class pack, so that's probably why.

The two targetmasyers are more figurines than figures. They're basically tiny statues.

Yeah, Needlenose's targetmasters are pretty much just accessories, while Malleus is a Battlemaster.

Which they've always been, even in G1. Its about the only way to get them made and keep the budget.

 

[MrBlud]

I like the deluxe insecticons but only as a complete set and not enough to either buy the ransack multipack or track one down at this point.

It’s possible he might get a re-release later on like the Velocitron stuff is.

I wasn't making a judgment, I was trying to explain why they were likely not considered to be extra figures and make the two pack a four pack, as lastmaximal asked.

 

[Powered Convoy]

My fortune for a Venom and Beet Papil two pack.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I don't know. I wanted new Deluxe Insecticons for a long time but these aren't doing it for me. The originals pulled off some nice tricks with the insect legs, which remains notable to this day because so few bug bots do anything with the legs. These are haphazard retools. Does barrage even have six legs?

 

[Sciflyer]

The Deluxe Insecticons have been on my want list for a while too. To be honest, I want the Omnibots harder and would rather have them. However, these redo / retools are enough for me to scratch the itch, and I feel like they'll do the job just fine.

But it's a pain to order from them.
