Transformers Legacy toyline

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I didn't care for the mold, and early G1 guys rotate through every few years anyway, so I can just wait until his turn comes up again. Don't see a reason to bother picking up one that doesn't tick enough boxes when they keep going back to the same well anyway.

Is Kingdom Tracks really that bad? It looks okay in pictures.

I got lucky with mine. His legs were solid enough out of the box that the recommended fix for them made them REALLY solid for me. I like him.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I'm tempted. I want to push my luck.

 

[TheSupernova]

I mean, if the price is right, you should go for it!

 

[Echowarrior]

I opted against getting Kingdom Tracks - I was happy with the Generations version - but I did get Kingdom Road Rage. A few add-ons were needed for the legs, but I was happy with her.

 

[RichardT519]

I already had RTS Tracks and I didn't see the need to "upgrade".

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I have the Wheeljack version of the RTS mold and I don't love it. There's clever bits, but stuffing the arms back into place for vehicle mode is not fun. It's not too hard to get them right, but I never know that I have them right before I try to close the vehicle shell. I just try to close it and hope for the best, and start massaging things when inevitably it's not quite right yet.

 

[Blot]

If I remember the trick is to basically have the arms against the rear section of the car and then close that so everything goes into alignment at the same time?

 

[Sabrblade]

IIRC, there are some slits on the folded-up arms that need to be aligned with some tabs on the underside of the vehicle shell, too.

 

[unluckiness]

Yeah, it’s essier if you tab the arms onto the rear car shell/ backpack then close it. Works out most of the time

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

So much of the design didn't need to be as complicated as they made it.

To be honest, that feels like a lot of releases lately.

Like Blaster. I like the new Blaster, but... the fact you have to basically hide his arms, among other things... the original was elegant in its simplicity.

You did manage the impossible and get a non floppy Titanium Megs, I’d say your luck for the miraculous could be high.

I’m always a bit tempted to get Road Rage, if I could find one now. I do honestly prefer the RTS (Takara version) Tracks. Mostly cause of the paintjob I’ll admit. I also have the Takara version of it as Wheeljack too.

I only got her, becuase Target had her for $13. Like the character, Dislike the mold; felt roughtly half price was worth it.

 

[Sciflyer]

I think that the RtS Tracks (and Wheeljack, for that matter) is pretty good. I still have mine, but I feel like the Tracks use of the mold in robot mode is a little beefier than I care for. It kinda works for Wheeljack, but the Earthrise/Kingdom/Whatever version is far closer to what I want in a modern Wheeljack.

Now what I'd really like is to see a M.A.S.K./TF collab of the Raven ( https://www.maskforce.com/raven---mask.html ) released first in a black deco, but then given the Tracks treatment. Not exactly the same Corvette model that Tracks used (and the Raven is technically a sea plane), but it is close enough and the flight mode is way more than an afterthought.

 

[Platypus Prime]

RTS Wheeljack's shoulders are REALLY loose on mine (my nephew also uses it a lot, that might be part of the issue) and no amount of tightening the ball joints lasts long. I plan to do what I did with my RTS Jazz and replace it in my own setup with the Origins one, simply because I like the look more, and I'll let my nephew go for the car versions.

Of course, that might just be because after 40+ years of this (I started with G1 Thundercracker when it was new and never stopped) I might just have enough car-bots to last me the rest of my life and want something else.

 

[Princess Viola]

I don't have any attachment to Tracks as a character and I already have the MP for Road Rage, so I never bothered trying to find her. (If I had found her, I would have likely bought her I just wasn't going out toy hunting to find the toy, y'know)

Did you do the leg extension mod for Wheeljack?

I would like to have a range of MASK, Zoids, GI Joe, Transformers and Starwars, using the Micromachines "pilot inna vehicle" scale they did for starwars. They could use the current Diaclone scale of pilots for all the "human" figures and then make toys that recovered revolved around this post pattern.

Kind of impressed they managed to get that Squeezeplay out of Mindwipe. Shame I don't want anything else in this set.
