Not sure my 2 cents is worth anything yet, since we havent even seen the Core class, but these first reveals have me more excited for potential redecos than for the initial releases. Bulkhead and Arcee are solid maybes, but the rest are not really exciting me.
Yeah, I'm not too keen on having G1-ified versions of other-universe bots. I've got the originals.
I like the story crossover aspect of it, but I suppose if they end up appearing in whatever tie-in cartoon is produced, that's the only thing that would get me to buy them.
But my first thought upon seeing Bulkhead? "How basic."
WFC Inferno and Grapple were nice and had some interesting bits about them, but there sure is no toyetic-puzzle-mystery about Bulkhead.
Plus, the aforementioned cartoon probably won't do the character the justice he deserves, if the previous NETFLIX series is any indication.
Bulkhead was nuanced nicely in both ANIMATED and PRIME, with him being a farmboy-secret-genius and a painter underneath the outward wrecking-bot.
Maybe this new version toy will be an unintended window into what his new media adaptation will be: basic bruiser from another universe.
I wish expecting decent characterization from our new cartoons wasn't so futile.

Also what I assumed.
Additionally, I wanted MORE Cybertron-style BWX toys at the time, especially Waspinator. They could have benefited from better cyber-key inclusion, but I really like BWX deluxe Primal and Megatron.

I loved Megatron. Primal was eh. Too much engineering went to the surfboard which wasn't very good and the actual figure kinda got floppy really fast because of all the ball joints.
If Legacy Selects is going to continue with Earthrise redecos, maybe we will see Blue Bluestreak soon?
More topical, Cybertron T-Rex Megatron is still my default BW Megatron, color discrepancy or not. Might get replaced with a reissue Megatron if those go on clearance, but Im pretty satisfied with the Cyb version.

Haven't seen this anywhere here yet, so I'm posting. https://www.seibertron.com/transfor...nsformers-legacy-commander-motormaster/46434/
That can be considered rumor at this point, until we see some actual pictures of the figure and accessories!
That's just how Menasor works now.
Seibertron's sources for the Motormaster info are the same TFW leakers whose stuff gets talked about in The Leaked Listings Thread.
It sounds pretty much like what I was expecting based on a Commander Class Motormaster and our look at Dragstrip (who didn't have any obvious concessions for becoming a limb like the old CW cars).
While I wouldn't want that style of combination for any other gestalt, I think it works for Menasor as he was traditionally depicted, and it was the only classic combiner I never bought from CW, so I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

I'm picking up Dragstrip and Dead End, maybe breakdown regardless. If they do the toy-styled noggin for Menasor, I might be convinced to pick it up regardless of my dislike of the cartoon's combination method
If we go by the leaked info, I would say its likely this is a bit of a stylised Mensor, but hopefully it will at least look good, we all know the CW Mensor was easily the weakest of the combiner torsos we had during that trilogy leaving a lot to be desired and third party upgrades didn't do a whole lot for it, I do recall seeing images of a third party figure that would of made use of the CW limbs but from what I am aware of, nothing became of it!
