Transformers Legacy toyline

[G.B.Blackrock]

It's a reference to a production photo of the original Laser Optimus Prime's trailer base that had all of the base's features labeled with humorlessly simplistic descriptors like "Big ol' tower!" and "Some sort of bucket".

It had previously been posted on the old forums years ago, but has since been lost in the big forum crash hack of last year. It was originally posted by The Spacebridge, so the original photo could still be out on the Internet somewhere.

Thanks. With that info, I'm sure I'll be able to find it.

EDIT: It didn't even take me long.

Where'd you find it?

There were several other pics with it, too. Some prototype pics of the toy, and another humorous pic of the toy bio with text that read something like "Optimus Prime x;ndjxdkjgbcdlrxkzknjchkxdngclkvxlcdxcv c;iflkbgcxmbmflkxhvcngmlivmc;jxlk cklfxdjc kj.vjljgm,cnxmo,jmn,dlckmgndfkjx mbxcbguxj The End." and had a character pic of Charlie Brown (or a close approximation) instead of Optimus.

Corporate shitposts are something else

I found it via a Google search. It links to bottalk.com, and a thread entitled "So what exactly happened during Generation 2?". In my browser, this item was on the 17th page of that thread.

Found it!

So what exactly happened during Generation 2? - Page 17

Generation 2 had some really odd business decisions. I know a lot of it was trying to revitalize Transformers as a popular brand but some of these decisions are confusing. Why were there so many prototypes produced that were not released? It seems like an excessive amount of unproduced molds...

Sadly, the close-up of the gibberish toy bio isn't pictured.

Possible images of Motormaster's packaging (and vehicle mode), Blitzwing's packaging, and SG Blaster:

No real surprises from what we can see of Motormaster's box. Hopefully we'll see some pictures of bot and combiner modes soon.

Leaked Box Images Of Legacy Motormaster, Blitzwing, And Shattered Glass Blaster!

I really want to see this version of Menasor!

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Digging everything about Laser Prime, except I wish the gun looked more like the original. Or like the Titan Master one, which looked like a double-barreled version of Prime's G1 ion blaster.

I don't like Legacy Laser Prime. The Proportions are too funky. Legs mostly I think, too long.

-ZacWilliam, they've yet to do a new Laser Prime that looks close to as good as the original. And since I have multiple from its original release they've all been an easy pass.

 

[Glitch]

I've a funny feeling about future wave cores and they could hypothetically go:
Decepticons with 'dark saber'
Nemesis Prime
G2 Megatron
Soundblaster

Autobots with 'Star saber'
Packrat
Ultra Magnus
Vroom (Iguanus retool)

Cassettes:
Rewind and Sunder cassettes
Stripes and Flipsides cassettes.

I really want to see this version of Menasor!

Hopefully this Tuesday they actually reveal Motormaster in his full glory and the combined form

I think it looks fine, a nice change from the usual pure G1 primes we’ve been getting. I like how they tweaked the colors to make it more ”palatable” yet still retail the original toy’s overall look.

That said, as I’ve strived to cut back….I don’t view him as something I NEED to get. And since he isn’t a pure G1 iteration, I’m rolling the dice on an Amazon sale later in the year. I figure it’s a toss up on him or Blitzwing ends up marked down.

I also have some Best Buy credit if they ever decide to continue stocking Transformers…

Is it sad I’m more interested in the rumored Thunder Clash remold than I am in Motormaster proper? Heck, I’m the strange goober hoping for a Machine Wars Optimus Prime redeco of said figure on TOP of that!

There are probably tens of us.

 

[Sabrblade]

I still have the entire original Machine Wars line.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

My Megaplex has long lost the ability to stay in robot mode. The spring is completely worn out.

 

[TriBlurr]

Still hoping we get full Stunticon retools into Turbomasters with Hyperdrive as the combined form.

Then do the Arielbots so we can get the Predators. lol

I was joking in my previous post but okay then.

Transformers Legacy Core Class G2 Megatron In-Hand Images

Via Chefatron on YouTube, we have our first look at the new Transformers Legacy Core Class G2 Megatron. This figure is a straight redeco of Kingdom Core Class Megatron now in vibrant green and purple inspired by the Generation 2 Megatron toy from 1993. The figure even includes a G2 Decepticon...

Nw my deluxe wishlist:
Grand Cog
Metrotank
Gigabrunt
Dimorphodon Wingfinger

That is all.

 

[Haywire]

I know that the shape isn't right for a "true" G2 Megatron, but I do like the deco on that mold. Something about the green with purple camo just does it for me.
