Transformers Legacy toyline

[Noip]

I got Bulkhead, Silverstreak, and Blaster yesterday. Blaster is just all around a winner. Bulkhead is...a very nice toy, but I can't really see him as Bulkhead. I think he'll have another name in my little world.

Silverstreak was missing a fist. Yay.

I wouldn't mind the combining weapon thing if it didn't eat in the accessory budget.

Hound, maybe?

Hound, Sargent Hound, Grejeeber, Gunney, I don't know. I just know Bulkhead ain't working for me.

Until Megastorm, that is.


That was TakaraTomy in Legends.

I always preferred Megastorm's green to Megatron's purple.

The LG Headmaster Megatron was awesome.

Looks like this will be one of the first Selects figure for Legacy?

Spoiler: video

Armorhide

As an inverse of how Animated Bulkhead was renamed "Ironhide" in Japan (though, Prime Bulkhead got to keep his name) while Animated Ironhide was renamed "Armorhide".

In this case, it's Bulkhead who would get the substitute "Armorhide" name.

I heard someone say Cybertron Metroplex retooled into Grandus and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

It would need some remolding but here's a dirty mockup.

Before reading what this was, I thought it was Cybertron Metroplex in G1 Metroplex colors (though the yellow threw me for a sec).

 

[Sabrblade]

It reminds me of those statues of Mickey Mouse from the black-and-white cartoons.

Not Selects, it's from the Amazon exclusive Wreckers line.

You know, I had my doubts but looking at this I can see the possibility. Trade out the Spark Drinker for a flight deck and it's not that far off.

Only Americans steal.

That's not true. CrimevsCrime is British, while Shiftytron is from Malaysia, right? Isn't NonNon also from outside America?

Laser Prime never shows up in the comic. He's the normal Prime until the end when he gets his Combat Hero form.

As I've had occasion to (re-)discover recently, very few G2 toys ever appear in the G2 comic at all.

 

[LordGigaIce]

That was TakaraTomy in Legends.

So it was.

Off the top of my head: Optimus (at least, his trailer in #1), tank Megatron, Sideswipe, the Laser Rods, Rotor Force, Dreadwing, Smokescreen, Hero Optimus... and I guess the Skyscorchers in the #1 gatefold. Yeah, pretty slim pickings.

I do wonder why they didn't at least have the repaint guys (Dinobots, Aerialbots, Combaticons, Ramjet, etc) show up in their G2 colors (aside from Sideswipe). I wonder if the colorist just said "eh, these schemes are all lame, except that awesome Sideswipe one" and Hasbro didn't care enough since the book got axed in 12 issues anyways.

There were even more that showed up in the two UK-exclusive G2 comics published by Fleetway (which just so happen to slot in very neatly between Issues #3 and #4 of the U.S. Marvel G2 comic, as the very end of Marvel G2 #3 leads directly into the very beginning of Fleetway G2 #1). Grimlock even sported his blue deco in those two issues before reverting back to gray in Marvel G2 #4.

So pics have surfaced of this toy colored TM Cyclonus.

I like it but would’ve preferred the arms have remained purple even though it wouldn’t be accurate in vehicle mode.

The comic ran from fall 1993 to summer 1994, so I guess it maybe makes sense that the new 1994 molds were the only ones that really featured. (And all the new 1994 toys did manage to appear--except for Megatron, whose Hero toy probably didn't show up on account of his big tank toy getting top billing.)
