Transformers Legacy toyline

[The Phazer]

Yeah, Beast Machines is just not a brilliant show. And it's better toys are the ones that aren't remotely accurate to their appearance (the early Vehicons - Tankor and Jetstorm in particular are really fun toys, but bear no resemblance to their characters), or weren't show characters (Battle Unicorn) or weren't released in Beast Machines (Megabolt Megatron and Air Attack Optimus).

 

[Suspsy]

I still don’t enjoy the first season of BM, but the second season was a big improvement.

As for the toys, I never really liked the designs of the Maximals, but all the Vehicons were great. I’d love a Legacy Strika at the Voyager size. A Deluxe Thrust might also be neat.

Beast Machines is hardly the WORST thing we've gotten in the past 20 years.

I mean... Beast Machines isn't a thing we've gotten in the past 20 years.

Stop reminding us of the unstoppable march of time and, with it, our inevitable deaths!

 

[Salt-Man Z]

The BM show was gorgeous and mostly still holds up visually. The worst part about it now is in being able to binge episodes, seeing how much of the first season is just repetitive running.

The toyline is still a thing of brilliance that gave us some of the most absolutely-bonkers-out-there designs in the entire franchise.

...Evolution Revolution is still cool...

 

[Glitch]

Beast Machines NOT a matrix knock off like that ghastly Sonic Underground with it's oracle and resistance up against a mechanical empire.



Oh wait.

Oh wait.

Sonic Underground was a watered down knock off of Sonic SatAM.

 

[Andrusi]

Beast Machines was a Sonic Underground knockoff???

Reading through the q&a on tfw
Hope they're serious about wanting to make all of the 13 eventually

Not entirely sure what I'd even want then to do with Solus beyond getting the hammer accessory right

Don't fall for their tricks. Hasbro is just going to be releasing Shockwave 13 times under different names.

They read my letter! What an honor.....

 

[unluckiness]

What an ill-advised decision. Putting aside the designs not being anything to write home about and the propensity for cybertronian modes to devolve into roboyoga, it kinda cheapens their presence. They kinda work as these vague unknowable beings that set the stage for lore instead of making it.

“veritable gods of ancient Cybertronian lore have descended, their unfathomable power lost to the untold eons passed but in no way diminished. With the ability to wield the primordial forces to incalculable magnitudes, they will once again walk our realm and prove their worthiness to be recognized as deities.”

“Buy Prima or his wavemates Landfill and Energon Ironhide for $19.99 plus tax”

I get your point, but you're also too late what with cybertron Vector Prime being old enough to vote

also I mainly just want a cool hammer lady and maybe a rad winged centaur

 

[MrBlud]

Should we, should we tell him about Haslab Unicron?

 

[unluckiness]

Which one? The one the space monkey built, the Galactus ripoff, the Earth, the one Shockwave built or the Earth again? Could also be all of those at once.

They’ve messed up Unicron’s backstory that it’s not a big deal and he interacts with modern TFs often enough that i wouldn’t think anyone would mind.

 

[Future_Erika]

This interaction is giving me some deja vu.

Anyway Legacy Road Rocket is specifically intended to be a kunoichi.

God I'm gonna end up with so many of that bike

 

[Shadewing]

Has Road Rocket ever had enough characterization in... anything that this can't be retroactively fitted into their previous versions?

 

[unluckiness]

One of the Japan-only early 2000s lines had Road Rocket as a ninja IIRC

Forgot if it was Car Robots or Robot Masters

 

[Andrusi]

Robot Masters. If she'd been in Car Robots, her mold probably wouldn't have turned up in RID01 as the original Sideways.
