Transformers Legacy toyline

Turns out it’s actually a Power Rangers collaboration.

But is Velocitron Cosmos like Netflix Soundwave where Walmart owns the mold for a certain amount of time? That’s why we haven’t seen Earth mode Soundwave in regular Hasbro packaging because it’s Walmarts to do with as they please. If Walmart owns Cosmos, Hasbro may not be able to do a PR with him, unless they work something out.

How long does Walmart own that mold for anyway? Gotta figure that’s why we got a clean siege PR vs the Netflix Earth mode.

No one knows. Goldbug means the Bumbleebee one recently became free. Speculation is SG Soundwave will be the Boombox version.

 

[Swerve]

Is the Bumblebee mold free or is it a loophole because it is Goldbug? I'll never understand the inner workings of this.

 

[Sabrblade]

Goldbug had a different deco and headsculpt.

Looking forward to a Polygon Pictures studio series-esque toyline in like 10 years with a focus on making all the rid15 decepticons

By then, a Deluxe will be $45, and Steeljaw will still be one per case at a random retailer.

Heh, no way would Legacy make him look that faithful in robot mode. He'd get a more humanoid head with only vague dog-like facial features, and would stand more upright.

Also no tail. Geewun-ification would remove the silly furry tail.

Chances are he'd probably end up looking something like Kup, Ironhide, or Trailbreaker.

Or Tarantulas, Inferno, Megalo Convoy, Jhiaxus...

Or Tarantulas, Inferno, Megalo Convoy, Jhiaxus...

Those guys weren't G1-ified because they weren't as stylized as the Prime, Animated, and RID'15 designs. According to this current Hasbro team, stylized designs like that get G1-ified, sadly.

Why is the tail upside down on the old figure?

 

[wonko the sane?]

I'm not overly happy with the drab colour scheme of the new one... but I'm still going to buy it.

 

[Dake]

Why is the tail upside down on the old figure?

Someone forgot to convert it?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

The original is very weird. It seems like the tail might have been assembled upside down and this never got fixed.

It's just left in its configuration for robot mode.

 

[Superomegaprime]

The original looks like its got the nicer shade of red than the Legacy verison.

 

[MrBlud]

I feel like the Legacy version is going for “accuracy” in that a :ahem: real Dragon would have more muted colors/scales.

The Beast Wars one is unquestionably a toy and has bright, striking colors.

 

[Shadewing]

It's going for accuracy in that Dragon Megatron was slightly more darker colors in the cartoon:

I can't help but notice that the new figure does NOT include the classic Barrister's Wig as shown in the above cartoon clip. This is a mistake.

 

[Shadewing]

There really needs to be a BW Megatron accessories kit. Rubber Ducky, Barrister's wig and Gavel, maybe golden disk reader for the eventual TM1 Megatron that we'll likely see at some point.

I'm waiting for a third party to just make the whole hot tub.
