Transformers Legacy toyline

[Sciflyer]

I really do like her deco more than I expected to. Although I don't like the vehicle mode as much for her (works much better as the intended Elita-1), the robot mode is pretty nice - even with the loss of the headmaster feature. Glad to hear that she's finally hitting the shelves.

Beast Machines is one of the lines where I'd actually want the RED series to cover it. The Vehicons are one thing, but no physical toy will ever be able to capture the transmorphing of the Maximals (and given the plot, I kinda see show-accuracy as important here; the Maximals were something completely new, not just another line of folded-up-robots).

I'd be perfectly happy with articulated figures in beast/robot two-packs.

I agree about the Maximals. They would come out much better in a RED capacity than trying to make actual toys that match the look of the characters. BlastPunch primal was the only toy of the Maximals that actually pulled off the look and feel of the cartoon.

I have to admit though, the Vehicons are what I'm really wanting. Imagine that.

BlastPunch primal was the only toy of the Maximals that actually pulled off the look and feel of the cartoon.

A pity he was stuck with Optimal Optimus's colors instead of his own proper cartoon colors.

I am still baffled that not even Takara gave him the right colors in their Beast Wars Returns release.

Yeah, her alt mode is the one thing I don't really like about her. And its not that she's not a porche or anything; its just that the car mode just doesn't look that good at all imo.

Legacy Evolution Wave 2
Grimlock is like Classic Pretender Grimlock, a brick.
Crashbar, Prowl and Shrapnel are nice figures, it's great to see Animated get some love.
Metalhawk could have done with some extra deco on his chest and a metallic silver sword.
Can't wait for Skyquake to arrive.

Well, this came out of nowhere. Ariel and Dion War Dawn 2-pack.

Transformers Legacy: Evolution War Dawn 2-Pack Revealed

Thanks to 2005 Boards member Leobreaker1977 we have quite a surprise to share with you. A new Transformers Legacy: Evolution War Dawn 2-Pack has just been found a Gamestop in Canada. From what we can see in the box art, this pack consists of Dion and Ariel Erial. Unfortunately, we still have no...

Oh come on, I don’t need more to buy Hasbro.

(Will totally buy these)

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Speculation is that its Legacy Arcee and '86 Kup for the retools, which... that won't stop me from buying this, but man does that sap a lot of my enthusiasm. Already have Legacy Arcee, Flame War and Orion Pax, so I've had my fill of those molds.

 

[The Predaking]

I am going to wait to see what they look like, but I probably won't pick up this set.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I absolutely love how many Pre-Earth Cartoon designs we've been getting. I am going to need this to make a display with Orion, Alpha Trion, BB, Jazz, (hopefully) Guardian robot, and maybe WFCs Soundwave and Laserbeak.

-ZacWilliam, they need to do the Dropkick drones and their Shipping Crate Warriors to complete War Dawn

They got a character named "scraphook" and they couldn't pop the extra A in erial's name?

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Given the prominence of the energon cube on the front, I'm surprised this pack doesn't come with a pile of them.

I'm gonna assume that's an "Disney, Please don't sue us" name change.

-ZacWilliam, which may be over cautious but that how Lawyers be sometimes.

 

[Andrusi]

It also makes the name look more similar to "Elita."

Looks like they just swapped around the "A" and the "E" in "Ariel".

 

[Lobjob]

I mean, I'm not one to be greedy but it seems everything is on the table, i might need this guy from that Dion/Kup.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I'm going to pass on this one, nothing against the molds but I don't feel the need to own Dion & Erial, thou if they are being sold discounted I might buy it, thou I'm waiting for Armada Optimus to go up for Pre-order Prime V Prime on youtube just done a review of the figure, yet its not been offically revealed or up for pre-order

 

[Shadewing]

It also makes the name look more similar to "Elita."

Which makes some sense and aligns with Orion Pax having the same first letters in his name.

 

[The Predaking]

Seeing the toys on the back, I am going to pass on them too. I might get them on sale at Ross's later, but not anything I particularly want/have room for on my shelves.
