Transformers Legacy toyline

Black Lio Convoy doesn't look very black, instead it's burnished steel... which is fine, I guess, but I doubt it's what most people are looking for.

Dirge's tan seems a bit too bright, but could just be the lighting.

Armada Megs looks great but looks to really miss his accessories and needs something to hold in robot mode, like Leader-1 or a shiv or something. Can his tank cannon swivel around to his hip?

Devon does look a little weirdly off, mainly the spindly upper legs? Might look better in other poses.

Happy to see the Junkion molds getting new color schemes, but I like all the old parts on the Scraphook mold way better than the remolded parts on Axel Grease.

Are those the final colors for Nemesis or are big chunks still prototype and the end one will be mostly purple?

 

[lightsyder]

Those are test colors for Nemesis. It'll be purple when they get the final copy for photos which I think they said would be in a few weeks.

Thoughts:

Beachcomber and Devcon both look great. Both very "Stepped from the Cartoon" perfect. The bird with Beachcomber is a fun neat touch.

Axlegrease looks AMAZING. The Colors and design looks like it could have absolutely been a background extra in G1S3 and given I always wanted toys of those as a kid she really hits some awesome buttons for me.

Dont care about either of the Voyagers. I'm torn on Armada Prime and Megatron. I've not been buying modern Armada updates because 1) I can't buy everything and 2) the Minicon actions were such a big part of what made the originals fun they just seem lacking without. BUT the original Armada Megs is my favorite Megs toy ever and Prime looks good too. They are tempting. Might end up wishlist stuff.

Nemesis is not perfect, there are a few things I would have done a little different, BUT I love the concept and she looks plenty good enough that I want her to go with the Ark.


-ZacWilliam, hoping Dion/Erial are as easy to get as Trion/Orion...

Pulling up the live stream, a lot of the toys do look a lot better on video than they do in the official shots. BLC looks much more black, Axel Grease looks way cooler, etc. And Armada Megs does have the waist cannon.

Love the Nemesis!

Beachcomber cleans up nice... I wasn't going to get him but I might now. The bird is ridiculous.

Devcon looks extremely good for being a Blurr retool. Hadn't planned on getting him either, but I kinda want to now.

Alexgrease looks pretty good all things considered, but I'm a little bummed that she's going to clash so much with the other junkions. Guess my SS RotB Scourge has a coconspiritor now. Supposedly she's going to be a pretool of Lockdown, and her keeping the hook seems to gel with that idea. Shame, she's going to be a short Lockdown.

Copy Convoy looks pretty accurate to the show. Shame he got painted pupils and Lio Convoy did not. Not planning on getting either version though.

Armada Megatron and Optimus are definitely great looking updates to the originals, but they lack a lot of the charm due to the lack of minicons and minicon functions. I'm trying to avoid getting tons of Primes and Megatrons so I'll probably skip this.

Shame the Nemesis was a prototype (and my heart goes out to the guy trying to transform a prototype while it's actively falling part). Figured she wasn't going to with an additional figure, and that was a bit of a bummer to be proven right on. Otherwise she looks really good and I like they're at least giving her guns, which is something I missed from the Ark. Can't wait to see her in the proper colors. Love that headsculpt and the battle mask.

Echoing the comments hoping the War Dawn 2 pack isn't hard to come by.

Preordered Axle Grease, Devcon, and the mini Dinobots. Still crazy that we're getting an official Devcon toy.

Definitely excited about the Nemesis. Both the ship mode and robot mode look great.

I love the insanity of a 5mm ported bird friend for Beachcomber, but I have the PotP one already so I can skip this one.

 

[Darth_Prime]

Got Megatron and Dirge pre ordered. Did they mention any re releases of Thrust and Ramjet?

 

[Blot]

Beachcomber's packaging is officially "Beachcomber & Paradise Parakeet"
Axel Grease's "bio" in the product page is

Axlegrease is a Junkion you don’t want to cross. Her massive arsenal of weaponry makes her a deadly foe.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I really don't see any difference in this release of Dirge and the Earthrise release. Am I missing something or is he pretty much the same?

Basically they admit how hard that 2pk was to get and want to make them available again.

 

[Gizmoboy]

Okay, just making sure I didn't need to order this one as well. Thanks @Shadewing

Ordered Megatron and Axel. Devcon is sold out currently.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Was he shortpacked or are people really excited to have an official Devcon figure

Hasbro has been keeping them pretty even packed. Apparently, some are REALLY excited for a Devcon figure.

I just put in my order for Dirge and Beachcomber. Love me some minibots and Dirge is a childhood favorite. I'm playing the waiting game and see if/when Hasbro does an Armada Galvatron, but I AM finding a surprising amount of...nostalgia?!...for Armada. God, we're getting old...

She got sidelined for budget reasons, but I LOVE Axelgrease's deco. That blue and pink just scream "1988" to me.

That Beachcomber and Armada Megatron are tempting to me. The Beachcomber I have is pretty good, but I want to see a size comparison to the rest of the 84 and 85 bots before I decide to upgrade him.

He's apparently available on Hasbro Pulse again.

I just noticed that. I wish Pulse would let you add things to an existing order.

If Axel Grease has inverted Junkion colors then shouldn't it be blue and green instead of blue and purple? I think the Junkion colors are more orange and red.
