Transformers Legacy toyline

[lastmaximal]

It's almost like we have different tastes, or something.

Leaving aside that for now, I guess that after all this time, the alleged Glyph/Tapout release leaked a whiiiile back has been debunked or (assuming it was ever true) has been canceled/abandoned? Heard about it, then stopped hearing about it, and I don't generally pursue leaked info or discussion so I never found out anything more.

Because as much as this little issue sticks in my craw, I do like this mold well enough to keep painting up versions of it and these are two characters I want to see. And if I have to paint them myself, well... sure.

I couldn't find the one for Bumblebee though.

I would think that they want to avoid making all repaints from the same molds for a number of reasons. One could be that they want us to buy versions of upcoming molds?

The fact that people gave the reasons why they didn't care for the partsforming on the ER Cliffjumper mold and then someone goes 'I can't imagine how it would bother anyone' is like

???????

Everyone's welcome to like what they want. It's ok. If some facet of a toy bothers you, that's valid, didn't intend to imply otherwise. I was more commenting on my own mindset on the matter, it's such a nonissue to me personally, such a deeply unnoticed innocuous thing, it feels deeply weird to be reminded that anyone cares about it.

Again that's not saying there's anything wrong with caring. I certainly have my nit picky likes and dislikes too. I passionately hate "elbow curl" style arm articulation where the hands are at a perminent 90 degrees to the elbow. Absolutely ruins any figure for me no matter how cool it is otherwise. (Looks at Cybertron Scourge). I'm sure that there are folks out there that can't imagine that ruining a figure, so I get it.

-ZacWilliam, more just saying the parts forming thing is so far from being something I personally care about I'm always surprised when others do.

I also hate "gorilla/muscle-builder arms" too. I really hated the "cr@pple-damage" paint of most of the Siege line, the unfinished rear end of Astrotrain, the awful design of the recent Blitzwing, most of the anime-"accurate" (sic) MPs and the short stature of Siege Shockwave, which is why I didn't bother with most of them.

Everyone has their arbitrary lines. Usually partsforming is one for me but for reasons that boil down to how much I like the rest of the mould and how the partsformed part is used it doesn't cross my arbitrary line.

But these lines for everyone are, as I said, arbitrary. Why do people like a mould? They just do. Why do they dislike a mould? They just do.

While you all are going back and forth about a 3 year old mold we’ve gotten a ton of already…JtPrime posted new listings, including a Star Seeker sub line for Walmart next year. My biggest sad face about that is the lack of the original mass market pirate, Cannonball.

I'm most thrilled to see Filch there.
I've wanted a toy of her since her appearance on RiD.

-ZacWilliam, some other cool listings too, but Filch is the one that made me excited.

Roadpig also has my interest; which is hopefully a new mold. Gets us both Laser Cycles; and means maybe we can get G2 Laser Soundwave; also potential now for an RiD Axor vs Sideways two pack homage. Maybe even use him as Armada Sideways as a homage to RM Doubleface.

Well we do have an unnamed "Deluxe 1" on there; maybe that could be Cannonball. He'd probably be a remold of Crankcase if it was.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Deluxe Slipstream

Hoo boy, some people are going to be salty about her being a deluxe.

 

[NovaSaber]

She's probably a retool of Windblade.

"Deluxe" doesn't have to mean "noticeably shorter than a Voyager." They've been more than willing to make short or tall Deluxes based on some semblance of what they think scale should be so... I'm going to wait and see before getting upsetti spaghetti.

 

[Echowarrior]

Well, I'm no longer worried about the Toxitron collection. Jazz was just purchased on eBay, and a friend on Facebook was able to score me Sideswipe and Dead End.

I for one would have welcomed mass retail releases for Glyph and Tap-Out.

Also, yay, new listings! Quake, Roadpig and Filch are definites, Ferak is a likely purchase, I'm curious about Thundertron, I'll probably bite on the WFC Decepticon Infantry...and I can probably pass on the rest.

 

[CrockAlley]

but G1 Downshift has yet to receive a second toy.

Who would have guessed we'd see Generations updates of the Powerdashers before the Omnibots?

 

[MrBlud]

Are we thinking Nightshade remold/premold or PrOwl premold for Filch?

 

[Shadewing]

She's probably a retool of Windblade.

That would make sense, since she's previously been one.

 

[Shadewing]

Are we thinking Nightshade remold/premold or PrOwl premold for Filch?

That's if she's not a retool of Airrazor.

Watch her end up being something like a mere redeco of Kingdom Airazor with only a new robot head.
