Honestly, if we got something like G1 Seaspray today, people would be darn near up in arms.

If you don't think it makes a good Seaspray, then simply don't call it that! Call it Waterlog, or Oceanglide, or Storm Surge, or Splashdown, or Power Run, or Strikedown, or Waver, or Shortround, or darn near anything else like that. It looks like it'll be a decent figure, so don't be holding G1 nostalgia against it the way most did with Powerglide.

And for the record, I'm a HUGE G1 fan. I just don't let it get in the way of judging a figure on its own merits.



I agree, but with Powerglide, I held his ginormous blob body and head with his tiny arms and floppy legs against him, not G1 nostalgia!

No, we wouldn’t.

Reference Legends Brawn, Beachcomber, Warpath, or Wheelie for confirmation that small, simple homages to small simple G1 characters is exactly what we want.

I like the look of him. He has the blocky design of the bots from Energon.
Just hope he's not meant to be in the ROTF line though, the aesthetic doesn't match up.

Except ALL of those you quoted have MUCH better robot modes than G1 Seaspray.

I did not mean that if a figure that homaged G1 Seaspray was released in Legends size, I meant if G1 Seaspray had never been invented, and we got that figure today, it would be an uproar. No articulation except at the shoulders, legs nothing but skinny sticks, one solid foot, undefined arms, no real paint apps, seemingly random colors - people WOULD be upset.

G1 Wheelie has a better robot mode than Seaspray? G1 Warpath has essentially the same transformation as Seaspray. Brawn is just a terrible looking G1 figure.

While having new Legends figures improving on the original awful Minibots is cool, for me there's no nostalgia tying a specific homage to a specific size class. If they think they can do a badass Seaspray at Voyager size, let em do it. I was pretty happy with Powerglide overall (except the colors and that defect that kept the arms from locking to the engines).

You referenced the LEGENDS version. I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying.

Imagine G1 Seaspray never came out.

Imagine the current Legends Wheelie, Warpath, Brawn, and Cosmos came out as they really did.

Then imagine G1 Seaspray was released as a Legends class.

People would be pissed. THAT is the point I'm making.

If you ignore that the upcoming Voyager class is supposed to be a G1 minibot, it actually looks like a pretty darn good figure. And thus I really don't get why people would refuse to get it just because "it isn't Seaspray".
