Yup. I was planning to buy Cyclonus no matter what, but I'm liking him more and more with each pic.

I certainly hope so, or this might be a transition to the Go-Bots universe....

Not really liking that there is going to be so much size variation throughout the Legends class figures. Warpath will be ridiculously small compared to the Seekers and so will Huffer when he comes out. This is what I hate about Hasbro constantly recycling stuff. it's bad enough when it's through one one but when they carry the stuff over to the next and they make changes in the size classes then it just looks stupid as well as lazy.

Bitching aside, I'm warming up to Warpath and I will certainly get Viper and most of the rest of the Legends but I'm liking the Seeker design less and less the more I see of it.
Rodimus is one they lost me on too. The vehicle design doesn't suck but the weapon is just laughable. An afterthought, and a poorly done one at that, just to make his spoiler/wing tie in with him.

Well to be fair, defensor always had his head as a part of hot spots ladder, it's just moved up the ladder...

Ok, I'll bite: Warpath is a retool of Legends Megatron, just without Chop Shop:



Sad, but true, the Legends Class contains only 4 unique molds:

- Powerglide
- Bombshell
- Blackjack
- Protectobot Groove

... with 2 pretools:

- Decepticon Viper
- Rodimus

The rest are all redecos or retools from last years Thrilling 30 line.

I'm conflicted about Hot Spot. The vehicle mode looks too long. I hope that head is just mistransformation. What bothers me most is the mesh behind his back. Head sculpt and color looks great though. A bit brighter blue than I'd hoped but spot on.

I guess, worst case, they make a new-mold Onslaught, in which case I'll cave and get Hotspot so I can turn him into RID Optimus.

I would dig a Fire Convoy/Super Fire Convoy retool of Hotspot/Defensor. Particularly if they paint it in the colours of my All-Yellow version. God damn, thinking of that toy makes me wanna visit home and dig it out of storage.

So many mistransformations.
