From the looks of it, mini Scorpy is capable of transforming into the fanmade Japanese Monster/Dragon mode. He's already a definite buy to me, but that would make him a great Mini-Me to my monster Dlx Scorp

New legends?
Holy crap scorponok! It's AWESOME! he's so cute but better looking than the deluxe at the same time! i'm lovin him!
i don't like the way they did the "battle damage" on jazz. It looks the same as on that "voyager" animated prime.
this ice megatron is just pathetic. he's got a less detailed paintjob than the original (and that one was FANTASTIC). boo.
but still, i'm absolutely amazed by the scorponok.
Pleeeeease, hasbro, ship some of the 2-packs to poland!

I'll jump on the "Scorps looks bloody fantastic" bandwagon, I reallt dig it. I have passed on legends Bumblebee several times, but to get Scorpy, I may risk it.

Actually, the Legends Megatron is by far the most movie accurate of the four movie Megatron toy molds.

Indeed. He is. Now i wonder why does the FAB not transform like the legends buddy. This just does not make ANY sense.

This Legend Scorponok is even better than Deluxe version. It's got real legs, and the tail can be folded up.

Dam. I should have waited for this before buying Deluxe.

Who hoo!!! I love Legends Class bots. Scorponok looks awesome!

That would definitely be cool, but I don't think it'll work out. You'd have to be able to rotate his pincers out flat, and given that the average movie legends figure only has twelve parts, I doubt it can do that.

If they ever come individually, I might get a second Scorpy and reglue them just for the fun of it.

His pincers seem unarticulated, but they don't end in a point, more like a flat surface, which might be enough to make him stand on his pincers. Too bad his scorpion legs are inmobile, for they had to form the hands of Dragon Scorp.

Yeah, won't be perfect, but there's probably just about enough posability to get the overall effect.

So the bumblebee had 2 battle damage marks that are new too?

by **Rushie** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 10:26 am

They're only painted on, which apparently counts as different enough to call him a repaint. Meh, they should've switched the yellow and black and call him Stealth BB.

And now we've got three very similar Jazz Legends figs. They could've been the Original, FB damage Jazz and G1 homage Jazz

I was just at Target and saw a few 2 packs, but not this one.
As much as I like the look of 'Nok, I can't stand that Bumblebee.
So far I only like the looks of Scorpy, Bonecrusher, and reg. Jazz.

Scorponok's robot mode is leagues better than the deluxe's. He has real legs now, and overall just looks more transformed.

I missed out on the legends first time around, so I'll be getting these.

What's really funny is how out of scale the legends are. I mean, Jazz is now bigger than Megatron. Must be a hastle to tear that in half :lol:

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 6:00 pm

All legends are about 4 inches tall.

Legends Jazz is 1/52 scale.

Legends Megatron 1/142 scale.

If you want those two to scale, try using Legends Jazz with Voyager Megatron. He's 1/59 scale.

I'm attaching a picture of what they would look like in scale as toys.
