Site sponsor Robotkingdom received their shipment of Hasbro Transformers GDO wave 1, which consists of:

Hoist (RtS Trailcutter repaint with new weapon)
Motorbreath (RtS Optimus Prime repaint with new sword)
Thundercracker (RtS Starscream repaint with new weapon)
Bluestreak (RtS Prowl repaint with new weapon)

They've posted additional in-package images including bios, check them out below.

BLUESTREAK hates war, but he hates the DECEPTICONS even more. With his home city destroyed at the command of MEGATRON, he has nothing to return to, and nothing to lose. His constant, good-natured talking hides the pain and loss he only releases in combat.

HOIST isn't the scientist that AUTOBOT RATCHET is. All he is, is a top-notch field medic and maintenance 'bot. Without HOIST, the AUTOBOTS would quickly fall apart, as it is his maintenance schedule that keeps them rolling - and fighting - at peak efficiency.

The troops under his command hate MOTORBREATH, but they fear him more. The same could be said of many AUTOBOTS. The cruel warrior delights in nothing so much as the tortured screams of an enemy's chassis being blasted apart by his cannons.

The might sonic booms that echo in the wake of his passage strike terror into all those who oppose THUNDERCRACKER. Though he is not wholly devoted to the DECEPTICON cause, he does take great joy in raining destruction down on fearful AUTOBOTS trapped on the ground beneath him.

I'll probably pick up Bluestreak but I'm not sure about the rest. Thundercracker is tempting.

This Hoist will have to do, if only to keep Trailbreaker happy

They'll be nice little additions to my my Legends Army.

I *was* going to only get Bluestreak, but the more I see of these the more I want the lot of them. ;-)

With Hoist added, we're only missing Skids from the first three years of Autobot cars.

Ooh, please give us a Skywarp too.

Motorbreath doesn't sound very Motormaster-y. No sign of any rivalry with Optimus, no "King of the Road" arrogance, hey, not even a mention of the Stunticons (or even hinting that his troops are car-based Decepticons). For all we know, this could be an entirely new guy who isn't Motormaster that leads an ambiguous troop of Decepticons.

The only classics Ledgends I own are Sandstorm and Hound. Lets keep it that way. :lol:

(Yes, I regret passing Brawn, Cosmos, Beachcomber, Wheelie, and Cyberverse Guzzle)
