That's a question not easily answered. Let's leave aside anyone else and just focus on ourselves as individuals. Don't you think it's a good idea to be as good a citizen as you can?

I appreciate the question. I am good citizen (or good human being) because I don't force or initiate force on other individuals (nor do I advocate) against their rights (right to life and right to their property). That to me is a good idea/framework for life in this world.

Not a fan of either character. And to be frank, unless Naoto Tsushima screws up Black Optimus (and not Nemesis Prime, as TFwiki once presumed), which is highly unlikely, I will even like him more than Prime. But with his new look... And Triple-Changer-turned-Targetmaster companion... I have to say that I dig it. Same with Bumblebee.

Not the toys, as their small size does not appeal to me and Bumblebee looks like he has ears. But, never the less, I might consider either one if TOMY ever does decide to make a larger version of them.

Order over $25 and get free shipping.

Ordered both, along with Skystalker so I could get free shipping. It's yet another Optimus and Bumblebee, and I don't care much for retro-G1 in and of itself, but I do like those little triplechanging targetmaster guys.

Roller transforming!? BLASPHEMY!

Have you never seen that awesome third party roller? I forget what it's called, but google it!

Why do galleries always make toys so much more enticing?

I really want that Optimus. I dare say it's the best commander version of him yet.

It's a Legends class, not a Commander.

Though, not "Legends" as in what we've had since the Cybertron line (that's now known as "Legion class"). This is a new "Legends" class that's taller than Legion but shorter than Commander.

It's good to see Ryan having fun while doing these too:

Whatever, it's still I think it's the best looking small prime.

yes I have. That is what I meant, mine just won't go any farther. It even shows in the instructions that the nose cone is supposed to tuck away more.

I have a couple of pictures for you of what I think you are trying to do. Have you had any luck yet? The cannon takes some force to put into the correct position.

Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to do. It wasn't the cannon that was the problem, it was the nose cone not folding down all the way. I shaved off some rubber from the nose cone where it was hitting and it works fine now.

How can they make such a nice OP but such a poor Bee? In terms of articulation he really puts Bee to shame.

In all fairness, I think the lack of the head turning is the only articulation point that Bumblebee is missing.

I'd love to see someone come up with some instructions on how to cut off the head and modify the toy so Bumblebee's head could turn.

I wouldn't mind seeing a video of bee getting decapitated..... Again and again and again

While that may be true, OP has ball joint knees and elbows, which replace thigh/bicep swivels.

Upgrading the neck shouldn't be hard but I don't want the figure so I won't be doing it!

I don't see any problem with BB's articulation. For a $10 Legend/Scout class figure, I can overlook a head that doesn't turn.

A head that doesn't turn means I overlook the whole figure!

Seibertron.com member Depthcharge27 found Generations Legends Class Optimus with Roller and Bumblebee with Blazemaster.

Take a look at Seibertron.com's galleries of these two and then click the links below to order!

Bumblebee with Blazemaster @ HTS



Optimus Prime with Roller @ HTS



Both are $9.99 each and in stock and ready to ship now. Can't wait to get the figures, wanna see more? Check out the galleries, feel free to join the discussion and give us your thoughts and comments.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, and the best galleries around!

These are fun little toys. I just wish Bumblebee's head rotated.

these guys look like great figures but $10 is to much, and here i though PCCs were overpriced.

Meh, I'll consider getting at least Bumblebee once I get the Triple Changers.

Just a quick question: are their hands 5mm ports? If so, does that mean that their Targetmasters' weapon modes/other weapons are backwards-compatible with other figures? That'll be the deciding factor in getting more after Bumblebee.

I like them both, and I think they're totally worth $10 each.

Their weapons seem to have 5 mm pegs. When I tried putting them in the hands of some Classics and Beast Hunters, they fit fine, although the fit was a little loose.

I also tried putting some 5 mm weapons from other figures into Legends OP and BB's hands/ports, and they all fit fine.

Thanks.

Now I feel more inclined to pick Optimus up, only for the sake of Roller.

I'm glad they're selling these , but shipping kind of kills the deal. I'd be more inclined to buy more from HasbroToyShop, but the free ship starts at $50, and... there just isn't much to interest me now that all the good BH Voyagers are sold out. Shucks...

If I had a group of 5 friends that were into this locally, and everyone chipped in... no, still a lot of trouble. $7 shipping on one figure is insane, Hasbro. Stick it in a bubble envelope or something!

Clearly, you don't understand INFLATION!
