The numbering system not included the Constructicons. Check out Takara website for item 1-8 at the Ez Collections section

Well, if I remember it right, the first wave consisted of OP, Megatron (both without battle damage), Bumblebee, Jetfire, Starscream, Springer, Sideswipe, & Ratchet.

i want that wheelie! will the wheelie be released in the states?

by **Valandar** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 10:23 am

Is it so wrong that the Legends Wheelie actually looks more like the movie figure than Deluxe Wheelie?

I want that Wheelie, Soundwave, and Sideways for sure. Why is it that Takara gets a normal Ironhide, and we get a red one? :-?

The US will be getting the black Ironhide, but only as part of the Target-exclusive 'Straightaway Shootout' box set.

The Ironhide and Soundwave look very nice. However they're Legends, and I'll pass.

So is hasbro releasing these too? I must have Soundwave.

I'd be extremely surprised if these didn't see a US release. Wheelie and Soundwave were first unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con, and many of these also showed up in Wal-Mart's computer system as long ago as April...

Wheelie looks cool and Soundwave has an interesting brutish look to its robot mode.

I think Wheelie and Soundwave are great!

Hehe

Soundwave's mini-head in satellite mode is pretty funny.

The more I see these size class figures, the more I like them. They grow on you!

I don't buy many Legends, but:

Legends Wheelie is a must-buy for me. I passed on the Deluxe.

And Legend Soundwave is kind of neat and cute, so I'll probably get him.
