That's why they were so fun.
Too bad the only possible fusors are the show characters and their repaints.

It's not like they can be handwaved as another "distant colony" IE IDW Maximals. They are literally protoform malfunctions.

But Legacy isn't line-wide. It's cherry picking from the non-G1 lines. You're not going to get Car Robots Ultra Magnus* or Animated Dinobots.
Legacy Air Hammer or Terragator wouldn't make sense, since they don't have a legacy to represent. Even in the Beast Era.
*I would have said Car Robots Gigatron. But that's one I really want...

Much like how even the 3P currently doing MP Beast Wars Transmetals won't touch these...

Nemesis Primal wrote:...yeah I gotta agree with Emerje here, we're at the point where we're getting Cyberverse Chromia and Prime Thundertron in Legacy next year and Kaskade this year, I don't think the criteria for getting into Legacy is as involved as this argument is trying to make it out to be.
Also thanks to Cyberverse Air Hammer technically has a show appearance now.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Emerje wrote:There's literally nothing preventing those figures from happening in Legacy.
They are not Prime, Megatron or BB. No one else seems to get alternate versions of their namesakes in the same line.

Crasher has Legacy. As a name and visual design. Plus Fem Bots are en vogue and she was the first (If I recall correctly?).
Emerje wrote:Characters don't get used because Hasbro doesn't think they'd sell.
Exactly. That's why non-show/media characters like Air Hammer and Terragator are in this thread.

Precedent.
The Dinobots:
The retail line figures have been released in groups of roughly 3-5 characters every two to three years. Aside from the recent Core Class. They have never been released in concurrent lines at the same time. The Leader Class line ain't even finished yet. I doubt there are additional plans in place for the complete Animated Dinobots in Legacy. Let alone the Gamer Series Dinobots. The Leader Class line is very much being touted as the definitive Dinobots, for a reason.
Plus, just to nip this in the bud. Legacy was never going to feature every version of every character from everything. It is just naïve to think otherwise.

Crasher, Antagony and other prior BotCon/comic book-only characters are getting represented here because they are Fem Bots. Hence "Fem Bots are en vogue" ala why Nemesis has a Fem Bot altmode at all. Not forgetting of course the product information "inspired by the character's appearance in the Transformers comics." is nebulous enough to mean whatever HasTak wants.

THIS (Legacy). IS. IT. I wouldn't have thought that point was rocket science? These Junkion designs are debuting here. Much like, again, the Bot Mode for Nemesis. Therefore, back on topic, aside from the Show characters. The only chance for a Fuzor to make it into a modern line and not this thread. Would be if they were specifically newly made for it.
Don't Torca and Sky Shadow have repaints that were show characters in Japan? That's how Tasmania Kid/Snarl got into next year's mainline roster.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Torca, Sky Shadow or Snarl can't be anything else.

I should have prefaced that the Snarl was I referring to was the Dinobot. Namesakes in the franchise can be such a headache at times...

The G1 Stegosaurus, or the Animated Triceratops?

we are talking about. If there's a mold, there WILL be repaints / retools sooner or later.
