I bet no one will agree with me; but, I hope they reuse Superion's head for a future Computron, like CW did. It's a perfect looking Superion head, but after CW figures and show, Computron has a faceplate now for me. Also I am only buying Slingshot, and will buy the complete possible future Computron. So the heads being the same is my own selfish preference. Most of the time I am nearer on the scale to G1 Sunbow purist, but they changed my mind on this one.

I keep forgetting about SS86 Leader megs, I just really hope it delivers the first time out and it's not another three version later when it's "perfect". lol Namely a UM Prime thing in terms of G1 animation aesthetics or numerous other redos like Blaster. Though I know the name of the game is mold usage it its fullest.
I already went out of my way to Get the Previos Cosmos so I won't need this reissue.
SS86 Perceptor with cassettes is severely assaulting my goodwill, I mean why they they keep doing this... Me personally am only after Ramhorn as I already have Perceptor and no use for Ratbat, which means it's me almost impossible to sell off Perceptor to make it worth it after fees and shipping. And maybe it's better than getting yet another release of that non accurate Soundwave, but couldn't they have packed them in with a Bot that isn't so easy to acquire. Like Thrust? lol
So that one is definitely in the maybe category making the Galvatron and Cosmos the only two non buys.
Till-all-R1 wrote:Yeah my list is rather small compared to most since I tend to keep it strictly G1 and only venture out for 1-2 other mediums if I like a design or character from it.
While I was curious if they would revisit the Aerialbots any time soon I wasn't anticipating getting two combiners in the same year! So now instead of six I'm now having to get eleven, five extra which carry along with it a hefty price tag for one. Certainly a significant increase from G1 era and a moderate increase from Combiner wars era. But along with that comes better engineering even if quality in materials has slipped a tad. Luckily for me there's no Titan to add to the list of wants or I'd be really fretting the budget.
There are still a few more I hope to see as I'd like the Minibots finished off fairly soon, top of the list for me would would be Powerglide. He's the one figure that's still way out of scale with the others. Seaspray is somewhat the same size as the new figures so can be overlooked for now, maybe even longer.
Quite the contrary since Legacy United received an extension with an extra wave of Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leaders. A line running for longer than most with extra releases being added to it isn't a sign of flopping, but rather a sign of success.Sowndwave76 wrote:Which leads me to thinking some (not all) of the figures in the Legacy line flopped in terms of sales,
It's probably because of one or two reasons.Sowndwave76 wrote:Again, why would Detritus be in the main line and not an exclusive?? I get it, ER Hound was tied-up in an exclusive debacle. But it's difficult for me to believe that another, more known character, couldn't have been put into that slot.

Sabrblade wrote:2) Someone at Hasbro must have really wanted as many of the Junkion characters as possible available at mass retail last year, both the new ones with the disassembling gimmick and the established preexisting ones. That meant getting Wreck-Gar, Junkyard (labeled "Junkheap" for Trademark purposes), and Junkheap out in Studio Series 86 since they appeared in TFTM, and all of the non-TFTM ones in the main Legacy Evolution line, meaning Detritus would go in the latter since he wasn't in TFTM. Notice also that Detritus's wave is the only one that didn't have a new Junkion in it, so he would be the Junkion of his wave despite his not being a new/disassembling one.
The only wave without a new Deluxe Junkion, specifically, there was Voyager Trashmaster.Sabrblade wrote:Notice also that Detritus's wave is the only one that didn't have a new Junkion in it, so he would be the Junkion of his wave despite his not being a new/disassembling one.
Sowndwave76 wrote:I'm just still very surprised that so many G1 figures, especially SS86 movie-related figures, are coming out this next year rather than in 2026.
Till-all-R1 wrote:I'm a little sad to see SS86 packaging go away, from a MIB perspective it would have been nice to have several of the Bots in that packaging. And though it was aimed at the Movie I feel it could have encapsulated characters that also appeared in in the show soon after.
That said, I'm not chomping at the bit for reissues of every singe Bot that came before it. Especially Soundwave and Astrotrain as I desperately want new versions.
Till-all-R1 wrote:I think the one that surprised me the most were the Aerialbots so soon, especially in the same year as another Combiner. I realize most TF collectors ten to get them all anyway so the addition of another five bots probably isn't that big a deal if they simply took the place of other bots they could have gone with that weren't. But with Combiners comes the drive to get them all whereas with single random bots one might pass on a few other characters.
Till-all-R1 wrote:I almost would have preferred a different Combiner such as Computron etc. so that I could pass on it rather easily. Having both Devestator and Superion two of my favorites as a kid means I can't just play they either or game, I want them both! lol
Till-all-R1 wrote:As for the G1 attention I'd have expected a stronger focus on the actual Movie stuff in two years rather than how it played out, they shot through everything already during the 40th of Transformers as a brand overall. One thing I'd be keen on in 2026 is the return of Unicron as maybe a Titan since they cannot reissue the HasLab. Before that I hope a couple minibots get updated like Powerglide and Swerve
Another triplechanger I'd like to see updated is Octane, he had an arc appearing with Sandstorm and we recently got that figure.
Got curious myself now, here's my count (assuming the box art looks we've seen so far for the rest of AoP are accurate): Is G1 still the majority of what's in the mainline? Always has been, but yeah, it is a lot more easy to notice when the prior line had 20 additional figures. For anything else to take that majority, there'd have to be a concentrated effort from HasTak on updating any one non-G1 cast primarily (or just skipping G1 completely), to the likes of which we haven't seen outside of...Studio Series pre-SS86, really (and even then that's only if don't count each movie separately). Even the big anniversary Beast Wars revival that was Kingdom was over 50% G1: I don't see these numbers and go "They're cutting back on non-G1 cuz it isn't selling", I see that and go "yeah that tracks for how HasTak has been doing this all along".Emerje wrote:Also, I'm not sure I really understand the argument about G1 figures in 2025. Here's the breakdown for G1 figures through Legacy, just the retail stuff, including repacks, no exclusives:
Legacy - 21 in 3 waves
Legacy Evolution - 25 in 4 waves (28 counting new Junkions, 30 counting Comic Universe Tarn and Bludgeon)
Legacy United - 12 in 5 waves (Counting Soundwave as 1)
Age of the Primes - 9 in 3 waves (not including the Primes since they're being inspired by a bunch of different sources)
(Apologies if my count is off.)
If the art we've been shown is accurate, he's a heavy retool of Legacy Bulkhead, yeah. He's also our third total Rescue Bot when one of the other two was already an exclusive repaint, that's way too early to be writing off that entire concept as "doesn't sell".Sowndwave76 wrote:I know nothing about Heatwave as a character, and I'm assuming that's also a repaint/retool.
I don't know if this is supposed to be addressing Evolution Wave 4 or United Wave 4 (since no-subtitle-Legacy was only 3 waves), but both of those Wave 4s were already half G1.Sowndwave76 wrote:And again, it's speculation and opinion, but I wouldn't be shocked if sells dipped with Legacy wave 4 including less G1 characters.

Sabrblade wrote:It's the same thing that Hasbro has done for such brand anniversary years in the past as 2009 (the 25th anniversary) and 2014 (the 30th anniversary), with the both years having toys characters from all across the brand's history in the Universe (2008-2009) line and the Generations Thrilling 30 line. And after each of these lines, they always went back to being less diverse. Not because of any failure on behalf of the non-G1 character sales, but because it's simply what Hasbro does whenever the brand anniversary is over. When the celebration ends, they move on. The fact that Age of the Primes will still have characters from all across the brand after Legacy United ends is unusual and breaking the tradition.
The next big thing coming to store shelves by way of Hasbro are none other than the Thirteen Primes! Within the Transformers mythos, these individuals have been kept largely to obscure fiction and brief appearances, maintaining a veil of mystery tight around them. This past summer, however, the Thirteen were revealed to the world. In a big way! Alpha Trion, Prima, Megatronus, Micronus, Solus Prime, and the whole crew showed up in the Transformers One movie in theaters (and now streaming), making their grand introduction to Transformers enthusiasts outside the hardest of hardcore fans.
We mentioned "obscure fiction", well, we're proud to say some of those pages were from BotCon and the Transformers Collectors Club! Getting to write (and release the first toy!) Nexus Prime and use him as the entry point to the realm of the Thirteen, BotCon cracked the door slightly to let fans see inside what and who these Primes were. The door was then propped open further by Transformers greats like Aaron Archer and Simon Furman, who named and fleshed out the backstories for all Thirteen members of the first Primes to step foot on Cybertron.
Packaging artwork for Solus Prime and Prima were just today posted online in relation to the upcoming Cybertron Con convention in China. Fans are clambering to see how these Primes will be translated into plastic... the majority for the first time as a full transforming action figure.
We wanted to briefly take a look back to the time that BotCon and the TCC had considered creating their own Solus Prime action figure, and the path taken from initial concept to the final proposal made to Hasbro. Nothing came from this endeavor, but it's fun to see the evolution from limited exclusive concept to fully dedicated retail product.
What are your thoughts on what has been revealed for the 2025 Age Of The Prime's toyline? What other Primes are you looking forward to see the most?

IMO, individually the UW Aerialbots look better, but AOP Superion looks better combined. So if I do get the new set, I'll keep the UW guys separate.Nemesis Destron wrote:I think I'll keep UW Superion and pick up Age of the Primes Aerialbots keeping them staged as individual robots just like my plans for the Constructicons...'nuff said!

Same mold and you are in luck as I just transformed him last week, When going from bot to copter mode, the leg that becomes the back end of the copter need to have its hip rotated 180 degrees so it is upside-down before tabbing it into the chest/top of the copter for everything to line up correctly.
