But Mags, you should totally get your hands on the legends. They are great.

I love RTS Starscream, they way they integrate his null rays is pretty cool. And also he is more G1 than the recent generations mold which is based on the IDW look (Sabr or Jelze correct me if I am wrong)

As much as I want a Blackjack repaint for OP there is no way I'm paying for a Legends Rodimus :BANG_HEAD:

I really hope there will be a good Blackjack repaint released some time in the future (I'd even settle for Bumble Bee!). Hot Rod/Rodimus should be a Voyager.

Yeah, me too. The last decent Rodimus released stateside, in my opinion, was Animated Rodimus. And he was even made exclusive.

Anyone remember the rumors of Generations Legends Gnaw with Gnash and Brawn with Mudslinger? Bidoofdude of Ozformers reportedly wrote to Hasbro asking if these figures were still to be released or were canceled .

Bidoofdude wrote:"I've noticed that the Generations Legends Class figures for this year skip numbers #11 through #17. Is there a reason for this? Is it related to the listed Legends Brawn with Mudslinger and Gnaw with Gnash that seemingly didn't happen?

Could we be seeing Brawn (and less importantly, Gnaw) as a Legends figure in the Combiner Wars toyline in the coming year, as he is the only 1984 minibot without a figure yet?"

To which Hasbro responded with:

"There are plans for the distribution of these characters in 2015, unfortunately I do not have an exact date of arrival.

Hasbro Consumer Affairs"

take it with a grain of salt.

Haha! Funny thing about Deluxe Insecticons, they might one day update them as generations figures but they can never rerelease the originals since they are now owned by Bandai. So like with G1 Jetfire, the prices of those g1 toys will just keep climbing.

Sun Jan 25, 2015 7:30 pm

i want the deluxe insecticons to be the same size as skrapnel. it's the perfect size for insecticons.

Yep. They're small and cheap enough to build an entire swarm!

Aaaaand continuing my ongoing quest to shoehorn CHUG stuff into Masterpiece, CW Rodimus is probably going to be repurposed as Return of Convoy/Micromaster Hot Rod. The old Legends version was a bit more Micromaster-esque, but was way too unposable, to the point where I couldn't shoehorn it. And I put Animated Lockdown in my MP display, so that's saying something.

Previously Rumored Generations Legends Sharkticon Gnaw and Brawn To Debut In Combiner Wars?

Ozformers member Bidoofdude put 2 and 2 together concerning two previously-rumored Generations Legends, and got a promising response from Hasbro! The known Combiner Wars Legends-class figures skip numbers 11-17, and so an email was sent to Hasbro asking if the previous Walmart leaks Gnaw with Gnash and Brawn with Mudslinger might be among their numbers. The answer is less than concrete, but more than maybe - keep reading to see!
Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your email.

There are plans for the distribution of these characters in 2015, unfortunately I do not have an exact date of arrival.

Hasbro Consumer Affairs

NICE but darn I just got CLOUD brawn. XD However Swarms of Sharkticons are great "IF" THis pans out!

Sweet.

If this is true, that wraps up all of the Legends figures to be expected for 2015. That slide from the Combiner Wars presentation a few pages back mentioned 4 revealed + 7 TBA figures for a total of 11. We know 8 of those now: Windcharger, Powerglide, Thundercracker, Bombshell, Huffer, Blackjack, Rodimus, and Skywarp. We're left with 3, one of which could be the rumored Warpath, leaving 2, which will hopefully be Brawn and Gnaw. That's another size class we have almost completely figured out. All that's left is to discover the two other voyager releases for 2015 (FYI, the total should be 6: Optimus Prime, Silverbolt, Motormaster, Hotspot, and 2 more). Have we ever figured out THIS much of a year's line up so early in the year before?

Try Dollar general or Family Dollar

What dollar store do you go to? All the ones in my area still sell the old, outdated, Reveal the Shield Legends dudes.

That's true I saw them for the first time in my local store not too long ago, and in abundance on the shelf.

Probably Excluding (or at least HOPE to exclude) White CW Ultra Prime, the last 2 voyagers are probably Onslaught retooled and recolored from Hotspot, and some Decepticon from Silverbolt.

Get the megatron then if he is there, he has become very pricey on e-bay for waht he is.

damnit ive been avoiding that class like the plague but now im going to have to bite the bullet & get rodimus.

Think, CW Hotspot and Groove look great in that pic.

With the addition of CW Groove. Think this means a CW Computron is a step closer to getting a toy. Guessing CW Computron will be a compilation of previous CW molds.

Also can see HasTak use the CW Hotspot and Alpha Bravo toys, as retooled toys for CW Bruticus.
