With all the 2014-2015 Legends shown so far, Hasbro and Takara could Recreate the Gobot Expidition Teamn from Takara/E-Hobby from 10 years ago.

Hey yeah, we already have:

Bumblebee for Bug Bite
Powerglide for Bad Boy
Gears for Small Foot
Huffer (or Optimus Prime) for Road Ranger
Cosmos for Pathfinder

We just need a new Warpath for Treds, and we're all set.

If we are to believe the leaks from a while back, Warpath is coming too! If Hasbro and Takara don't jump on this one, maybe the TFCC will?

YEp! I Had Cheetimus Repaint 2 Cosmos' into 80's Pathinder, and Takara Patnfinder,
and two Swerves' (because Gears wasn't out at the time)into Both 80's and Takara Small foot.

I think I'll have him slightly edit Optimus and Nemesis into the two versions of Roage Ranger,
same with Warpath, and Powerglide.


I'm thinking about getting an extra StarScream to turn into Leader-one, and Depending on on how Groove Looks (or his eventual Decepticon Recolor) That could be made out to be Cy-Kill.

was considering turning Windcharger into Turbo, but Might do that with Rodimus/Black Jack depending on how the mold looks. I'm already going to get Cheetimus to turn Windcharger into the Micromaster Female "Clipper". ANd Huffer could be turned into "Stacks"!

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Why not turn Groove into the more obscure Night Ranger?

Oooh.. Well Darn.. Ok might have to buy afew more Grooves then. XD

[steve2275]

yay skywarp

you suck rodimus toy

[Tresob]

I concur with pretty much everybody else.

It's a shame that this mold was squandered on a disappointing version of Hot Rod. It would have been a great opportunity for any of the Throttlebots. (And why they aren't using it for Runamok and Runabout is beyond me...all they had to do was paint Blackjack's windows red...)

[Evil Eye]

On the plus side, it would be truly hilarious to have him form Optimus's chestplate. Revenge for taking his job in the movie and all.

"Heh, now you are merely my chestplate, you imposter!"

[Syn_13]

Some bots suit the Legends size. The Insecticons we've had, plus some of these autobots like Tailgate and Swerve are great portrayed in that size. I just don't like Hot Rod being that small when he should be at least Deluxe sized. The mould looks decent in alt mode, but bot mode just doesn't look like Hot Rod at all. At least some of the Legends figures that aren't minibots, like Prime and the Seekers, look great despite being smaller versions.

[SkyWarpt]

Hooray! Skywarp is here! Now I just need to track down him, Thundercracker and Starscream for non-wallet-rape prices and I'll have my Legends Seekers! (Starscream will be the problem I fear...)

Try Dollar general or Family Dollar

[Evil Eye]

UK, remember. The only place likely to have them is Toys R Us, and there isn't one nearby.

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

[Ultra Markus]

yeah! now we have all three legends class seekers!

This time, Roddy's taking the bullet for Optimus.

Kapow have Legends TC in stock for £6.99 - http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers ... -2545.html

My local TRU had Starscream from when I last checked about 3 weeks ago. I wouldn't have a problem picking him up for you. They're refurbishing the store though so they've cut down the shop size to about a quarter and the stock will probably be cut down too.

i only recently started buying a couple of mini tf's since i got metroplex. rodimus is cool cos i always wanted to recreated the metroplex box art at the back of the movie toys

i haven't got any combiner wars figures yet but am definitely gonna get them soon... I might've stated it elsewhere but I think that hasbro are missing a trick here. They should've come up with a cartoon narrative for these guys as they're one of the few recent tf toy series which i think would cross the divide between kid and adult collector.

I feel that most of the toys i choose to collect such as generations and prime were too complicated for kids. And it seems hasbro agrees with the introduction of the latest lines.. however they might've gone to the other extreme with over simplification. These toys.. though I don't have first hand experience of them seem to strike a very good balance between complexity levels and collector desirability. These guys actually seem like fun to play with!

They are! and you're right they are not overly complicated and do seem like they would appeal to all. They are really no more complicated than any G1 toy, or Beast Wars toy. I don't remember any kids complaining in the 90's that BW were to complicated. You make a really good point.

Just saw this on my FACEBOOK feed about Sharkticon Gnaw and Brawn

http://tformers.com/previously-rumored-generations-legends-sharkticon-gnaw-and-brawn-to-debut-in-combiner-wars/25713/news.html

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.

Regards

Hasbro Consumer Affairs

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

Sweet.

[ZeroWolf]

I've said before that combiner wars would make a good cartoon (or game)

Delta not sure if they are priced the same on the website but the tru near me has the AoE legends starscream for £3.99 (its just the generations legend mold in AoE packing) I saw a bunch of them and prime, strafe and grimlock. Picked up grimlock to go with the other grimlock and Strafe...i love the predacon terrorcon molds

[Evil Eye]

That's the really crappy one with no leg articulation though isn't it? I'm after the Starscream that comes with a Waspinator Targetmaster.

And that Skywarp is a redeco of that exact guy, like Thundercracker is Look at the toy, not the packaging art. It hasn't matched the toy at at least one occasion, chief of which is Huffer: the toy is based on Generations Optimus Prime, while the art is based on the Reveal the Shield one.

Besides, by current standards the RtS Legends are Legion-sized, while the current Legends are slightly bigger.

Well it would make a Great update to Takara's "Scramble City". Have them reanimate the first
episode with Optimus and the Masquarde Autobots helping out Defensor and Superion, and then Generations Metroplex Vs. GENERATIONS TRIPTICON (lol that would be a great crazy reveal!)

[Evil Eye]

I'm confused. Are Skywarp and Thundercracker based on RTS Starscream or Generations Legends Class Starscream? The toy pics would suggest Gen Legends class (and that's what TFWiki says) but...

It's a repaint of generations Legends Starscream, the one that came with waspy as a target master.

Generations Legends. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
