Just a reminder that in modern times, class =/= size. Deathsaurus should be a commander simply for the complexity and engineering required. Especially if they want to faithfully recreate the Breastforce gimmick and include all the weapons.

As for Ginrai, they could make separate releases for both of them, but a boxset would be much more logical and fit the titan price-point neatly. Plus there would be no distribution issues and a lone Godbomber will be a hard sell for the general public.

These are good points, especially for Deathsarus (I much preferred the Dezaras name the victory subs used from Metronome entertainment), an updated toy would need to keep a the old gimmicks to match Victory Saber (and include his bfg that he almost beat Star Saber with)

I'm in agreement with future combiners though

I'm only saying that God Ginrai should be Victory Saber sized because Victory Saber's about Siege Jetfire sized and I don't think God Ginrai as a combined form should be shorter than Jetfire. Super Ginrai being a bit bigger than Grimlock sized if they make Ginrai by himself about Hoist-Siege Prime sized.

If you make God Ginrai Star Saber sized, Super Ginrai would end up being closer to voyager height, and Ginrai closer to deluxe height which wouldn't really work with future powermasters/godmasters scale wise

For Optimus it didn't used to be. It used to be his actual shoulders.

And that is the very reason I am most likely skipping Laser Prime(along with the skinny legs, if he had Bulkheads legs it would look great), although I love the original. It looks bad, its lazy and restricts posing. Unless Blitzwing completely amazes me, I will skip him too because of it.

I don't really see why Deathsaurus would need to be Commander class, he doesn't need to be that complex. Hasbro said Star Saber was Leader size so a large leader like Grimlock should be enough plus his partners can be sold as Core figures like SS Ravage.

That's the keyword here. "size".
We all know that nowadays, it means nothing.

Yeah classes are now price points and that's all there is to it

I wonder if it will occur to Hasbro that Pointblank could be done as a reshell of Punch/Counterpunch, mainly using the Counterpunch transformation engineering.

Well that combined with the Buzzworthy Bluestreak sighting, I'm definitely checking out Target. Just to look at the legacy figures in hand.

I submitted it as news yesterday and was met with radio silence, glad to see the information is being spread nonetheless.

I submitted it as news yesterday and was met with radio silence, glad to see the information is being spread nonetheless.

I apologise for the radio silence but we're still incredibly short handed at present. I can only speak for myself but my personal life is incredibly busy at this moment in time, hence my time on here is fleeting, and I think it's the same for Will and D-Max.

If anyone reading this would like to lend a hand, don't hesitate to get in contact.

As much as I want a Titans Return Kickback for head-canon scale(?) the Legacy Deluxe looks too nice to pass up. Prime Arcee also looks great (here's hoping they do Knock Out and...dare I say Silas Breakdown? ).

Knock Out is coming, though according to rumor he'll be a repaint/remold of SS86 Jazz. You can look at his recent appearance in the Wreckers comic for a rough idea of what he should look like. No rumors of Breakdown outside the Stunticon (and we've learned that the rumor that he'd be the Prime character was shot down by leakers)

Not to mention Hasbro recently reissued the original Prime Breakdown mold that they didn't release back in the original Hasbro line, and which can still be found and purchased online at various places.

We have news that Transformers Legacy deluxe wave 1 has been found at US retail. It consists of Kickback, TF Prime Arcee, Dragstrip and Skids. TF fans mute and Yertle found this wave at Targets in Virginia and North Carolina.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here.

Lol yeah, MP 36 is also leader sized.
But hey, I am all for a leader sized Deathsaurus sold as a leader class figure.
We are getting Dragon Megatron, maaaaybe they could use that as Deathsaurus (even though that would mean his limbs would be innacurate).

Who knows, maybe they'll go the extra mile for the psychotic mutant chicken.

I fully expect a Leader sized Deathsaurus, I just would prefer it also be leader priced, with the breast beasts being core class figures. If he's commander class, then I'll still get him, but I'd want him to have alternate beast mode heads (G1 amd IDW) and very well done core class breast beasts with all three modes looking good

None sighted near my realm as of yet. But, it's nice to know Dragstrip at least is among the general release. Hasbro Pulse lists them as an 'exclusive', but they were sold out within an hour of being announced, and have remained that way ever since. Finding them on store shelves is pretty much our only option...

Drag Strip is the one anyone should prioritize BY FAR. Since the rest of the limbs are being sold throughout the year, he is sure to become a hot commodity to complete Motormaster.
I'll personally be getting Kickback and Drag Strip from this wave. I'll experience the other molds through different releases.

Assuming Menasor is worth completing.

Anything is an improvement over CW Menasor. Especially since the quality of individual figures has gone up drastically since then.
