Super late but recently got a bunch of figures and finally took pictures

Here's Skullgrin and Needlenose in my little Mayhem Attack Squad.

Skullgrin is fun but the soft plastic is scary. Needlenose is fun though. Time will tell if that Bludgeon is replaced by the Tarn remold! Side note: Skytread/Flywheels is still one of my favorite figures

Got Armada Starscream in as well. Not perfect, but pretty fun and a nice design

Loki and Agent Mobius?

Inferno is a mixed bag. Ant mode is so cool, and so much of the robot mode is so cool. But those damn legs are annoying

Anyways, it's nice to add a larger predacon to the mix. Grimlock is armed to the teeth and eager to take him down

Finishing off with a Leo Prime appreciation post. Fingers crossed Nemesis Leo has the accurate Copy Convoy colors

Thanks for sharing those pics Razorbeast88. It made me realize the head sculpts on Needlenose. If I had a chance to get my hands on Collector's Club version I would, but the head sculpt on Legacy Needlenose is far better...'nuff said! ;)^

Glad the pictures helped in same way! Hope you're able to get the needlenose you want

It's not the best, but it's better than it's default "Titan Return cassette" mode.

I wish someone makes an upgrade kit so that he can have a proper vehicle mode without having to rely on mistransformations shenanigans.

G2 just got G2ier...that's not G2 Jazz...but it looks so horrible it could have been

: sentinel jazz

: G3 Jazz? color change Jazz?

pics out for some of the G2 legacy stuff. Cloud cover is a must for me -daft thing will be having more G2 seekers than being able to get the g1 versions :/ Toxitron looks as expected and I'll probably get blue Grimlock unless I can find a fantoys somewhere.

Putting this news here until we find out what this Legacy subline's name is and if it's decided to give it its own thread or not.

New images for the next Walmart-exclusive subline to come after the Velocitron line have surfaced, courtesy of Jtprime17, and it has a Generation 2 theme with a "toxic" packaging design.

Four figures are revealed here:

Deluxe class G2 Universe Autobot Jazz
Voyager class G2 Universe Cloudcover
Leader class G2 Universe Toxitron
Leader class G2 Universe Grimlock

They're cool. Very cool. Right now, the only one I'm a definite in on is Cloud Over...but we'll see. That shoulder gun for Jazz looks very...G1 Hound-like, no?

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Tue Mar 14, 2023 4:57 pm

The best one is the conehead. Magnificent.

Jazz is pain and Toxitron is pretty meh. I'll stick with my Scourge.

I wonder how Grimmy will look?

Other than the price Hasbro charges these days, I think I'm wanting them all.

*sweet relief*..glad can skip all of these. Nothing in my range of interest. Another article alleges these will be available for pre-order beginning Tuesday. Prepare for some major disappointment. Still; its odd, all we have is box art of Grimlock, but no pics of the toy itself. Not sure if he will be the dark blue, or teal version, or something totally incorrect ala Jazz....

Speaking of which.... I know some people like to think G2 and the 1990's was all about crazy colors etc...But they all weren't that way.

I love every single 1 of these. Even Lava Jazz. I will get them just for the utter total ridiculousness. The only thing I don't like is Toxitron's purple tires. They should have been black tires on purple wheels.

Wouldn't Grimlock be the colours on the box?

Right, it seems like he'll have the unproduced "Tiger" colors. The inaccurate Jazz deco is probably due to it being too close to the G1 deco. I wonder what the colorscheme they chose is a reference to, if anything. Plus, his new guns are definitely Hound's guns.

Yep. Tiger Grimlock.

Jazz's deco is based on this:

My eyes!!!!!

So random repaints?

I'll probably break down and get Jazz just for the eye searing color scheme.

Don't need yet another Ramjet, had it been Thrust I would have probably been all over it.

Though I know what its based on:
