Pretty sure his are more green, those look exactly like the ones from Tricranius, even the same number of them.

Top image is from Transformerland and seems to have been taken on a light table, but you get the idea.
Those red ones may be prototypes or perhaps for something upcoming? I'm not seeing a match for them among the figures that use that style on the guide on TFWiki.

(Edit: Derp, spent too long looking for photos and trying to figure out where the red ones came from...)

I think the Hot Shot pack's are too orange, but that could just be lighting.

Seriously, look at the toy images and compare them to the drawings. Windblade looks like she went on a steroid binge somewhere between concept and execution.

Throw in those blast effects and she's Roid-Rage Windbrick.

You might be right. Stock photos were very orange while some in hand shots were almost red so that might be it.

I have Victory Saber and his are a darker, clearer and greener. Also have Powerlinx Hot Shot and those red ones are his, under light they do have a slight orange tint.

In this case, 'beauty' must truly be in the eye of the beholder, because I'm not really seeing it. Easy pass...

Instead of blast-effect accessories, it should come with word balloons with cheesy pet names for Blackarachnia.

Link for Transformers LEGACY United INFERNAC UNIVERSE Deluxe Class MAGNEOUS Review.

So...this was the only item from the first wave I pre-ordered. While it dosen't make as big an impression as some of the "weaponizers", I'm still excited about the deep cuts in lore we are getting. I know many have mentioned the obvious Rock Lords homage, but the term "Infernac" is a reference to The Inhumanoids (The stronghold ot Metlar, Leader of the Inhumanoids, bear the earth Core)... it may just be a name slap to preserve trademark rights, but who knows? There were heroic rock warriors (Granites) in the Inhumanoids series, there may be a connection here? That would be kind of awesome.

When these Armorizers were first unveiled, the first thing the Hasbro guys cited as inspiration for these toys (before also mentioning the Inhumanoids and the Rock Lords) was the rock creatures from Episode 32 of The Headmasters, "My Friend Sixshot!"

Haslab sixshot 2024? 8-)

News Credits: 56 · by **o.supreme** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:41 pm

Sabre...that's awesome. Love deep cuts like that. As for the Haslab in 2024...my guess is Primus.

There is absolutely no reason they can't do a Sixshot at retail.

I'd like a commander class sixshot at some point
That way it has the bells and whistles and the complexity to pull off the different modes with some pizzazz

From your lips to God's ears, that would probably be the PERFECT Sixshot.

I agree. 6shot as a headmaster makes no sense and the commander price point will give him the size and the SOLID feel of the G1 original.

Couple of catchup notes for the thread:

I found the Legacy Walmart beasts at a Ross

I also realized, while taking this Wrookie photo, that we desperately need more Late Euro G1/G1.5/G2 figures in Legacy. I need some Predators and Nick Roche Wreckers!

We also need the other half of the Gobots, as well as a Rampage and Transmetal Cheetor so we can get Cataclysm and Shockaract.

A review is up for Transformers Legacy United deluxe Infernac Universe Magneous. This is the first gimmick figure released in the Legacy United line, following the trend of having such gimmicks in the generations line every year. This Rock Lord type transformer can transform without partsforming and can split apart to be attached to other figures. This review from PrimevsPrine shows us its features and articulation along with size comparisons.

Worst case scenario, there's that G2 one that Walmarts are currently selling.

Because the Google does nothing, any nerd here who know what are those faction symbols for Miner Megs?

Thanks.

The search engine in TF Wiki suck. Often, I go through Google. I just add "TF wiki" in my search. But it look like I didn't enter the right terms.

Thanks for the link!
