Cogman will be mine... you know because he's a titan master and presumably can interact with Titans return figures which makes Cogman an extension of the line kinda.

Found a picture that kind of shows the Titan master parts.


At least he does a better job at making his head round compared to say TR Hot Rod.

that new Primus had me thinking of the SG version at first. its not an exact match after looking over the TFCC comics again, but it might be a good repurpose option for SG fans

I thought this exact same thing and it is part of the reason I want him

Nitro & hot rod look pretty good but i refuse to pay $20 for a deluxe & $30 for a voyager. hopefully those legion prices are correct because if they go back to normal price ill grab some, if not then i guess the only last knight products ill own are the turbo tiny changers since they seem to be the only things that arent priced ridiculously.

Your lucky here in Canada we have to pay $30 for a deluxe and $40 for a voyager and I have no idea how much a leader is going to be.

That's just Canadian prices but still.

Cogman is clearly AoE crosshairs remolded.

At least the toy looks good. (What's wrong with remolds in the first place when they look good?)

The problem was that his shoulders are impossible to pose right, but cogman might have improved ones.

The roadbuster/lockdown mold is terrible

Agreed.

I disagree. Never had Lockdown myself but liked the Deluxe figure my friend had and i still plan to get an oversized KO and I had Roadbuster and really liked him. Need to get another sometime. It has some minor issues but then almost every TF does.

I agree, Roadbuster was fine, I dont have issues with him. I dont like how Lockdown was. Also, they arent the same mold at all, they just transform similarly. They have less in common than CW Sky Dive and Offroad.

[breacher]

YEAH! Now this is what I'm talking about Hasbro, these all looks great! Cogman looks... amazing, and the titanmaster is the icing of the cake. Hot Rod, while I dislike the mold, looks like it has great paint, and they did improve on the mold. Nitro looks great in robot mode, and the jet mode is decent (a little plain for me, but it still looks nice).

Anyone know whether Nitro is an exclusive or not? I hope he isn't. Let's hope the paint on these looks as good on the actual product and not just the renders, if it does, this line has won back my heart.

He's not an exclusive

Nitro looks pretty sweet actually; I agree with a previous poster that it looks like a kind of mech humans would make to combat Transformers. He's a Voyager but I wouldn't terribly mind army-building if he went on sale...

And when I say 'army build' I mean three of him at most. Autumn's come early for the old money tree.

[Cobotron]

Does anyone else feel like Cogman's robot mode looks a little familiar?

This is all I can see when i look at the torso

I WAS GOING TO REPLY THE EXACT SAME THING!!!!!!

It;s the round thing in his belly. Among other details.

Your sort of right here is Nitro in the movie


He is just using the KSI Boss drone body from AOE with Shockwave's head and a defined alt form.



Which in itself was a design John Nizzi reused from a character design tutorial he made back in 2009

[Optimum Supreme]

DRAGONICUS? really? sounds like a name a 4 year old came up with.

Some of these actually look pretty cool, should have put those out before the fairly lame stuff that came out first. Other stuff looks pretty meh... Hot Rod, unless they plan to redo it in g1 colors (like Jazz in 2007)

Oh, mercy, a toy of Dark Primus in his true colors would be amazing!

[Deadput]

If I plan on getting Hot Rod I would like to ask how "bad" the Lockdown mold was in your guy's opinion so I can have an idea if I should get it or not since I have not bought a movie figure since the first half of DOTM.

I heard it was similar to DOTM Roadbuster which I have and don't find awful.

[Tyrannacon]

It'll be nice to try to get Cybertron Primus as I didn't get it the first time it was released. Be nice to put him with my Platinum Unicron. Also the Deluxe retool of Thrilling 30 Megatron isn't completely terrible. I'll probably jump on that as well.

Why not just buy Cybertron Primus instead on e-bay? This guy here is $150, you can get Primus for cheaper http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasbro-Transfor ... SwcgNZL5Oa

I may actually get Cybertron Primus, price and condition depending, I'm just entirely dependent on the notion of whatever has better availability at this point in the end.

Courtesy of online retailer Robot Kingdom, we now know that a Deluxe and a Tiny Turbo Changer are not all the new TLK character Hot Rod is getting; as they have put up a listing for a Walmart-exclusive Legion toy of Bumblebee's brother in arms. He is sold out at the time of writing and we have yet to see in-hand images, but nevertheless take a look at the images below and tell us what you think in the forums!

[DedicatedGhostArt]

I FEEL SHOOK!!!!!! TRIGGERED!!!!!

BUT IN A GOOD WAY!

Man these look SO FRIGGIN COOL! Nitro is like the BEST. That jet mode is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.



Looks like the cockpit opens as well. Titanmaster integration?

[Deadput]

Man that Rod is Hot!

[Overcracker]

So ir legion hot rod a retool of somebody else? Or a completely new mold? Can't rally tell, but he looks familiar somehow.



Kind of digging the Primus repaint, but I already Cyb Primus so don't really need another planet.

[SureShot18]

So. Much. Stuff.

Hot Rod looks super slick but I'm disappointed in hearing he's a Lockdown remold. I'm not fond of the ones with a similar transformation scheme. I'll probably still get him. Cogman looks great, I'll probably get him too. Nitro looks awesome and that jet mode is fantastic.

Dragonstorm is interesting. I'd have preferred one giant imposing dragon knight. Nothing's jumping out at me for him. Might have to pass. All of the repaints look pretty neat, especially Cybertron but he's not $150 neat. How much did Primus retail for? It would be interesting to see how much the price has inflated.

I heard that he might be a retool of Dark of the Moon Legion Roadbuster, or at least share the transformation with him

I was just gonna ask if he's a headmaster. Headmaster. Not titanmaster. Headmaster.

Also Nitro has an opening cockpit, so that makes me wonder if he has integration with Cogman's headmaster. Could Nitro's head pop off or flip in to attach Cogman like Animated Headmaster?

While I do doubt that Nitro is a headmaster and that his cockpit opens, I will say it would be cool.

Think about it for a second. Cogman is supposed to be the headmaster that rips other bots heads off and takes over their body. What if he could rip off say Nitro's head and take over it? That would be really cool, and potentially movie accurate

[Albatross250]

I Doubt that Decepticon Nitro will be either a retool for Power of the Primes Thunderwing or shockwave
I mean... just look how awesome he is!
MAN I NEVER SEEN PRIMUS DECADES AGO, I WANT HIM

That's what I said. Also if you look at Nitro's jet, there is a hinge next to the cockpit meaning it most likely opens.



Also Nitro isn't a headmaster. Cogman probably is though, and that's why I wonder if there's a way to flip Nitro's head into the body and connect Cogman's head. Again, a la Animated Headmaster and Bulkhead. Plus the head might be able to go in the cockpit.
