I was finally able to get the Wave 2 Legion Class figures, they're good but I feel these should've been Wave 1 releases. Megatron is the best which seems to be a common theme for the line. Here's my review if you want to look:

Nice! I agree these should have hit earlier. I just got the 3 in on BBTS, and they should be shipping out soon with my Figuarts R2-D2. I've been looking forward to finding Crosshairs to stand next to my voyager Scorn since they were buddies in Age of Extinction.

I just found voyager Megatron and hound at walmart. Hound looks awesome but I could only get one tonight and I've been looking for megatron for months. Megatron is simply thick, solid, and tight. Great transformation and no loose joints (these joints are the new standard, thats how tight and solid megs is). Seriously this is one of the few I've bought since I got back in that didnt have some sort of issue (only others beeing from rid).

I actually found wave 2 deluxes today (finally!). Im not interested in any of them since I heard Drift wasn't very good and I honestly couldn't stand Sqweeks in the movie. Bring on wave 3, I'm ready.

Any Canada bros found the TrU exclusive Primus/Cybertron yet?
Because I'm morbidly curious to know what will be the Canadian price.

Megs is awesome.

Wave 2 voyagers FINALLY started arriving in stores in my area last week (Still no wave 2 deluxes though). Had to check a couple different stores and found the last voyager Megatron at Target. Really love this figure, his transformation is actually fun to do and he looks great in both modes.

Saw the new Hound at several places but I didn't pick him up. Can someone explain why people seem to love this figure? His head looks weirdly proportioned compared to his body, the vehicle mode looks cheap and bland, and the accessories are terrible, they don't look like any of the weapons he used in the movies. Think I'll stick with my Autobots United version of his AOE voyager, at least that has his minigun and proper shotguns.

From my own experience with TLK Hound, he looks so much better once he's out of the box and actually posing a bit. It's true the colors and vehicle deco aren't fantastic (I'd have much preferred a more vibrant green like the AoE one), and that his head is noticeably larger than I'd like in terms of scale with other 'bots (though I think it looks fine in proportion to the rest of his body) but like so many things about him, the issue becomes much less noticeable once he's doing something other than sitting in a window-box on a store shelf under fluorescent lighting. And honestly if you can pick out enough detail on Hound's weapons to tell them apart that clearly and with that level of passion, I'd say you're probably in the minority - personally as long as he's got some huge ol' guns to lug around I'm happy enough, and if you have the AoE one you can obviously give those weapons to the newer incarnation.

I think most of what it comes down to is that he's a really clever Transformer from an engineering perspective - it's maybe not quite Voyager Megs' level, but it's still a genius transformation IMO - and the robot mode in particular is objectively way more accurate to his on-screen appearance in both TLK and AoE. You do you, and if you prefer the previous mold, awesome! It just means you have one less thing to buy. But there are plenty of things that this new Hound does really well to entice people (myself included obviously) into buying and loving him.

I actually had the same disappointment with the guns since I like the ones he comes with displaying on his back, so I just have him the ones from AoE. They look great on him. I had a few of the same thoughts before I picked him up (mostly got him because I'd missed the Megatrons that had been on the shelf) but he was a huge amount of fun after I busted him out of the box.

These guys are awesome!!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian, Autobot Roadburn we are now aware that the exclusive Transformers: Autobots Unite Legion Class Autobot Hot Rod figure is available at Walmart.com. This figure will cost 9.99 and exclusive to Walmart. You can still pick this figure up in stores, however ordering is a great way to ensure you get it.

[Quantum Surge]

No friggin way I'll pay ten bucks for that! No way! Nooo way!

Ha! That was great. I always try to quote and incorporate that Crosshairs line into my daily life.

Also, wake me up when the Deluxe Hot Rod has made its way online...

[Archforce]

So, Monsieur Hot Rod isn't discounted to $1.50 with the rest of the Legion figures at Walmart?

I wish. I checked my nearby Walmart this morning to be sure they didn't have him first and they don't even carry legions at all. I'm not super happy about paying the $10 either, but it's for one figure that I likely will never see at my store.

I love his design and the Legends/Legion size class, but I don't think I've ever seen Legion at my local Walmart, let alone their TLK exclusives. I just don't think I can justify paying half the price of a movie deluxe when his contemporaries are available for around a tenth of the price.

[Rodimus277]

My local ASDA store had him for £6.97.

Are you a time traveller visiting the future? Because it's been years since legions have been discounted at that price. Lowest I saw a RID legion was 5.50$US and the movie ones at 7$US.

The prices have gone quite up, especially for the movie figures.
Damn those TrU exclusive deluxes at over 30$US in Canada... And somehow, they still all sold at my local TrU! Granted, they were back at the "regular" price because of the sale but still...

Speaking of super clearance, I'm just waiting for TrU to be tired of all of these voyager Grimlocks.

[Marcdachamp]

Cool, but I'm still waiting on the two-pack with Bumblebee since he has the G1 Hot Rod flames on the hood.

Will probably come out cheaper too. Is it the same BB that also comes in the Megatron two pack at TRU?

[DestronMirage22]

$9.99 for a Legion Class figure?! No way!
I could get a Legends Class for that!!

[Quantum Surge]

I got a $10 off coupon from Hasbro when I told them that my Berserker was missing one of his spiked accessories. Sucks they can't get me a replacement, but I'm glad that I got a coupon that can help with getting anything I need at a decent price. All that's left now is to decide what I can use it for. (new mold Bee? Cogman? Barricade? Hot Rod? Wave 2 & 3 Voyagers? Masterpiece Prime or Bee? Power of the Primes anything?)

Saw this a few days ago.

Also, that Hot Rod is missing a wheel in his stock image

Also, here is my Infernocus with Quintessa where he will actually stand fairly stable:

Cogman's head is gonna look so out of place because of how well it's painted and how different the Movie bots and TR bots look
