Before anyone asks, the blacken-out part is covering the packaging's cutaway and peg hook, rather than anything important.

Woah, not only is Cogman good with a sword; his MS Paint skills are fantastic!

[Bronzewolf]

Burn, listen to your favorite staff member from the north american continent.

Hey now, hey now. Toot your own servos much?

I also got stress marks on Barry, however I've taken the shield off and put it back on again many times, and they don't seem to be growing at all. He's an extremely solid figure, with my only drawback being his chest doesn't clip in, although the could be a user error. Like mentioned, a very generations-y design in a Movie box.

Long been thinking about doing a full pictorial for this guy. Maybe I should.

Fellow board user MaverickPrime has kindly let us know that yet another batch of reviews of new figures have come from youtuber Chefatron; this time of legion-class Megatron, Crosshairs and Drift from The Last Knight! Check out the videos below and tell us what you think of the cute little guys in the energon pub!

[Carnivius_Prime]

Damn, even the Legion Megs is great. Real nice sculpt and looks like a nice tidy solid transformation into a good jet mode too. May have to pick this one up for my desk in addition to already planning to get the Voyager.

[Bumblebee21]

he reviewed the other ones too
drift and crosshairs

Article edited to include reviews of Legion Crosshairs and Drift

[Carnivius_Prime]

All three look decent. Far better than the cheapass redeco-fest Wave 1.

[Carnivius_Prime]

just saw this on the TFWiki page for Optimus Prime toys. Do that and you get two toys instead of one! I recall one of the leader ones from AoE being able to do the same thing if you took the kibble off.


Apologies if it's been posted elsewhere on this forum.

[MaverickPrime]

So given that he's in town and probably the only one worth getting ... is Barricade good and I should ignore the opinion of certain reviewers? Or is he dodgy as an Italian News Admin?

You should buy him. He is a good figure that looks awesome, poses pretty good, has some awesome features and accessories, and overall has a solid and dense feel that makes him very sturdy and fun to play with

While a little on the small side, I do think the mold is nice, HOWEVER, it is way too expensive for what it is, specially when they have the nerve to call this Premier just to elevate the prices.
But even then, more than waiting for a price drop, I'd wait for the inevitable more movie accurate premium deco that we know will happen. Specially on Optimus, I'll wait for the Armor Knight-esque gorgeous deco.

Some of you may be wondering how to properly turn TLK Barricades shield into a riot where it actually tabs in. Click this link to watch a very short tutorial on how to do it https://youtu.be/Xmx5DF_ERoQ

1. I like the look of Voyager Megs better.

I might add barricade back to my collection if he goes on sale or is part of a cool boxset. I am open to any boxset if it means getting better decos of the mainline toys for the same price.

[Deadput]

I've only bought Barricade and only so I can fit him into my mix of G1 and movie cons in my head canon Chug universe.

I don't mind Cade being short since he serves as a scout in my army but if this was a pure movie collection I would be more disappointed.

I only plan to buy Slash when he goes on sale since I never got the AOE one and I like the colors a lot, Scorn because the new toy looks great and I never got the previous Scorn, Crosshairs since I love the character, Squeeks since it looks like a legitimately fun toy, Voyager Megatron because he looks BA, the Bomber Megatron since I never got the old one and the remold looks good to me and Nitro since I like the KSI body type design.

Voyager Optimus, Drift, Hound, New Bee, Infernocus and Berserker are on my maybe list but only if their on sale for a good price, Cogman I'll only get the one step if there is no other figure, I'll get Hot Rod, Onslaught, Hooligan, Mohawk and the red Mclaren if they get good main line toys that look good.

Edit: Oh I'll buy Steelbane and Skullitron as well perhaps.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Adding to the pile:

Already bought: Barricade, Berserker, Prime, TTC's (Prime, Stealth bee, Stealth Grimlock, Hound, Crosshairs, Sideswipe, Blackout)

Will definitely buy: Hound, Scorn, deluxe Megs, voyager Megs, Leader Megs, Sqweeks, Deluxe Bee, MP Bee, Infernicus, Legions (Megs, Drift, Crosshairs), TTC's (almost all the rest), 1-step Megs, Knight armor Megs

[-Kanrabat-]

As for me, I got Voyager Optimus, deluxe Barricade, and 1step hound.

I don't plan to buy any legions because they are WAY overpriced for what they are.
My most wanted are deluxe Skweek, and both voyagers Megatron and Hound. Oh yeah, also that legion dragon combiner set.

After that, I'll go with the flow.
