Or just bring back Basic/Scout class.

Only thing is I don't want the figures to necessarily be smaller than Deluxe unless it suits the character. I feel like sometimes they work themselves into a corner trying to fit figures into Deluxe class. Are they really going to make a convincingly complex Deluxe rock? We'll see.

I know "better engineering" is the reason often sighted, which I can understandtoa degree, but with this....It just really stretches that logic, especially when I see a $25 USD price tag of something that shouldn't cost more than $15. I know it would probably be a nightmare for plan o grams, but the original TFs had many different price points and scales. Not just 3 or 4 and we just try to shove everything in-between upscale because there is nothing between a $10-12 core and a $25 deluxe currently.

Warrior Class is roughly the same same size as Deluxe, the figures are made with less plastic and have a gimmick.

In one of the designer Instagram posts, it was admitted that Legacy Bulkhead's altmode was instead inspired by AOE Hound, and that the Amazon Wreckers redeco was made to give the figure an even bigger resemblance to Hound. So they just straight up admitted that they chose not to base the new Bulkhead figure directly on either existing Bulkhead.

Why not fully commit to it and give that version a "G1nified" AoE Hound head?

I kinda did with the Genera Optimus Prime reprolabels set and the extra weapons of Red Cog, but that's not perfect.

Optimus looks pretty good. Hopefully they don't tinker with Motormaster much, besides the head.

Primes torso looks a bit off, I think because that black section under the windshield was part of the arms with the old voyager figure

He goes straight from chest to waist lol no abdomen there

That's what I'm saying, not everything needs to be complex at the Deluxe "size", simple is fine to, but lower the price accordingly. But forgo the action features.

Speak for yourself, I need more action in my life.

Fans have been getting Legacy leader class Nova Prime for the past couple of weeks and for those who still don't have it yet and want as much info as possible, we have some reviews from the community to share. Below you will find a video review and a pictorial review from our community members.

First, that's big, sturdy box! The insides of the packaging must be quite premium.



...Or not.



I noticed that the whole thing was put face-down.





The super bot looks awesome, except for the hollow firetruck things. I'll be looking forward an upgrade kit.



The mini Prime is nice. Like a clone of Magnus.



The transformation was full of TRAPS. The worst one being the legs-armor's "panels". Those are screwed in place and are not meant to be moved. As for the rest, it's so different than Siege/Kingdom Magnus that I had to look up the instructions to know what to do. That's rare.
The final truck is pretty damn nice.



I'll be looking forward some upgrade kit and the Reprolabels.

We thanks Razorbeast88 for sharing with us a review from Chefatron. This is a review of the newly revealed Transformers Legacy United deluxe Animated Bumblebee. Here we can see comparisons to the original, along with all the accessories and how the figure can handle them. You'll let us know what you think!

technically the changes are from galaxy upgrade optimus which nova is closer to than the magnus figures

The only molding changes are the new super head, super chest, and the wings.
That's still a lot.

I skipped on G.U Optimus because I already have the Galaxy Force original and saw no point with a DOWNGRADE.
But that Nova Prime make it worth it to own the mold. I'm sure with some filler parts and especially the Reprolabels, he will be ultimate.

New shoulders too

There is lots of remolding in the abdomen as well. Pretty cool because the fact that both the abdomen and super chest are remolded makes the main nova prime mode look completely different from the waist up.

Yup. Those too.

So overall, for those who already have G.U Optimus, getting Nova barely count as "double-dipping."

What's different about the abdomen from Galaxy Upgrade Optimus? Looking at pics of the two, I'm not seeing anything different but the colors.

It's minor, but the headlights have been retooled as well, probably owing to the windshield being replaced with an opaque piece. The rest of the detailing was already present on Galaxy Prime, but drowned out by the white paint.

OOf, age gets to all of us, man

I just got an email from Hasbro Pulse saying that Nacelle is “no longer available” and that my order has been cancelled! I preordered immediately months ago, and was charged for the pre-order just last week.

Same thing happened to me. They must be writing off the whole shipment due to the mystery substance. Amazon still has it, I'm taking my chances there. I guess Nacelle isn't too toxic for them.

Meh, it's in stock at Amazon.

We have some disappointing news for those who ordered their Transformers Legacy Nacelle from Hasbro Pulse: they are cancelling those orders.

For those who ordered this figure from Pulse, Pulse began charging customers last week for Nacelle, which usually leads to a shipping email within a couple of days. However, overnight Pulse began sending out cancellation emails for Nacelle, including a later notice of refund for the order. One of those emails, from Seibertron user Mindmaster, is included below.

While we have no way of knowing for sure or confirming what the reason would be for these cancellations, there were reports emerging when Nacelle was originally shipping from Amazon of white puffy substances found on multiple figures, which has been suspected to be everything from materials to help the plastic leave its factory mold to actual mold itself, with no concrete answer or confirmation as to what the substance really is. Again, we do not know if that is the reason Pulse is cancelling orders, but it is worth noting here.

Let us know if you were one of the unlucky members to have your Pulse Nacelle cancelled. And if you were, Amazon still has him in stock should you still desire one.

I got the cancel notice overnight. Just bought one on Amazon instead. Bring on the mold!

Couldn't it just be a case of more people having placed orders with Hasbro Pulse than the amount they had in stock? It is, after all, and Amazon exclusive first and foremost, and Hasbro Pulse has typically had less stock of exclusives belonging to another retailer.
