It looks like some of the original Legends of Cybertron figure will be released again. However, this time instead of Cybertron style packaging, they will be released in Classics packaging. TFormers.com has received images of Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime, Hot Shot, and Soundwave in the new packaging. Check the images out here. You can view galleries of all the Legends of Cybertron figure in the Seibertron.com Toy Galleries.

I always figured they should do more with Classics than they did, and I don't mind some of the "new" stuff they do being reissues and repaints......but LOC? Well, this'd be good for those who weren't able to get them the first time around.

I don't see any point in extending the line just for the sake of extending it. And considering a more legitimate wave could consist entirely of repaints (Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust), it's hard to understand why they're including repaints from other lines.

Eh, they gotta fill the shelves with something

well at least i can get prime this time around

You sure you want him? He's easily the worst LoC yet. Terrible articulation and paint apps, plus the vehicle [flatbed] is really lame. I'd be a lot more forgiving if he came with his flightpack.

No, the worst is Vector Prime.

I don't get figures like LOC's Menasaur and Bumblebee either, but this isn't a wave of repaints. This is straight up re-carding figures like Cybertron's LOC Prime and Hot Shot as part of the Classic LOC line. They did this with the KB-Exclusive spychangers (as well as a bunch of Energon scout and deluxe class figures) as a part of Universe, too.

Edit: I'd personally like to see them do Thundercracker, Dirge and thrust, even if only to flesh out the seekers a bit more.

so does this mean a Classic wave 4?

I'd even buy a Sunstorm repaint, honestly. And I'd imagine there are far more people who'd buy Classics seeker-mold repaints than re-carded LoC whatevers.

No, it means a change in packaging for a previous line.

Then head for a toy store. They already made one of those.

these things will never sell

Same here.

I've got to admit I've seen the Menasaur repaint of LOC Prime at Walgreens though, and if they still have it next week when I have some money, I'd buy it.

So there will be Optimus and Menasor as well as Bumblebee and Hot Shot released all at once in Classics packaging... Interesting.

As others have said, I'd rather them just finnish the seeker set.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Repaints of the Classics Seekers would own. Repaints of LoCs, however, fail hard.

Agreed, he and Scourge were just awful. Leo breaker is right up there as well. Maybe I'm biased though, I just don't like the beast moulds.

Vector Prime looked awful, I didn't pick him up because I have the full-sized version (whaddya know, Hasbro raped him twice!). Leobreaker isn't that bad because he's quite poseable (for an LoC) and he can combine with Prime and Megs with a little imagination. Trust me.

I've got Optimus Prime and Hotshot, but this will give me a chance to get Soundwave.

LoC Suck!!! Why even bother with these???

Some people like small TFs, like Mini-Cons and Micromasters. However, the LoCs are exceptionally bad, as a whole.

One more thing - the flux capacitor enables you to travel through time, not transform. If you can't transform, replace your transformation cogs.

Because children love toys and parents don't mind buying inexpensive toys to keep said children quiet.
