Trailcutter

I'm liking that Trailcutter. It kinda bums me out that they can't call him "Trailbreaker", though...

The Optimus Prime link is wrong. Links to thestar.com.

Sorry y'all but I'm not at home and can't save too much on this computer. If anyone wants to upload those pictures that'd be great!

PS, I'm freaking out. I want those so f'n badly, Trailcutter is the ish!

Why is when I click on Prime's legend toy it's directed to a link for 2009 Toronto bedbug reports per 1,000 households. :lol:

What's with the lack of colour on Starscream's head? Hopefully when they ship out his head will be painted black. Other than that they're all looking nice.

A friend and I were going out to see a movie, then she showed me that link... we are now staying in and ordering Thai.

I know, I'm a news champion :APPLAUSE:

I'm no longer getting Starscream the colors on this final version is just horrible it seems I'll only be getting Goldbug(I refuse to call him "Gold Bumblebee"), megatron and Trailbreaker but these are on the bottom of the list anyway there's so much more worth my money coming

Oh yes... Starscream's unpainted head is a bit of a turn-off....

But I would like that wittle Megatron! 8-}

The Optimus link is still linking to the 2009 Toronto bedbug reports per 1,000 households story.

So how is Hasbro getting away with Megatron's alt mode with no orange cap?

Because not even a Deringer is that small. No way to confuse him with a real gun.

Well, maybe this one:

I was gonna say I actually liked the new name over Trailbreaker (breaking a trail? What the hell does that mean? Is it similar to breaking a horse, or?), but then I google it to see what you were referring to and geez! another Nexus Maximus!

Well, at least it's not EXACTLY the same name like Nexus was. Nope, in this case it's namesake is a lawn mower you hitch up behind your ATV, so that's not as bad I guess.

Oh yeah, kudos to Hasbro for having the balls to make Megatron. These all look pretty cool, even with the minimal paint aps on some of em.

Good god, the bedbug epidemic is getting bad, they're invading our internet links!

While these are good and all (I can now have Megatron wield Megatron to shoot Megatron while hitching a ride on Megatron), all the local stores are still stuffed with Wave 1 stuff...

My x-mas list is getting longer by the day, I hope these come to the UK, I'm not sure I can justify importing Legends Class figures!!

It would seem I forgot to fix the link in the thread as well. Fixed!

Say, that Legends rendition of G1 Optimus is pretty good, as is the Megatron!

by **OptiMagnus** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 1:45 pm

Looks Great!! Finally affordable figures worth buying!!

by **HydraLancer** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 6:00 pm

they look a bit Meh at best.

Usually Transformers are about good alt modes, but now the robot kibble is becoming too revealing in these line of figures, Megarton especially.

They might as well renamed Optimus to Ginrai, becuase it shares almost his exact transformation. A bit lazy on there part.

Incorporating windows as the chest shouldn't be hard Hasbro.

I think they did a great job with Megatron given the size they have to work with and the very limited tooling they can use. I also don't think that Hasbro didn't just take the lazy route and skip the "incorporating windows as the chest" part. I think you are more accurate in saying that it's a pretty clear throw back to Ginrai. To which I say, booya
