The Energon Pub

Another listing appeared in Yahoo Japan which sees the new 2pack legends for the Dark Of The Moon line.

This 2 pack featured Bumblebee and Soundwave - both from the legends class, with an additional bundle of Rodimus from the Universe legends class mold.

So, for those who missed out these legend class figures, it might be a good time to pick them up.

Full listing of the auction can be seen here.

Dang it, Hasbro, you're tempting me.

RODIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it. That second Rodimus is tempting.

I like the paintjobs on these.

Is the rodimus unchanged from his original legends release?

He looks really orange compared to his original release. Hard to tell by the pic though.

I'd get this for the Soundwave, and the Roddy is a nice bonus!

May have to get this for the Rodimus...

In my opinion, that limited release of the Universe Legend was a huge blunder on Hasbros part.

Never saw them at retail, and now I have to spend $35 a legend to get them. That would be cool if it is the same coloring.

Speaking of stuff we never saw in retail, did that Target-exclusive pack with Legends of the 3 bike-sisters fighting Sideways ever come out, or was that canceled? I wanted that one way more than all the exclusive repaints I ever actually saw in Target.

This? Yeah, I'll probably have to get it for Wheelimus *ahem* Orange Rodimus too, though Blue Soundwave always makes a 3-pack worth it, if barely (lousy Nemesis gathering...)

Is that the same Bumblebee mold that came with Nightracer Shadow Striker?

Oh I so want this. Rodimus looks like he's in his G1 colors, or more accurately, his Masterpiece colors. Interesting. I definitely want this!

You'll buy it Ryan, like you bought every single Transformer release in the U.S

No, sadly that has been apparently cancelled.

You guys don't multitask a lot, do you?



The deco on his chest and legs alone should tell it's a repaint. And I'm loving it! Please let it be exclusive to Walmart, pwetty pwease...

I also love that Soundwave is in his Infiltration colors from the Soundwave/Bumblebee 2 pack. Is this the same paint deco as the Japanese exclusive repaint of Infiltration Soundwave?

Not quite. He has Soundwave's G1 colors, the blue is too rich for the Infiltrator deco.

I'll have to get this. DOTM has me on a cyberverse/legends kick now and I've bought up what straggling HFTD legends I could because of it. I want that Soundwave and Rodimus. I've got DOTM legends Bumblebee though, so I'm really not interested in the repainted ROTF legends BB but I guess it can just represent BB before his upgrades. DOTM version is so much nicer.

No way a HotRod & a Soundwave packed together? Never thought id see the day when my 2 favorite characters would be in the same box, Thats frakin awesome. god i hope its not a store exclusive. Only thing that sucks is that im going to be stuck with another bumblebee but its a small price to pay not to try and hunt down Soundwave & Rod on their own, plus the gold doesnt look half bad. The legends wave that had that HotRod was never released over here so im very happy to see this is coming out.

Not bad. I never got Rodimus and that Soundwave doesn`t look bad at all.
I'm really liking these bonus packs.

It's just that Legends toys are so crappy I have to choke on one to remember I have it.

I only have like 3 Legends figures and I got the all for free.

They're like the only ones that I won't buy.

I have a growing army of Legends class figures. I must have close to 100 of these little guys now. The only ones I'm missing off the top of my head are the Takara Tomy solid color Starscream repaints (Seekers) and their ROTF exclusives (Infiltration Soundwave, Defender Optimus Prime, and Demolishor). I'm pretty sure that's all I'm missing but there might some other odd exclusives or variants that I don't have my hands on yet. Not too concerned about getting them ... but it'd be nice.

Lol, yeah me too. I've never bought a Legends figure. This set IS tempting, though. Soundwave and Rodimus in the same pack...hmmmm.

Good play Hasbro. Good play. You have forced me into buying some movie legends buy throwing in a "bonus" Rodimus. I, like many others, will buy this for the Rodimus. Again, good play.
