Amazon Links to Preorder the New Exclusive Transformers Legacy Figures

I'm underwhelmed by Breakdown. I didn't like the mold as Bulkhead and I don't like it here. Windsweeper looks okay, but I don't need him.

I'm eager to get Chop Shop and Barrage though. The deluxe insecticons have always looked cool, and I intentionally skipped the Legacy Insecticons because I'm fine with my Prime Wars ones, so these will be new molds to me.

And now we're glad we picked up the Prime Breakdown re-issue a few years ago. The colours and headsculpt on the Legacy one are spot-on but that's it.

May pick up the insecticons if we find them cheap.


Did they just forget to paint Windsweeper's targetmasters?

They didn't forget, they are attempting to make them the equivalent of his flip out guns which were silver

Not a bad set. Especially Windsweeper.

We might see that - Venom was mentioned in the listings for next year. I hope it's a NEW mold though. As interested as I was in seeing updates for Chopshop and Barrage - I was worried they were just going to revamp the Shrapnel/Bombshell mold. And my fears were justified it turns out. They are indeed just Shrapnel and Bombshell with different colors and a couple different parts remolded here and there.

It's not enough to make me want to buy them (which is just as well, since they're already sold out). I've pretty much had my fill of the Shrapnel/Bombhsell mold with the Legacy Insecticon trio. I want to say, "There's NO WAY they would retool Shrapnel yet again and use him to make Venom" - but Hasbro probably would. Either that, or they'd re-hash the Kingdom Waspinator mold, which wasn't very good.

Who else would they have been retooled from? This is an Amazon-exclusive subline and those are always retools instead of new molds.

No they aren't.

Gotta say, Bulkhead in blue look great... in vehicle mode only.

The mold just does NOT work for any Prime characters. So, if I ever pick this one up, I'll head-swap this for another character.

I ordered the breakdown set. If I don't like it, at least I have 6 months to cancel lol.

Not knowing the character I went back and looked to see for myself and I honestly don't feel that Bulkhead is a very good reuse for Breakdown, at all. Even if it's a realistic/live action take on a Prime character I feel as if they should have used something else entirely, or not even bothered until they had something more accurate to utilize. I'm guessing that Hasbro hasn't yet seen a return on that mold so they needed something to take the bullet? lol

I mean is there any other lesser known character that would have made more sense to reuse Bulkhead for?
