Yeah... I don't know that I'll ever order from them just because of that.
I'll take my chances with Amazon, GameStop, and hunting in-store.

Will Amazon have the SG Magnus though?

I thought it was a Pulse exclusive line in the US

The entire SG line has been and still is Pulse-exclusive.

Only in the US. In Canada, it is available at Gamestop but without the comic.

Even if Motormaster is released earlier, it looks like the figure will be released before all the limb bots, no wonder only two are shown on the back of the box and only the third one is teased on the front. I called the auto morph transformation for the limbs, there's no way a child can separate Dragstrip without some tool.

Does Wildrider use Dragstrip's guns, they look similar.

Elita One is the Arcee we deserved.

If Knockout still uses clear plastic in all the spots Jazz does it'll probably break when you try to remove it from the packaging.

Now we wait and speculate.

While I'm excited about the diversity of the cast, each of these toys is giving me a different feeling.

Knock Out: As a huge Prime fan, I was so excited about this toy. In practice, it's very meh. Not sure whether to get it or not.

Wildrider: Hard pass from me. I'm not a Menasor person, and that backpack just looks painful. I'll wait to see if Dead End and Breakdown are any good before making the final decision. (Besides, I can always swap in my CW Stunticons )

Tarantulas: Weirdly enough, I don't like it. I love Tarantulas as a character, but there's something so fundamentally wrong to me about him being so similar to Blackarachnia. 30/70 shot I get it.

Elita-1: I have no idea what to think. On the one hand, this is the best Elita we've got. On the other, it's so clearly meant to be Minerva that it's painful. I'll have to see if I can get Minerva before pulling the trigger on Elita.

Jhiaxus: Not a character I have a personal connection to, but that is one fine-looking figure! Going to get him if my budget allows it.

Soundwave: ... I wanted Prime Soundwave so bad it hurts. Anyway, I already have the Siege. Pass.

Blitzwing: I've kept out of the debate on Blitzboy so far, but here are my two cents: he looks like ass. The jet mode was completely sacrificed, the tank mode had to make major sacrifices, and the robot mode looks damn near perfect. If the prices weren't so high, I'd go for the Titans Return version.

Also, they completely squandered the opportunity to make this Animated Blitzwing.


Even the jet modes line up!

Knockout looks better than expected.
Tarantulas looks cool!
Jhiaxus looks pretty faithful to his comics desgin.
Elita One looks pretty fun!
Motormaster looks good and Menasor is fine,But I wouldn't want him to become the new standard for combiners.

Never give up!

Armada first,though.

They could've even given different colored blast effects to mimic the fire and ice thing

There's always the red and blue ones that came with the Tricranius set.

And, are blast effects even a thing anymore in Legacy?

Very true, but no three faces or double turret tank. Closest thing would be if an upgrade kit comes out but even then

Good point, I'm not sure that they are. The rereleases will still be bloosh compatible as emgo would say, but im not sure about the rest

I thought Tarantulas looked a little off proportion-wise but after looking at some screenshots, he’s not that far off. The mold does a pretty good job of covering the robot parts. He’s the only one I’m considering getting. Just not interested in the rest.

Is this weirdness his very own thing, or is he a "pretool" of some other character like so many Legacy figures are?

The jet mode is very much his own thing. They could reuse the engineering for something else but I wager a lot of this figure will remain unique to him.

The jet mode is SCREAMING to me remold as Armada Thrust, the red nose lines up well with the dimensions of Thrusts noggin and the sides look an awful lot like how AT's feet flanked the jet cockpit, but this IS meant to be Jhaxius

It was confirmed as a retool of Jazz during the stream.

Jhiaxus retooled into Armada Thrust, I can actually see that, but would they make a Voyager Thrust?

Jiaxus is so weird and UNIQUE that I must get him.

That looks like a clown car…

Goddammit, now I can't unsee it!

Let's hope Minerva turn out better.

I have to admit, I think I let myself be overexcited by the very Elita robot mode parts and the fake head on the roof of the car.

I think I still want it, though.
