I guess this is to contrast with the original G2 Megatron which towered over G2 Prime ( which the body itself was just the OG Prime)

I don't think they thought past just having a redeco of another tank megatron.

CBR just showed off product shots of Wildrider. Gotta be honest, I'm liking him so far. Would have preferred a toy accurate head, but as it is, the head isn't too terrible. Definitely loving the vehicle mode though. I really hope that we get a G2 set of Stunticons

Whoo-hoo! Keep em comin'! That Wildrider looks fantastic!
I fully expect to be vindicated by all the people yelling 'eh, I don't want the new Stunticons cuz reasons'.

Oh, I want new Stunticons. I just want ones that actually combine.

I think it's going to work out just fine, but I'll reserve judgement on that front.

That's...terrible. Just terrible.
Anyway, the livestream is supposed to be an hour, so there'll be more than just these two revealed (even if that ultimately means 'more figures we've already seen.')
Also, I tried the QR codes on these, and even though they do take you to Transformers.com, they've not yet added the pages.

Well technically the TF one starts at 11 EDT, the PR one starts at 12 EDT. I predict it will be closer to 40 minutes, because you know they have to "clear the room" to get ready for the next panel .
I hope all of Legacy wave 2 is revealed and we DO get to see something not leaked by a press website before tomorrow morning, but we shall see. I wouldn't be shocked if all we got was maybe 3 or 4 toys, and the rest is about Mobile Games, other licensed merch etc... nobody cares about, but Hasbro got paid to advertise them, so they will.

I'm not a Stunticons guy but he looks fantastic! Interesting that the promo material for Blitzwing in the CBR piece says nothing about his extra hands...
Well the packaging does say "2 of 5 MENASOR" so I'd say that's a given!

If all of wave 2 is revealed tomorrow, we still have core class shockwave, Tarantulas, Elita 1, Jhiaxus, and Knockout to look forward to. And I suppose we'll see what they do with Soundwave

Unfortunately the term has been convoluted recently in the minds of some fans. whether all components are physically touching each other, or combined via a frame. To me it makes no difference, but to some it does.
I have little doubt that this new Legacy Menasor will be a vast improvement over UW/CW, but I just have to resist out of principal. I am perfectly ok with the UW version I have, I do not need another.

..interesting thing I noticed: Wild Rider seems to have the detailing on his arms lifted wholesale from his CW figure.
The problem is that Lore Keeper (and I, and a number of others around here) want basically a new CW-style Menasor so the Stunticon cars actually form the limbs, just with better engineering, not Sunbow-accurate "Menasor" (read: Big Motormaster with cars superglued on his limbs), and all the evidence thus far points to this "combiner" being that second option.RotorstormNZ wrote:Lore Keeper wrote:I just want ones that actually combine.

I really want a UW Superion set, but I'm gunshy because of these new Stunticons, so I feel you there.

Also, hey, they got the "Wildrider" name back by adding a space in the middle of it as "Wild Rider".
The last few Wildrider toys from Hasbro were instead named "Brake-Neck".

I think this Wildrider looks very good. And both modes, too.
Imo he looks better than Dragstrip (relatively speaking).
And yeah that's more of a backpack and kibble than I would've liked, but still overall this is a good sign for the rest of the group.
As I said with Blitzwing, this figure's proportions look great; I just looked at some CW and UW Wildrider images, and while those versions were fine, those lower legs were pretty stumpy.
I also really dig the retro-esque car mode better than the CW version's.
This figure alone is sparking a bit of encouragement for me in that this set may in fact be worth the wait and money.

I'm considering displaying my UW set as individuals with my other Decepticons...
The big potential dilemma will be if I end up liking all 5 Stunticons but not Menasor.
