I'm still waiting for confirmation on the name. I mean, don't we all remember the trend of naming a reborn Megatron "Galvatron?" If that's the case, Bay wasn't too far off

Legends aren't really my thing I'm afraid, but I'll probably only get the leaders, since that's all I have

We already saw a fast action battler and it said Megatron on the box, so we're pretty sure it's megatron.

Well, I'm not so sure about Ratchet.
Is it confirmed that Megatron is not in the movie at all????

So I'm guessing this is the entire 2nd wave of Legends. wave 1 is probably Optimus, Bumblebee, Springer and Jetfire, then these four.

Sideswipe looks way beeter though - sold on him!

On the plus side, it looks like he's got shoulder, elbow, hip and knee articulation. And the paint job is bitchin. The black and silver is badass.
The Starscream and Ratchet molds could really have been retired. They were among the worst legends first time around.
Sideswipe, I'm in awe. That's well up to par. The only thing I don't get is how they managed to use 3 shades of blue paint. That's a bit of a head scratcher. One shade would have sufficed for everything, and it makes no sense to paint the side windows a different shade from the windshield. But so what. Gotta have it.

Actually I'm kinda digging the "fade" effect...

Hmm, could be. Looked like light reflection to me.

Still seems like the extra paint app might've been better used elsewhere, but we'll have to see how it looks in person.

Nah I don't think that's the light...I'm pretty sure it's painted that way...Pretty snazzy for a Legend...

And with a Legends version, I can test out to see how a red repaint looks before buying a second Deluxe and repainting it.
