First Look at Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee DOTM Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound

Slap a coat of browns on that Hound and we've presumably got our Legacy Detritus.

Neither of these are for me, but I know they've been heavily asked after by the fandom as a whole, so good to see they exist.

Don't care about the dread but Hound looks good, though I don't like how little molded detail is on it and how soft it is. Makes me scared that CHUG is going to go into the overly cartoony aesthetic that masterpiece went back in 2016.

Same with the colour they used for the thighs, abdomen, winch, neck and face instead of grey or silver.

I've been worried about this since the reveal of Legacy Kickback (Specifically the shape of his thighs) and noticed it with some of the Kingdom figures, and more recently some SS86 figures, namely Perceptor and the voyager van mold.

While I get what you mean by being simple looking, it looks as I expected and what I assumed many wanted this release to look like.

OOOH.. I love that Hound.. It just might take the place of my generations Hound..

Just me?




Probably.

I wonder about that. They seem to be going modular with all of the Junkions in Legacy this time around so I have my doubts about Detritus being a Hound repaint, I think he's more likely to be a retool of Scraphook. Maybe we'll get the repaint in Selects.

I...don't understand this line of thinking, this goes against every precedent set up until now. For the entirety of WFC, the modular characters skipped a late wave (which would be when Detritus hits) and they didn't do repaints/retools in the retail lineups (unless you count Slammer sharing literally 2 parts with Ironworks, which doesn't seem like it should count), so far we don't actually know that every Junkion will be modular because of that Voyager listing, and it would just be an inaccurate Detritus for the sake of including a gimmick he never had, which the design team hasn't been doing with G1 characters since WFC started (except for the Powerdashers because otherwise why would they even get made). Isn't it more logical to assume that Detritus is going to actually look like Detritus?

Need more pics, but they are looking good!

Day 1017 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Both Hatchet and Hound look great! Took 'em long enough, heh.

In Siege the Modular figures were all Titan partners, in Earthrise they were all Micromaster bases, and in Kingdom they were all fossils. Since they've already established our first Deluxe Junkion to be modular and the poster shows multiple modular Junkions I don't think it's unreasonable to think that's the play pattern they've established for all Junkions. Maybe he won't be a Scraphook retool, but I doubt he'll be a Hound repaint in Legacy.
