Hasbro Confirms Upcoming Legacy Figures with Package Art During Livestream

Posted by Emerje May 14, 2024 at 11:06am CDT 87,122 views
Today's Hasbro Pulse livestream on YouTube was Studio Series heavy when it came to in hand reveals, but at the end of the stream during their Spacebridge portal reveals they gave us our first look at some long leaked figures making up Wave 4 of Legacy. Surprisingly instead of using random art they used the actual package art that will appear with the toys at the end of the year! We also got a few tidbits about what to expect from some of the figures:

Core Class Energon Galvatron (obvious Energon Megatron repaint)

Core Class unnamed purple and gray repaint of Bouldercrash

Deluxe Class Quake (appears to have two transforming Targetmaster partners ala Needlenose)

Deluxe Class Slipstream (Windblade retool)

Deluxe Class G1 Optimus Prime (based o the original toy!)

Voyager Class Metalhawk (toy colors, not a package refresh)

Voyager Class Animated Motormaster (Animated Optimus Prime retool)

Leader Class Soundwave (Netflix repaint) with three unnamed tapes they'll reveal later

Leader Class Armada Galvatron (Armada Megatron repaint as seen on Tidal Wave's box)

If that preview art is anything to go by, she looks awful. She's just a purple and teal redeco of Windblade's body with some random non-female dude's head that looks nothing like Slipstream's noggin.


The head does look derpy but I chose to ignore it and hope the package art isn't accurate lol

If she has that thwomp head ill skip and hope for a retool down the line. I prefer the Animated style head

There's still the fact that she's supposed to be a Seeker but doesn't have a Seeker body.

And don't cite Legends Slipstream as precedent since that figure was retooled to have Seeker attributes in robot mode beyond being just a mere head swap. >:oP

I like the idea of her being a more stylized seeker instead of looking like skywarp with gray and teal, so I wouldn't have minded the windblade wings and legs. I really don't like those fluffy arm/shoulder things though. I'd have preferred new molding for torso and upper arms. A feaux cockpit chest would've been fine by me

In other words, she has the body of an Autobot. >:oP

I like the idea of finally having a Galvatron with the right G1 colors on an almost Legion class figure (3 inches tall). It's just sad that the alt mode isn't a cannon but instead a spaceship.

A bit of a shame that Soundwave is just the Netflix repaint, but I'll take it.

As for the Missing-Linkish Optimus Prime, I didn't saw this one coming.
:shock:

I know one of the design team really wants to do a "whole new" toy for SS86 Soundwave, but I don't know how much more accurate they could make it than the Netflix one? I imagine this Legacy United Wave 4 Leader class release will have the leftover bits from the siege "space ship" one removed. As for the 3 cassettes, since they are now not bound by who appeared in TF:TM, most certainly; two of them will be Buzzsaw and Ravage. About the 3rd, I'm just not sure if they will go "classic" and include Laserbeak (but that would be 2 Condors in one release), or go with Ratbat for added value?

G1 Optimus? Now I don't feel that bad about not getting Missing Link.

I'm intrigued by Quake, and is that will that Soundwave be SS86? Or will we get a separate SS86 version, like we did with Blaster?

I want to see that new Straxus.

"Leader Class Soundwave (Netflix repaint) with three unnamed tapes they'll reveal later"

It's gonna be Buzzsaw.

They're gonna make me buy this a**hole again just to get Buzzsaw, aren't they? :-(

Straxus's box art gives us a tiny glimpse at who the fourth and final Marvel Comics-inspired figure will be, and it's someone who has yellow hands and maybe red arms?

At first I was thinking Blaster since he'd be Straxus's rival, but nope, Blaster had blue hands in the comics.

So Optimus and Soundwave are the most boring options they could have gone with, cool.
I can't tell any differences between Metalhawk in that art and the already-released version?
Quake and Motormaster look solid.
Slipstream is looking like she's gonna be ROUGH, may have to just pass and try to wait for a proper Animated update whenever they inevitably make a Starscream mold.
No interest in the Cores.
Still trying to wait out a Megazarak from that Armada Megs mold.

I don't know which thread the Straxus comments are supposed to be in right now, but he looks spectacular, they remolded way more than I had hoped for.

There's a rumor that cropped up I think within 24 hours before this that's saying a 2-pack of Flame and Xaaron, so I guess the hand would be Xaaron and the red bit would be Flame if that ends up being accurate? There's also the rumor we've had of Marvel colors Soundwave floating around for like a year now, no clue if anything's happening with that if this tease is indeed the last of the capsule.

IIRC, that was more wishful thinking regarding the Leader class Soundwave.

They basically said it was something surprising that they hadn't done before and the team was shocked they were making. Bmac did say "we're adding nice new bots to the line with that final offering" so it might actually a multipack! They said the reveal would include a special guest next month (Simon Furman?).

I first thought the Velocitron Hot Rod that didnt get released, but prolly wont be. Then I thought maybe its Flame. Not sure though.

Since they were using box art, that Soundwave has new forearms in it w/o Siege stuff.

Apparently, a new rumor has surfaced saying it's a two-pack containing Xaaron and Flame, who I guess would be two Deluxes if they wanna keep the packaging size consistent.

Since he's going to be toy accurate I'm guessing he'll be more metallic gold instead of the more yellow one we got among other little differences.

There was some of that, yeah, but I could have sworn that started because the individual who first leaked/described last year's IDW Miner Megatron also said they saw a purple Soundwave around that same time, and thusly when mystery Soundwave listing popped up some of us said "oh, so that's where that went".

I think that's just reused art from the Core class SW box, so not necessarily.

If they do Blaster and Soundwave it'll be in a future wave since they said they want to continue the line

They said the next release is super out there and surprising and that they'd be adding new bots to the collection. So it's not one of the basic characters they always do. Idk who flame and xaaron are but that makes the most sense

Straxus looks awesome! The face sculpt in particular is great. No head in a jar accessory though? What a missed opportunity.

Comment by Overcracker May 14, 2024
Actually shocked the stream managed to reveal things we had not seen yet. That's definitely surprising.

Anyway,

Steeljaw looks pretty good. Might just have to get Blaster just so I have a reason to get Steeljaw.

How does the retooled grunt manage to look better in both modes than the actual character Barricade he's based off of?

Springer looks outstanding. Tons of accessories to pad out the Leader Price. but yeah the modifications to Siege actually improve him a lot.

So, not Netflix BB, but yet another new BB mold. not sure how I feel about it. Hasbro to all those Bee collectors out there: "You wanna get nuts.... let's get. nuts!". How many different g1 bee molds have we seen in the last 3 years? 7? Not even counting movie bees or gamer bees.

Straxus is fantastic. That robot mode, it's hard to tell he's a Galvatron retool, but honestly that's the only thing he could have been. Nice tease for the 4th Comic series character there.

From the space bridge, I think all I'm really looking forward to, is that Deluxe G1 Prime, and the Leader Soundwave, which should come in with a few of his tape guys to fill in that leader price. So glad they are finally releasing the Netflix retool. But that just makes it stranger that they don't re-release Netflix BB.

A shiny gold Metalhawk might be nice. We'll see.

Galvatron we already knew about. I may get him once he's discounted. I'm fairly sure, he's not that popular of a character outside of Armada die hard fans./
