Hasbro Pulse Con 2022 is underway and you can watch it live below:

It seems like Legacy year 1 is over at wave 3, at least in terms of new characters (there may be repacks or solid case sent to retailers). Any new reveals, including Breakdown are for the year 2 of Legacy which is subtitled Evolution.

First they revealed the Poster for Legacy Year 2 where you can see a lot of the line. It gives us out first look at Armada Prime, which will most probably be the Commander Class figure, along with lots of core class Dinobots and deluxe Junkions, which are this line's gimmick. Aside from some of those and deluxe Bombshell and Crosscut, the rest on the poster did get revealed:

Core class

Slug
Sludge: There will be 6 core class dinobots and they combine into Volcanicus
Soundblaster

Deluxe
Breakdown: comes out in Legacy Evolution but will have first year Legacy box
Scraphook: new junkions that can break apart and combine with other junkions or other characters like weaponizers.
Armada Hot Shot
Needlenoze with 2 targetmasters that transform and combine into a bigger weapon

Voyager
Leo Prime: very realistic animal take, not cartoon-like
Tarn: many 5 mm ports for all sorts of loadout options

I was all prepared to skip the core Dinobots are seeing that they didn't look that good, but then they said they combined, and that this time it is a 6-bot Volcanicus, and that torso looks cool, and I decided I need them.

Soundblaster should be a pass for me, I have and love my Takara selects one and FOC one, I am good on the character.

Breakdown still looks good, 1 blaster.

Scraphook looks incredible, he may have just changed my mind on the current Junkion lineup.

Hot Shot looks great! Love it!

Needlenose: about damn time, a bit disappointed in how simple he looks, but still happy he is here.

Lio convoy looks good! I like how this came out, it is neat and I look forward to adding him to the Beasts.

Tarn looks AMAZING. They nailed him. Well done. I am now very torn on keeping my Super7 preorder, since now Nickel is the only real reason to get that set

So no leader class reveal for legacy evolution then?

That Tarn...he looks fantastic!

I'm also down on core class combining dinos.

I would be surprised if Armada prime isn't the commander class.

Currently watching, yeah. Just kinda doing all my "live chat" reactions here lol

You put out that article super fast too! Much appreciated because with the speed of the reveals I didn't get as much time to stare and process. Only now am I seeing what was meant in an earlier comment about hot shot having no knee bend

Sweet! I can pass on most of these and let my wallet rest.

Hearing a design team member say they're going to "have to do more" G2 comic characters really made me smile. I hope they do Rook and Mindset (again). Rook would actually make a really good retool for Scraphook, the chest is already close.

Titan Liege Maximo anyone?

I am so excited for everything except the Core Dinobots, Breakdown and Leo Prime, they look incredible! Especially Tarn, he looks INCREDIBLE and I'll be so disappointed if we don't get the other members of the DJD

Some points about the combining Core Class Dinobots: Slug, a Triceratops and Sludge, a Brontosaurus, form the torso, and the whole will have 6 members. Who else did that? This guy:

if you look in the artwork they kept hinting at as having clues, you will see armada optimus right above the tarn face. looks like that mold is finally coming next year.

Scraphook looks great, the only worry is the truck will come across too small at deluxe (and nots even when thinking of next to ss86 voyager junkions). A buy either way.

As for Tarn, frankly my dear, I dont give a Tarn....but it looks really realllly good so it's a buy.

Lioconvoy is looking really good and despite being more than happy with takara legends i think he will be getting bought.

core dinobots easy pass, at their prices they are close to being potp deluxe prices and the modes look a bit ugly with the odd coloring combo of toy dino mode cartoon bots.

Hotshot looks incomplete in vehicle mode and no jolt, but its a maybe.

Needlenose def buy.

Shattered glass soundwave a buy too even if the ravage can go straight in the bin when it gets left in the box by..erm... accident.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop (toy shop?), these all look fantastic. A mini Volcanicus? A badass Junkion truck? A proper Needlenose update? A GOOD Armada Hot Shot? TARN? I think we already saw Breakdown enough on this site, heh. A GOOD Lio Convoy? (that isn't MP and won't have his paint chip off at the slightest touch at least)

yeah my wallet is going to be drained from this and I can't wait to see more.

I'm looking forward to most of these.

This was my first thought exactly. I really hope this isn't a test for Monstructor/ Dinoking. I know they were small originally, but a proper update each member needs to be at least deluxe class.

Hopefully, since there's no other representation for this series announced....

eh ... like you said, they look good regardless.

Um, . . . no.

Motormaster, absolutely. Menasor is "cartoon accurate" to some of the laziest, slipshod animation the 80's had to offer. He's no more a combiner than a cheerleading squad climbing on each other's shoulders to make a pyramid. The cars are totally irrelevant and unnecessary to the "combined" form. They're just hangers-on. It barely qualifies as a half-assed attempt. While I do have some issues with CW Menasor, at least he doesn't remind me of some cheap, Chinese bootleg knock-off.

That's Dinoking, a Japan-only redeco of Monstructor:

Transformers G1 1989 Monstructor Gallery

They were released in 1989, well after the cartoon ended in the US.

Monstructor is the combined form of the Pretender Monsters. As per their name, they changed into "monsters" and as Pretenders they had monstrous shells, made of rubbery plastic (that didn't age well). In Japan their shells were replaced with Dinosaur ones, matching the original Dinobots plus a new genus for the sixth member.

The layout for those wondering:

Triceratops & Brontosaurus (Kakuryu & Rairyu): Torso
Pteranodon & Ankylosaurus (Yokuryu & Gairyu): Arms
Tyrannosaurus & Stegosaurus (Goryu & Doryu): Legs

I caught that in one of my posts. Let's see if they actually follow through this time.

The chat is PISSED that they're still talking about Transformers when the Power Rangers panel was supposed to start over 10 minutes ago.
