Magnificent set!
Those repaints/remolds were expected and are very well done.
Plus it's nice to see that the kid brought his grandpa to the Disco!

I wonder If the ER Arcee/Elita mold will get 1 more repaint as Ariel. Should've been included in this set.

A few things here... FINALLY they got it right. Don't put an Autobot symbol on Orion Pax. Next, I really do like Alpha Trion, I just (for some reason) don't like the vehicle mode. And it's probably just because he was the 1st transformer that didn't transform, so it's hard for me to grip that mentally (I'm so trying to like the vehicle) but the robot mode is great. Lastly, I REALLY want that key an vector sigma, especially since the stunticons are almost complete.
Oh and I TOTALLY forgot that Megatron was released, it is so horrible looking. I will always keep the Netflix version over that one.
But I'll be buying the set just for the key an vector sigma.

Year one is Legacy.
Year two is Legacy.
Year three... we don't know if there will be a year three but if there is one it will be Legacy.
We've been told several times now that Legacy isn't a trilogy, we weren't even sure originally if we were going to get more than one year. Ignore the "Ev" on the listings, it's on the listings for the first year figures, too.

Generations have been trilogies since Combiner Wars.
Legacy is Chapter 1 of the new trilogy. So the theme may be the TF Multiverse. We can expect anything for the next 3 years.

Hopefully then Hasbro changes the packaging and assortment/ barcodes/ whatever slightly. Otherwise we are back to T30/CW/TR where when you get past year one, And are into later waves, the stores don't stock them

For me with Alpha Trion, his alt mode just screams repainted Scourge, but then you get to the robot mode and any hint of Scourge is gone and it's a bloody neat trick!

I like the set .... but mainly for Orion Pax. They did a great job on Alpha Trion, but he still resembled Scourge too much to me. I don't know what they could do about it - it's such a distinctive design. I'll likely keep Titanium Saint as my AT.

Very nice set. Not sure why the Energon goodie thing is still included with Orion though. I get it shares the mold but it doesn't need that. Overall everything came out very nice.
Unrelated but just a random thought: I wonder if we'll ever get a hate plague collection within Legacy at some point. They can re-issue a bunch of figures but decked out in red translucent plastic. Rodimus, Magnus, Galvatron, Cyclonus, the Predacons, the list goes on. Then Optimus in a deco resembling when he coats himself in the metal to get the Matrix from Rodimus.
Tell me that wouldn't be cool!

...see but the problem is then at SDCC Hasbro designers (don't remember if it was Evan, Ben, or both) said Legacy is a trilogy, hence confusion. My personal theory is that it was initially planned as a trilogy and then they shifted it to a continuous line like Studio Series and the designers just don't know that from the marketing perspective, but as it stands we technically have official word that contradicts other things we thought we knew.Emerje wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:But if it's a trilogy, is chapter 1 legacy, evolution, or what?

So, Legacy is part of a trilosish.

And then some years down the line, all that red translucent plastic would turn it into a Cosmic Rust set.Starseeker wrote:Unrelated but just a random thought: I wonder if we'll ever get a hate plague collection within Legacy at some point.

And yes, I would like that mold used for Ariel, and to answer Sabrblade, I would have liked the 3rd figure included for the price the set is now, or a miniscule increase at the most.

Pfft...please. I picked this name when I joined here over 21 years ago when most of the fandom still despised Rodimus due to their misguided disdain for the loss of Optimus Prime.

Maybe in your own mind.
The ER Arcee mold was liked enough to be released twice, repainted once, and to be fused with the old T-30 mold.
Don't think what YOUR tastes are the same as everyone else's.

I think they are more parroting what others have said, as Rodimus Prime himself said he was 1% that liked it (tongue in cheek) hence the what was said

After all these years, I think they finally nailed Trion, a sweep redeco as he was always meant to be. I was also wondering if the limb-removability was carried over from Kip, and these photos definitely confirm that. Just have to decide between this set or more SG figs.

She actually had a lot of new parts as Elita-1, not just a repaint. But I doubt they'll be revisiting that mold again otherwise they wouldn't have made the SS86 version.
I like to think that Orion was such a nice guy that he decided to bring snacks to work for everyone, but then he got excited about meeting Megatron and forgot to put them down. Then when he got blasted he still had a death grip on them, but Alpha Trion was fine with that because old people love hard candy.
Now that we finally have the best Alpha Trion we're likely to ever have who wants to start petitioning Hasbro for an A-3 figure?

I actually would like A-3 and Beta figures.

I really want to say no to getting that set, since I adore my TR Alpha Trion and technically have PotP Orion, but it keeps looking good, and I do want Vector Sigma and the Key.
I'm also OK if Legacy just becomes a standard line that lasts year after year. SS already does that and has for 4 and a half years. Legacy can do it too, and that name makes sense for using characters from anywhere and everywhere.
Anyways, Metroplex is awesome. He is legitimately the best titan we have ever got, and it's really not even that close. Omega was good and is still the 2nd best, but metroplex is easily more fun, more posable, and more fun.
Amazing how my 2 favorite titans came out in the last year. Iaconus and Metroplex have reinvigorated the Titan class for me after Scorponok was kinda just there.
Also, I got my first 3 Wreckers figures now. Springer's rotor piece pin fell out in the package during shipping, but thankfully I found it and got it back in place, so just beware of that. I like the trio together. Hound is looking super cool and i still hope we get a proper Hound head for him. Twintwist's colors just scream coolness. Springer is a good bit of fun, I never got this mold originally, so it is nice to have it in Marvel colors with the Wrecker's symbol, helps him truly stand apart from the superior T30 figure that remains my definitive Springer.
