All of these I will never ever see in store.

Yes, I am excited too. Hopefully Shadow Striker will be Cyberverse based. But on the downside, Crasher might be made from earthrise mirage, which is an awful mold and even worse for crasher. Lio convoy was a surprise too. I dont know anything about beast wars 2 story line, but my fanfic was that Lio Convoy is Cheetor as a prime.

So they'll put these up for pre-order, possibly at the same time that they're going on shelves, but those that PO will have to wait 6 months for their orders to be filled.

By equal measure that if they are mentioning diaclone as a universe and they aren't mentioning IDW as one at all is just as great XD

They probably think they'll be confusing people by having to specify which IDW comic universe it's from, like imagine if they did a character that originated within the Marvel UK comic line... in fact they may not designate comic universes for that reason.

They do use "Comic Universe" for Marvel UK-original character Impactor, while the similar comic-original character Jhiaxus is instead labeled as "G2 Universe".ZeroWolf wrote:blackeyedprime wrote:By equal measure that if they are mentioning diaclone as a universe and they aren't mentioning IDW as one at all is just as great XD

Probably that. I just asscoiate the word Universe with Transformers as being repaints from anyhwere in transformers due to the old toyline than specific set Universes anyways. A Universe Universe labelling would probably be more confusfing than comic universes listing

You'd probably have to specify which universe line since Hasbro used it twice

That's just customary at this point.

Isn't it a little weird that "Diaclone Universe" is a thing? They weren't characters in that line, they were just vehicles that happened to turn into robots with drivers so it isn't like they're bringing over an established character. And then there's the fact that Clampdown is already established in G1. Speaking of which, where's "G1 Universe"?
Also...
2000?
Did you know Cheetor actually has an official old man lion upgrade?

As opposed to "Robots in Disguise 2015 Universe Strongarm" and "Robots in Disguise 2015 Universe Steeljaw" that we'll be getting in a future Legacy line--if there's any justice in the universe(s).
We're not going to see "Aligned Universe" on packaging after all.

Though, the online bios unlockable with the toys' QR codes does contain "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" labels for the G1 and BW toys that lack any on-package universe labels.

These universe labels are nonsense. Hasbro can pretend that they mean anything of value all they want, but they're just blah. Esepcially Impactor's "Comic Universe" label when he's a G1 character too.Emerje wrote:Isn't it a little weird that "Diaclone Universe" is a thing?

Since the premise is that a bunch of characters from non-G1 universes are coming over into a G1 universe, the default universe that Legacy is set in is the "G1 Universe" and thus doesn't need to be labeled in Hasbro's eyes.Emerje wrote:Speaking of which, where's "G1 Universe"?

Technically the Car Robots cartoon and toy line it is based off of started in the year 2000.
While the North American Robots in Disguise cartoon and toy line started in 2001.
The "Black Convoy" toy was released in 2000 in Japan.

I thought Emerje's point was more that Robots in Disguise was more commonly put as Robots in Disguise 2001 (with Car Robots having debuted in 2000)

All those packing shots are really pretty.
Please let me be strong, I do not need to buy all of them even if I want to

At least it ended up somewhere I guess. It's sort of like the 2008 Universe line packaging and website calling out the "series" for each figure.
Bingo! They came so close to making another fan term official (like G1), but got the year wrong. Hasbro didn't release Car Robots so there's no reason for them to use 2000 here and there's no longer any question that this figure is Scourge from the 2001 line now. Back then (I don't really see it used anymore), before RID2001 we were calling Car Robots "Car Robots 2000" because that name itself was borrowed from the original Diaclone toy car line that gave us much of the '84 lineup.

It feels to me like Hasbro wanted to have its cake and eat it too, wanting to use the "Robots in Disguise" name of the English version, but still retain the original year of the toys' first release in any market, trying to please everyone but ultimately pleasing no one.Emerje wrote:At least it ended up somewhere I guess.
