An auction on eBay is giving us our first look at Legacy Evolution Leader Dreadwing. The Skyquake repaint doesn't have any new parts on the figure itself, but does replace the gatling gun with a proper canon just like the original toys. The colors are not cartoon accurate and there's a lot of debate within our Energon Pub Fourms about just where Hasbro got the colors from, but that's going to take an official reveal to get the truth about. Thanks again to Sowndwave76 for letting us know!

The yellow highlight and the red canopy on the cockpit? Wrong Dreadwing, Hasbro:
Was that a deluxe class figure?
Yup, and an original mold among several retools to boot.
What was he retooled into?

I'll still wait for the Machine Wars Starscream version, most likely with a new head.

Nobody: what I meant was the majority of the Beast Hunters Autobots and Decepticons were retools of their Robots in Disguise figures, while he and a few others were original molds.

My local Walmart finally caught up with current offerings... sorta. They basically skipped over anything past Deluxe Wave 1 and got Evolution Wave 2 on the shelves... but not in the system. Still no Core, which makes me

Wish he had more yellow/gold though, too much gray
Still holding out hope it's just bad pics like the first product shot I saw of wreckers Bulkhead

And on the favorite decepticon from Prime

Gotta be something related to a "Seeker" or something. Unless it is something related to King Atlas

Yeah, I dont even search for Core or Deluxe at retail anymore. Neither my Walmarts, nor Targets are carrying them. Its all Amazon for me, unless I travel like I did a couple weeks ago and happen to find well stocked Targets far from my home that actually carry merch that isn't RotB or Earthspark.

Skyquake's toy had it too:
Transformers Prime: Robots In Disguise Skyquake Gallery
It first appeared on such figures as ROTF Mindwipe, ROTF Skystalker, and 2010 Sunspot:
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Mindwipe Gallery

Thanks!
It's supposed to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive that'll pop up on Pulse after, while also being a Gamestop exclusive in Canada where it first popped up

But this photo of Dead End’s alt mode; if that’s Photoshopped, that’s pretty damn good work, because it looks legit to me.
And I’m almost surprised we haven’t had any official word of more G2 figures before now.

Only reason I'm leaning towards it being real is because we do have listings for G2 Dead End for the Toxitron collection

He really is a good figure, they all are. I prefer them displayed as a separate group than as Menasor, but I have limited space so I've been contemplating selling my set.Nemesis Destron wrote:I finally opened Motormaster and it's a great figure! It's too bad chose not to give him a firearm of some sort to wield. I was totally surprised how heavy this trailer was. If I was told there was die cast pieces inside I would have believed it.

I agree especially considering he's Commander Class, and at that price what could an extra accessory truly cost them? Literally pennies for a blaster/rifle. And frankly one shouldn't have to resort to 3rd party sellers and have to pay $10-20 extra just for a basic accessory! I can understand if someone want an upgrade of some sort but to have to resort to them is another thing entirely.
I probably won't ever form Menasor due to space issues either so I will try to sell off his trailer if I can. I mean a fully formed bot would basically be like a Titan right, essentially as high as Omega Supreme or at the very least Jetfire.

I don't do stolen toys and Titans are too expensive for me now, especially when people promote the stolen reviews.

The expensive part I understand, but don't most reviewers get legit copies of figures if it's within a certain amount of time to the street date?chuckdawg1999 wrote:I don't do stolen toys and Titans are too expensive for me now, especially when people promote the stolen reviews.

Nope, Hasbro stopped doing that years ago. Now they only do samples when they're trying to do a big push on something, usually in the form of a large blind crate, like their recent bundle of stuff for RotB. And you'd have to be really popular to get one of those.

It's funny: as since Cyberverse i really can only see Swoop as a lady, so I am going with a female Swoop here for Core class; the 2nd Grimlock works as Cyberverse Tiny Arms, so no issues there with 2 identical leg bots; and as Cyberverse is the only good Volcanicus, I like to this this one has the same personality, even if it has a new limb who is a medic/dynamic alt mode inventor.

Also, those boxes are sent out well after most of the toys are found in stores and online retailers. The only time they sent something out early was with Kingdom but no one could open or do anything with the sets until AFTER a certain date, which was after all of wave one was found in stores or online.

Munkky wrote:Another Hasbro Pulse Transformers stream has been announced for 20th June at 4pm ET, this one promising both new Legacy and Rise of the Beasts reveals. At first I thought this would be revealing wave 4, but the wording of the announcement makes it sound like the focus will mostly be on Rise of the Beasts, so I'm guessing this stream will just announce more exclusives for Legacy instead, perhaps some Toxitron stuff, and wave 4 could be saved for SDCC or a similar event. Either way, I'm looking forward to a pre-order going up for Dreadwing.
I don't know, we've already seen leaks for four Evolution wave 4 figures now, they might want to get out ahead of the rest of them.
I think they'll hold off on the next HasLab. They've done overlapping HL campaigns before, but I don't think there's any reason to rush.

I’m willing to bet both Springer and Soundwave are new molds…
I was thinking Soundwave would be in SS86, but I’m thinking this will be a G1 version, especially with word of more Cassetticons already being leaked.

The difference between a voyager and leader is roughly 20 bucks before taxes, so I expect 2 cassettes to come with him. Since we got Rumble in SS86 and Frenzy is sure to follow, I'm guessing the classic duo of Laserbeak and Ravage will come with this figure.Emerje wrote:I feel like we heard rumors of Cybertron Hotshot before. Interesting that Soundwave is a leader, I wonder how many tapes he'll come with at that price?
I'll be stunned and laughing if it turns out to be a rerelease of the Netflix set in Legacy packaging.
Though Blaster and Twincast did get a cassette with each of them and they remained at voyager price. So maybe with Soundwave we'll get both birds and Ravage for the extra money.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on June 15th, 2023 @ 4:35am CDT
I'm 99% sure of that and I'll be fine with it.
But if in the 1% chance that everything are a brand new mold, with no "Siege Soundwave scars", and if he comes with a completely remade Lazerbeak and Ravage cassettes, I'd be impressed.

Hopefully it's just a Netflix repack and not some bullshit like a repack with Buzzsaw or something.
What if it's Marvel Soundwave? With that shade of purple and the mouth?

I could go for a Soundwave that that can handle all of the different sized cassettes that have already been released in other lines. Never gonna happen because has to sell new cassettes, but I can dream.
