A great day for those of you who've been anticipating this figure- the Walgreens exclusive figure for this year's Legacy Evolution line is Medix, and he's now available on Hasbro Pulse!
Medix is a character from the Rescue Bots cartoon who's been brought into the Legacy universe via a G1-ified version of the character. This isn't the first version of "G1 Medix" to get a toy, though- that honor went to the Botcon 2016 Custom Class toy, which was a repainted and redecoed Combiner Wars First Aid. This version, however, uses Legacy Crankcase as a base, while borrowing the head from the Burnout version of the mold.... and Legacy Elita One's weapons. Check out the official pictures below.
Interestingly, he's only labeled as "Autobot Medix" on his box, and doesn't carry a "Rescue Bots Universe" tag like his fellow Rescue Bots character, Chase, who will be released in Legacy United next year.
As of 12:30 MST, Medix is still available on Pulse, though isn't showing up on Walgreens website just yet. Snag your copy by clicking the link at the beginning of this story.

Only NOW is Medix out in the USA via Pulse?
It was available for months at GameStop and it's now available at my local geek store as well.

Right, but only in the States. When Pulse offers their copies of these exclusives, they generally time their release to when the US retailer is offering them. Walgreens is usually a little behind compared to the others, though.

Now the independent geek stores in Canada can now order the overstock that GameStop didn't order. They sell them full price, of course.

One of the rare occasions the UK got him before the US.
Picked him up on a whim months ago from Pulse.
He's pretty good, colours are nice in hand. Joints on ours didn't show any mold over-use issues, but the weapons were a little loose.

Actually I thought that in the past, Pulse doesn't open up their offers until everything has been delivered to the exslusive retailer, not when the retailer puts them out. Kingdom Red Alert was available on Pulse in August 2021 (I ordered Aug 19th to be exact), after delivery to Walgreens, but before Walgreens put them out for Christmas. I missed out on pre-orders for Minerva last year, so I don't remember how early she was released.
I was really suprised that Pulse waited so long this year and wonder if that was on the request of Walgreens so they didn't have a bunch of grown men stalking multiple stores for months leading up to the Christmas reset (like I did for the TR Clones, and PotP Wreck gar before I realized I had to wait for Christmas in the days before Pulse existed).

It's a damn shame that the flaws on Crankcase exist with Medix such as loose joints and parts not tabbing in secure like sooooooo it's an unfortunate pass for me since I really wanted him.

Well crap and/or yay. Amazon is playing musical ship dates again this time with Legacy United wave 1. Prime, Thundertron and Magneous got moved up to December 8th or 10th. Of course right after ordering Armada Prime, Thunder Machine Soundwave and Titan Nemesis within the last 10 days and heading right into Christmas. Oof. I'll likely cancel Magneous knowing he should be the most likely of the 3 to be gotten on sale later, possibly Thundertron too. Prime always sells well, so I'm hanging onto him and he'll go under the tree.
Looks like I may need to do a few extra good deeds to make sure I was a good enough boy to Santa.

They're supposed to be delivered on the 9th and 10th even though they're supposed to be in-stock tomorrow. I'm really thinking about just canceling my orders and quiting the hobby. I'm that disgusted.

Not gonna lie, the SS86 Optimus news now makes me even more confused about the Legacy Deluxe G1 Optimus listing, especially since both of them will overlap at retail if SS86 Optimus comes out when SS86 Magnus did. Maybe it really is alligator Optimus?

That TR Skully wouldn't work.
What would be better to use as a base is the stellar Cyberverse Ultra Skullcruncher. Remove the gimmick, fill in the hollow spaces and you'll end up with something awesome.

Irrelevant. They don't use the previous non WFC molds either, appart the single time they did for the first Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack.
If they make Croctimus, it will be a brand new mold for sure. A mold that could be reused for Cyber Skully AND Croc Megatron.

Medix looks okay but doesn't pique my interest, had it been a Protectobot version I'd be more keen on possibly getting it. And that's if the rest were made.
That said, I'd still prefer Aerialbots to form Superion.

Wait a minute, I just noticed this:
That's because it isn't Rescue Bots Medix, it's G1 Medix first introduced at BotCon 2016 as part of their Combiner Wars line up (as part of that year's custom class. Since he's G1 he doesn't get the Universe indicator. And yeah, I know the original has a Rescue Bots symbol on the hood and is based on the RB alternate deco, but his BotCon bio makes no reference to that, only recognizing him as an alternate member of the Protectobots like Rook.

So basically this is one of those "vague" releases with ambiguity as to where it actually fits? Because it seem to be either G1 or RB specific. Though it does also show the figure posed with the front end as the chest which looks better to me, I'm actually not a fan of the Crankcase mold. So that's one reason it doesn't interest me, the second is that it's not a Protectobot I would want to have. I'd prefer the original team members Blades and Groove over any of them, First Aid and Streetwise just look too similar to Rachet and Prowl. Alt mode that is.
I mean fine if it appeals to those who really need this repaint, and it being an exclusive doesn't affect the main line in anyway. It just feels to me like a lot of "Fringe" stuff is getting done that possibly no one is asking for over Bots that are actually requested/wanted and needed. Also, some of these repaints aren't all that accurate to the actual design/model of car so it feels even less desirable.

The packaging doesn't identity a universe, it just says
"Autobot Medix." The G1 characters generally don't have any formal universal designation, so this is as close as Legacy gets to officially G1.

The listing on Hasbro Pulse says it belongs to the series named "The Transformers", which is G1. It's G1 Medix, the same guy first created at BotCon 2016. RB Medix went on to have a completely different look, role, and personality when he made his fictional debut in the Rescue Bots Academy cartoon, which ignored his first two toy designs in favor of a whole new one. G1 Medix, however, takes inspiration from RB Medix's second discarded design (as that was the most recent Medix design at the time of BotCon 2016, since RBA didn't exist yet).Till-all-R1 wrote:So basically this is one of those "vague" releases with ambiguity as to where it actually fits?

Walgreens seems to now only want medical or rescue characters, and the bigger names like Ratchet and Red Alert have already been done. So Hasbro's now having to look to lesser known ones like Minerva and Medix.Till-all-R1 wrote:I mean fine if it appeals to those who really need this repaint, and it being an exclusive doesn't affect the main line in anyway.

Which makes me wonder why they never reserved Lifeline / Paradron Medic for them. Did Amazon really need one packed with Ratchet? Maybe they could have repainted the SS86 Arcee or even Bumblebee Movie Arcee at some point.

Yeah, good thing Magneus was the only universe wave 1 thing I pre-ordered (especially now at almost $27 for a deluxe after tax yeesh...), wasn't expecting it so soon. Also laughable, we are already getting 2024 line stuff from Amazon, but no Target or Walmart near me has anything from the last 2 waves of Evolution, and many Walmarts still have 2022 product on the shelves... Hasbro had a good idea when they started with PotP, and carrying through WFC; changing the UPC code each year. I wonder why they dropped it for Legacy?

I've seen Deluxe wave 4 stocked twice now at my local Walmart (which also put out yet another box of G2 Deluxe figures for I think the 5th time now), but have never seen wave 3 in stores and barely online. Wave 3 seems to be wave that got short changed this time around.

So, like many others who pre-ordered on Amazon, I got Magneous on Tuesday. After a couple days I finally have some time to share some thoughts...
I was surprised in that, since in vehicle form it looks very much like Scraphook, I was surprised to see it was almost completely different. The Transformation is new, they did reuse the windshield/windows to make into a shield but that's about it,everything else is different.
Its going to take more time to see how well these new "Armorizers" work with other bots, but the gimmick is always a fun one. I know the inspiration comes from Rock Creatures in episode 32 of Headmasters, as well as Rock Lords. Still with a name like "Infernac Universe" I'm really hoping there is some sort of Inhumanoids tie-in as well, especially since that series ALSO had a heroic race of Rock People. Look at past gimmicks however:
2019 - Weaponizers - A Wonderful way to integrate the Titans smaller components into the line, and give them their own personalities
2020 - Modulators - I especially liked the roab building gimmick along with the Shield Battle Masters for this year, but it also gave a new form and new life to the Micromaster Stations that really had none previously.
2021 - Fossilizers - All new characters playing on the popular Dinosaur motif. Complimented Kingdom quite well, and Id welcome mor ein the future
2022 - (Legacy's first year did not have a parts forming TF gimmick)
2023 - Junkions - More parts forming boths, but also fully able to Transform without taking them apart, also bridging out into a Voyager to accompany all the deluxes (and the combined mode) Definitely an awesome assortment of toys for this year
2024 - Armorizers - We have just one so far, but I can't wait to see more. As different as Magneous is from say...Scraphook, I hope when the others are revealed they arent simply templated off of other deluxe junkions, Id like to see some wildly new designs for "rock creature vehicles"

These new rock guys look very cool, but I hope they give them some more interesting colors. Not all rock is brown or grey, plus these are toys, that should give them leeway when choosing colors, I hope.

As expected.
Don’t see Ramjet there. At Titan class, I do expect a Ramjet. Though Metroplex did not get his, I guess it makes sense.

Tidal Wave will have removable faux parts to combine with Megatron.

Maybe we'll get it separately like Brunt or Cog. But considering none of the Armada figures got their mini-cons I'm not expecting it. Doesn't matter much.Overcracker wrote:Don’t see Ramjet there. At Titan class, I do expect a Ramjet. Though Metroplex did not get his, I guess it makes sense.

When a YouTuber also gets to help set up the displays at a toy show it also comes with the perks of being able to handle figures early. That's what happened with Ben Custom Toys was able to work the Hasbro booth at Cybertron Con 2023 in Singapore this weekend giving us early access and our first look at the newly revealed Transformers Legacy United Origin Wheeljack. Surpassing expectations, Voyager Wheeljack does not appear to share any parts with the previous Deluxe Origin Jazz and for the most part seems to be on par with the previous Origins releases. As with the previous releases he's expected to be a Target exclusive, but an image of the box shared on Baidu appears to be a normal United box rather than Buzzworthy Bumblebee. The package also shows that much of the alt mode shell can be removed and probably isn't required to be hung off his back.
Also handled in the video are Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Megatron and Rumble, United Tiger Hawk, Thundertron, Animated Optimus Prime, Animated Bumblebee, Cyberverse Windblade, Rescue Bots Chase, Gamer Edition Starscream, 86 Scrapheap, Reactivate Soundwave, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream, and closeups of others.

That Wheeljack will be a must!
Also, is it just me or it also works as ROTB Pablo's origin?

I’ve been waiting for this Wheeljack forever!! He is what I thought the Seige line was going to be about, I was sorely disappointed when we didn’t get our boxy pre-Earth boy. Haven’t snagged Origin Bee yet, but I certainly am gonna try now.

I seem to be one of the few that just isn't feeling the box look of this fig. easy pass for me just like Jazz was (yes I skipped origins Jazz).
