Legacy Evolution War Dawn Ariel & Dion 2-pack Sighted

It's a shame it's a two-pack. I might have picked up that Erial, but Dion is a skip. I've never really cared for any of the Kup designs.

Wow, one of the last G1 cartoon only characters finally gets a toy! I loved these Cybertron lore filled episodes.

Who'd left who hasn't got a modern toy? A-3, Steeljaw, and Sea Spray's girlfriend right?

Apparently, this is a leak. It wasn't supposed to be revealed until April.

Ooo, heads are gonna roll...

Pretty interesting that Orion and Dion share molds now, even with the latter's new accessories.

Oooo, this is a must buy set the minute it becomes available. Already have the Orion Pax and Alpha Trion one, anyway.

Kinda wondering if they'll make a third set for the next chapter of the Legacy line, and if it'll be Decepticons troop builders.

This War Dawn 2-pack seems an easy pass for me. I never got the Kup figure, or Legacy Arcee. Didn't care much for either.

"War Dawn" you say? Time for new Aerialbots?

Until a couple weeks ago,I hadn't seen any Legacy period at any Walmarts near me. It was like they filled the space with Velocitron stuff only. I was shocked to see Legacy deluxe wave 3 last week at one store, but I haven't seen core in a long time either at Walmart. They did the same with Titan Masters and Battle Masters though. All Walmarts stopped after the first few waves.

I never had the Legacy Prime Arcee mold. This Ariel/Erial redeco might be enough to get in on it. But what happened to the wheels that was behind the shoulders?

Dion is a nope though. Got Kup & Orion Pax from this mold already and they weren't great as a toy. This just makes me want to paint my PTOP Kup into Dion to save some much needed dough.

Not to go to off topic, but I kinda like "Erial" as the spelling over name "Ariel". Same pronunciation so it doesn't really bother me. As for the figures, I really need to see better pictures before I can make a solid judgement. Wasn't happy about seeing the SS86 Kup mold again, especially on Dion with Orion sharing it, but I guess it makes sense (especially if somehow you're someone who still likes to think Dion became Ultra Magnus at some point). Erial being on the Prime Arcee mold is...underwhelming, mainly because of the issues I have with the bot mode as usual. But at least she has new hands, blaster, and bike parts to go along with the new head.

On the other hand, would anyone else be interested in an Animated repaint of the Erial rendition of this mold? Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro decided to go that route.

I'd much rather an Animated Elita come from a repaint of the Legacy Elita mold. Animated Elita had a car mode, and while she'd be blockier and have a different silhouette, it'd be better imo than the wrong vehicle mode and wrong silhouette, but not as blocky
