New Galleries: Transformers Legacy Laser Optimus Prime and Generations Selects G2 Megatron

This is what we should've had in the first place: correct shoulders and no nonsensical battle damage.

This is just a mini-review that goes over differences between the Legacy and Kingdom versions of Galvatron. The main obvious difference is that all the "battle damage" has been removed. Granted, the way it was done on the Kingdom version didn't make a whole lot of sense, and sometimes, less is more. The "battle damage" marks have been removed the cannon, forearms, chest, and lower legs. The bare plastic and paint colors are otherwise the same.

I have noticed that various joints are indeed tighter, including the hips and skirt flaps. This was a pleasant change to find.

...and that's it. The accessories are the same, so didn't include pics of those.

Is this worth $50 to double dip again? Probably not, unless your Kingdom version had various QC issues and/or the incorrectly assembled shoulders...and you really, really like Galvatron.

Not sure if this is the start of a trend for Hasbro to re-release figures again with slight changes. It's one thing if it's on a cheap figure, but this is a $50 Leader Class figure. That's a bit steep.

The greatest thing about G2 prime, was that his trailer became a combat base where all your toys together could fight of decepticons.
... but with this legacy hommage, they completely dropped it and made the trailer boring.

Could anyone explain to me how that makes sense?
Surely the could have designed it so all your 5mm port weapons and weaponizers can plug in?

How did they drop it exactly?

The Trailer still becomes a combat base:

Pretty much like the original, minus all the spring loaded and air pump gimmicks that are a big no no these days.
