Possible First Look at Legacy Evolution Bombshell

Something about that shade of purple on Bombshell just looks way too bright.

And, even though it's accurate, something about all that gray and silver makes the robot head look unfinished in its paint deco.

Why does the legacy toyline already have more toyfigures in it then the Transformers prime toyline had, even though the prime toyline came with a succesfull tv-series, while legacy mostly seems to be a random assortement of figures without a specific medium to promote them?

Easy.
The "medias (with an S) to promote them" exist since at the very least 40 years. The toys are from G1, Prime, all the RiD, Beast Wars, IDW, Armada, and more.
Legacy is the ultimate love letter to the fans who love ALL of Transformers since they began.

It doesn't. Prime had over 110 figures in it's retail line (including Beast Hunters, excluding First Edition and exclusives) while Legacy is currently at 70-ish (excluding exclusives). 2024 will probably surpass Prime, though it may be a three wave line so they can do something new in 2025.

Hoping Hasbro gets to finishing rest of the Deluxe Insecticons, happy with my little ones enough to avoid Legacys.

Not necessarily. Only one Commander class toy has ever gotten a redeco, and that was only as a Shattered Glass toy.

I wonder if figures like Shadowstriker would be better received if they were marketed like the early Generations and Reveal The Shield lines: no ties to a specific continuity outside the united design. Honestly, it seems like most of the criticism, my own included, is because the whole "X Universe Character" creates expectations regarding the character's design which eventually fall flat because of the unified aesthetic. Even the better ones have a little something missing, like Animated Prowl being too bulky or RID2001 Scourge not having the right colors. Honestly, the only ones safe so far are the UT and BW figures.

Also, I really hope they redo Armada Starscream in the future; the fact he's the only Legacy Armada without Mini-Con compatibility really stands out.

So, about the leaked listings:
- I hope UT Megatron ends up going through the same Megatron/Galvatron cycle from each series. And dear Primus, I don't even know if I'm being sarcastic or not!
- Guess the Rock Lord Weaponizers are practically confirmed. Now here's wondering if they're straight-up turn-into-rocks Rock Lords, or if they try to pull a twist in the alt-mode to make them more interesting (like, say, being regular Transformers with vehicle and/or beast modes but a golem-like design instead of regular metal robots, or Modulators with temple-like base modes). But, if I may suggest an out-of-left-field possibility:

I mean, they were originally meant to be rock beings, already have designed alt-modes, and even their names still reference rocks (lithos or stone -> Lithone, granite -> Granix -> Kranix, marble -> Marblus(?) -> Arblus).

Found these images on Instagram this morning.
This is a pass for me, but thought I’d share.

Now idk

I figured it was a long shot but I was hoping to like this figure more as well.

Not the shade of blue I was imagining, but he still looks decent. I do like the Skyquake mould and have been looking forward to Dreadwing. I'll definitely buy one when he's out.

Also, I got a shipping notice for my Armada Megatron pre-order, I'll have him by the end of this week, and I'm really excited to get my hands on him!

This mold has a similar issue that I have with other molds;
Between the length and the bulk of the torso, the legs are too short.
And I understand the bot mode has the jive with the alt mode and transformation.
But even if these proportions are accurate to the character model, it doesn’t work well for me.
