Transformers Legacy Reveals from Fan First Tuesday

I must have that book.

I'm impressed with those deluxes. Looking good. And yeah, Motormaster will also be a purchase.

While I'm still not a fan of the combination...hot damn that is a GOOD looking Motormaster, leagues above the CW version in sculpt and articulation. And...honestly, the Menasor frame make a good looking base that matches Laser Prime's and Roddy Prime's trailer bases, so I actually genuinely like how this came out.
Those CW ports do seem to possibly imply that maaaaaaybe we might be able to have proper integration of Stunticon limbs, if we still have their CW versions! (I know I do)
Seems rather clever, if that is indeed what it's implying, that way fans probably won't have to truly replace their CW stunt boys - maybe this helps with wanting to display Menasor and the Stunticons all together, heheh!

Soundwave is the Siege version after all! I heard a thousand groans, cries, and curses from around the world when they did the reveal.

Also wowza, those upcoming deluxes look really nice too, I actually was afraid Knock Out would turn out ugly, but it looks really neat as a "G1-ified" version. Tarantulas likewise is going to be a very nice addition to my collection...plus Elita-1's vehicle mode looks adorable.

lol I was one of them. Why the hell?? (And I don't even need it)

Interesting point they mentioned about Legacy is that John Warden was involved in its creation as designs go back to 2019 (as you can see in the art for Arcee that Will posted above).

Knock Out is what we expected and it is said that he's indeed a retool of SS Jazz.

Tarantulas looks incredible! I'm super excited about him!

Elita 1 is probably the best version yet. They describe her as being a sort of dune buggy. It's obvious how Minerva will be made out of her, especially after they revealed the extended shoulder option from her backpack.

Voyager Jhiaxus is basically perfect, all the way down to the wings on his legs and G2 symbol! I was eyeing him in the background as soon as the stream started.

Soundwave is a refresh from the WFC Netflix figure as expected, not the Prime character, but they removed the battle damage like they did Galvatron. I'll probably get him since my original Netflix figure has a bum foot.

Nothing new with Blitzwing, but I didn't realize the Hulk Hands pop off the arm with a 5mm peg so there's some interesting things that can be done there.

Menasor looks sooooo good with the arm and leg cars connected. Also there is no way to shut the panels on the lower legs without the car attached so the frame remains open. The arm transformation is really cool, it's very involved. Love it!

What a Decepticon heave reveal!

Emerje

Elita, Tarantulus, and Jhiaxus look awesome

The Legacy Stunticons will be a genuine mini MP without having to spend a zillion roubles in 3P toys. Plus with that principle, he shouldn't be a floppy mess like the old CW.

Can't wait!

Love the G1 accurate Elita 1! I really didn't expect that.
I'm really liking Tarantulas, although his proportions seem a tad off. What surprised me is that he's an entirely new mold! I fully expected him to be just a Blackarachnia retool. They're taking the whole "realistic altmodes" thing quite seriously, love it.
JHIAXUS IS AMAZING! I love him! I can't believe he exists!
And the Stunticons are just perfect

Tarantulus looks OK. Yes, the proportions are a little off. But look at Kingdom Scorponok and say that HE was any better .

Looking forward to trying to corral the Legacy Stunticons.

Will Knockout be compatible with the Legacy Menasor frame?

What? Why would he? He's a retool of Jazz.

no

That arm transformation for menasor really impressed me. That's like a step higher for a combiner, integrating two components to then transform them together as one. They asked if that's a first for transformers and it is not, since Tidal Wave also had that. But it is hard to do and really cool.

Loving that Tarantulus figure.

Doubtful. He's supposed to be a retool of Jazz. The Stunticons are all-new molds.

Elita looks alright, the vehicle mode made me chuckle. Looks a bit derpy.

I'm looking forward to Tarantulas, looks like they got the mold right, but he should be a bit darker shade of purple. No Inferno?

I knew Soundwave was coming, but it still irks me just a bit we didn't get the 'clean' version right away.

Delta Magnus: YES! Jhiaxus: HELL YES!

haha, I heard that groan too.

Granted, that is exactly what the description said it would be, a package refresh of the soundwave and so the only option was that siege one.

Why it wouldn't be the Earthrise version vexes me (not that I need it).

TRIPLE YES on the other two! 1 o'clock can't get here fast enough.

Inferno and Dragon Megatron are wave three.

Tarantulus looks great, just makes it more a pity they didnt give blackarachnia her spider face bits. Tarsantulus really wouldnt suit a toy/black arachnia redeco but i'd be tempted just to have blackarachnia.

Knock out looks great, cthru plastic headlights? YAY going back to being more genertations feel of figures and yet another great car mode which can't often be said.

Elita 1, meh. Might be more interested in the retool/minerva. It's not bad by any means just really superfluos at this point. Would prefer a RID strongarm or something.

Jiaxhus, looks Ugly in all the right ways. Picking him up but i'm kind of at a blank on his reuse or retooling down the line.

Shattered Glass Magnus, nope. Its a badly overpriced figure in the first place and doesnt really cut it as delta magnus with the head option if his shattered glass symbol cant be replaced.

Motormaster does well to hide how ugly dragstrip is with out having to pose hime awkwardly. Not sure if it showed the base have any kind of connectivity to anything and lack of a ramp is kinda disapointing. shame no optional little car with him for his chest. I'll likely pick him up if he goes cheap at some point.

Siege soundwave...yikes. even netflix mold is pretty bad but hey ho. Easiest pass of the line.
