But it's the same ordinary Drift body he's already had.

You sure? if you look at the legs, they look like springers. The chest ither be molded to make shorter on drift. It's a very compatible moped tho

Springer doesn't have wheels on his elbows.

Look at the wheels on the legs, it's on the main leg not on the side like drift. And the wheels on arms coukd be modified

That is not a wheel. That is the vent under his knee.

The official Transformers Facebook page has just plugged the Transformers: Legends mobile game's next Team Battle event, releasing five (well, four) new images of the one true king: Grimlock. Check out the artwork below, and start the new episode this Wednesday June 18th!

We're celebrating reaching one million fans on the official Transformers Facebook page all week long with exclusive new artwork! If you like Grimlock, you'll love this art from Transformers Legends! The new Team Battle event featuring Grimlock launches on Wednesday, June 18th, with pre-registration beginning on the 17th. Go to http://www.transformers-legends.com for more info.

Kind of looks like a Mad King Grimlock event, where Grimlock takes over and rules with an iron fist. Not a bad idea.

I need that King Grimlock card

Nice!

To be fair, Coller and Bove did this in 2011:

i hadn't seen that one and to be fairer having a king on a throne is quite a standard thing and the more dinobot art the better

True true.

(Waiting for Sabrblade to bring up all previous instances with scanned panels from Marvel comics in which Grimlock has the same pose. I can thing of a couple in IDW, too. )

Grimlock sitting on a throne menacingly? Next thing you know a deception will (partial spoilers below)
DIE BY PIE!

Hail to the king, baby.

If these were print art on oil or lithograph I would buy them and have them framed for the man cave. Awesome.

Anyone know where that sweet fire sword in the nick hardy photo came from? I wanna get my claws on one.

Me--- drools over pictures . Game of thrones anyone

You brought it up, you may have the honor.

It's Animated Grimlock's sword, which can only be held by Animated Grimlock.

Our friends at DeNA have announced the latest chapter in the Transformers: Legends mobile device game, "Fire on the Mountain". You can download the app by clicking here. See the episode description and promo art below:

Autobots Gears, Cliffjumper and Silverstreak are headed to South America where the DECEPTICONS have unearthed the legendary “Crystal of Power”. It’s up to you to stop Starscream and Reflector from using it to build a devastating super weapon in “TRANSFORMERS: Legends – FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN"! http://moba.ge/TRANSFORMERSLegends

Interesting I didn't know how accurate were this legends/legion/cyberverse G1 toys based on IDW work, I must have that Jetfire in my collection

That Cliffjumper uses the Classics toy body minus the silver flames, a instead of a rubsign, and with a more Cliffjumper-y head:



And Jetfire uses the body of his upcoming Generations Leader class figure.

Starscream, however, seems to just be using his cartoon animation model.

Our friends at DeNA have announced the latest chapter in the Transformers: Legends mobile device game, "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court". You can download the app by clicking here. See the episode description and promo art below:

Having retreated to a cave in search of an energy boost, the Autobots and Decepticons find that they’ve been transported back in time to the 6th
century. With both sides reduced to medieval warfare, who will win the day? Find out on TRANSFORMERS: Legends – “A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court”

It'd be awesome if The Man Of Iron was an ultra-rare card for this campaign.

Though blue/purple Rumble was involved in the episode version of this event, it's red/black Rumble who's involved here this time.

I like that they're going for one of those obscure, but decent episodes. I don't mind if they continue, but as long as they don't do that horrible episode with the weird rhyming/singing alien people, I'll be fine.

Carnage in C Minor? If properly animated is kinda cool.............for it's time lol!

Great episode actually. Though RIBFIR.

Will this include the Knights who say 'Ni'? [Monty Python]

Sings:

In days of old
When knights were bold
And toilets weren't invented
You did your load
In the middle of the road
And walked off quite contented

Here's the rest of the scene where Starscream kidnaps Nimue:

Here's an update for those of you into the Transformers Legends mobile game, courtesy of Mobage's official Facebook page. A new event, including the usual exclusive art launched today: get ready for Autobot X! Check out more details below, and the mirrored image.

Spike was seriously hurt in a Decepticon assault, so his Autobot pals set his mind in the body of Autobot X to save his life. Alas, the Decepticons quickly turned the cyborg against his former friends. Will the Autobots rescue Spike before the cyborg destroys them first? Find out today in TRANSFORMERS: Legends – “AUTOBOT X”!

MAKE EM HURT BAD!

Well, making this particular event more enjoyable than watching the source material was probably a slam dunk.

Also appropriate that they waited until after TF Hero Mashers had been out for a few months. Making X topical now might just move a few sets.

Courtesy of the Mobage Facebook page, we get a look at the art for the newly announced episode of Transformers: Legends - and it looks like the seeds of the future lie buried in the past, as Beast Machines takes over the mobile device game! Check out some artwork below too.

The beastly MAXIMALS have returned to Cybertron, but MEGATRON and his VEHICON forces have taken over. A new war for Cybertron has begun! Can the MAXIMALS restore peace to their home? Find out on TRANSFORMERS: Legends – “BEAST MACHINES”!

Oh cool, a Power Lords crossover! Makes as much sense as some of their other events. Maybe they'll meet some Buddy L robots next!

There, see? I said something nice about Beast Machines.

Hpoefully some of the toy-only guys get an cool artwork card too.

worst tf show ever.

I always thought Beast Machine was an alright show for a story perspective, the part that always tuned me off was the shows Aesthetics perspective.

The biggest thing I have against the show is the extremely out of character depiction of Rhinox.

Rattrap and Megatron got slapped pretty hard with that too, most notably in 'The Weak Component.'

But in Rhinox's case, I suspect that was out of desire to rekindle the same vibe from Beast Wars about internal politics and infighting on the bad guys' side, and Rhinox was the only one who was intellectually equal to Megatron, and thus could serve the same role Tarantulas and Blackarachnia had before. They just had to turn him into a ranting megalomaniac to get there...

The show definitely got better as it went on, but it was hard to overcome the initial bad taste its early episodes left...

True dat, but I'm surprised so few fans mention Blackarachnia in that list, because she seriously got gutted as bad as anyone else. She went from being arguably the most complex character in Beast Wars to a collection of token-female-good-guy-in-a-boys'-action-cartoon tropes. Her weapons are downgraded to 'entanglement-projectiles', her personal motivation for most of the show is recovering her lost love interest...oh, and that telekinesis she was developing in her TM2 body? Surprise surprise, that's translated into a poorly-defined woman's-intuition power that's so hard to control, she appears to be suffering from migraines, hysteria, and fainting spells! Which can work, IF we're talking Cheetara, Reiko on Galaxy Rangers, or that cat on Bucky O' Hare, but that's NOT who Blackarachnia was. It especially stunk for techie duties to be transferred from her to Rattrap (apparently little guys need that, as they're totally incapable of badassery ), since she was the only tech-minded character in Beast Wars whose skill gradually improved with experience throughout the series...so functioning as Klingon eye-candy with a tough, no-nonsense attitude was the natural end result of her character development. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF!!!

As for this event, however, since Legends "continuity" is just an intentionally convoluted joke, the absolute worst aspect of Beast Machines, how its retcons interacted with the Sunbow cartoon in order for its inappropriate story to function, is pretty much negated, so this might actually be a little fun.

Honestly, Beast Machines is the most highbrow and most tightly-written series we've ever gotten. From start to finish, it feels like the writers knew exactly what they were doing going into it with very little of anything feeling like it was forced in at the 11th hour (there are traces of such things in there, but it's exceedingly minor). It took its audience seriously and engaged us on an intellectual and philosophical level (You know, for kids! ), asking and exploring big questions and high-minded concepts that no other series (let alone other kids cartoons of the time) were willing to ask and explore. It dug deep into the soil of the lore to plant the seeds of its own mythos to add to all that came before. It took risks and pushed itself to show just how far it could go with its potential, revolutionizing the brand's mythology and forever changing it for years to come.

Yet at the same time, Beast Machines greatly ignored the characterization of some of the most beloved characters from the Beast Wars series, if not of all Transformers characters. I think had they paid more attention to how these characters were portrayed in Beast Wars, that Beast Machines wouldn't feel like such a disconnect from its predecessor.

That, and that's a downer of a series with everyone bitching and complaining and moaning and groaning. I like Beast Machines but it has a ton of flaws ... whereas with Beast Wars, my biggest complaint is the lack of shadows which irks me greatly while watching it.
