Upcoming 2025 Wave of Legacy United Rereleases Cosmos and Galaxy Shuttle among Others

Amid all these awesome listings, I just noticed the one that terrifies me the most: Leader class Overcharge.

Who is Overcharge, you ask? Not "who", "what". Overcharge is a redeco of Blitzwing. In very ordinary, non-striking colors. And is a troop-builder, no less, so there might be a lot of them to go around.

With how badly Blitzwing has shelf-warmed thus far, I dread how badly Overcharge is going to do the same.

We just can't escape that mold.

I for one will be treating him as a Diaclone transplant, if I wanted an accurate army of Overcharges I'd sticker up some Blitzwing figures.

I'm curious just how close to the exclusive these PRs will be. We've never really seen Hasbro do this before, but considering Legacy Dirge wasn't 100% like the original I'm guessing we'll see some slight changes here as well.

Meanwhile, still no Bumblebee.

The lack of Bumblebee is getting a bit suspicious. It could just be typical corporate hypercorrection, with them just not wanting to release any extra Bumblebees AT ALL now. They did make sure not to feature him in the comic book, for example. But there's another possibility: that they're not rerealising the Netflix Bumblebee because a new one is in the works. ALthough they're taking their sweet time to rerelease Soundwave too, so maybe it's just them taking a long time and that's it.

Wow, yeah in light of this Armada Wheeljack is very unsurprising.

While Armada Wheeljack isn't a character I would have guessed there would be enough demand for, I hadn't thought about how easy of toy it is to make using Sideswipe molds, so that makes a lot of sense.

Though, sadly, I don't expect the Wheeljack version to come with his Mini-Con since it's just going to be a normal retail release, and none of the normal retail releases of Armada characters in the Legacy line have come with theirs. It took Hot Shot getting a special online exclusive in order for him to get Jolt included.

My Armada wish list right now (in order):
Sideways
Jetfire (hopefully with a Legacy Prime combination)
Blurr
Demolishor
Thrust
A Nemesis Prime repaint
