Video Review for Transformers Legacy Core Class Shockwave

There are 3 fully new releases in the Transformers Legacy's leader class this year: Laser Prime, Blitzwing and Transmetal 2 Dragon Megatron (the only one we have not seen yet). Now, we have news, from JTPrime17, that all those toys will get rereleased in the Legacy line in 2023 along with leader class Armada Megatron and Prime Skyquake.

The good news is that if ever any leader class toys has been hard to find or if TM2 Megatron turns out to be hard to find, then there will be another chance to get them in 2023.

Here are those listings:

Tra Gen Legacy Ev LDR Blitzwing Pr
Product Number: F7230
EAN: 5010994207571

They don't make Leaders that big anymore so I wouldn't worry about that. He'll be a tall Voyager with add on parts (based on Tidal Wave?) or be bulked out like Galvatron (big ol' shoulder treads). He has two easy built in repaints (Galvatron and Megazarak) so he doesn't really need to share anything with anyone else, though I do wonder how people feel about him being used to make an interpretation of IDW Fort Max?

It also occurs to me that Legacy Leader-1 and Drill Bit could share tooling if they choose to make them, might improve their chances of being made.

...except Armada Megatron and Prime Skyquake from barely 2 days ago.

Oh my god, the Fort Max I would actually buy? You're a genius.

Lol, gotta go fix that

I saw a Dragstrip on the pegs yesterday and I said to myself....I said self what if puts out a impressive box set....? Who's to say this WON'T come to pass....?

So I've waited this long for a good representation of the Stunticons post Combiner Wars I can wait some more....'nuff said!

Considering that Motormaster is commander class, I doubt there will be a box set of the Stunticons.

For those who have Siege Soundwave, would it be worth getting the Legacy version? I have the Netflix version, but unfortunately many of the grey parts have started turning yellow. I'll probably never be able to get another Netflix Soundwave, so I don't know if I should:
A) have a go at restoring the one I have by painting over the yellowing parts.
B) swap it out for Legacy Soundwave (has yellwoing plastic ever been reported on the Siege version to anyone's knowledge?)
C) wait to see if the Netflix version becomes available again one day, that new Buzzworthy Bumblebee set with the Volkswageb Beetle mould for Goldbug has renewed my hope for this, as it means Wal-Mart have lost exclusivity for at least one retool and could also lose Soundwave soon.
or D) hang fire and wait to see if Hasbro brings out a new Soundwave without the Netflix version's problems.

SS69 tell that you're wrong on that one.

It's a 50/50 shot, but with it's potentially high price the venue and production number will be very limited, I can assure you.

Oh, no doubts. SS69 was available only at select online stores so a Legacy Stunticons set would be the same for sure.

The moment I read "high price" this came to mind.....





and this old boy was not cheap. I wonder what the numbers sold were retail?

Anyway my waiting begins and thanks for that reminder Kanrabat!

Speaking of VERY high price...


(CLICK HERE for the rest of the gallery!)

I paid an arm and a leg for this but I'm sure the original price was pretty costly even at the time it originally came out.

I canceled my order when the reports of problems came out.

As long as they do right by him and not make him something like a green G1 Megatron with just a new head and new shoulder kibble.

Great review. Not feeling him at all. I have no attachment to him as a character. Though I do wonder who they are going to retool him into exactly?

Also, for those in the know is not pronounced Gee-axus. or Jai-axus?
