I think I like this remold more than the original use of the mold.
Day 880 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Oh yes, this is the news I have been WAITING for. I really hope they do all the "Deluxe Insecticons". I'd love to have all of 'em with the normal Insecticons.

Nice, a bit lazy that they didnt give him his own mold but should look great as a deluxe inecticon next to the legends class ones. Def skipping Legacy Kickback.
Shame scorponok in the set isnt g1 toy colors.

I'll throw them a bone with the fact that they gave the original mold an abdomen functionality, showing that it was designed from the start to be for this character too

Ransack looks great! Can't wait to not find it at Target and have to camp Target.com in hopes that I can beat the bots!

Hm. Kickback wasn't very good. But somehow, the mold looks better in those colors...

Ransack looks pretty solid, this 4-pack is shaping up nicely.
The figure the article forgot is Parasite, there's pics of him and Toy Colors Scorponok back on page 33 of the thread.sol magnus wrote:Who's the fourth?

Glad that they are doing this. I passed on Kickback largely for scale but I am very excited to pick up this guy

I havent looked yet - Is that the Waruder Parasite? Indeed it is. Probably wanted to 'army build that, but it's not going to happen now...

This is perfect! If I had enough room for insecticons in my collection/budget, I'd get this! I saw this potential long ago, even before the Legacy Kickback. YES! I feel almost like I did when Motormaster Elita and Tarantulas were revealed!

I never thought Goldbug was VW Beetle, to begin with, guess I was wrong. I find it funny that the Legacy version of Ransack, a Bandai toy, is being made from a retool of a figure that was initially a Takara toy.

That one person who would always go on and on about Deluxe Insecticons always being ignored, I hope he's happy
I am curious to see Goldbug however to complete this set. Probably just the SG version with the same paint used on Selects Black Zarak ( a not-true gold), but at least dosen't have GPS.
I don't think you're wrong about Goldbug. Anyone expecting the Netflix mold should get ready for disappointment.

Why is Ransack on Elita in that one photo though?

Wow so much Legacy Kickback hatred around here. They went and gave us a literal spot on updated G1 version that many called for (transformation is IDENTICAL to the original and the cartoon with full articulation). Is it the size? go back and look at both the cartoon and Marvel comic and see how big they actually were. There is seriously no pleasing some of you at all is there? Maybe one day Hasbro will say F-you to the older collector base and focus on just the little kiddie versions of the toys, then the haters will be going waa waa I want my accurate transformers back. Just be freaking glad they are even making an attempt to make toys that are as close to their G1 counterparts as possible.

I don't get it either, but they say his 'transformation is uninspired' - it's the same transformation as back in the day, but with articulation. There's no accounting for taste.

Yet those of us that actually got kickback when he was originally released were excited and bought them with zero complaints.

I have CW Bombshell, TR Kickback and PotP Skrapnel and not planning on grabbing the Legacy ones. However, I will be on the lookout for Ransack and any other Deluxe Insecticon they'll release.

I haven't seen much hate for Kickback, though I've seen a lot of complaints. I think it's a combination of people liking the Prime Wars Insecticons and wishing the Legacy lineup had more franchise diversity, which I get. I'm glad the redeco means more people get to pick up the mold. I expect we'll see Chop Shop from Shrapnel again, and the others further down the line, so everyone can get new Legacy Insecticon toys one way or another.

I don't have hate for Legacy Kickback, I just really like the Prime Wars set and will be sticking with those. If I didn't have them, I would definitely get the new Kickback, even if I don't like the translucent parts.
