In Hand and In Package Images of Takara Transformers Legends Seaspray, Twin Twist & Topspin

I already have the Jumpstarters from Hasbro, because i didn't care for them being Targetmasters. I pre-ordered Seaspray, but i think i was wrong there too. I do not understand why the windshield is not painted, it looks bad.

Anybody got instructions for that combined mode?

I believe that Topspin, Twintwist, and Seaspray with Lione are the last of the mainline releases for the LG line, correct? Would they pack the final Legends stories with LG-EX Greatshot and Brave Maximus?

Maybe, maybe not. We were told Legends would continue as exclusives which seemed to imply there would be more coming than just those two. More convention exclusives don't seem out of the question either.

in this case, i like hasbro better. the almost non-existent, albeit painted, windshield turns me off compared to hasbro's distinct black windshield.

Legends is still a line that predates the unification, much like Movie the Best.
Lines going forward from here, such as Studio Series and Power of the Primes, no longer have differences.

Thanks to site sponsor RobotKingdom and their official Facebook page, we have some new images of Takara Tomy Transformers exclusives figures from the Legends line - specifically, the two big bots under the name of LG-EX Grand Maximus and LG-EX Greatshot, or rather, their packaging!

The former is a redeco of the Generations Fortress Maximus Titan class figure from the Legends line, and an homage to the character in Japanese animated series Super God Masterforce, in which he is the younger brother of Fort Max and a Transtector, which Grand takes charge of.

The latter is a redeco and retool of the Leader class Sixshot figure from the Titans Return line, sporting a new rhino head for one of the alternate modes, and chest wings accurate to the Victory animated series the character showed up in. Check them both out below, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

No Pretender shell ? I'll pass.

If it wasn’t for the baffling shipping costs in robot kingdom I would’ve bought Greatshot on day one.

I used to be able to stomach it on large orders but something's not right about it lately. Seems like it gets based on the cost of the item and not the actual size or weight. That's not how that works!

They were going to give one with Grand Maximus if preorders hit the 2000 mark in a specific time. They didn’t, so now Grand Max will be shipped without one

It also seemed like that time limit was like a day after (like I think literally the day after) they hit the "to make mark" on Grand. With the way it went down, it felt like it was more a con job then anything else with getting the pretender shell.

Not that I'm one of those people that always has to correct everybody but the 2000 preorder mark was to make Grand and there was a goal of 3000 that had to be reached for the pretender shell to be included. It only hit the first goal, so at least it got produced.

I'm sure your not... -.-

Sort of like the last person to say they didn't like to correct people then said they were going to PM me the "correct" information, only to never send the PM, probably because when they went to find the information they noticed I was correct. But I digress...

According to the original announcement, as I recall, the 2000 mark was for Grand, and had a set date, then yes you needed 3000 to get the pretender shell which was an extended date. The scam part here was that their extended date was a day later. In fact, if I am recalling correctly, they called it even before the initial date hit, and they basically ended it as soon as they hit the 2000 mark giving once more the appearance that the pretender shell was just a scam to get the initial run orders.
