In Hand Images of Transformers Legacy Iguanus

I guess if you're a fan this would be a dream come true. But to my eye, this core Iguanus looks... pass worthy.

The vehicle is completely daff, but the bot looks bad-ass.
I wonder if the core figure would fit in the G1 pretender shell?

Pretenception

Why am I kidding myself, I know I'm gonna get them just for the sword pieces. And to support the creation of Finback and Bugly.

Iguanus.

Always felt like there was something not very Transformer-y about that name (though it fits the Beast Wars naming scheme well). He had the working name of Snakeskin which works on a few levels being a Pretender. Then again he had a wave mate named Bugly so maybe they were taking a break from cool names for a little while.

According to his bio on TFWiki he really loves his Pretender shell and started taking a huge interest in lizards after becoming a pretender. You could think of this as a post-Pretender version of the character that loved his shell so much he modified his own body to look more like it.

Is it just me or does Iguanus look bigger than normal?

Now that should be interesting to see

I' not thrilled he's leaking it, but it'll be interesting to see all the parts and such. Hopefully he actually figures out how to transform Blitzwing instead of finding a way to screw it up and result in hundreds of people complaining about how "Hasblo screwed up"

Isn't saying the arms are fixed in place because you have to move little panels out of the way to move them the same as saying a lot of figures have fixed legs because you have to move a skirt panel and still can't quite get them to sit? Seems like a weird complaint. Sure he can't pick his arms up over his head, but they aren't fixed.

He admitted it was a nitpick.

Only “downside” (and even this is nitpicking) is that the shoulders are fixed in place (like G2 laserprime) so you need to flap panels up to make the arms move forward & backwards which can be annoying when posing

Yesssss!. Can't wait for Blitzwing!.

I'm in sore need of a replacement since my T-30 version has started falling apart.

The Rubber parts seem to be drying out and breaking off. The Entire head fell off. I think it was a bad idea to leave him in Jet mode for so long.

Ah, the bane of soft rubber plastic. The only reason I'm even considering replacing my Car Robots Optimus Prime, because aside from the wheels the toy is great (also I lost that little pistol of his and a bunch of missiles, so...).

On another note, not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but apparently the QR codes for the first wave are now active, and they show short bios with limited animation (TFW2005 has links for most except Hot Rod). Most of them are kinda fine, but Iguanus:

Bio: Iguanus is obsessed with his scaly outer shell and believes he has a special relationship with Earth reptiles.

Way to rub salt in the wound for those who wanted a modernized Pretender shell, Hasbro!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Energon Hands? The damn hands that are supposed to hold the weapons are clear plastic? WTH Hasbro

Given the exact quote is "2 massive energon hands" (emphasis added), I don't think they're the figure's actual hands, but his Energon Weapon for the line-wide gimmick: basically a pair of Energon Hulk hands, like people like to do for CW Rook and his combiner hand.

Or I could be wrong and he's referring to the figure's actual massive hands.
