Amazon's IDW based Transformers Legacy subline is going for some really deep cuts. Thanks to JTPrime17, we now have a product code for an upcoming two pack featuring Javelin and Kaskade. Both these characters were first introduced in the new 2019 IDW continuity which is probably why an extremely small number of you reading this news are aware of their existence. These are both female characters and we have images of them below.

This is peak monkey's paw stuff. Wanted more figures of IDW original fembots, Hasbro answers with Ruckleyverse nobodies.

If these girls are just basic repaints of the deluxe Prime Arcee and Legacy Elita-1 molds, it would be an easy pass. But if the retooling is heavy and creative like the previous Legacy IDW 2 packs, it may be worth getting.

:checks emails: I do see that, but someone else did several hours beforehand, thus the new credit went to them. Sorry! I know it can be hard to know when it takes awhile for stuff to go up, but if you're interested in helping us be better at that we pretty much always need new volunteers for news staff. Anyway, the submission is much appreciated regardless, so thank you

Very interesting, so this is the next set to go with the current two? I've got some ideas for molds if they go as heavy with the retools as they have the other sets.

New head, backpack, shoulders, maybe feet too? In the end it comes down to parts layout but I think they could do something convincing with this mold making it unrecognizable from a movie figure (which I think would actually be required and probably would entirely derail this whole idea).

For Kaskade... I'm really trying to resist saying a Shadow Striker repaint, but I'm sure that's where they're headed. Surprise me, Hasbro.

I think Velocitron IDW Blurr is the more intuitive starting point for Javelin. I also would like anything other than a Side Burn Kaskade, but with such a deep fembot cut, I'm not going to complain in any event.

Javelin is actually a design by Alex Milne from MTMTE.

Then why don't we see her until 2019?

She was in MTMTE 41 and Unicron 1.

My bad, this is correct. I forgot because she did basically nothing and was in like 3 issues.

Still, this should've been Velocity.

Not going to pretend that I liked that universe, but I did like Javelin. Despite being a minor character she managed to have more personally then most of the main characters in the book and I would be happy to get a toy of her.

Not my cup of tea. Though it will be interesting to see what the reuse will be for them.

Meanwhile, Stormbringer Thunderwing and Tidal Whale (Two of IDW's best redesigns) lay [officially] forgotten. Alongside even updates of neglected/forgotten G1 figures like Blue Bacchus and/or the Firecons (original moulds, not retools). I know in contrast to HasTak, I have an eye for completing sets. But at least some attention should be paid to reinventions of popular characters before barrel-scraping redecos.

Aww man... that alt mode screams Velocitron Blurr to me. Do we need another another Blurr?

So...they went with these nobodies over the likes of Stalker, Skyquake and the rest of the Predators.

Cool...

My nobodies have been around longer than these nobodies!

Not cool...

I could see those being a future exclusive capsule, maybe for Amazon, since we basically have analogs for each of those characters out or coming, all the way down to how Needlenose connects to Skyquake.

I am not going to say no to these new comic bots, but the lack of Velocity is truly disappointing. Kaskade is especially random.

Exactly this. As per my example earlier:

Black/Sky Shadow has had three figures since his debut (1989, 2011, 2017)
Blue Bacchus has had one (1989)

This is ridiculous, considering within fiction they are a pair/team:
