Great news to fans in the US, the first wave of voyagers from the new Legacy line are out. That includes Bulkhead and another chance at Blaster for those who did not get him yet. The sighting was made at a Target in New York state. The sighting was made by TF fan G1 Wheeljack who posted on the TFW2005 forums.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

I'll also be skipping the hunt for Bulkhead. Not because of price or availability but because I don't like the figure. :-D Bring on wave 2.

I'm more looking forward to the Core class. I want my Iguanus!

Thanks to a Tweet from Twitter user Crankcase79@tfnation2022, We have some brand new in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy Core Class Iguanus! Crankcase79@tfnation2022 purchased this Iguanus figure from InDemand toys, who is known to get some figures in earlier than the rest of the world. Iguanus is a small Core Class update to his original G1 pretender toy, utilizing the new Pretender robot style of fusing the Pretender shell design as the robot mode with the alternate mode of the inner robot. In this case, Iguanus is a scale reptile robot with a motorbike alternate mode.

Iguanus is part of the Legacy Wave 1 assortment, and will see release alongside Skywarp and Hot Rod. These figures are due to be released at retail at any time, so keep a close eye out for them to start hitting shelves soon.

Check out the new images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

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 :shock:

Why am I kidding myself, I know I'm gonna get them just for the sword pieces. #-o 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.

These are my photos! Woohoo!

I've also done a little video review of Iguanus on YouTube if anyone fancies checking it out.

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

High likelihood that Blitzwing is gonna leak soon, evidently PrimevsPrime posted a Coming Soon teaser on one of their social medias with Blitzy's sword and gun.

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"

The image in question and a direct quote from the individual regarding the figure, taken from TFW2005:

PrimeVsPrime wrote:Its easily the best mainline Blitzwing we’ve ever had. Scale is the same as astrotrain. 2 massive energon hands, 1 sword & 2 purple guns. 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

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.

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.

He admitted it was a nitpick.

It's the shoulders, not the arms. It's that the shoulders have been changed from being working shoulders part of the arms into armor kibble now separate from the arms, no longer a part of them, which alters the character's iconic silhouette and restricts arm movement now that big shoulder pads are in way of letting his arms raise up, instead of those shoulder pads being the shoulders themselves.

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! :roll:
