With this being Transformers Tuesday, Hasbro chose to unveil two upcoming figures from the Legacy line. Both are core class figures Iguanus and Skywarp. Iguanus goes from reptiliam monster (homaging the G1 pretender shell) to a motorbike (homaging the alt mode of the G1 inner robot). His smaller core class size might be to homage the smaller inner G1 bot, though the class size seems rather arbitrary as this design could have translated to any standard size (be it deluxe or voyager). Skywarp is a redeco of Starscream of course, but he comes with a new accessory. These two along with a repack of Hot Rod, who has yet to be released everywhere, round out the first wave of Legacy's core class. Below are the images along with images of G1 Iguanus for comparison.

There’s clearly… more than meets the eye to these accessories.

Wow. I really appreciate the comparison with the original Iguanas. As someone who never purchased any pretenders, I have to say the modern update to Iguanas looks amazing, and is surprisingly faithful to the original. Fans of this character appear to be in for a real treat.

I'm sure some people will be disappointed that Skywarp ditches the traditional "null rays" for the Legacy gimmick weapon.

Is the Hotrod Core Class re-release wave 1 also, or is he coming later? Since Hot Rod (and Blaster for that matter), already have their Legacy gimmicks in Kingdom, there doesn't appear to be any need to change them.

I wonder if Leader Class Glavatron's accessories will change at all to have a Legacy Gimmick weapon ? :-?

I was disappointed when the word was that Iguanus was not the Beast Wars character, but this one looks pretty good, actually, so I may get it anyway :roll:

Can minicons plug onto Galvatrons spaceship guns? If so that might be his gimmick a bit like Bulkhead -not that there has been any hints of minicons yet.

Ignuanus looks great. Not to mention he continues the trend set by Thunderwing and Bludgeon by incorporating the original's shell appearance into his robot mode.

Iguanus' robot mode looks amazing, if his shoulders were painted black it would be perfect. On the other side of the pendulum, his alt mode is atrocious, but at least it's no worse than the original's. Maybe the weird proportions will make it easier for other core classes to ride his bike mode?

Odd that Skywarp doesn't come with null rays. I feel like these core weapons are meant to form hilts for bigger energon weapons.

I just had a possibly weird idea, but what if we got Sari from Animated reimagined as a Pretender like this Iguanus? So she'd look like her upgraded form in bot mode and maybe give her a scooter alt mode to reference her jetpack. She'd be a bit too big for proper Animated scale, but if they made her a full Cybertronian like they have with Minerva, I don't see any issue with it.

That, or make her a Brainmaster with the brain figure taking cues from her design and the faceplate being her armored face, and then she plugs into the robot body. Plus, you could repaint this version into an "Apex Armor" figure and use the brainmaster as Miko for Selects. The major advantage I think to making Sari a Brainmaster-styled figure would be that we'd get a smaller section that'd be good for referencing how small she was and make the armor seem a lot more important. That and it'd add to playability of the future Brainmasters (that I seriously hope are coming to compliment Victory Saber and the rumored Deathsaurus)

I don't know why they don't make a voyager-sized pretender shell, with movable arms and legs, with a back that opens that can hold a folded-up core class figure. I would buy one of those in a heartbeat.

Alright, Iguanus finally! That is a guaranteed buy for me, I love the lizardman bot mode and the alt mode gives me very RiD15 Fracture vibes. PLEASE do Octopunch like this.

I wouldn't bet on it. The originals have very similar transformations and designs, with their size being the main difference. I think the most likely form for Ransack is a straight redeco of Kickback in Generations Selects.

...except Ransack is rumored as part of a Target boxset, not Selects, which means he could have as much retooling as Fangry-from-Grotusque, hence the speculation.

I mean, the stock images for the repack didn't show any new accessories, but technically Galvatron already comes with a large clear plastic accessory anyway via his cannon, so....

Skywarp looks well enough, but that's to be expected since they used the Starscream mold. Wonder if they'll do the coneheads...?

As for Iguanacus, I never had any G1 attachment to this one, so I can't say that it pulls my interest. It looks better than the G1 figure, but all the old pretenders had a kind of childish look to them. Maybe it was because the shells had only those 2 articulation points.

Loving Iguanus' bot mode, although still sad we don't get a true Pretender comeback. As someone else said, core class inner robot that hides in the chest of a bigger robot is all we need. They can be sold separately and everything.

Does anyone know the name of the box designer and or the artist? Because they're turning out great.

Damn that Skywarp looks nice. Guess I'll add him to my ever growing Skywarp collection. Core, Classics and ER should look nice together.

Ohh, and Iguanus is fantastic. Wasn't planning on getting him, but giving him his Pretender shell as his robot mode, and his inner robot's alt mode is a genius move. The bike also looks really cool.

Also just noticed that Skywarp's weapon is actually Core Hot Rod's sword hilt as pictured in his box art:

Which means the gimmick of the core class will apparently be combing weapons into other larger weapons.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I admit I've been guilty on rare occasions of not reading articles all the way to the end, but I could swear when I first read it it went like this:

"These two round out the first wave of Legacy's core class."

Missing details in the middle is not something I am known for. Still, (not saying this is the case), I'm sure articles occasionally need to be edited, and without showing a later edit date, there's no way to know.

Iguanus' gun is in there too in-between the Hot Rod blade and the Skywarp hilt, whoever did this art just colored it all to match Hot Rod.

Also taking another look at Iguanus, the image of his bike mode is definitely slightly mistransformed, since we can see the hole in the tail that it looks like those tabs on his outer legs are supposed to go into, so it may have a more cohesive look when everything is tabbed in right.

Which is why as much as I like the look of this new Iguanus, it saddens me that it looks like we won't be getting articulated Pretender shells.

And I can't see them selling them separately. Pretender shells that don't transform? That's not going to go well on shelves. If they do do it though, it'll be just our luck they're Selects and over priced to screw over the Pretender fans.

would be overkill if Iguanus could some how become a chest piece for potp abominus like groove/defensor. Blu tack to the rescue

Think I prefer G1s alt mode but thats because I'm odd like that -*Iguanus could always steal legacy prime arcees or her eventual repaints weapon for his bot mode as a bonus.

Not at all, I think it would be a fun fan mode if it were possible somehow. I made PotP Cindersaur a backpack for Abominus, so why not?

I was pretty sure we weren't getting proper Pretenders with the shells, so at least Iguanus and any others that might follow could have had better representation. But as it is, it's pretty decent for a core class figure.

Iguanus looks awesome! Definitely want him. Skywarp...oh dear. Even aside from Core Starscream being a bit mediocre (bricky jet mode and body, fake cockpit etc) he doesn't come with his arm guns, in favour of a hilt for someone else's sword. Oof.

I was just thinking of this the other day. I was also thinking similar things for armored Kicker, armored Verity and Apex Armor Miko as well. So you could have Daniel, Spike (assuming he gets his own figure), Sari, Kicker, Verity and Miko all armored up. If it's easy to open up the armors and swap the pilots then you can purchase multiples and change them out for anyone provided someone makes them. Marissa? Carly? Sparkplug? Raul? Chip? Alexis? Fowler? Jack? Raph? Maybe even figures for T-AI, Artemis and even Alice that could also transform into vehicles/animals. Although I don't exactly know how Alice would work if she looked like her human mode.

We're probably just lucky we're getting an exosuit though. It's just a way to keep the core class going longer. Just sprinkle in a few here and there while they do core sized figures for popular characters and the few characters that they'll do that need to be that size.

So it is. So Hot Rod’s full sword requires two other figures to make. That’s a bit odd.

Getting both, though it's annoying that Skywarp doesn't have his guns and we'll probably have to go to eBay for new ones. It's probably wishful thinking, but the upcoming red Cog that's going to be a Target exclusive is listed as an accessory pack like the Centurion Drone so maybe they could come with him?

I do love me some combining weapons, though it's also annoying that two figures are going to have to go weaponless just so a crappy Hot Rod can have a bigger sword handle. Have a feeling that sword is going to an Optimus figure.

While it's a shame that we're still not getting a proper update to the Pretender gimmick and the motorcycle mode is a hot mess, Iguanus does look nice in robot mode at least. I may still get at least a couple of Core Pretenders as the line goes on (do we know whether or not Legacy is lasting longer than a year?), I may get Iguanus, Skullgrin dependng on how it looks, and Bludgeon and some Autobots if they ever get made.

I know I'm old (36) but don't deserve nice things? I remember Car Robots, Unicron Trilogy Thundercracker, Energon Shockwave who wasn't called Shockwave.

In my opinion it's been uphill from Combiner Wars for those who remember gimmick riddled bricks. Sure not every single TF since Combiner Wars is a Siege Sideswipe but a lot are good to great. Asking for obscure non-tv characters to get mainstream big size releases is just silly.

Ontopic, Iguanus looks awesome! I would love to see more TF's that have a humanoid beast mode as robot mode. I like the idea!

Skywarp is Skywarp, haven't gotten Starscream. The Combiner Wars figure is great and has no false cockpit chest.

Can't wait for Motor Master reveal!
I do hope they mix Unicron Trilogy and War for Cybertron (Game) designs in Legacy as well. Especially the game designs deserve modern solid designs.

Fans were very quick to pick up on the strange weapons that come with core class Skywarp and Iguanus. Turns out, these same "weapons" can be seen combined to form a larger sword on the box art of core class Kingdom Hot Rod (which will be repacked in Legacy wave 1 with these other core figures). Below you will see images of each weapon along with the combination in the art. We will see how that extends to other classes when people have the varying classes in hand. Also it is unknown if Hasbro will give instructions for specific combos but the artwork from Hot Rod shows that they definitely have specific combos in mind.
Also, another fun tidbit that fans noticed with yesterday's news was the placement of the wheels in Iguanus' robot mode. It pays homage to how the inner robot looked like, as you will see below.

For me, Iguanus is disappointing, but not unexpected. At least the toy itself looks good, and given his love for his Pretender shell, having it incorporated as the default robot mode is perfectly in-character (at least far more than the others in that style). Still gonna wait for a proper Pretender revival, but I hope the ones that buy him are satisfied.

Given were the wheels are in bot mode, do you think he might be remolded into Laser Cycle Road Rocket/RiD2001 Sideways/G2 Jazz? It would certainly fit the Energon weapon gimmick (then again, the Core class weapons seem to be normal weapons, so...)

Pretty much my thoughts too. I could also add Coby and the Cobybot/Scrapmetal, Animated Headmaster, the Battlesuits from Marvel UK comics, the IDW crash suits and Cybernoughts, Jan and the Illumina II (or the other Victories, for that matter), Cylas and Circuit Breaker with or without her Frankensteined battle suit (oh, right, rights issue :roll:

... Marvel hasn't done anything with her for years, shouldn't it have expired by now?). And if they planned another crossover or intra-company Collaborative, the G.I. Joe mechs from the Devil's Due Press crossover.

I'd like that too, but probably a bit more evened out, like having some beast-looking bots on the Autobot's side as well. Most of the time the non-human designs end up entirely on the Decepticon side (take movies 2007 to TLK and RiD2015, for example), which makes them look more like different species than two factions.

The combining weapons will be interesting. At core class they will have a mix of 3mm and 5mm posts meaning they are clearly intended for some larger bots but can still be used by the core class. The main downside is the individual weapons are kind of meh, but at least I don't care enough about the combined weapons to feel like I have to go all in on core class.

At least, not yet, for the sword from Hot Rod/Skywarp/Iguanus, it just doesn't do much for me. What would really suck (and isn't out of the question) is if they just keep using the same 3 parts over and over again across all the core bots.

I'm not a fan of the combining weapons idea like this especially with a sword. I think it'll just look ridiculous overall.

I think Skywarp should come with the null rays as well. I can't imagine it would have cost hasbro much extra since you'd think they were already in the tooling for Starscream.

Whomever mentioned the Core Class Sari, is brilliant. We're getting Spike, probably get a Daniel, but why not get a Sari too. Sure we're going for G1 characters lately, but out of all the other animated series, Sari was one of the best characters they created, plus she's part cybertronian. It should be a no brainer.

Sure we're going for G1 characters lately, but out of all the other animated series, Sari was one of the best characters they created, plus she's part cybertronian. It should be a no brainer.

Does she have an alt-mode though?

Just as with Iguanus, her alt mode can be more of an homage to past toys/concepts.

For instance, there was an unproduced Sari toy that was based off of Windblade, so you could have a core class Sari that turns into a jet as an homage to that.

Was this a lost FunPub/TFCC idea?

That image is from a Japanese publication, so it could also be a TakaraTomy idea, presumably for Legends before being replaced with Slipstream.

The answer is: Lame.
What is the combing weapon gimmick for Legacy, Alex?

Hahahaha
I feel it's the least intrusive gimmick so far though

The image was contributed to the Japanese book by former Fun Pub members. It was part of a discarded Fun Pub set idea called "Transformers Unanimated". The concept was to take Animated characters/designs and apply them to molds that lacked the Animated aesthetic. Needless to say, the idea was dropped since it was essentially "taking the Animated out of Animated".

Other concepts in this idea were Universe Inferno as Optimus, Thrilling 30 Brainstorm as Headmaster-controlled Starscream, and Thrilling 30 Trailcutter as Sentinel Prime.

Other pics in the same section of the book show concepts from another discarded Fun Pub idea: "Beast Wars Animated". Animated Sentinel Prime as pre-beast Primal Major, Animated Snarl as Rhinox, Animated Grimlock as Predacon Megatron, etc.

Core Iguanus is brilliant like ROTF Bludgeon. A nice interpretation that takes all the good points of the pretender.

But what's up with the "Scorponok" weapons on both Skywarp and Iguanus?

They combine with Hot Rod's sword

These all woulda been amazing to see! Is Sari the only one that made it to digibash phase?
