Video Review of Transformers Legacy United Gears

Posted by william-james88 Feb 4, 2024 at 8:07pm CST 50,909 views
The second wave of Legacy United has hit US ports and is ready for distribution across the globe, so we are seeing more and more of its contents. Like this new review for Gears. It highlights some parts which we couldn't see from the initial images. You get a good look at his backpack, which is pretty massive for a minibot. But the main issue fans are not happy with is the view of the truck mode from the back since that's where the robot mode chest ends up. We do see a fun east egg though with an M on the back of his robot mode head, homaging the G1 toy.

Let us know what you think!

Also, as we have seen with previous waves, Hasbro has been lowering production numbers on these toys, and brick and mortar distribution is unreliable. There is a chance this could end up like Beachcomber so if you think you might want this Gears, it is ill advised to wait to see it on a shelf or wait for a discount.

Watch video

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

THATS THE THING ABOUT THE GEAR WARS. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE GEARS.

Sadly, it looks like those high-riding tires are part of the overall engineering. That's the only thing I find objectionable. Each tire is sticking out so far from the wheel wells that it looks like they're ready to fall off. And the tires had a pronounced wobbling in that video, which I attribute to how precariously each one is perched on those hinges. Seriously - they couldn't think of ANY way to make them a bit more snug?

Fans are eager for the reveals of the second wave of Legacy United, especially when these toys could show up any day now. It may not have been realized by all yet, but we've already seen 4 of the 7 new figures this wave has to offer.

Since deluxe Sureshot and core Dinobot are said to no longer be part of this wave, that leaves the following:

Core BM Cheetor
Deluxe G1 Gears
Deluxe Cyberverse Chromia
Deluxe Shard
Voyager BW Silverbolt
Voyager Cybertron Starscream
Leader G1 Sandstorm

And below are the 4 we have already seen. This is basically to show that we already have a good idea of what is to come and set up your expectations for when the reveals do happen.

I think the only thing I want from this wave is Cheetor.

As long sit looks more like Titanium (never though I'd want a titanium design again) than Supreme, it should be fine.

Also, Nightslash would work for him too.

Ya think wave 2 might just drop without pre-orders? At least part of it?

I feel the same way about emgo. But with him it's his arrogant, condescending tone.

Yeah he grates my nerves as well, these guys put too much inflection in their voices that just plain makes them sound stupid. Just put a video up about the fig, its size, transformation and that's it.

THAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!

Anyway I didn't dig the images of Gears at first but after watching a review I believe I can add him to my Neo G1 collection. And far as Miss Chromia goes she will replace my Takara LG-11....'nuff said! :VEHI:

Against my better judgment, I watched it. Transformation is very good, I don't mind where the chest ends up since I think the original vehicle had a trunk like that, minus the Autobot symbol. What does bother me is the lack of weapon storage.

Why is Hasbro hesitant on making announcements for Wave 2? We got Magnaboss, Tidal Wave, and HasLab Omega Prime, but nothing for this or the second 2024 Studio Series wave.

Maybe there's a distribution issue and we're not getting the figures.
