Another of the new Movie legends toys has been found in packaging on an asian forum.
Knock Out is the motorcycle Autobot, which has a bit of a movie spoiler in the bio - referring to the 'Combination Retrofit' that may be a central/climactic plot device for TF2.

Looks cool. Hard to tell it's a Legends size figure.

It's actually Scout Class. The third or fourth picture shows it on the bottom. It's deceptive tho cos its packed like a Legend but actually bigger. I think Hasbro is doing this to get around the problem of last time where they had heaps of parents buying stuff that they didn't realise didn't transform.

The confusion last time was because they (robot replicas) were in robot mode. If packaged in vehicle mode, the parents would at least know it transforms, and can see the 'better' of two modes on the shelf before buying it.
If Hasbro package more toys in robot mode this time, the parents who were burnt last time will just avoid them in favour of the ones in vehicle mode (to be on the safe side).
If these are scout-sized, it will make them a bit more playable (less fiddley) as Scouts are at least 50% larger toys than Legends-class.

*Mental note to self* Only stick to buying characters that appear in the 2nd movie and NOT every single toy that comes out like in the 1st movie. :D

That's ok Mel, all the other toys that arn't in the film will just be repaints of the ones you already have.
