Me too, and while leobreaker was a let down, Megatron was interesting enough, and that whetted my apetite for the buggers, Legends Red Alert is awesomesauce, but the 25th Universe legends are the standouts, Hound, and Brawn in particular.Quote:

I do wish they'd redo some of the cassettes in Legends form though (though recent reissues and obsolete alt modes make that pretty unlikely). Reflector would be another good one, as would some Insecticons.
I don't think tapes are that obsolete. The bootleg G1 cassettes most corner stores in the UK sell (brightly coloured and the size of a proper cassette) are quite popular with the kids I look after. The novelty of a cassette that turns into something is as appealing to them as it was to us when we were 6.
And I've yet to meet any kid over the age of 4 who doesn't know what a cassette is. All Hasbro's herp-derp about nobody knowing what they are is nonsense.
it got me thinking about how a modern and updated Soundwave should look, the only thing that came remotely close was a Mini-disc player that died out like 8 years ago, with the mini-disc as his minions
Music Label Soundwave? Although admittedly he's an MP3 player that looks like a small cassette walkman... I suppose the closest would be Booster X10.
New movie legend prime is the ultimate mini-prime.... so perfect
Don't like Legends. Will skip them for the movie line "no matter the cost" :D
I bought the Minibots while very good for their size I much prefer scout size above. The Legends ultimately is a compromise offering from Hasbro. I generally will only get it if its G1 related or I'm mad keen on the character. Otherwise, I'll opt for the larger size class anyday of the week
I <3 Legends. This is mainly due to the Universe ones.
I think it's because they are mainly going off G1 now, and those designs weren't as complicated as the ones that have been scaled down for Legends in recent years.
