The Random Transformers Thoughts Thread

[DELTAprime]

I just got my Legacy United Gears from Amazon. He's probably the most intuitive transformation I've seen come from a new mould in a while. I know some people consider it sacrilege, but as long as it doesn't result in a bad looking Bot or Alt mode I do like a simple intuitive transformation over the complex transformations that seemed to become a thing after the success of the 2007 Bayverse line.

Calling it now... that Buzzsaw from Legacy United Leader Soundwave is SO getting ripped from packaging. From in-box photos, Buzzsaw is sitting at the top left of the box - immediately accessible to a hand passing through the open window.

Don't tempt me. That's the only thing I want from the whole product, and I doubt I'm the only one.

Yep. So freaking disappointing to see Buzzsaw is in this pack instead of something like a SS86 release in a vs pack with Rewind.

And it has occurred to me that Buzzsaw might not get any sort of SS86 release the way Frenzy & Rumble have, because he didn't make an appearance of any sort in the movie.

Sure, Studio Series has moved the goalposts a couple of times, but given how Buzzsaw, whom we all expected to get a new toy of back in Siege (5 years ago now) is only now getting that toy, I suspect that if that happened (SS widened further to include the cartoon in general) then it would still be 5 years on from now...

I'm hoping that Ravage and Laserbeak get new SS86 toys, like Rumble and Frenzy have to replace the Siege toys after this use.

If they do maybe a Buzzsaw repaint in the Generations Line might pop up sooner.

With the news core class is being cancelled it got me thinking about what we got from it, it definitely gave us some great little toys, probably not a single bad one but i can probably list the one's i physically saw in stores on one hand and it just makes me think retail killed this size class, and with no 'smaller' sizes classes and deluxes now being $40+ i really feel bad for the kids who want to save up for a toy, i remember being so excited when i saved up to buy my first toy (Cybertron Metroplex, lots of chores and birthday money, i was probably 5 maybe 6?) and it is a memory i still remember and when i worked retail i remember kids being so excited counting their coins to buy a toy, $40 is a lot of money as a kid (hell for a toy now as an adult it's getting a bit much which is why i've slowed down buying at retail)

Anyway all this to say i hope hasbro introduces some form of smaller size class for kids, not just cheap authentics and gimmicky crap that ends up in land fill. Wheres the toys for 6-10 year olds that are an afforable puzzle. I guess i now sound like one of those fans who goes 'back in my day' but in this case maybe it's justfied, bring back scout class, the entry point to most lines shouldn't be $40.
