Update from Hasbro Pulse - the release dates for wave 1 is a lot later than I was expecting.
In recent years the Generations series were January to December, but these ones have release dates of May (Voyager) and July (Deluxe & Leader).

I wonder if the series was pushed back 6 months due to the factories and transportation (ships) is significantly behind schedule because of covid. The two main lines (Studio Series and Generations) have had some delays around the middle of this year but was catching up a bit (wave 4 of Kingdom is still looking to be delayed, with two of the Deluxe toys pushed back).... but since we've seen Cyberverse and Rescue Bots toys significantly delayed, and wave 6 of BotBots never got released, maybe they are pushing back the start of Legacy to help them catch up again.

I would also imagine that there will be at least one more Voyager and Leader toy for wave 1, as it doesn't feel right to just have a single item for a launch of a new line. And we didn't see any of the Core Class as well... so the reveal today by Hasbro is really only some of wave 1, not all of it.

And we didn't see any of the Core Class as well... so the reveal today by Hasbro is really only some of wave 1, not all of it.

The leak from a few weeks ago had Blaster being the other voyager, and only one leader. And the art shown over on TFW2005 for the reveal does feature Blaster - cartoon head, not toy. In fact all three core class toys from the first wave (according to that leak) are on the art as well - Hot Rod, Iguanus, and Skywarp. The only character on the art not listed as getting a toy in the first wave is Megatron.

The thing I'm curious about is the line name. The three-year toyline was called War For Cybertron, and each year had their own names, Siege, Earthrise, and Kingdom. The rumour was that this new multi-year toyline is called Legacy, with the first year called Evolution. But I've seen nothing recently about the name Evolution, and it isn't on those boxes.

I also see the return of "more than meets the eye" to the packaging, which has not been seen in recent years (unless I've just been completely oblivious to it ).

Supposedly Kingdom Galvatron is the leader case mate to OP, which isn't surprising as we've seen previous releases released over separate lines

Looks like Commander Motormaster is going to be basically the whole combiner, with the deluxe stunticons sitting pretty much just on top like the cartoon. If it means a more stable combined mode, I’m here for it. CW Menasor is the only combiner that really needs a replacement tbh, so I’d be fine if they just did him.

[DELTAprime]

The more I think about the Legacy series boxes, the more I hate them. A box with all right angles is much better when stacking a shelf. Also, any wasted space in the shipping box is just that, wasted space. You are paying to transport air at that point.

Also, any wasted space in the shipping box is just that, wasted space. You are paying to transport air at that point.

Any seller worth their salt is going to allow room for the toy to be protected in the event of the shipping box getting crushed, dented, etc in transit. So we pay for "wasted space" anyhow. I'm not too fussed about some corners missing.

[Krayt]

Bulkhead looks like he is missing a plastic window, like the BB Bumblebee was....

[SharkyMcShark]

Must say I'm a bit underwhelmed by all of this.

I hope we see some combined pics for the new Menasor before this hits retail because while I like the idea of a do over, I really quite dislike the 'exoskeleton with car shinpads/shoulderpads' look for the combiner.

I just looked at a bunch of Menasor screen-caps. Sometimes the cars are just placed on the arms and legs like decorations. Sometimes they are the whole arms and lower legs. Sometimes they are the upper arms and lower legs. It's probably just another symptom of G1 being animated by a bunch of different studios. Personally, after looking at them I like the upper arm and lower leg layout.
