    Default Walmart Velocitron Legacy toys

    Pics of Override in her box have been leaked, and now we know the toyline's called Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection. But it hasn't stopped there as we get our first looks at Road Hauler. I'm hoping an announcement on the toyline is made soon.
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    I think we can call both reveals official now

    The box shapes are very Gen1 retro, while the colouring makes me think of the Actionmasters packaging.
    I really like them, but probably would have preferred the boxes to be closed - not only to protect the limited release toys, but also to make it look even more retro.

    For toys like these that should be getting an official reveal, I usually try to hold off until that happens, because in the past I have seen some really good custom packaging that ended up being faked.
    I guess for now I can move these to their own news topic, as most people think the packaging is legit... and if anything proves otherwise, I'll move the posts back into their own topic.

    The sad part about this is picturing Cosmos in that packaging

    So it turns out that the second wave of Velocitron does not include Shadowstriker, but rather Shadowstrip, a G2 re-colour of Drag Strip. Has been found on NZ Kmart shelves along with Crasher.

    Pics of Velocitron Voyager Hot Rod have been leaked, showing him to be more of a G1 toy accurate redeco. Feels weird how not long ago the cartoon accurate toy has the more premium one, and now it's the G1 toy accurate one.

    I do like the darker red, but not a fan of the paint apps on the legs (I know that they were going for toy accuracy, just not a fan of the execution).
    I may be alone here, but I'd happily accept a few less accessories if it meant they could fix the yellow panel on the roof. I'm sure it's due to various parts using the same sprue, and therefore changing just that one piece would take up some budget. I could do without the hand-saw piece as a compromise since that isn't toy accurate anyway.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    Given all the G2 nods in the line it would have been cool to see Hot Rod is his magenta G2 colours from the comic

    This is a very good point, and a missed opportunity. Still I like the darker red

    Agreed, the toy colour is nice! And it will be at the deluxe price point... (mostly )
