Some more behind-the-scenes of first wave Legacy Evolution toys on instagram - Needlenose and Hotshot.

“Introducing Legacy Evolution Deluxe Needlenose with Target Master Zigzag and Sunbeam! Ittoku Kuwazu from Takara Tomy did a fantastic job on this fan fav!
.
The articulation on this mold is fantastic! Posing with all the different attachements and combo’s with his target masters is so much fun! Versatility is such a key attribute of this Evolution series, I really can’t wait for everyone to fiddle with this guy in hand. Transformation sequence is so clean, pleasing, and somthing I really really enjoyed!
.
His Evo-Fusion feature is showcased here with his 2 Target Masters combining and forming a giant thruster. You can open up the feet underneath the engine and there is a unique connection point to attach them. Get your Gen Selects Tricranius blast effects out and really go wild with all the compatibility.
“Takara’s legendary Takashi Kunihiro san worked on this awesome Legacy Evolution Armada Hotshot! What a pleasure it was to work with him on this key character from the Armada universe. This toy is so much fun to play with I had to dive in this weekend!
.
Let’s dive into some delicious Hotshot deets. As you can see from the photo’s featured here, the “axelzooka” (tire axle that evolves into a bazooka canon) is blast effect compatible and its his EVO-Fusion capability. The articulation and swivel on the bazooka mount gives you such versatility to display him however you want. If you get bold, you can actually poke out the tire axle out of the c-clip construction and attach it to the double barreled engine blaster to make the bazooka a handheld weapon. Achievement unlocked!!
.
When you collect the Legacy Evolution Voyager Armada Starscream character you’ll be able to act out and play out some great battlescenes between the two. The more important thing is to give Hotshot his ultimate energized star saber weapon!
.
This sports car is just straight mean looking, I love it. Wide bodied frame, stealthy fast, low to ground, and even a sweet gunmetal type color tone for the wheels to burn some serious rubber. I would definitely put this dude into the turbo revving young punk category! 🤣
.
Also to note, the transparent tinted goggles stay clear with perfect placement for his optics to see out of when positioned down, but we were able to solid coat the rest with some sweet gunmetal paint!
.
Shout out to my guy @archermonster_creative for working so hard on the Armada universe all those years ago! I hope this guy gets you amped my dood!!
And somehow, someone has already managed to get their hands on Scraphook, and posted up a video... screenshots can be seen here, as I don't want to financially support toy thieves.
