    I just got home from work and checked this all out. It looks like United is going to be the lightest hit on my wallet that wave 1 of a Generations line ever for me. I only want the two Beast Wars characters, Tigerhawk and Tasmanian Kid.

    Everything else looks cool, but it's outside of G1 and Beast Era so it's outside of the scope of my Generations collection.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    I wonder if Windblade is going to carry on the missing-in-action Needlenose/Devcon/Detritus tradition at JB and Amazon AU. Be interesting to see what Popcultcha offers.

    I was expecting BW2 Tasmania Kid to just be a Rattrap retool, but that looks way better than expected!
    Although I don't have much interest in buying most of what was revealed simply because they're outside of my radar, I can see that they've executed most of them pretty well.

    Looking forward to seeing Magmatron at some point - I'm assuming that will be next year's commander class.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    I dunno. Hasbro just revealed the big poster for the line, and Tidal Wave appears rather prominently. Twice in fact, because you see him as both robot and in combined form with Megatron. The latter suggests to me that Tidal Wave is going to be a commander instead of a titan, if only because a titan would be simply too large to do that with.

    I've heard Tidal Wave will be a titan class and it will have left over parts when it combines with Megatron. Otherwise, yes, that would be too much weight for Megatron to handle realistically. My guess is the leftover parts will form some base/weapon like Motormaster's do when he becomes Menasor.

    Otherwise, I don't see Magmatron needing to be a titan class. You can use three voyager level figures to make up a commander budget.

    And I'm wrong. Has indeed been confirmed that Tidal Wave is the titan, and Magmatron the commander.

    Makes sense, especially from a scale POV. Tidal Wave was always massive, especially in the Armada cartoon (and even moreso in the PlayStation game); which makes sense considering that he transforms into three battleships.

    And I much prefer Magmatron as a Leader Class, at it would make him in scale with Kingdom and Legacy Megatron. Now for a CHUG BW Galvatron (and TM Megatron).

    Still at least 3 months from release, loose samples of the wave 1 toys are already showing up on ebay... so that can't be good for Hasbro's factory security.
    It will also mean that some fans will already be getting their hands on these leaked toys so that they can be first to review them online.

    Just a copy of the transcript from the video presentation....
    From https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/09/22/...l-recap-494818

    2024 is “Transformers Legacy: United”

    This year’s “Junkion” style figures, able to connect to other figures via 5mm port
    Motorcycle/Robot/”Rock Weapon” for your other figures
    Very, very slight mention of combiners … potentially, and maybe likely, to unofficially combine

    Deluxe Class Magneous
    “Obsidian” type of stone, tried to match that with mold
    Hallow chest, idea is “sparkless”, it’s not a Transformer it’s a creature
    Crossbow Blaster/Axe accessory

    Four accessories
    Originally seen at Screenrant

    Deluxe Rescue Bots Chase
    Energon Capture Claw included

    Noted some love for Zoids in his design
    Battle damage on his face

    Voyager Animated Optimus Prime
    Axe is extendable
    5mm port on axe so you can put a blast effect to make the axe “blast”
    Lightbar is removable
    Originally seen on Screenrant

    Leader Beast Wars Tigerhawk
    Made animation accurate (purple instead of blue)
    Took sculpt elements from Air Razor and Tigertron and used them in Tigerhawk
    Blasters come off

    RE: Transmetals (ie: Megatron) … “Fans want that vac metal (laughs) We’ll get there (Maybe)”

    Packager refresh – Leader G2 Optimus Prime (Laser)
    (open-window box returns)

    A segment on Robosen Grimlock

    Pulsecon 2023 Exclusive Powerlinx Armada Hot Shot with Mini-Con Jolt
    Theme for the release was the episode of Armada where Powerlinx Hot Shot invades Galvatron’s castle in an effort to get to him to convince him to join the battle against Unicron
    Went orange on Jolt vs yellow as Jolt was almost exclusively orange in the animation and wanted to also give regular release Hot Shot fans a way to complete their OG release
