Transformers Legacy United Reveals.

[Bidoofdude]

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).

I can only hope they're leaving all the show Transmetals (besides Megatron II) for when they can better do the metallic paint. Can't see them being super keen about the vac metal, but they acknowledged feedback about TMII Megatron (which I personally was fine with). We're pretty lucky though that the Transmetal characters in the show were basically 1:1 with their toys, makes the process of making modern toys of them super easy and hopefully focused on nailing the details.

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.

Legacy United first wave up for preorder (Jan 2024 release) at Popcultcha, including Windblade ($49.99, Mar 2024 release).

[KELPIE]

Happy for those that want these characters, however unless I'm caught in a moment of weakness for Animated Prime, I don't see me collecting any of this wave (or poster proposed figures).

Good for saving I guess, however if this is the new direction, then it could be years, if ever that they get to the later years of G1

Give it another couple years and I can see them resetting back into '84 again or flipping right into Bayverse or Prime..

[Seraphim Prime]

I'm really glad from a brand diversity point of view with a lot of these releases and the teases on the poster, however like Kelpie has said a lot that I'm not caught up in needing a new version of or particularly interested in pursuing, which is helpful in having time to reassess the items in the collection overall and trying to save for holidays / home / kids.

There's probably only a few definites so far and a couple of maybes.

The Infernac toys are an interesting concept, but don't really have a place in what my collection is becoming.
I was hoping that Windblade might come out and be a good overall update, but they've stuck hard to the Cyberverse styling with the legs and the gaps in the wings turn me off.

The only two that are definites from me are Chase and Tasmania Kid

Thundertron and Tigerhawk are maybes. I have the original Thundertron and I'm not really seeing anything that says that this is a significant improvement. Similarly Tigerhawk seems interesting, but not quite there. I'll probably get him though as I'm keen on the BW show figures and he'll go well with TM2 Megatron and PotP Optimus Primal

And now we have the reveal of Commander Class Magmatron.

The Beast Modes look a little basic to me, but the Robot mode looks great.

Plus Silverbolt is also revealed, but Takara Tomy had already shown him off.

I haven't seen the cartoon, but I am liking the Legacy-ised Rescue Bots toys. Medix looked pretty good, and Chase seems pretty solid from the pictures.

Would like a Tigerhawk, but I kind of want to see how the toy turns out before making up my mind.

Damn….. when I saw the photo of magmatron, I didn’t realise they were a combiner. I thought they were showing off a whole lot of new product, and the green dinosaur was Dinobot Paddles
