    Didn't notice at first that it was a Voyager toy. The incorporation of all the MTMTE gimmicks, including the blast shield and blades, is nice but the vehicle mode isn't as clean as I'd expect. A few years ago I never would have expected to see this as an actual Hasbro toy but it's very fitting for the anniversary.

    Tidal Wave looks great, and I think he'd make a great counterpart for Omega.

    Three more Generations/Legacy figures for 2024 were revealed. A Marvel comic-deco repaint of Leader Grimlock with a crown. A Marvel comic-deco repaint of Leader Shockwave with an Optimus Prime head and stand. And a brand new Leader class Sandstorm.

    I like the comic repaints. But I'll probably only get the Shockwave as I can pass Shockwave off as a more G1 cartoon-accurate deco because of the shade of purple. And it will be great to finally have a decent Sandstorm. The last Sandstorm was an ok-but-still-lazy remould of IDW Springer.

    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.

    The Comic Grimlock also comes with three swords for the currently released Dinobots.

    I'd like Shockwave more with out the inking/shading, I was hoping we'd get that colour as a SS86 toy.

    I like seeing the Grimlock comic colours, and the missing swords are a nice touch, but still no G2 version of that toy? And he's more expensive for those swords too.

    Sandstorm is disappointing, for a line that's been doing cartoon accurate toys to give him the toy face is just a weird choice I don't understand. And the thin feet look plain terrible in buggy mode and robot mode.

    There is a G2 version that came out last year. But I'm guessing you're thinking of a different G2 repaint as Grimlock had a couple of G2 repaints back in the 90's.

    Yeah I mean specifically the blue one (that's the one I bought in G2), but there are many to choose from. That mold is getting a good run.

    Very disappointed with Sandstorm. Kinda feels like when I first saw Legacy Blitzwing.

    Very keen on the comic-series Shockwave though!

    2) Legacy Gears

    Heh, what a coincidence. I just read the 5th Marvel US comic that features Shockwave and the decapitated Prime, "The New Order" (I've been going through the mini comics that come with the World's Smallest figures - the first six Marvel issues.)

    Those 40th anniversary commemorative boxes look nice and I like the decapitated head accessory, but I'll give these a miss.

    Sandstorm is a buy for me.
