I actually found Kickback and Skids in the wild. Since it was going to be face-meltingly hot here in the SC I went to do shopping early which apparently is just the time to find the entire wave on the shelves.

Looks like some leaks have come out showing a Legacy Scourge Laser Prime repaint. https://twitter.com/HouseholdWheel/status/1527717092669198339 Dabir fucked around with this message at 20:09 on May 20, 2022 |

Some people are saying it's actually supposed to be Nemesis Prime, not Scourge but the faction symbol apparently clinches it.

Goddamn, that Black Convoy color scheme is 120% hot sex. Plus the character choice keeps the door open for a new Cybertron Scourge...  Velocitron is 2 for 2 so far, and we haven't even seen Cosmos(!) yet.

Having never heard of Catilla before, watching Gavin's new TRDQ with a Battle Cat sabre tooth tiger Pretender that splits open to reveal a...smaller sabre tooth tiger robot inside was very much a delightful case of "I don't know why I didn't expect that."

Smaller than I was hoping he'd be, but still a 100% improvement over the CW one. Curious how they'll approach Superion, assuming they do that next year.

Definitely disagree, I love the CW one (and the other CW combiners) because it actually feels like you’re transforming and combining limbs to make a larger whole which needs all of the limbs to be complete. That picture shows what’s wrong with the new Menasor - you can make an entirely serviceable robot without 3 of the 4 limbs (which are just slapped on a frame in a slavish devotion to a frankly questionable animation model). That’s not a combiner, that’s a big robot wearing purely cosmetic and entirely optional “armor”.

PvP put up a photo gallery of Legacy Tarantulas. Looks like he's mostly a rework of what they were doing with Blackarachnia. Obviously shorter and squatter, but his hip business, his robot mode arms and legs, even his gun, all look pretty similar. Still, there's enough tweaks there to get a very different looking result.

I agree with this but the frame approach seems more sturdy which is my main gripe with the CW guys and gals. Even with upgrade kits they are a floppy mess. Those hands are a shame though.

Scratch that, I misinterpreted the photo. https://uk.hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-legacy-series-commander-decepticon-motormaster E: Actually, I wonder if he has the legs backwards in that photo? The diagram of how you attach the leg cars says to me that they should be facing forwards, with his purple naked feet becoming his heels.

I have horrible news Those legs are correctly facing because that's, for some *insane* reason, how the G1 animation model was. The leg robos went on the back in the cartoon. You don't remember it because how often did you see his legs and also it's loving stupid why would you design a combiner that way but Yeah

Except the robot that results from that in the CW version is complete poo poo, regardless of one's opinion of the Legacy one. Even with the Perfect Effect add-ons, it's still the worst out of the entire lot. quote:That picture shows what’s wrong with the new Menasor - you can make an entirely serviceable robot without 3 of the 4 limbs (which are just slapped on a frame in a slavish devotion to a frankly questionable animation model). That's what Menasor is, yes. For good or ill, that's the character. As with so many of the figures they've made in the last three years, I'm glad they've made the character rather than whatever nonsense the CW one was.
