Further evidence that this is most probably a solid G1 stance with Motormaster's trailer being the arms and legs and these guys sticking to it like in the show.

Packaging Designer: Well we can add a second angled side and taper the front skinnier at the top than at the bottom.
Hasbro Exec: Brilliant!

Ahem, I mean not my cup of tea, but if these sell well they won't cancel Tarantulas and Inferno.

These aren't Funko Pops, and with smaller (or non-existent) packaging window openings, MIB collecting is just box collecting now.

Laser primes trailer looks too small but it still looks really good, dunno why I'm a sucker for g2 prime when bay verse version sucks. I'm gonna have to pass but hopefully a toxitron out of him. I'm happy with g2 and tr for now.
Kickbacks just not needed for me, happy with legends.
Dragstrips 6 wheels yay but sucky car mode. Classics still wins it for me in bot mode despite it being stylised. Depends on how good the combined mode is.
Bulkhead with rhinox head might do it for me but so many more toys I'd want before that. It's just not bulky and big enough for Bulkhead to me.
All in all, saving quite a bit with not many wants from legacy at the moment.

Notbshaping upbto be my most wow'd by line but these are first reveals.
Glad Dragstrip has his unique 6 wheeler mode. Gotta see what that combiner looks like.
Arcee's proportions look a bit off but she's not bad. Headsculpt is a bit unemotional but it has all the right elements, she turns into a super bike and we are going forvthe arm blades. This is what a Prime-Character-in-G1 should be aiming for, Hasbro. I hope the rear wheel halves do something to tuck in better thoygh?
Kickback: If I didnt have the trio from Generations all ready I would be very excited about this. Maybe they will give us a Ransack redeco?
Prime: I like this vut I dont need it. Need to see more of the trailer. The shoulders have some kind of hinging going on like the launchers can flip up and the arm tucks in? If so then kudos for changing the transformation up

Bulkhead is looking better now
G2 Prime makes me sad I got Nemesis Prime instead of waiting on the black Convoy they'll make with this mold

Just make it two different characters. Nemey is a twisted Optimus Prime doppelganger and Black Convoy/Scourge is an artifically altered clone or what have you. Plus side its three different looking bots on the same base frame

Want to pre-order now.
Also, thought I would pass on Kickback, but damn. if he doesn't look nice.
Can totally skip Prime Arcee. Need to see the rest of the stunt icons before I commit to that, though Dragstrip does look nice.
What's wrong with them Earthrise Legs? I think they work fine.
Wasn't expecting a retool of Earthrise Prime for this though.

4:00 pm EST for Pulse Premium members. 5:00 pm EST for everyone else.

4pm ET, though the pre-order for Ravage went up at 3pm UK. Was this an error? Is my pre-order gonna be cancelled?

Lazer Optimus look boss. But will it be a Commander, or a leader? If leader, I'm sure to pick him up. It will be fun to pit him against my original.
Dragstrip look NICE! I'm looking forward building Menasor. Let's hope Deadend is not an exclusive this time around because that would be EVIL.
Also, the more I see that Bulkhead, the more I like it.

Leader Class, like his mold predecessor, Earthrise / Kingdom Prime

Legacy Laser Optimus Prime is Leader Class.
Posted by DeathReviews on October 22nd, 2021 @ 12:54pm CDT
I do worry about the new Menasor, since it appears (initially) that the Deluxe Stunticons don't have a combiner peg apparatus. Beyond that, Dragstrip looks good.
Skids: He has a kind of cheaper appearance to him overall.
Kickback: Very G1-esque. I hope they do more with the head to hide the face in insect mode. And I hope he has a proper grasshopper style abdomen, even though G1 Kickback didn't. If you're going to make a cybernetic grasshopper, at least try for SOME anatomical accuracy.
Laser Optimus: I think the G1 fans will be OK with it, but it looks kind of higgledy-piggledy to me. Same with Bulkhead.
Prime Arcee: Just when I thought they couldn't make any transforming version look LESS like the on-screen model, they prove me wrong....

NICE! And that trailer look to be more complete and less cheap than the ER Optimus one.

I love kickback's wings.
Dragstrip, I'm undecided at the moment. If i got him, and his buddies, they'd probably spend most of the time in uncombined mode (assuming they're working with cars stuck on limbs G1 Menasor).
Lazer Prime, didn't see it coming that it was a WfC Prime retool.

I don't think it looks good either, just something that exists. Honestly, these reveals were not that great. Now I am off to get my Pulsecon exclusive.
The Arcees are still two different characters, they just have the same name. I don't know if that's canon, but that's the wiki's problem, not mine. (Edited to add: they agree.)

This is far from the first time I'm buying Generations G1 again, but between SS86 and Legacy, they're now the majority of my new purchases. Only Skids will be truly new to my collection.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on October 22nd, 2021 @ 1:11pm CDT
Kickback look nice.
Lazer Optimus is GORGEOUS. And he will be even more so with a Reprolabels upgrade.
Posted by Nemesis Primal on October 22nd, 2021 @ 1:35pm CDT
Dragstrip can't be further off my radar, zero interest in redoing combiners we already did.
Kickback is everything I wanted him to be, give me Bombshell like this Hasbro. Shrapnel can come too, I guess...actually heck, just do all of 'em. The cartoon trio, Deluxe Insecticon retools, Diaclone repaints, the whole deal. Give me a full-on Insecticon hive, I'm ready.
Arcee is great, love it. They handled her kibble about as well as they could, I think, the Energon arm blades aren't half-bad, I really like that bike mode, and even if they probably only did it for retool purposes, I like that her torso is less overtly bikini-looking. Not only am I down for this as my definite Arcee (G1 Arcee ain't even a contender), but I'd totally grab a Flamewar or the potential Road Rocket from this.
EDIT: Ooh, and Bulkhead has actual molded vehicle bits and weapon storage under the alt mode tarp, it isn't just hiding overt robot bits or something? Niiiice.
I wonder if they didn't reveal Blaster because he's still in Kingdom? They still haven't put up a reveal or orders for Pipes and Slammer, who are supposedly his wave-mates, and last year we did still get some Earthrise reveals after the Kingdom announcement.Munkky wrote:It's a shame they didn't reveal Blaster or any of the Cores.
Lack of Cores really bugs me though, I was really looking forward to seeing Iguanus.
We do have a rumor for A Ransack as part of a 4-pack, problem is we don't know which Ransack specifically.Flashwave wrote:Kickback: If I didnt have the trio from Generations all ready I would be very excited about this. Maybe they will give us a Ransack redeco?

Bummed they didn’t reveal the other voyager.
Arcee looks more like strongarm to me, and the flat panel torso was bad on SS Dino and is still bad here

Laser Prime has ER Prime's lower legs? Kinda wish he had Siege's, though. Once you see the vestigial trailer port you can't unsee it. Still, makes me look forward to the Nemesis version (or Black Convoy, whatever).
Dragstrip. I guess I'll get the Stunticons and have faith that Menasor looks good? Wish I didn't have to do though, though. It'd be nice to have a full reveal for the combiner.
Kickback looks great.

I got to agree with you there. I mean, I appreciate the attempt, unifying the brands and all into one universal aesthetic. But.... it wasn't just the shows or the toys that made the different eras of transformers great, it was the unique styles for each.
I am sure at some point they will drop a geewunified Animated or something bot that I will have to have because reasons, but for now, I am really not feeling it. MONEY SAVED YAY!
Kickback and Dragstrip however, Oh ya, I need them boys.
Don't know about lazerrod prime. He looks great, even with re-using earthrise/siege prime parts. But do I need a modern version of him, when I have the original? it was a pretty epic optimus to begin with. Probably not. The obligatory Scourge/Nemesis repaint, given that it literally is the mold the first version of the character is based off, also falls into the same, "It's neat, but I am happy with my original" category.
welp, wake me when Tarantulus, Inferno, and Blaster are shown off.

I mean, not quite. ER remolded Seige's legs and has a vestigial port on the right upper hand side of the shin as a result. It's almost unnoticeable, but ... I noticed it.

Only one that looks OK to me is Laser OP, which is apparently another reuse of the WFC/Earthrise mold, with another tiny trailer like Earthrise had.
Reeeeeally need those last Beast Wars characters to be good...

Well, not that it had that much use on the Siege figure anyway.
It was there to accommodate the trailer Siege did not come with. And yes you could peg in the shield / Axe there, but there are also 6 other ports you could use in vehicle mode.
You can still use it on ER to plug in a weapon if you want to, so its at least as useful as it was on Siege.
