    To be fair to Hot Rod a lot of legion, legend and even deluxe toys use that basic transformation.

    What about the Legion 2 packs? They’re the only Autobots Unite I’ve not seen in my local ASDA. They been spotted anywhere?

    I wonder. I love the size class myself and get legion stuff from lines I don't even collect (RiD). But perhaps it's telling just how downsized (no puns) it is since the days of Prime and DotM.

    The lack of accessories on legion and legends has got to be the most staggeringly irritating cost measure I've seen in recent times, especially with legends. We used to get triple-changing micromasters!

    Pretty nice Legion mold, but I have a Legion scaled Hot Rod which I prefer, so this one is a pass for me.

    I would like to get a couple more of the TLK Legions, but distribution of them by me has been really poor. I have never seen a Hound or Crosswise, and those are the two I was looking forward to.

    It is very close to Sideswipe's alt mode, almost exactly, but is molded differently. That's kind of upsetting, because those mold changes don't help this to look like his actual vehicle mode. It still looks like the fictional Sideswipe car. That could have easily changed at least the curvature of the hood, as it folds onto the back.

    Iposted this pic on another thread as well, but I think this is the correct time and place, that bluish hue would have looked much better than black in my opinion. Also, this toy needs way more orange to do justice to hot rod.
