    They will probably turn up the same months as the preorders. Inferno and Grapple were set for june and just made it by being released the last week of it. These will probably be released on time or sooner.

    That Ultra Magnus is without a doubt the most impressive legends-scale figure I have ever seen.

    Especially Huffer, Sideswipe and Red Alert; Magic Square seems to be waiting until the second batch is closer to complete before soliciting pre-orders. I bet they ship much quicker.

    Probably it's just learning as they go; March always seemed overly optimistic.

    If I were them I would stagger releases for a steady stream of revenue.

    I'd expect Sideswipe and Red Alert next. We saw finished versions of them before anyone else that looks done, and they'll get to share packages like Grapple and Inferno do.

    Next, probably Magnus on his own. His design is being heralded as better than Masterpiece, so I expect he'll be a very popular figure.

    After UM, I'm guessing Seaspray and Beachcomber, followed by Huffer and an as of yet unseen, but inevitable Pipes.

    I think that just leaves Trailbreaker and bunny ears (I could see him releasing with Magnus though) until they move forward and show us more of Menasor.

    Looks like you were right about Sideswipe and Red Alert; Tfsource has listed as them coming in September and Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus Beachcomber and Seaspray coming November/December.

    Beachcomber looks outstanding. I wish they had ball joint style ankle tilts rather thank just side axis, though I appreciate sometimes that's be hard to do with particular transformations.

    Are these up for preorder on any UK sites yet?

    Impressive transformation. It takes clear cues from the MP while at the same time avoiding the mistakes and shortcomings of the MP.

    At almost 12 cm he might just work for my non-existing Legends collection that I refuse to give into… ;)

    All it takes is that first one friend. The slope is slippery but it's glorious.

    well, the first one was DX9 Scourge then mft Soundblaster, then mt Shockwave and recently mft Ratchet and Ironhide (those are the only two I kind of regret, in part because I forget I had other plans for those characters).

    But no, musn't give in.

    For example. But then I'd have a voyager Magnus that I can't use since I have no collection in which it would fit.

    Just got an email from TFSource, Beachcomber and Seaspray are being sold as a set now. With a price drop from 27.99 apiece to 49.99 for the set. I planned to pick both up anyways, so I come out ahead. But this sucks for anyone hoping to only pick up one or the other.

    Robotoybase has them listed also, with Magnus as approx Nov, Beachy/Seaspray Dec and SS/RA as Sept. No word on Huffer or Cyclonus though.

    Cyclonus was pushed back to December by TFSource, but that is only place I have seen it listed as a December.

    And weirdly they have Trailbreaker up for pre-order, but not Huffer.

    Do they come with rolling papers and a teeny herb grinder?

    All joking aside, it’s a definite maybe now, if they shelf warm a bit and I feel a touch of puckishness.

    I’d kinda prefer something less G1 and more IDW for these two, or an update on G2 Manta Ray. I also figured I’d wait for Magic Square to tilt towards Cosmos, Wipeout, and Tailgate or maybe the Predacons. But, the bong squad might do as an introduction to Magic Square Toys.

    Still, a Nemesis Prime alongside their teased PotP Prime would be pretty nifty, too.

    We also need a Delta Magnus.

    Only Takara MPs, 3Ps and Ironfactory have made the Diaclone recolour so far. Hasbro has never touched Diaclone repaints.

    Is the TF source preorder for Beachcomber and Seaspray dead for anyone else? BBTS still has them as separates.
