    G1 Tailgate is my favorite minibot, and this potp update of him will be the first Legends toy I'll buy since CW Chopshop.
    Not everyone likes IDW, and there already exists an IDW legends Tailgate. its kind of shit, but it exists. if you want a super accurate one you can always go with Maketoys'.

    I was really hoping the mini-bots were just mini because they used the already existing Japanese molds. Why did they have to keep them mini? They should be the same size as the regular Autobot cars. Windcharger is a Pontiac Firebird, Bluestreak is a Datsun 280z. They should be the same size. I just don't understand the whole mini-bot thing. Compare the modern deluxe size to the original Autobot cars. Take for example Combiner Wars Prowl towers over G1 Prowl. So it's not like they're sticking slavishly to the original size. So why do the G1 mini-bots need to stay mini???

    Thank God I was able to get Botcon Battletrap. Even though it was rip-off I'd rather have that than these Legends abominations.

    Kind of shit? It's super shit.

    This is the tailgate I've wanted since I was a kid. I'm thoroughly impressed with this new Tailgate.

    Ducons look good too

    I've never owned the mold so I was just assuming.
    But yea POTP Gatey is what I've wanted ever since xtransbots made their quite pretty yet awfully made attempt at an MP Gatey. and although this isn't MP, its a fairly posable, still pocket sized new Tailgate.
    Now if only they made a new legends Warpath.

    You know I've been saying it for a while now we really need to get land cross I mean no he's not exactly a Duo con or Duo bot but it is still the better way of doing a transformation like the way they did the power links in Energon and still have a six-member combiner and you get two combinations out of each set of 2 having three sets I don't see how hasbro can pass up an improved gimmick like that like you don't even have to have the proper two characters you can have any two members of the team and have two distinct combined modes and mix and match until you have all 6 if they want playability do a land cross set again

    I like Tailgate. It might actually replace my IDW one and I like it way more than Windcharger because it doesn't have that ugly face.

    I would buy a new Landcross in a heartbeat, especially Mechtackles.
    they would fit really well in the legends class I'd think, they're basically the same engineering on 6 different toys. that or a third party should take a crack at em, maybe tfc since they've done 2 Victory Combiners already.

    Well...

    Beat me to it, with added 3P discussion that I wouldn't never throw in.

    I'm unapologetically going to be giving my T30 Tailgate and Windcharger to my daughter now. No regrets.

    Shit, should have been "would've". Not sure HOW that autocorrected.


    However, in true Tony fashion I'm leaving it in since you referenced it...

    I think having Battletrap's alt modes to have separate bot modes is a nice and yet clever touch. Now, just give us Flywheels and we're all set and Tailgate is nice, too.

    Huh, suprised by so many g1 Tailgate fans. Guess I was only thinking of him in fiction rather than design alone. And yeah I wasn't really being fair; I have that 3P version so I don't even think about the previous generations toy ^^;

    Fair point. Yeah I didn't look too closely at the clip. And I'll admit that Battleslash is somewhat growing on me.
