I might pick up Brawn and Beachcomber. I'm most excited about Warpath and Wheelie, however.

This whole set is fantastic. Even Screamer, who I originally had no interest in, is actually a very good Legends toy. Beachcomber is my favorite of the bunch. One small gripe is that after repeated transformations my Brawn is getting a little loose in the hips and where his waist connects. Nothing that's hard to fix though.

I really hope this line continues for a while and that we get some more Decepticons. G1 Cyclonus would look killer in this scale, as would G1 Scourge. And while I can't imagine them doing a G1 Soundwave, that would be very cool to see.

Well, even though I'm not into the Legends set, this one looks pretty cool.

I'd prefer it if Hasbro used their brains for once, Hound comes with an updated Ravage, that's one. The Legends line would be the perfect place to also release updated Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy, Ratbat, Slugfest, Overkill, Beastbox and Squawktalk. (They might not be able to make them combine into Squawkbox, but I'd settle for just getting updated Cassetticons.)

If they're using Legends to re-make the Mini-Bots then why not the Cassetticons too? The original counterpart to the Mini-Bots were the Cassetticons and they would fit in perfectly scalewise with the larger figures, plus if they made them all like Ravage with backwards compatibilty of the original G1 Soundwave then they'd be the best damn thing that Hasbro could put out. The Legends Autobots woefully outnumber the Legends Decepticons, why is that? Both the Cybertron and Movie lines for Legends were even sided between the Autobots and Decepticons, Classics has two Decepticons total during it's run and I can forgive that because Classics wasn't supposed to last so long, but with Universe Hasbro has an ongoing series and the perfect place to start making more new Cassetticons in the style of Ravage to even up the sides a little. (Maybe even make updated Cassettibots for Blaster and make him as a Store Exclusive to TRU or something.) So why the hell do the sides have to be so lopsided? Four individually packaged Decepticons (Onslaught, Starscream, Megatron, Starscream Animated) against a veritable army of Autobots, (Red Alert, Jazz, Hound, Beachcomber, Brawn, Bumblebee, Warpath, Wheelie, Cosmos, Rodimus, Prowl Animated, Bumblebee Animated, Optimus Prime Animated) I say the 'Cons need some lovin' too. Heck they should make Lugnutz and Megatron from the Animated line too just to even the sides of those fellas if you ask me. In case you can't tell I'm a little obsessed with all sides being even to perfection.

Awesome idea! I agree, if Hasbro is going to make one backwards-compatible tape-bot (and to be honest I'm still flabberghasted that they did even this one), they might as well keep going.

And yeah, the Legends need more 'Cons. I tried to set up a battle scene but my 'Con army consisted of G2 Megs, Cybertron Soundwave, Cybertron Thundercracker, Animated Starscream and Animated Bumblebee (he's evil I tell ya!). That's just not right.

Cassettes are weak toys. I'd rather see new Insecticon molds at the Legends scale.
