I will definitely get the Legends Bumblebee if it means getting that Wheelie repaint.

Smokescreen may not be worth getting the Legends Starscream mold....

Shadow Striker and Smokescreen are for sure going on the list. Too bad I'll need to get another BB and SS to get them.

Not sure why Starscream couldn't get a splash of purple and go as Skywarp. Maybe future plans?

Stuff I want. Stuff to trade/sell (Updated 10/11/2009). My feedback.

Thank god, another chance to get the legends Hot Rod and Wheelie molds.

I think The Twins and Starscream also look good, but it will probably turn out like every time I'm interested in a legends figure. Want it, but lose all interest when it's released.

Thanks to SmokescreenGT for the sig!

These look fun...

I will say, though, while Hasbro was re-designing the Legends Prime and Legends Bumblebee molds for ROTF, they really should have taken another stab at the Starscream mold. I feel like they've gotten a lot better at designing these Legends figs, and Starscream is such a crummy mold that he really deserves a revamp. Plus, as with any Seeker mold, the repaint possibilities are limitless.... they'd make their money back on it, I suspect.

Ah well, still getting all these.

Sweet. But that Starscream mold needs to die in a fire already.

The perfect haiku would have just two syllables: Airwolf.

Those Universe repaints are solid win.

But that Starscream mold is an embarrassment. Hasbro should be ashamed of that thing.

From what I understand, the photos are not taken by the designers of the figure, but rather by a professional photography company. I'm not 100 percent certain I'm correct, though.
Yeah, Hasbro said their photographers and the outside studios they hire handle photos for all the toys Hasbro make, and because these people aren't fans, so they don't often do the best poses or the correct Transformations.

It's a Legends class toy of a rather complicated design. Both companies did what they could given the limitations on parts.

Yes! More new Legends characters. Definitely look like 2 packs. I'll skip Skids and Mudflap, as I've already got them.
Looking for SUPERLINK ARIEL PARADRON TYPE (green) complete. It can be loose. Please PM with offers or leads. Thanks!

True, but it's obvious they can do better. However, I know they have restrictions on how many new molds they can do each year, and they probably made the right choice doing the legends Constructicons, rather than redo some of the weak molds like Starscream here.

Now if only they'd release them.
