    Legends, you say? Been off the site for a while so I'd not heard about that assortment. Looks like redecos of earlier Legends / Legion class toys, are you able to confirm.

    Those should be the Energon Igniters Speed class. New name, same size as Legends but they can tow the Energon core of the bigger figures.

    Sounds right there's a post hole in the back of each vehicle.
    Is there a way to edit the thread name?

    Oh cool. I\'ll have to check my Krogers. I forgot that they tend to put on movie toys for stuff. Also I noticed that Big Bad Toy Store put up some Bumblebee movie stuff. They have power charge Bee for like 52. I order me him incase I don\'t find him before they get him in.

    More precisely, that's a new name for the Legion Class which originally went by the name "Legends" from 2005 to 2011. Not to be confused the with the modern, larger "Legends Class" figures that have existed since 2013, and which are roughly the same size as the old Scout Class.

    I'll say this though...I don't think they've announced a wave 2 on any of the BB toys, have they? Maybe Hasbro wised up after TLK...
