    Finally I can stop coping and seething that Titans Return made everyone’s favorite headmasters such as:
    Optimus Prime
    Megatron
    Misfire
    Triggerhappy
    Scourge
    Astrotrain
    Galvatron m

    and not actual headmasters

    the engineering for most of the guys was rock solid but damn the lineup was questionable

    The easier solution would just be to improve on what the previous silverbolt did. Honestly, his combined form was really good. At a leaders or commanders, it could be bear perfect. Its really hotspot that would need to be redone as onslought already had it pretty good, as did computron. Just improve on what they already did

    I get the feeling we'll definetly be seeing Minerva if nothing else, she's pretty popular as far as JG1 goes and takaras already shown they'd do retools like it'd take with Scylla

    But then the question there is, what is Silverbolt doing with the extra resources, parts, etc. of the Commander price point? And if he's only a Voyager or even Leader, how is he matching the bulk that Commander class Motormaster brings to the table, even if their combined mode heights are the same?

    I mean, if both Gen and SS are gonna be 90% G1 next year, I don't know if I'll be sticking around. We've finally reached the point where there isn't a single toy line, cartoon or movie that I'm even remotely interested in.

    I think you overestimate how obscure the Headmaster Jrs are. Nightbeat in particular is very popular. When we start getting guys like Deftwing or Manta Ray, then I'll believe the sky's the limit.

    I think it's a bit of a stretch to call his alt mode "Earth" mode!

    My guess is that Nightbeat and Siren/Go Shooter will share a mold, or be designed from the grand up to have shared parts/engineering.

    Yeah I was thinking that too, but it would definitely be more of a case of sharwd engineering rather than the whole mold given the positions of the car parts in bot mode is reversed.

    The closest one is Energon Inferno, but he looks more like G1 Inferno, which is a toy we just got.

    Please, I pray to Primus, do not let them release Minerva as a store exclusive.

    I want Star Saber.
    And Thunderclash.
    And Hyperdrive.
    And Big Bang.
    And the Micromaster Combiners.
    And God Ginrai.
    And Star Convoy. (That last one was full on trash.)

    Awesome! Finally! It seemed like Legacy was going to go into obscure UT territory and give us redesigns of the same early G1 nobodies as usual, but it's great to see that there will be something for the late G1 crew again. Hopefully we'll get redos of the Powermasters and the Autobot Targetmasters too.
    It seems like they are all going to be released in the same line. Which is as it should be, instead of them being tossed among three different sublines with three different aesthetics and gimmicks.

    BEST news I’ve heard from ALL the leaks so far! Like many I’ve enjoyed the new G1 Transformers that’s made this last trilogy, but also been frustrated it’s mainly been the Sunbow crowd again. Thrilled to have a few more later G1, which also gives me more confidence in the line going forward.

    Plus, if ALL the Autobot Jr Headmasters are in Part 1 of Legacy, Part 2 could have the three Decepticon Jr Headmasters & Part 3 could have the Powermasters!

    My only minor regret is that Siren is just a Selects toy (understandable given so many other characters are being pushed in this new Trilogy), I’d imagine being Nightbeat with a new faceplate & an actual siren plugged in the top (like Autobot Alliance Prowl)

    I would have thought a new Siren would give us a Go-Shooter (Police repaint of Siren’s Fire Chief car) & Minerva could come from Nightbeat, as I don’t see all 4 characters sharing the same body. But again that’s a minor complaint. New Jr Headmasters, woo!!

    Again I’d love a Go-Shooter from Siren too, simply because I love his Police design over Siren’s Fire one (which I always found weird as Hosehead is also a Fire engine)

    I hope so, we could even get the Autobot Dinosaur cassettes at the same time! (plus a proper Grand Slam / Raindance) Throw them in Core class & do us proud Hasbro!

    well Silverbolt is a concorde, a passenger plane, so maybe the combiner kibble can turn into one of those staircases on wheels that you see on runways. or maybe luggage carrier cars.

    I think a Commander Motormaster with separate cab (robot) and trailer (weird kibble + Menasor exoskeleton) (or cab + part of the trailer for robot and Astrotrain-like tow-trailer) could be scaled properly with the other combiners - the exoskeleton can, for example, be perfectly aligned to have arm-length and leg-length perfectly matched to the deluxe sizes. It's not impossible, but it either means there are extra (beyond feet and hands) combined pieces that are extraneous in non-combined mode or MM will have tons of (probably bad looking) armor.

    Compound proper nouns get the plural on the more important identifier - Attorneys General, etc. You can argue their junior status is more important, I suppose, in-universe, but I think that's incorrect out-of-universe
