    No idea on accessories unfortunately, I've just seen engineering pictures of Skids.

    Cheers!

    I dont suppose you've seen Motormaster? And if so does he have the cab for his feet?

    Also i do remember you saying that you had seen Blitzwing and he was a little compromised. Just wondering is he compromised badly? Or about as much as the G1 toy (which I thought was fine). I wasnt a fan of Titans return version as i thought it was a) too blocky and b) had too many joins / hinges etc especially on the shoulders.

    I've only seen a low res block model of Motormaster unfortunately, was hard to make head nor tail of it.

    I can say the early concept art has cab feet, but there's usually a lot of compromises between the art and final product.

    Don't get me wrong, Blitzwing looks good, he just isn't the same level of upgrade as Siege Astrotrain was from the TR version. More due to the fact TR Astrotrain was pretty weird and 'cybertronian vehicle-ey' and TR Blitzwing was more a straight up adaption of the G1 character.

    It seems more like an excuse to get a version of the mold into new hands, and get sales from OCD collectors that need sets to be completed in the same scale/aesthetic.

    Hopefully we can get more late G1 characters in Legacy.
    We still need a more accurate Crosshairs and an earthmode Quake.
    With late G1 mixed with Prime, Beast Wars and the UT (sans 84 derivatives) we'll finally have the real generations toyline we always wanted.
    And when everything that needed updating got updated Hasbro can go nuts with the 84 characters and their derivatives.

    If I like the new Blitzwing as much as I like the new Astrotrain, there will soon be my old Takara Legends Blitzwing moving to a new home!

    While I probably wouldn't mind it either (I think most of us tend to leave combiners in their 'default' config) there's always that thing we go back to of "retaining legacy gimmicks" so they probably won't end up dropping it.
    I guess I'm one of those people then, because while I do like the TR mold (I ended up getting Megatron and not BW though), I'm basically rebooting my collection in a way, so I guess I do "need" Blitzwing.

    For me, Blitzwing will partly depend on how much more solid he is than the TR mold. I've got the Takara version of that one, so I'm overall pretty happy with it, so the new one will have to be awesome for me to replace the one I've got.

    Hopefully that means they'll be taking a look at a new Octane in the coming lines!

    Does he look like he could be a remold or engineering reuse of the Jurassic Park bot? I'm assuming not because it'd need a lot of reworking to make the much shorter car mode work, but a lot of people have been assuming that's what he would be ever since that set was revealed.
    Me too. I'm not even planning on buying a full set of any combiner teams, I just want good individual figures so I can have decent representations of my favorite characters from each team.
    Same, while it's definitely not perfect I really love the jet mode and the height in robot mode, and it sounds like the Legacy one won't beat him on either of those factors so it's sounding like he'll probably be a skip for me. I'm hoping he's just underselling the jet mode though, because I would really like a better articulated Blitzwing.

    Yeah assuming they do them all there are certain teams I’ll get all of but for the Stunticons I’m going to be choosing which ones to get and which ones to not. Even if I get all of the Stunticons they’ll most likely be not combined for the most part.

    I'd love a fresh Quickstrike and Silverbolt! It means I don't have to wrestle with opening the OG in sealed mint packaging cause I want to display him in my case! I can just get a protective case for the sealed figure!! I don't have Quickstrike at all, so the sooner the better on both!!!

    If (WHEN) they do a Voyager Fuzor Silverbolt, I'm hoping they don't honk up the wings. No springs is a good thing from the status quo, to start with. I would love to see wing articulation better than Kingdom Airazor's... but surprisingly enough it's another deluxe figure whose wing engineering I love: Animorphs Tobias. If SB could have a spread like that, I wouldn't care if his weapons just clipped or tabbed in to them instead of being "correctly" holstered in tubes.

    Another thing I hope for is Sunstorm and Bitstream (Siege molds) to go with Hotlink. They’ll probably be generation selects exclusives.

    The other seekers would be nice too: Nacelle, Blackout, Slipstream, Etc.

    I want enough to form a squadron. You need 18 at least for that.
