    Prime is looking like worst Prime in quite ahwhile, yet still managing to be just meh, instead of bad. Goes to show how good Primes have gotten lately. Rest are looking really good tho, highlights being Arcee and Kickback.

    Dragstrip looks so fucking good holy shit

    he’s a near perfect interpretation of the toon Model for its price, the only deviation is the shoulders and even then it’s on ball joints I think you can pop it off???

    laser Prime looks.. alright. I think some more paint apps (ie the red on his knees) would make it less obvious he’s a ER Prime retool and less boring. Toyhax is rubbing their hands for him.

    the rest are honestly pretty okay, the bottom of the barrel is definitely TFP stuff. The Arcee transformation looks interesting to say the least, and I’ll be definitely picking up Road Rocket.

    Really not liking that all the reveals so far but Prime have unpainted rims.

    Makes them look much cheaper.

    One thing I love is that they're bringing back the character bios, those have been sorely missing the last many lines.

    I'm going to keep it positive here and say I'm excited that some figures have light-piping, and I hope they bring it back in more figures.

    Well I might pass on the stunticons if they aren't CW compatible (despite looking good so far). I really like all the CW guys are compatible.

    Bulkhead I'll be getting to customize into Heatwave. I'll keep my Prime First Edition as my Bulkhead

    Laser Prime is meh. He looks good certainly just not excited about him

    I like Skids, Kickback, and Arcee. I'm hoping we get a Flamewar repaint of Arcee.

    Arcee isnt as bad as Bulkhead, but I still wish they had just done it properly instead of trying to stylise for whatever reason
    Laser Prime, I love the look of, kinda disappointed he doesn't have sword wielding hands tho
    Dragstrip, prolly the best deluxe of the wave
    Kickback, looks awesome

    What are we supposed to be seeing tomorrow, or is this everything?

    I’m getting Dragstrip and Kickback for sure. The others were not characters I was interested in the first place before the reveal anyway. Skids looks great though and Bulkhead looks pretty cool too. He looks like what I’d imagine a G1 version of him would look like, but I get that Prime fans are pissed that he’s G1-ish. No opinion on Prime Arcee and G2 Optimus. I wish we would have seen Blaster and the cores...

    In for everyone except Drag Strip. I’ll be the outlier and say Bulkhead & Arcee are my most excited releases.

    My biggest hope with Legacy and the trilogy as a whole is to allow me to no longer try and fudge in Bayverse, Prime, Rid15, Animated, & UT figures into a Classics display. Lets give everyone the G1 treatment, I’m game.

    Hawt 4 bragging rites!!!

    Skids looks much better in those photos than anything seen prior. Kickback is annoyingly good looking (I’d told myself that I had no desire to upgrade from the TR version). I’m indifferent to the rest, I think, and like many I’m a bit vexed we didn’t see Blaster’s new toy.

    Today's reveals soldified what I was thinking when Bulkhead and Skids were revealed, I cannot wait for this line!

    Bulkhead and Skids both looked far better in person than they did in the renders.

    Arcee looks absolutely incredible. Possibly the release I'm most excited for!

    I've never been a big Stunticon/Menasor fan, but I've always like Dragstrip a good deal better than the other four. He looks incredible here and it'll likely be enough to make me buy the rest of them.

    Laser Prime isn't perfect, I think his torso is a bit too short for his legs. But he's good enough to make me excited for him. The trailer looks great and I'm overall very excited to be getting him.

    The only one I'm not super excited for is Kickback because his transformation somehow look less involved than his TR legends class version. That being said, he does look great and since I hate CW Shrapnel I'll probably pick up the deluxe Insecticons so I can have good versions of all three while still keeping them in scale with each other.

    Hope we get to see Blaster soon! They at least hinted that he's coming, so I'm glad to know he hasn't been canned.

    I can't wait to see what else this line has to bring. I'm really happy to be getting new versions of the Prime characters that will match the rest of my collection and I can't wait to see the rest of them!

    Kickback and Bulkhead are day one pickups for me.

    I want to focus on something positive instead of that awful Arcee that I just keep seeing more and more problems in when I try and decipher it, so I'm going to talk about how much I love Dragstrip.

    I'm loving the little design alterations Dragstrip has like the shoulder wheels being rotated 90 degrees, the halves of the front section sitting on either side of the head and the feet being made out of the spoiler. It's fresh and new and if we're looking at these kinds of design touch ups for the rest of the crew to differentiate them from the CW and UW takes this is going to be a real treat. It's not at all what I expected to be looking forward to the most but I easily came away the most excited for him and the rest of the Stunticons, along with the Lazer Prime mold which is just a beaut all around.

    This list has kingdom and studio series on it. Are you sure this isn’t some leak thread in disguise? No other appreciation thread has crap like this.

    On to the actual appreciation, that Laser Optimus is sick.

    Anyone better at these things able to discern the size of Bulkhead's vehicle mode? Looks pretty big which is what I'm hoping for. I really like him, especially with what seems like space in the back of the vehicle mode but I have started limiting myself to toys with alt modes that pass a squint test in scaling with ER Optimus's cab (with exception to beasts and flyers.)

    The Dragstrip of this line is godly and I really like Arcee. Hope she gets a Flamewar out of her. I think the more blocky design will suit a brutish Decepticon very well and has a way to cheat my rule by hypothetically hiding in the inevitable Motormaster's trailer.
