It’s all good. There’s so much to remember I wouldn’t sweat it.

 

I'm really annoyed by how Hasbro shows things off in this case. I want a good Menasor but I don't want to buy Dragstrip, Deadend and Breakdown then have Motormaster revealed and the combined mode be awful.

 

I wonder if we'll get G2 Laser Optimus in G1 colors for the Generation Selects.

 

I probably should've clarified:
The shin piece on ER Prime, and thus on Legacy Laser Prime, has a rectangular hole in the front, through which a portion of (one of?) the calf piece(s) pokes through. On ER Prime, that's how they do the shin vents. They're a separate piece from the rest of the shin.

 

Gotcha. Looked it up on KnowyourMeme, says "Thicc is a slang term used to describe the voluptuous, hourglass-like curvature of a woman's hips. Online, the term has seen widespread usage as a descriptor for images of bootylicious women, in the same vein of the slang expression "dat ass", and a popular subject of parody images featuring fictional characters from various media franchises." As for origins: "The term "thicc," derived from the English adjective "thick," first came into colloquial usage among urban youths as part of the African American Vernacular English in the early 2000s. Online, the earliest known mention of the word can be found on an Angelfire-hosted webpage[15] dedicated to more than a dozen of hip hop artists of that era and created on November 4th, 2004."

 

I would think so, the biggest problem with Laser Prime is how bland his colours are and a version of him in more normal Prime colours would be very desirable. I might even get it as well as Scourge.

 

I'm thinking that for this Arcee, since I don't like having two characters with the same name on my shelves, that I'm gonna make her Arcee's sister, aka, Rattrap's grandma. At least for my personal shelf. Either that or make her Arcee and Rodimus' "daughter" (yeah I know, but whatever. I always liked the backstory that Quickswitch was Sixshot's son, I just don't think about the specifics cause that ain't important).

I just need to come up with a good name.

 

He came out around the first of the month. They even put him on sale last week. Are you thinking of Barbecue?

 

I do feel like they kinda couldnt stop moving on from TFP phase, just look at Arcee and Bulkhead, Breakdown and Knockout, always got featured in IDW comics and its always the TFP version of it out of all version. 

Aside from that, i do wish to see some update from the studio that working on the new TF game. All we heard so far are all collabs. Whats the next collab, Fortnite again with the TF skins? 

 

It would've definitely fit the theme of the subline better. The only thing I worry about with Ransack from this mold is whether they could get his wide shoulder pads right, which are his most important feature to include IMO. It looks like it should be possible to add an extra piece on there that folds out for robot mode, but I can't tell if it would actually look good in either mode or not. But if they could do it, I'd buy it.

 

His planogram set date isn't until November, which is why you can't order him for store pick up even from a store that I know for a fact there's like six of him just hanging out randomly in the collectors section of electronics.

Barbecue also got delayed by Pulse, but I bet he'll be there in store soon enough.

 

Does that Dragstrip combine with the other Unite Warriors Stuntrons?

 

That is one thing I agree with. Honestly I’d love it if they made a new Cybertron Repugnus and Scattorshot and remade the Warriors From Three Worlds Pack!

 

Unlikely, he will probably only be able to combine with the upcoming Legacy Stunticons.

 

No, but it'll combine with the Legacy Stunticons that they announced today

 

Stalker from Red Alert would be a pretty cool idea imo.

 

A lot of weak sauce shown off today.

 

I like to think of it somewhat like how the new IDW canon does it. Each new protoform has a mentor (or 2 if their chosen mentor has a spouse) that effectively serve as their mom/dad. So Sixshot is Quickswitch's dad in a sense.

 

I just want to get my one minor gripe with wave 1 of Legacy off my chest. Feel free to disagree, but this is just how I feel about the choice in releases. We know this set is supposed to be a celebration of the entire franchise and will have new figures from just about every corner of the franchise’s history from G1 to Beast Era to Unicron Trilogy to Alligned, etc. And we as fans know from leaks that we should be getting some new Beast Wars and Armada figures, at the very least a new BW Inferno Armada Starscream are rumored.
I would have just liked to have seen more of that diversity in Wave 1 than just G1 characters and Prime characters. I know the rest are coming, but from a marketing standpoint, I just feel that throwing in more than just two continuities into the wave would have better driven that point home. I wouldn’t have even minded if Beast Wars was left out of wave 1 since we just had an entire line devoted to half G1/half BW, but throwing in at least one figure from the Unicron Trilogy I think would have really rounded this wave off in a good way.

 

Do you mean G1 Stalker from a hypothetical Cybertron Red Alert?
