    Truly. You've only got to glance at the Legacy speculation thread to see how many of these clowns live in la-la land. Such a lot of unrealistic-to-impossible expectations/demands. Suuuuuuuure the next titan will be that one dude from the background of that one episode that you really like that turned out to be an animation error.

    Anyway, who wouldn't buy this (in brighter colours)? :D

    In protoman's most resecent transformers slag podcast he's posted that picture of badly Ms paint edited PrimeVsPrime because PrimeVsPrime "steals" toys for early reviews and has posted a review of scourge. Not wanting to get into a debate about all that but using the guys actual photo well it's certainly out there I'll say that much

    Yeah, it's bang out.

    The hate towards this fella absolutely stinks. He's doing nothing that hugely lauded reviewers of yesteryear didn't do to claim their patch and one look at the history of his channel demonstrates how he grafted his tits off for years before adopting this approach, building up his following by doing Bayverse reviews and stop motion shorts before seeing a hole in the G1 market and readily exploiting it.

    At the end of the day, he's got good business sense, delivers a great look at upcoming figures and is winning at the YouTube game. Fair play to him.

    And if it was hurtin' Hasbro at all, they could just smash him with a DCMA takedown.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's an unofficial official channel but I'm fairly sure he's a part of the ecosystem Hasbro are well aware of.

    It's free marketing. I get it takes the wind out of their sails at times but it's still hype. And hype sells.

    Even if you’ve seen this image ten times today - your day will only get better by seeing it again.

    Yep, it may not be the deco that some people were hoping for but it is indisputably beautiful and feels just right for Legacy's packaging aesthetic. Too much pink? I say MOAR hot pink!

    Sold! Any chance to bring back some RiD15 cons!

    He just wears it so much better than Laser OP. Seeing them side by side, the latter just pales - quite literally - in comparison.

    Personally, I'm waiting for the Bayverse Galvatron repack. So glad they got the transformation screen accurate

    Not 100% happy with Scourges paint, it does look good though. I just can’t wrap my head around some of the choices they made. I couldn’t place what was so off about it and I realised it was the black chest piece with the pink windows instead of the grey and black robo pecs despite the obvious translucent plastic on the shoulder parts. Allegedly a reference to the old Classics/RTS Tokyo Toy show repaint I think of Scourge from the mainline G2 Prime with the awesome transforming sword.

    Saw this edit on Instagram and this looks way better. I’d have to commission mine out to get painted up like this. Maybe have the missile flaps silver like G2 Prime has instead of the black but that teal is in all of the right places.

    Have to admit the PVP slander is out of order though, fine in jest because it does take away from Hasbro revealing it all themselves and the mystery of new product but I think what proto did was definitely in bad taste.

    I do wonder, if in 30+ years time, people will argue that they want their Blaster toys to look like this, as that is how he appeared in the film? :p
