The streams have definitely improved since they've been able to get away from the webcams and no mobile games, comics, robosen or any other filler. Good reveals, pretty much what I expected to see. The pipeline section was a nice idea, hope they can make that a regular feature. Toys then, RotB stuff I'm mostly not interested in, only one I really want is Battletrap, would love scourge but I hate the head design. Legacy: Crashbar, Shrapnel and Metalhawk are the standouts, Twincast also on my buy list. Skyquake looks cool but I'll wait for a Euro G1 version. Pipeline: Beachcomber and the next Junkion of course. Volvo prime in G1 colours, neat but I'd like to see a hero prime version from that mould.
Pretty sure these molds are first developed in Rhode Island before they get produced in mass overseas and these leaks are coming from stolen factory samples. Before sending them out to Vietnam or China put out a reveal. Then you beat them to the punch.
Doesn't change the fact that he wasn't part of the pipeline reveals which means there's a chance Hasbro won't be revealing/announcing him during the Wave 3 reveals and that TakaraTomy may do that instead which is my point.
Shrapnel: YES. Give it to me! Crosscut: Don\'t really have much attachment to the character but he looks nice Crashbar: Liking these new Junkions, Keep em coming Animated Prowl: Buy on sight, I love animated and I\'m glad theyre getting representation here in Legacy, Derrick J Wyatt would\'ve been happy Metalhawk: Another Japanese Character! At first I didn\'t like his jet mode but it\'s grown on me. Twincast: Blue Blaster, but comes with Rewind so definitely gonna pick him up when I can
Yeah Megs is almost definitely W3 (I can't imagine they'd do back to back uses of the Skyquake mold). Tbh I could only really pay half attention the stream so thanks! Wait you mean to tell me I can't get both instant and delayed gratification??? Hasbro won't design their reveal schedules around whether or not I have seen illegally bought goods??? How dare they??
I only come to the streams anymore to see the team talk about the figures they chose and designed and show the amount of love they put into them. I especially loved seeing them talk about how everyone has a different entry point to the brand and that gatekeeping is pointless. But my absolute favorite part was Evan saying Optimus was best as a firetruck in the middle of the Volvo partnership segment. What a king.
It’s definitely an acquired taste like I get he needs to be stable as a leg but fuck the torso bots look less compromised honestly. Might just wait out in dinoking, or grimmy will be the action master stand in.
really wish nem prime had his blaster but i love decepticons and core class! no news on a skywarp PR to go with the starscream PR. really want all the seekers in core....
Yep. If they're going to do these pipeline reveals that are names and art rather than figures you can almost certainly expect leaks of toys to be MORE common because now general audiences know specifics (not everyone who watches streams pays attention to leaks) so there's a broader audience/demand for advance pics. I also don't think leakers had pics of Needlenose connected to Skyquake nor have they shown Freezer attached to Scourge.
Core Class Arcee its everything well done in a core class figure and I need Hasbro making at least FIVE redecos: Flamewar, Movie Chromia, Elita-one, '07 Arcee and Energon Ariel. I think Devcon its a remold from Scourge and customizers will be crazy because many of them already try it. But wait, if they gonna remold that Prime as Hero Prime and they are gonna sell us Armada Megatron, its obvious for me that this Megs its gonna be Hero Megatron.
Do you really think Hasbro would shell out the cash for an all-new mold of a guy who wasn't in the cartoons? I mean sure, it's possible, but not for a Leader-class.
Still going in on the ROTB stuff so it's good that there's hardly anything from Legacy that I want. All I'm getting from this new wave is Grimlock, Prowl, and Skyquake. The rest I could care less about.
No, everybody keeps misinterpreting the Evo Poster. Armada Prime isn't coming through a portal to join the fight, he's backing away through it. Looked at everything going on and just went "Nope".
