    Personally, I like it. Not enough to double dip, though.

    Now I\'m glad I skipped the original version of this mold. That deep red is really doing it for me.

    Total garbage. Zero interest. Make the pink Movie colored one or don’t bother. SS86 color scheme is way nicer.

    It’s neat but not worth a double dip. Pass

    No subline with Hauler can be a disappointment.

    So boring.

    Only reason I’d consider getting it would be to go with toy-inspired Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Sweep-as-Scourge. Not sure that’s a compelling enough reason, though…

    Seriously! I’ve wanted Hauler forever.

    I liked the first Velocitron wave. Diaclone, IDW, E-Hobby, and Cybertron homages all crammed in with a classic (if annoyingly hard to acquire) minibot? Worked for me.

    Was hoping for some chrome, but it looks nice enough. Might pick one up wuth some extra cash.

    It's disappointing, the box art and deco feel really cheap

    The most interesting thing about this lackluster of a repaint is that the packaging uses the core class Rodimus pics.

    the minimum they had to do was throw in a chest sticker and some new box art

    I’m hoping we’ll get thrown a curveball and get a new mold for the leader class. However, it will probably be a slightly different preexisting mold like Hotrod.

    Yep, first wave was probably better the main line of year one Legacy imo.

    Man, this is the first real miss of this sub line. Very similar to what’s already available, but more expensive with less accessories, less paint apps (except for the shins, I guess). A nasty orange hinge on the pipes in alt mode. They even messed up the packaging, one of this line’s main attractions. with the core class artwork. wtf?

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    Thankfully money saved however.

    This looks really bad. This is like the most half assed toy deco, you've lost 2 accessories in the process and yet you're still paying more than you did for the original. Yikes. This is just lazy, this screams "if you don't have the means to do it right then don't do it at all."
