    So if we get all the Insecticons it’d go something like this:

    Shrapnel, Bombshell, and Kickback will be general retail in either Legacy or SS86. If all are in Legacy they’ll come out one by one over the next three years.

    Their repaints Zaptrap, Salvo, and Shothole will be GS releases possibly sold as a set together in the last year of Legacy.

    Chop Shop, Barrage, and Ransack will be retools of the above and sold as store exclusives or GS.

    Venom will be a one and done mold.

    Venom might be a Bombshell retool.

    The new spear is much better than using Black Roritchi.

    When I first saw Siege Soundwave's alt mode, I thought casste deck area is the front because it looks like a republic police gunship from Star wars.

    Looking at that Arcee I’m still very hopeful we see Cybertron Ransack out of it. You know what would be a cool thing to for them to do that would appeal to, like, only me? If they made a deluxe class Cybertron Scattorshot and Repugnus and slapped them and Ransack GTS into a “Warriors from Three Worlds” pack like the one from I believe it was Universe08.

    Could this be a real thing for Legacy? Perhaps Selects line? (perhaps fake?)

    Pretty sure it's a custom.

    Doesn't have the red face.

    That thread was already closed. It's a custom. The 3rd party feet are an instant giveaway.

    Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Didn’t notice the feet. I sometimes see newsworthy things posted in groups here that are from some Chinese Weibo account or something.
    Thanks for the friendly confirmation.

    There is supposed to be a Diaclone Ironhide coming though. In Selects, theres a listing for a charcter with the name “Guard” and we don’t know who it is. I think it might be him, as two other Selects figures(Red Hoist, Blue Trailbreaker), are coming next year. Blue Bluestreak is coming as well.

    What do we know so far about the storyline of Legacy? Right now all I know is it has a mix of characters from different continuities.

    That's pretty much all anyone knows at this point. Considering the toylines themselves typically don't speak much towards a storyline we probably won't know what it is until we start getting promotional material from Netflix or whoever ends up making a show for it. That assumes of course that Hasbro bothers to have anyone make a show for it since nothing's been announced at this point. That said; considering they've been doing barely watchable low-budget shows since the Prime Wars Trilogy I'd say it's a safe bet that they probably have one coming and that they're likely going to stay with Netflix.

    If they can just get friggin' rid of F.J. DeSanto they can probably do something at least decent. He's the one common thread through all 6 shows.

    I have a feeling that not giving Legacy a subtitle might be in part so that any tie-in media doesn't have to be so time-constrained (or end up laughably late to the party). So we can get a "Legacy" cartoon whenever and they can just say "based on the Legacy toys, in stores now" and not have to worry about it being tied to a specific sub-branding.

    And lets be real, the subline titles didn't always line up with all the toys anyway (and that's fine). The less hamstrung the fiction is with meeting toy-related deadlines, the better.

    So what has everyone pre-ordered from Wave 1? Dragstrip was the only one I bothered with, since I'm sure these will clog shelves for months like Kingdom wave 1 did, but I'm not risking missing any parts for Menasor.:) 
    I wouldn't get my hopes up, Netflix is way too stingy. And I wouldn't be surprised if a Legacy show would end up just being a continuation of where WFC left off, since there were a few 'cliffhangers' left when Kingdom wrapped up, mostly involving Unicron.
