    If we bring back legends can we just call them scouts again? Because legends created the whole legend legion class confusion
    I still think selling micromasters and legends in the same pricepoint is the best option

    I think WFC Legends/Scouts would be about £11-13 if they where to include a Micromaster or some effects. I for one would welcome there return, have bought a Generations Legends I didn't think was great yet.

    I always felt Legends was also confusing as to me something called LEGEND class conjures images of someone big and well, legendary, not the smallest Transformer size class.

    Seems like that Skywarp package will have something to say about that.......

    Skywarp comes with, I believe, 3 different Targetmaster repaints.

    Do the firedrive and caliburst/aimless/whatever that mold is have any names yet?
    Have they been called nightstick and fracas?

    Yep. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Doesn't even make any sense when he can only hold two of them.
    And if they are Fracas and Nightstick that would be even worse.

    If it is nightstick does this prove that skywarp was cyclonus all along?

    It’s not that bad compared to well, if you wanted the clones without any of the others in the two TR boxsets. The thing I’m annoyed about is this may be the second time that hastak start a group of characters and decide to shove the last couple of guys in an exclusive set

    to be fair, it did start out as "Legends of Cybertron" and encompassed most of the main cast.

    Yeah. The TR boxsets were worse. But that hardly makes this better.

    the only other option would be more repaints in the mainline and then you would have everyone complaining like they did during combiner wars and that would ultimately mean less product on the shelves

    It’s 60 bucks compared to like...100? 200? I forget how much those thing sell for. Skywarp should of probably been a retail release along with the targetmasters. But the price isn’t that bad, compared to like only buying computron to get scrounge or only buying the Tr boxsets for fastclash and pounce

    The thing is...the combiner limbs were deluxes. I don’t think many people would be too mad about a couple repaints of 5ish dollar figures.

    they retailed for $100-$120, just like the combiner box sets

    people complained about the deluxes, people complained about motormaster and optimus sharing a mold, about silverbolt/cyclonus/scattorshot sharing a mold, about megatron/armada megatron, about the seekers.

    it doesnt matter what the size class is, the most ignorant and entitled among the fandom will always complain about repaints. and again, more repaints in the main line means less product, because then there wouldnt be a need for lines like generations selects, store exclusive figures or the 35th anniversary subline.

    hell people complain that caliburst is a repaint of blowpipe and that aimless is a remold of blowpipe. people complain that not all of the micromasters are unique molds as well

    Just expect a bunch of individual loose Targetmasters to pop up on eBay as people unload the figures they don't want.

    huh, I’ve never actually come across these people maybe it’s because up until recently I haven’t been fully apart of the transformers community
    What exactly is accomplished if all of the micromasters are unique molds Anyway? They are tiny and hard to tell the diffrence since they all transform similarly

    I bought some extra Target master thinking parts were swappable to do customs, and they have different size pegs on the shoulders, hips, and guns connections.

    oh im in agreement, i love creative remolds and repaints (looks at my profile pic and name :p  ) but some people just like to complain

    the blowpipe/aimless/caliburst mold can be limb swapped as they all have the same torso, firedrive is the only humanoid one that is different
