I always loved Wheelie and Cosmos, especially Cosmos. I would LOOOVE a Deluxe or bigger version of Cosmos. Maybe some day...

I demand a Leader class Cosmos that can hold Legends class figures, so I can recreate Cosmos' classic moments.

Mainly getting shot down and spending the episode unconscious.

I'm into all 4 of these.

I'm not big into legends, but I did pick up Jazz & Hound and they are great! Rodimus can hang with them. I have them around the feet of my planet-formers, and they are being chased down by tank Galvatron. Great scene.

I like the former mini-bots as legends, it's perfect.

I would like them as scout class too.

I'm not so into upscaling, but if they are resized like powerglide, they can go with my Alts.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about Warpath--he's awesome! Looks like he might be the most articulated Legends yet. Having in a pre-Earth alt mode was a stroke of genius on Hasbro's part--that means he can still be posed with the Deluxe and Voyager sized Classics and still be to scale with them. I will have him!

i really like this series all look better than iexpected to look i dont understand the whooe rodimus thing being in the set though but ill get all all 4 im not big fan of minicons whcih is wht i like to call them they remind of them anyway.

Who is suposed to be Swindle?

Apparently it's the yellow helicopter. Lame. :\

I think that yellow fin on Cosmos' alt mode is going to be his "tail" in bot mode =P

As for Bruticus, I bought Energon Baracade a while back on clearance at a KB Toy outlet and I was going to track down the other figs but then found out there are only 2 different figs that are just repainted for the other combiner parts.

Does anyone else feel ripped off that this is happening with the combiners now? I'm lenient on Superion cause most planes look very similar but for Bruticus, just the main guy and 2 helicopters with same mold and 2 tanks with same mold?

Everything else about the Transformers line seems to get better but the combiners suck, each limb should be different like most of the originals. Even the newer Devastator had doubles in parts.

Maybe having a jeep, space shuttle, helicopter and tank are all too disproportional but still, I think they could have thought of something better.

I really really hope the new combiner in TF2 [if there is going to be one], doesn't reuse same vehicles for parts, it's cheap and boring.

I like the combiners that have 6 figs [different figs of course]

These are great! i'm not a fan of wheelie at all, but still he's a good toy. Hot Rod is good because I can use him with classics Optimus and make him a micromaster. Warpath looks great, and I'm digging the retractable cannon. And cosmos is awesome. I have to get these.

Seriously. What is up with Warpah's tank mode? I'm not very up on military vehicles but surely the original tank or something like it is in service. Unless it's been modernised for the hell of it.

alot of clasics have been

He's supposed to be a pre-Earth alt mode. Which I think is great, since now he can fit in with the Classics figures WITHOUT being disproportionately out of scale.

I'm liking Cosmos and Warpath. Not too sure hot I feel about another Rodmius when I already have like 3.

We already have a deluxe Hot Rod so why make a Legends class? Seems a waste of plastic, they should have made Huffer instead.

Warpath is awesome, he's the clear winner here. Wheelie's botmode looks cool, but the carmode looks too much like animated Bumblebee, should be more futuristic. Cosmos looks cool in both modes but i wish they did something about his arms, a bit too crooked s they are now.

Where did they say Warpath was supposed to be pre-Earth? ... I hate when that just becomes an excuse for an alt-mode that doesn't quite cut it. Like people who prefer to think of Universe Blaster being some sort of cybertronian spaceship thing rather than a failed stealth bomber.

Incidentally, tanks come in many different sizes, so a legends Warpath figure doesn't necessarily have to be out of scale. I remember seeing ones at a castle in eastern Europe that were smaller than the average car(!).

Too bad Cosmos doesn't have well defined hands.

I guess past experience has shown that Hot Rod sells.

I hope they do Huffer/Pipes and Windcharger/Tailgate at some point. Trouble with minibots is the more they do, the more people will say why didn't they do such and such. It's a nice gesture, but they don't want to restrict Legends class to just minibots.

I will definitely be picking up Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie. Don't really have a need for another Hot Rod since I already have the deluxe version. While I like the idea of the old minibots getting reimaged as legends class figures it kinds of bums me out, because it probably lowers the chance the characters will get larger class figures. Doesn't rule it out completely obviously since, ie: Hot Rod. I would really have liked to have seen a voyager Warpath and a deluxe Brawn.

I must say I was a bit thrown by Warpath when I first saw his pics a few weeks back, but I like him more and more everytime I see him. Particularly the retracting cannon - nice touch.

It's clear that it's his cybertronian mode since there are no earth tanks that look remotely like that. Plus Universe Blaster isn't a failed stealth bomber since he's a repaint of Cybertron Soundwave who was an cybertronian/alien bomber.

I guess my point was it looks less like an alien vehicle, and more like an earth vehicle that's not right. It should either be authentically earthbound or impressively otherworldly. If they want to do a Cybertronian form, fair enough, but be deliberate about it, don't come up with some halfway thing.

That's a fair call. I liked Animated Megatron's cybertron alt mode since it looked distinctly alien. But others disliked it for the same reason (because it didn't really look like anything in particular). But I apologise, I'm getting off topic.

I do think the new wave of Legends is a huge improvement and Cosmos, Warpath and Wheelie (along with Brawn and Beachcomber) will be the first legends class figures that I will pick up.

bruticus looks sick

Dang, Wheelie lookin good. I'd like a real version of that car. I would definately say that Warpath was WarWithin. What's up with Rodimus, his alternate mode looks like Armada HotShot.

I really like the looks of all 4 of these, for being Legens Class...
To bad Hasbro didn't step it up and make some of these at least Scout Class....

I'm fine with Rodimus being a Legends fig, he's had his share of attention,
but Cosmos and Wheelie (and Beachcomber) would've been perfect Scout figs...
And Warpath would've been a sick Deluxe figure.
