At first, all Masterpiece Transformers figures look like magic. But then you see different angles and slowly you can see the compromises done to turn this into an actual physical figure. Well Rhinox looked like pure magic once again, so the big question was: how does the back look like? Well, not bad as it turns out. There is a backpack, which he should have, but it looks clean for what it is rather than a mess of parts. You can see for yourself with these images from Takara. The side view of the rhino mode does look more messy with some robot bits peering from the bottom.
Listings from Japanese retailers at their discounted retail price, like $165 USD at Ami Ami are now up. We'll update when Amazon Japan has a similar price.
Takara has its big reveal day today, and that includes their next Beast Wars Masterpiece figure, Rhinox. The reveal was done through Dengeki Hobby. You can see the images below which look like pure magic once again (with lots of paneling as well). The 35,200 yen price puts him around the $230 mark, including taxes. We'll see what Hasbro sells it for domestically on Pulse. The toy is set for an end of June 2024 release.
Great day for Beast Wars fans, as they get updates to classic characters in 2 different lines. Thanks to some small pictures showing upcoming products released by Takara, we see an image of Masterpiece Rhinox and Legacy United Silverbolt. While the images are small and we can't make out all details, from what we can tell they look exactly as themselves, for their respective lines. You'll let us know what you think!
It seems like almost the entirety of the Legacy Evolution line is now available in some form or another, be it online or in stores. We are still missing a few, but with the recent sightings, we are now well into wave 4 of the Legacy Evolution line in terms of sightings. The wave 4 deluxes have now been found at the Plaza Bonita Target in California by ApocalypseThruster. Those are Detritus, Bombshell, Strongarm and Shadow Striker. This adds to the recent sighting of the wave 4 voyagers, Bludgeon and Trashmaster, at Gamestops in both the US and Canada. This wave's leader, Dreadwing has not appeared in stores yet, but is available at online retailers, like cdmstore.
You can see video reviews for all those figures below.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Bombshell completes the Legacy Evolution updates to the G1 Insecticons and I have to admit that I feel underwhelmed. Bombshell is a repaint/retool of Shrapnel and while it works well, I'm disappointed that we're denied three unique molds for the Insecticons. I do enjoy Bombshell and it's a worthy addition to your Insecticon army.

Imagine my surprise that our first experience with the SS86 Hound mold is Detritus here in the Legacy Evolution line. The mold is fantastic and the best modern Hound mold we've gotten, much easier to handle than the Masterpiece. While I can't say this is a must-have figure, if you want to experience the SS86 mold Detritus is a solid purchase, on sale, which will probably be before we see the release of Hound.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Shadow Striker is a great figure but there are lots of little things going on with it that might turn some people off. First, I feel labeling the figure from the Cyberverse Universe is a disservice as the use of this mold is clearly meant to homage the TFCC convention exclusive. That leads to the second point, this mold is meant for Robots In Disguise Sideburn who we know is coming at a later point. With that said I find it hard to recommend this figure since once Sideburn is released most of this version will become redundant.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:What some new parts and paint can do for a mold is fantastic. Elita-1 and Minerva were ok, but Strongarm is the best use of this mold. Outside of an entirely new mold, this is the best modern interpretation of Strongarm we'll get and it's my favorite figure of the wave.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's incredible how some different colors can make you appreciate a mold and realize what it's for. While we all thought that the mold was intended for Tarn, with these new colors and details of the mold pop, I believe that Bludgeon was the intended use all along. I also have to point out that a Voyager Transformer has enough articulation to do a proper two-handed sword pose, something that figures double or triple the price can't do. If you tend to favor Tarn then I'm not sure I can recommend the double dip, but this is the best Bludgeon figure since the original G1 mold.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's nice to see Hasbro reach across all Transformer lines for Legacy. Prime was an exciting show coming in the wake of the live-action movies. Skyquake and Dreadwing were two of the stand-out characters from the show and it's nice to see them in Evolution. The base mold that they share is meant to homage the Predator Skyquake, a character from the European Generation One period. Skyquake and Dreadwing are fun figures and either or both would fit well in your collection.

Takara has a bunch of new figures available for preorder today, and many include figures that are released by Hasbro. The upcoming Noah in Exosuit, released as a core class figure in Studio Series, shows us new functionality. We can see that the humanoid figure seperates from the plane, giving us a more accurate figure.
You can see it below along with new shots of MPM Bonecrusher, the Lunar Optimus, the Beast Wars Again sets and more.
Thanks to friend of Seibertron and regular reviewer Chuckdawg1999, we have a video review of the upcoming Legacy Evolution Wave 4 Deluxe Class figure Detritus! The main character to use the mold is Hound, revealed in store listings some time ago as a Target/Buzzworthy Bumblebee exclusive, but in an odd twist, we're getting Detritus first, and before Hound is even officially acknowledged or revealed by Hasbro. Detritus' original figure was an eHobby deco of G1 Hound, released in 2004. This figure takes the same idea as his previous figure, but this time, he gets a mass retail release and Chuck is here to show him off!
If you were to ask me to list 10 figures that I don't think would get updates in a modern Transformers line, Detritus wouldn't make the list because I just wouldn't think of it. Imagine my surprise that our first experience with the SS86 Hound mold is Detritus here in the Legacy Evolution line. The mold is fantastic and the best modern Hound mold we've gotten, much easier to handle than the Masterpiece. While I can't say this is a must-have figure, if you want to experience the SS86 mold Detritus is a solid purchase, on sale, which will probably be before we see the release of Hound.
There you have it! Are you planning on picking him up when he's released? Going to wait for Hound instead? Let us know your thoughts below!
Thanks to a notice from Seibertronian PrimeisBoss, we have news that ThreeZero has started showing off the next couple of figures for their DLX line.
ThreeZero to date has been producing a great line of figures for a Masterpiece-esque price that are extremely nice replicas of the live action movie bots. These include Optimus Prime as he appeared in his Knight-style body, Optimus Prime and Jetfire when they combined in Revenge of the Fallen, Bumblebee movie figures such as Bee and Arcee, and recently they have started into the Rise of the Bests movie, putting Optimus Prime and Bumblebee up for preorder, and teasing an Optimus Primal.
Well, thanks to the HK-TF 變形金剛香港網盟 Facebook group, we have images of their next round of figures. Here we see the prototype of Primal once more, as well as another shot of Prime, but we also get to see their newest reveals: Scourge and Mirage! Scourge ended up being an appropriately menacing villain, while Mirage turned out to be the main character and the heart of the film. Of note, this is only Mirage's 4th figure period, and only the 2nd using his final movie design.
We do not know when these figures will be going up for preorder, or indeed when we can expect colored images, but check out the prototypes below, and let us know what you think!
