First Look at Transformers Legacy Core Class Shockwave

So... That Shockwave can now join Titans Return Seaspray as your local pizza delivery boys.

Even if it wouldn't have really done it justice, I was honestly hoping it'd be Shockwave from the Unicron Trilogy. But I'll still probably pick this up as a cute "Mini Me" for the Siege Shockwave I've got anyway.

Do wonder if it can combine with the Leader Siege Shockwave in Battleship mode, other than that it looks promising (looks like he lost both arms in the process? )

Look closer, there’s clearly a hand holding the dish.

I hope they'll be able to sneak in a 5mm peg so he can be held as a gun. I have the PE upgrades for Bruticus and it doesn't allow TR Soundwave to be held without a cumbersome attachment.

But is it a full hand, or more of a claw like Energon Shockblast had? If so, they covered that homage twice, since the satellite dish could be seen as an homage to UT character's alt being a satellite. Or is the dish supposed to look like something more specific?

Looks like a proper right fist with a 3mm hole to me. I highly doubt it can turn into a gun, as the bot's chest is at the bottom of the space cruiser mode, and there's no hidden 5mm peg to flip out from the chest.

Theoretically Hasbro can design a flip-out 5mm peg at the back of the torso. But looking at the picture, in space cruiser mode the radar dish is pegged to the bot's back, meaning the 3mm hole would be on the 5mm peg. That's not gonna happen.

Anyone else notice the wing guns look suspiciously like Rumble/Frenzy's all the way down to how they fit on his back?

The direction the wing is swept is reversed though.

Prime vs Prime has now 3 "hidden" videos on is channel in the Legacy playlist. Maybe Shockwave is one of them?

I’ll never have enough mini-Shockwaves. He’ll look much better next to the other Core Class figures I’ve got than the Bumblebee inspired SS Shockwave.

Spark armor Shockwave isn't actually that bad. he has some nice sculpting, the best spark armor, and I even made him fan-mode into a cybertronian hover tank. Sadly no waist or head swivel, but still the most articulated that the other spark armor figures. Also slightly taller than core class because Cyberverse scale is weird.

He was talking about the Core class Bumblebee Movie Shockwave in Studio Series.

I know, just saying

Pictures have surface on the Chinese site Tieba of the second wave of Legacy core class figures found at retail. It is our first look at the entire wave in packaging, which includes Shockwave, G2 Megatron and Optimus Prime. Now that we know these are reaching retailers in the east, we'll see how long it takes to reach retailers in the west. Unlike the rest of wave 2, these have not been revealed by Hasbro. Most probably because these days reveals are accompanied by preorders. With these being more to provide a budget option to parents than complimenting the rest of the line in the same scale, the core class is seen more as shelf fodder than the other classes. Would you still want an official reveal from Hasbro if there is no accompanying preorder? And do you even need a reveal now that we have images of them found in the wild? Let us know!

They really could have done something special with the core Optimus repack, but the rest of wave 2 is neat.

Is the G2 megs a redeco of kingdom core class megs?

ZeroWolf wrote:Is the G2 megs a redeco of kingdom core class megs?

Correct.

Not only would I want a reveal, but I also want pre-orders too. The Core class is no longer priced as shut-up toys for kids, so they should be treated as the integral parts of a wave that they are.

They should've done Optimus in the other black deco so people could really get wound up.

So a G2 bonus themed megs gun form as well then?

From the looks of it, but that ruins the meta-ness of the figure; G2 Megatron is 100% like the original G2 figure, being a tank and all, with an added throwback to G1 that would have been perfect if that gun was colored grey.

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:They really could have done something special with the core Optimus repack, but the rest of wave 2 is neat.

They did: it's an homage to G2 Optimus Prime

Speaking of G2 Prime, I got mine in and it is awesome. When it was first shown I was super excited, then seeing how small the legs looked( I wanted them to look more like Legacy Bulkheads) and how the shoulder missle pods werent articulated, I didnt think I would buy one. Then after seeing a couple reviews, I changed my mind. He is pretty sweet and one of my top fav Prime designs. Also it ends up he is really posable and the shoulders dont hold him back. For sure gonna have to paint his eyes though.

I finally saw the Walmart BW Legacy exclusives in store today, still no Dragstrip unfortunately...

Wow, that's interesting. On my end its literally the opposite.

For me, it's somewhere in the middle. I see Drag Strip and Kickback coming and going. They'll be there one day, gone the next, back again, gone again, and so on. Meanwhile, my Walmarts have pegs for the Legacy Beasts, but are either always empty or have the wrong items put on them (like Vintage BW Cybershark or the normal Legacy Deluxes), but no Legacy Beasts themselves.

Today is the first time I saw the Legacy Beastie Boys as well, the pegs have been there for weeks but this is either the first time my Walmart has gotten stock for them or the first time I've managed to catch any before they sold.

I've searched for Legacy at 4 stores across 2 states and have seen the following so far:
Target in Washington: Arcee, Skids, Kickback, Bulkhead, Leaders, Exclusives (Silverstreak)
Walmart in Washington: Core Class, Voyagers, Exclusives (Beastie Boys)
Target in Idaho: Deluxes, Bulkhead (don't recall if there was stuff for Silverstreak)
Walmart in Idaho: Deluxes, Blaster (no pegs for Beastie Boys)

EDIT: Changed to include what I saw at Target today.

What's the opposite of the opposite?

Because the only Legacy I ever saw at my Walmart are the 1st wave of Cores and Bulkhead.

For me, there is Legacy's first wave at all my neighboring Walmarts, every character. Either they sell out and are restocked constantly or they simply are not selling (pretty certain it's the later).
But the Legacy beasts have not been seen in Canada yet.

Did they find a way to connect their weapons together for form a single massive weapon like the previous set?

Well my family finally found a Dragstrip, unfortunately there's a good reason nobody bought it:

Did you still get it though? I totally get it if there is something missing but if not and you are going to take it out of the box, does it matter?

What reason is that?

Is it just a beaten box?

ZeroWolf wrote:Is it just a beaten box?

Yes. My daughter was able to find another in tact however. I was more worried about missing accessories or the item itself being damaged which is being reported more often now. Yes opening it means no big deal for the packaging, but I don't like to mess with taking items back/ refunds if I don't have to.

I hate myself for getting this though, I said I wouldn't so many times. It pretty much guarantees a box set is coming now.

It's a noble sacrifice if it gets the boxset so many want just wait and see as it turns out to be a G2 or a reverse Masquerade version

An unchanged Menasor but cast as the original Autobots in that episode? Brilliant!

That ain't so bad.

My SS86 leader Coronation Starscream had its packaging COMPLETELY TRASHED.... shipped in a pristine Amazon box!
I was pissed because even the backdrop was trashed. At least not plastic was missing nor broken.

See? A lot of potential there Hasbro, you know what to do

FYI, Motormaster has been let loose in the wilds of suburban Australia.
Probably earlier than he should have been but eh, bring on the Big W Toy Sale.

Wow, same thing happened last year with Kingdom Rodimus...

Trying. Not. To. Do. Something. Stupid.....

The Commander class and Titan class release for the Transformers line tends to appear in the late summer/early autumn at retail. However, we do have some reports that Australia is getting their commander class figure early. Legacy Motormaster has been spotted at Big W stores in Australia. It is also on this store's website, where you can check for availability. This was reported on the Ozformers website and we thank our friend Burn for the tip.

EDIT: Halohunter 553 on Discord posted in hand pictures of his newly purchased Motormaster. This is our first good look at the scale of Menasor. Also, we see how much the Motormaster contributes to the overall combiner.

I'm hoping that gun tower can integrate into Menasor some how. I'm not a fan of not using all the parts.

o.supreme wrote:I'm hoping that gun tower can integrate into Menasor some how. I'm not a fan of not using all the parts.

I believe it transforms into a rifle for him. The top can definitely be used as a gun but I’m not sure where the rest of it goes.

Didn't realize how stubby his trailer looked.

I think you might be right. At first I thought it was just compressed to save space within the package but it looks like it might be the same on the back of the box...

We already had official images of how big the trailer was going to be

My bad for not paying attention.

All good. I'll be interested to see a pic of Motormaster, Rodimus Prime, Leacgy Prime and Earthrise Prime all lined up next to each other with their trailers.
