Generations have been trilogies since Combiner Wars.
Legacy is Chapter 1 of the new trilogy. So the theme may be the TF Multiverse. We can expect anything for the next 3 years.

And it's probably just because he was the 1st transformer that didn't transform, so it's hard for me to grip that mentally (I'm so trying to like the vehicle) but the robot mode is great. Lastly, I REALLY want that key an vector sigma, especially since the stunticons are almost complete.
Oh and I TOTALLY forgot that Megatron was released, it is so horrible looking. I will always keep the Netflix version over that one.
But I'll be buying the set just for the key an vector sigma.

Year one is Legacy.
Year two is Legacy.
Year three... we don't know if there will be a year three but if there is one it will be Legacy.

We've been told several times now that Legacy isn't a trilogy, we weren't even sure originally if we were going to get more than one year. Ignore the "Ev" on the listings, it's on the listings for the first year figures, too.

Starseeker wrote:Unrelated but just a random thought: I wonder if we'll ever get a hate plague collection within Legacy at some point. They can re-issue a bunch of figures but decked out in red translucent plastic. Rodimus, Magnus, Galvatron, Cyclonus, the Predacons, the list goes on. Then Optimus in a deco resembling when he coats himself in the metal to get the Matrix from Rodimus.
Tell me that wouldn't be cool!

Remember you are one of the 1% of the Seibertronians who actually likes that figure. Things cam get brutal here.

Maybe in your own mind.
The ER Arcee mold was liked enough to be released twice, repainted once, and to be fused with the old T-30 mold.

Don't think what YOUR tastes are the same as everyone else's.

I think they are more parroting what others have said, as Rodimus Prime himself said he was 1% that liked it (tongue in cheek) hence the what was said

Quick question...at 11:35 in the background he has some sort of black truck as the chest for CW Menasor. I know CW Pipes and Huffer we're retools of a Legends Class Optimus Prime. But I don't think they made a Nemesis version did they?

...update

NM, I answered my own question

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... me/3425/1/

I wasn't aware of this toy. I did the same fanmode using CW Huffer as the chest for the Wreckage combiner, and Pipes as the Chest for the Optimus Maximus combiner. If not for Blackjack filling that spot, having a tiny Nemesis Prime on Menasor looks pretty cool.

Lastly, BOTH Cybertron Metroplex' must have sold sometime this week at my closest Target, because they were gone. We'll see how many times he is restocked. It's a good start at least.

While the earthrise airlock ports on legacy metroplex have been known about for a while, I don't think I've seen any mention made of the fact that they are on flaps to make them have more a more roadlike connection! There isn't actually enough clearance to actually send most micromasters through the resulting tunnel due to protruding plastic bracing the mid shin connection; of the micromasters I have that weren't in deep storage, the siege police car and 4 earthrise racecar molds were the only ones short enough to fit. Other micromasters and/or older minicons might fit, but that's beyond my purview.

I have all three Arcee's. T 30, Earthrise (arcee, Paradon medic and elita) and the new SS, and no way is earthrise fused with the T 30 mold (I just looked at both side by side), if anything it is top T 30 and bottom new engineering and mold.

I'm getting confused myself. TFwiki just made me more confused.

It doesn't really matter. Refer to them however you want. They're toys.

And even if we do, can Hasbro make the vehicle mode still look like a blue Inferno? CW Hotspot's truck mode didn't really work.

Hotspot was a different style fire truck (and one I definitely saw more in 'real life'). I have the CW Protectobots, and they aren't the best, but they aren't the worst either. I probably would want Hotspot to just be Hotspot. Although the other combiners didn't have the 'frame' aspect of Menasor, I could see them still creatively implementing the same kind of transformation for all those guys.

I think when it comes to the turn of the other combiners, they'll approach each one as its own thing and design the combining system around that (while Menasor had lucky accident compatibility with CW, I bet the others won't even have that.)
However, if rumours are to be believed we might not be looking at another combiner till the line after next if they were to follow the stunticon pattern.

Yeah. I held up my plans for Unite Warriors Superion for the possibility, but he's back on the menu because I can enjoy a good two years before I need to think about replacing it.

Just buy the KO combiner wars, it's a lot cheaper and worth the money you pay!

I'm almost aghast to admit it, but I have the KO combiner wars Constructicons that are 'deluxe' sized and I can tell you they are just as good quality as the Hasbro ones, only smaller.
