We thank fellow Seibertornian Sol Magnus for letting us know of a new video review featuring the upcoming Transformers Legacy leader Laser Optimus Prime (G2 Prime). Comparisons to the Earthrise Optimus Prime toy show how only some pieces have been reused. However, it happens to be the same leg pieces from Earthrise Prime that included vestigial flaps from the Siege Optimus mold. You can also see a nice shot of Lazer Prime with G2 Megatron. These images come from the Prime vs Prime review.

Wait, is Laser Prime's Matrix a different mold too? It looks a bit taller than ER Prime's

Looks pretty nice and seems much more worth the money than ER/K Leader Optimus. But I think I'll go with the family and wait for the inevitable Select Scourge/Nemesis.

Confirmed what I thought all along. Shoulders are locked in place by transformation piece. That makes him an easy pass.
And I was hoping I was wrong. I wanted to want him bad.

Uh ... G2 Laser Prime is an all-timer. It's a mold that advanced articulation, but it didn't stop there. It had one of the most well executed light up gimmicks of all time, light piped eyes, working headlights and trailer that was a mobile arsenal with three different types of projectiles.
In other words, it was a toy that went above and beyond.
This just seems to be treading water. Instead of working missiles, we get panels on the shoulders that move up to reveal some clear plastic bits. No rifle, but a dumb looking shield thing. Kind of limited articulation in the shoulders and an overly complicated transformation.
I don't know, I was looking forward to this, especially after they hit it out of the park with stuff like Rodimus last year. Now I'm just a little disappointed.

I'll stick with G2 and TR. I might consider a toxitron repaint but the shoulder would need replacing some how so it is likely a pass at leader+ pricing.

Ok, is the shoulder pylon fixed in place, or the whole shoulder? I see rotational joints, plus a panel that flips up.

I think the shoulder pylon is fixed. The shoulder itself looks like it is made up of 2 rotating joints, with the part connected to the torso allowing the arm to swing forward and back, and the second joint allowing the arm to move outward away from the body. If that is correct, the fixed should pylon will limit the range of motion somewhat, and I suspect that is the reason for the flaps, to at least allow the arm to be positioned straight forward.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian D_Maximal Primal, we have word of a Twitter account (@QueenStodge) posting a picture of the first Wave of Legacy Voyager Class figures at retail in France. This marks the first worldwide sighting of this highly anticipated line. No word on whether or not any other figures in the line were sighted at the same store.
Check out the photo below, and let us know if you see Legacy figures in whatever corner of the world you're in!

Good to hear this line is starting to ship out already. I have Bulkhead and Arcee on pre-order from Hasbro Pulse UK with a shipping date of July, but if wave 1 makes it to the UK before then I'll cancel those pre-orders and buy them wherever they come up.

Apparently just the pylon with the missiles is fixed.
The shoulder itself under there appears to be a universal joint, that moves forward and back and out to the side. However both movements are limited by the pylon, which means you can't get it to hold his sword aloft and say "for the power of..." sorry got off track. Nor do the "pull sword out of his back" pose. Though the wrist would prevent the aloft pose anyway.
Outside of that, it looks like it has regular shoulder articulation.

Voyagers are 30 Euros in France?
Around the same price as Canadians and Americans. I expected the things to have the usual European surcharge. Interesting.

This is the type of figure that I want to like.
As much as G1 holds the corner of the nostalgia market for me personally, I'm open to other stuff.
And yet I still find that a figure like this Laser OP just doesn't deliver.
I think the overall look is alright.
From there, it's very mehhh...
And for being leader class, this is a really easy pass for me.
From what we know is confirmed from Legacy, my most anticipated (in this order) are:
Blitzwing
Motormaster
The rest of the Stunticons
Kickback
Blaster
Skywarp
(although with him the excitement really drops-off compared to the others. The list seemed so short I just threw him in there for grins)
This also may be all I purchase from this line.
Which seems bizarre after the last year and half to two...
My most anticipated overall is still without question, SS86 Sludge.

My wants for Legacy are slimmer than my Kingdom wants, but still not as few as my ER wants
-Motormaster+the Stunticons (and their hopefully inevitable G2 deco)
-Bulkhead (Wasn't a huge fan, but oh well)
-Arcee
-Laser Prime
-Blitzwing (And possibly the Overcharge repaint if it happens)
-Inferno
-Dragon Megs
The big maybes are
-Armada Screamer
-Jihaxus
-Skids
-Cybertron Metroplex
-POSSIBLY Knock Out (Depends what he looks like)
Hasbro's still getting my money, but I'm partially hoping the next line is less intensive on the wallet, especially with the price hikes

Now pretty much anything that would be on that is a “most likely not”.

If you get/have got the G2 coloured CW Menasor, you can have the best of both molds if you get the new G1 version. Perhaps the CW version gave the team not only new colours, but updated bodies too?

It's always a Gamble. While Kingdom Ark and CC Rodimus seem to have had plenty of stock and go on sale, the CC and Titans for both 2019 and 2020 all sold completely out without any sales, and the 2019 ones even got a 2nd run at full price because they were so popular.
I'm inclined to agree that a Cybertron Metroplex and CC MM probably will go on sale, but I could be wrong. Hasbro may be adjusting their expectations based on what happened in 2021 and producing this year's product in smaller quantities, so who knows.

Unfortunately that pretty much sums up my whole feelings about the mainline Legacy from what we know, and some rumors. I have none on my for sure want/pre order list. I would like to know more about the Energon Monsters talked about early on , whether they will continue the stylings of the weaponizers/modulators/fossilizers or not.
Other than that, if a figure actually "wows" me that I see in person I'll get it, if not, then I pretty much have zero plans for Legacy mainline at this time.

G1
Beast Wars
Prime
RiD 2001
Armada / Energon
Galaxy Force
I.D.W comics

Even the Japanese G1 continuity could be separated.
Now, if only there could be a GOOD Legacy cartoon that show all those universes clash. 50 episodes, 25 minutes each.

Is that a separate universe from G1?
Nope.
Well, yes and no. The G2 series took place continuity-wise after Marvel G1, but IDW later did Regeneration One, all written by Simon Furman (and dealt partially with multiversal issues).

Yeah, but this isn't a difference between cartoon and comic. This was the comic book version, continued as G2. Then, much much later, Regeneration one is ALSO the continuation of the comic book version wiping out everything that happened in G2. G2 is like a splinter timeline.

Best Hasbro can offer is 8 episodes of standing around and half an episode of plot that makes less sense than Bayverse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Completely understand...
Other than SS86, ER was closest to making me feel excited about TF since CW & UW...
But really ER, Kingdom, and now Legacy-- it's not excitement about the line, it's excitement about individual figures.
And I'm betting that's how the next 2-3 years and the end of my collecting days finish-out.
Even though I'm not really excited about Legacy, I am glad that the mainline is branching-out a little bit.
It will be interesting to see how this line does, who ends up being a shelf-warmer, etc.

Unfortunately that pretty much sums up my whole feelings about the mainline Legacy from what we know, and some rumors. I have none on my for sure want/pre order list. I would like to know more about the Energon Monsters talked about early on , whether they will continue the stylings of the weaponizers/modulators/fossilizers or not.
Other than that, if a figure actually "wows" me that I see in person I'll get it, if not, then I pretty much have zero plans for Legacy mainline at this time.

And it's more like Regeneration One is the splinter timeline since it came second and ended with Rodimus Prime cutting itself off from all other timelines and universes to keep the world of RG1 isolated and split off from all other worlds.

Yeah, packaging is pretty awesome, but this might be the line I get the least of stuff.
I think what I will get is:
Blaster (if I can't find the kingdom version first)
Iguanus
Skullgrin
Dragstrip
Kickback
Wildrider
Tarantulus
Cracnkcase
Deadend
Breakdown
Jihaxus
BW Inferno
Blitzwing
BW TM2 Megatron
Motormaster
The ones I might get are the energon monsters, Elita 1 and Knockout

You guys really make things too complicated
Still, makes you wonder how Hasbro will market him. Laser Optimus Prime debuted during G2 and the Legacy one is marked as "G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime" on Pulse while the box left the "G2 Universe" bit out. Mind you, Generation 2 not a true universe, but more of an evolution of the original toy line and Marvel Comics. A true G2 cartoon does not exist.

Wouldn’t that be fun, though? A G1 sequel series that starts up after the events of “The Rebirth?” Cybertron was restored to its former glory, but the Deceptions are still out there somewhere. There are still plenty of characters to explore beyond the standard 1984 - 1987 crew. MOTU Revelations was pretty well done as a successor to the original Filmatiom cartoon. Let’s see Transformers do that, but with a mostly “new” cast.

I've wanted this for ages. They could use this story to eventually show how the Beast Wars era came into being. We've both really had a true origin story for it yet; usually it's just been the Maximals and Predacons simply being "there", alongside the existing TFs. I would love to see how things developed between G1 and BW (moving onto Car Robots, and integrating that continuity too) which could be s four story ark of BW, BW2, BWN and Car Robots (all "timey-whimey"), some time after The Rebirth (and maybe they got it "wrong" and the REAL "Rebirth" is the beast era?). Of course, I'd be happy for that conclusion to come much later in the Rebirth story, with Galvatron's adventures aboard Scorponok, etc being first and foremost.

I've wanted a genuine sequel to the Marvel/Sunbow original animated series for years, but doubt it will ever happen. I've adopted Headmasters-Victory as my "official" seasons 4-6.
As for MOTU Revelation (no "S")---sorry, as a Bible reader, that's just a pet peeve of mine, I hear and see it incorrectly often...), Kevin Smith falsely advertised it as something it wasn't. The animation looked amazing, but the story was pure garbage.

I plan on getting all of wave one, but I don't intend to pay full price since that's the wave that tends to be the best stocked and most likely to get reduced on Amazon. Of course there's also the chance that Walmart and Target wont be selling at MSRP in the first place as they tend not to.
