In-Hand Images of Transformers Power of the Primes Legend class Windcharger, Beachcomber, Slash, Skrapnel

Agreed, Burn.

And I hear ya, Skritz! It took me decades, but I finally came around to lovin' the Pretenders.

Can't say I'm thrilled with the hollow heads. Usually a ball joint would be used to create a space in the head or in some cases they'd mold it in two pieces held together with a screw. I don't recall any CW or TR Legends having those empty spaces. Not a great spot to be cutting costs in.

Windcharger is starting to grow on me...

I would have said the same thing, then I saw the head again.

That is just one big blocky head.

Anybody got an extra set of Legends figures they just don't know what to do with?

So, ignor img the political nonsense...... a serious question about this Jazz controversy.


Do they all have the markings, and can I tell without opening the package? The one I bought yesterday, I decided to give to the kids for Christmas, so it is already in a downstairs closet. If it, however, does have the markings, and if that might make it rare or valuable down the road, I'm gonna hold on to it. Any speculation on that, or is it too soon?

You know, given the theory that we've already seen all three Leader-class molds I do have to wonder: could Optimus Prime and Optimal Optimus get some sort of repaint/retool, much like how TR gave us Blaster/Soundwave and Black Shadow/Overlord and if so who could they be reworked into? I find it hard to believe PotP's leader engineering would simply be just used for a recolored Rodimus with a new head. Granted its a cool-looking figure, even if I'll most likely pass.

While personally I'd love to see a fourth mold as Thunderwing and Star Saber its all speculation but it just bugs me how the PotP early waves of leaders are just Optimus Prime repack and a modified Rodimus. Granted I'm not sure who you could remold these guys as: Nova Prime seems a bit too ambitious barring total reshelling and Ultra Magnus already got a figure in CW. I'd be down for Thunderclash from the Optimus mold but I don't see how the 'power up' gimmick would work for him from a 'story' perspective.

Of course I could be entirely wrong and we really are only getting three and a half Leader-class figures.

Found the Legends class PotP figures today. Windcharger. Yuck. Skrapnel? Pass. I'll probably get the two-pack with Reflector.

Bought Slash and Beachcomber. Pics in a bit.

ScottyP wrote:Shrapnel has a darker purple than the prior Generations release, slightly lighter yellow paint (ymmv on that), and a barely different paint app pattern on the legs. Different enough for completionists to not hate themselves, not different enough for those with the old one to really worry about

How does he compare with TR Kickback and CW Bombshell? The lack of a clear chest can't be helped, but would you say he's a better or a even worse match to either one now? For that matter how does he compare to Takara Tomy Legends Kickback?

Nemesis Prime?

Skrapnel, Cosmos, Why do they keep reissuing older legends (without the accessories they originally came with)?

At least repaint them into someone new. Kickback could've been turned into Ransack AND would've been Primem Master compatable.

There was a bit of fanart/digibash I saw of an 'Armada Optimus Prime' redesign if the PotP Optimus Prime. I highly doubt we'd ever see this but it would admittedly be cool.

Found a video review of beachcomber and slash.





gotta say, beachcomber's transformation is a bit more complex than i imagined. Liking him now.

Firstly:

"We encourage any civil political discussion to take place in this other thread, and keep the responses to this story specifically about the toy and the Power of the Primes toyline."

Kudos to Seibertron for finding a great way to accomodate ways for different people to comment on different aspects of the same story! THIS is how you do it, other TF sites! Take note, please.

Anyway, I wonder if the "political Jazz" will become rare and thus collectible in the future. I suppose it could be assimilated/retconned into canon in some sly, acronym used in a future IDW comic? Either as repossesing it for something other than the original meaning, OR as a negative idea, somehow branded or graffitied onto Jazz against his will or while unconscious, etc?

At this point, who knows? I picked one up today, but I previously wasn't planning on getting him.

Now that he's in hand, I must admit I dig that headsculpt. The alt mode is decent.....hmmm...I haven't decided if he's getting opened or not.

Swoop's a keeper, though.

Well, I had a beer and opened Jazz. He has the markings, but I gotta say, as a figure, he really sucks. This is a lame toy and I'm ashamed to own it.



Then I had another beer and opened Swoop. Holy shit, but this dude is awesome. Great figure, and an amazing update of the classic Dinobot. I'm very happy to own this guy.

I had another beer, but still haven't opened Slag yet.

Nemesis Prime?

Pretty sure Warden doesn't like Nemesis Prime/Scourge. We got a bunch of them in the Archer days, but I don't think we've gotten a single one since Warden took over despite many opportunities. We got Primitive Prime back as SDCC, but that's not quite the same, I'm pretty sure they didn't design that paint scheme alone.

I still don't get why everyone's knocking Windcharger.... His head is pretty spot-on for G1 imo... Sure... the previous legends may have looked "cooler" or "more interesting". But going back to his roots... he was a literal blockhead. I personally like it, though I've always liked windcharger (and brawn).

I posted in the sightings forums for California; but I picked up deluxes and legends before work today in San Jose and Santa Clara. I can confirm at least a half case of each remaining.

I'll get pics up tomorrow/Monday. But those that have her... are you a little shocked at how small Slash is?

Thanks to several Seibertronians, such as bacem, for pointing out to us that we now have reviews for Transformers Power of the Primes legends class Beachcomber and Slash. Both are part of the first wave of legends class toys and have appeared at Target in the US (and no where else in the world so far). They both come two per case, as can be seen in an image of an opened case below. Their wave mates are Skrapnel, a slight redeco of the previously released Generations Skrapnel, and Windcharger, who is a completely new mold. All new molds can have a Titan/Prime Master pilot them.
If any of you find thse interesting and hope to find one at Target, please check this article which specifies the product (DCPI) code for the class and how to use it to check if those products are in stock.

He had a square head, but he also had a lot of face and neck details as if he was wearing a hood, he wasn't a face sticking out of a cinder block.



The previous two Windchargers got it right, this one looks like it was sculpted by memory with no references.

bought the whole case?! I felt bad having them get them out of the back room =/. I couldn't bring myself to clean out a case =(

SpikeyTigertron wrote:bought the whole case?! I felt bad having them get them out of the back room =/. I couldn't bring myself to clean out a case =(

AFAIK, these aren't supposed to be out on the floor yet so buying a case is probably better for the Target Team Member so they won't have to put them back in the stock room.

That's a point good point. I just feel bad cleaning places out of stock. Is there actually a "street date" for these? I've noticed that BBTS and TFSource haven't gotten any postings yet.

Maybe Hasbro really wants to hold them for the 24th... but that'd be a nightmare for a regular person....

The street date thing is really hard to tell, especially since the implementation has not been consistent, at least from a consumer point fo view. Usually, street dates are only for movie products since they have to be out at a particular time when linked to a film. There was in fact a date written on the cases of wave 1 TLK products. So if there truly is a street date, then it would be written on the cases people have been taking pictures of but I dont see any.

As for buying the whole case, when I trouble someone to get toys out in the back, I always hope to be able to buy as many toys from that case as possible to show that their effort was worthwhile. Thats why combiner wars was so fun. The deluxes came 8 per case and since me and my friend both wanted to complete whichever combiner it was we would just buy the whole case.

Are you sure? I remember someone at BBTS telling me that (TF Source?) had a habit of selling/pre-ordering stuff before then as BBTS honoured the official release date?

True again. I guess part of me doesn't like circumventing the idea of "regular people" getting product... but I know we're also in a world where ppl will poach all the Cogmen and double the price leaving the rest to rot. I got a feeling Jazz and Dreadwing are gonna be clogging pegs. Hell... I still haven't seen wave 2 movie figures (let alone 3) on the West Coast. So the idea of someone else cleaning them out *before* anyone else getting a chance bugs me a bit.

Though also... I think stores would do better if they took a minute to realize some figures are clogging pegs and just rebox and ship them out (to discount chains or however they deal with that). Keep the product fresh and rotating.

Got these with Beachcomber and Slash today.

is dinobot slash somehow a part of volcanicus in any way like how legends class groove was a part of defensor? it would seem odd to have this other dinobot that is a dinobot team member that isnt part of volcanicus

Rysquad wrote:Got these with Beachcomber and Slash today.

It seems that Hasbro has made errors on these cards, by repeating the same ENGLISH phrase on some cards, instead of the translations into other languages. This was shown in that video review of (Slash), some posts above.

I really like the mold, but I think I remember hearing something about a rumored Tailgate in the line later on... If Windcharger gets a nice new Tailgate head and colors I'll gladly buy one, but I agree that the Windcharger head is a bit clunky. Wait, see and hope, I guess.

When I took my trips to Target, the gentlemen who helped me with the Deluxes and Legends said that they were told to put them out at end of November but if they were in the system that they could be taken out early and given to whoever asks for them.

Have any Titan Masters, Voyagers, or Leaders been seen in the US yet? Strikes me as strange that the deluxe would trickle out first.

I was able to use the codes and ask a Target Employee (Janesville WI) if they had any in back. The brought out a case of 8 Deluxes. I got 5 of them, and another lady got the other Slug. I got one of each deluxe and a extra swoop for my daughter. (It was their Saturday toy sale for 25% off also)

We got two different power of the prime cards with swoop. So like earlier reports they are random.

I did notice in the instructions for Swoop for forming Volcanus they mention a "coming mid 2018" mention for Sludge and Snarl, but nothing noted on Grimlock.

SpikeyTigertron wrote:Have any Titan Masters, Voyagers, or Leaders been seen in the US yet? Strikes me as strange that the deluxe would trickle out first.

Not yet. I’ve been periodically checking that inventory checker with the DCPIs of the other size classes but nada.

Doesn’t surprise me that much. Deluxes are generally the forefront and most common size class out there.

Everharm wrote:I did notice in the instructions for Swoop for forming Volcanus they mention a "coming mid 2018" mention for Sludge and Snarl, but nothing noted on Grimlock.

That is because Grimlock is in wave 1 just like Slug and Swoop and in theory should be on the shelves at the same time. Sludge and Snarl are in Wave 2, so they are shown in the instructions before they will be available, hence the reference to mid 2018. We will see the same thing with Hun-Gurr and Rippersnapper being in wave 2 and the other 3 Abominus limbs in wave 3.

I believe this also confirms that so far, Volcanicus and Abominus are the only 2 set teams of combiners, and Starscream, Elita-1 and Inferno are extra torsos with Jazz, Dreadwind, Blackwing, Moonracer and the others from the leak are extra limbs for mix and match play. I'll be interested to see if they even give the torso's combined mode names like CW did with Galvatronus (Cyclonus) and Betatron (Shattorshot).

So, I went to a local Target yesterday. I had already seen the new PotP deluxes (well 2 of them), at the one near a mall where I live, but the Brickfinder app said they were now out of stock, but another store across town had them.

When I got to Target, I basically just wanted to show them to my son, since he understands we are waiting on . However when I got there, they were advertising a 25% off ONE DAY sale on all toys, so I figured for that proce, what the heck, we can get a couple. The pegs were filled to capacity however wit that awful wave 4 revision.

I waited a while to try to find an employee I thought would be competent/understanding enough to look in the back for me. One employee actually asked if he could help me, then I made my request. He then referred me to the "toy expert" (some guy stocking shelves that didn't even have anything indicating he was a Target employee)...

I asked him, explaining fully that these were NEW Transformers that were probably in the stock room. He just dismissed me with a "nope were cleaned out..." WTF??? Your shelves are full of deluxes that aren't moving at 25% off...that should tell you something right there.

My wife said I should have asked a manager. I probably should have, but I was so upset at the time I said screw it. If they don't want my money, I don't have time for them.


Bad customer service aside....I do hope that we see a fan-mode sometime that is able to integrate slash somehow into Volcanicus whether as part of him, or as an accessory.

Also I still think there is a chance we will get the rest of the members for the Starscream, Inferno, and Elita-1 teams in later waves. If we get a minimum of 5 waves in this line (really hoping for 6), then that's at least 10-12 deluxes that have not been revealed yet, enough to finish those other teams. I mean I'd rather have Piranacon and Monstructor (or Dinoking) in later waves...but I'm actually hoping they are made into box sets, and the rest of the regular deluxes come as regular retail.

YAY, my Target unpacked their Legends!And I'm lovin SWOOP.

Remember you socialist morons, without capitalism Hasbro would NOT exist

How about I skipped it simply because it paled in comparison to RTS Jazz... Not that I really need your approval for skipping this figure in the first place.

Comments like your's turn people off who actually didn't care.

Different stores, different treatment. For Walmart, Target, TRU and any other big box stores these things are quite literally delivered by the trailer load to their respective distribution center warehouses. This stuff has to be handled well in advance to assure it gets into the individual stores across the country at a reasonable time. From there it's up to the corporate offices to decide when they actually go on shelves unless there's a specific street date. Usually they don't care, but in this case it sounds like Target wants the stores to hold off on stocking these until Black Friday so there'll be plenty of new inventory on the shelves.

On the other hand you've got smaller stores like BBTS and TFSource which are given the same treatment as your local comic shop. Hasbro has a specific start date for when they start taking orders and while there still isn't a street date per se, everything is shipped out to the shops at the same time so it all arrives within a day or so of each other. This gives the appearance of a street date, but it's more like an arrival date as they usually go up for sale as fast as they can get them unpacked and into the warehouse.

Hope that cleared things up.

Courtesy of our regular source of not entirely through the right channels news, Weibo account tf-factory, we have some scans of the instructions and cross-sell images for the Transformers: Power of the Primes line, and mostly its combiners. These are the images showing with limb is 'meant to' attach to which torso - from a purely marketing and distribution strategy, as the scramble city deployment is still in effect with this line, and you can make up your gestalt with whomever you choose, of course.

From the looks of it, the Terrorcons almost get a dedicated schematic, with Inferno and Moonracer joining Cutthroat, Sinnertwin and Blot, while Hun-Gurr, Sinnertwin and Rippersnapper hang out with Duocons Blackwing and Dreadwind; Grimlock is then joined by Jazz and Dreadwind, while Slug and Swoop go out on a limb; Starscream so far includes Jazz, Slug, Dreadwind and Swoop; and Elita-1 is joined by Dinobots Sludge and Snarl, plus Jazz and Moonracer. Check it all out below, along with an extra shot of Dreadwind's instruction sheet.

"Duocon" Dreadwing? I guess every two-piece Decepticon combo is a "Duocon" now.

Note that some are from the European versions, with the Dutch still as horrific as ever

And now we get the video review of windcharger.



personally, i don't mind his head actually, it doesn't look that bad. And he actually looks fun to transform too.

Haven't seen them yet.

Once more via fellow Seibertronian bacem, we have a video review of the third member of the Autobot side of the first wave of Transformers Power of the Prime appearing at US retail this week: Windcharger! An old favourite of previous toylines, namely Reveal the Shield with the Scout class gems, then again to less success in Combiner Wars, Windcharger had a small spotlight in the IDW comics prior to the Dark Cybertron event (as a member of the X-Men Outliers helping Orion Pax), and is now back in plastic form in this new toyline.

Compatible with Prime Masters and Titan Masters alike, you can check out the clip embedded below, via YouTube reviewer Long's Toys. Reviews of fellow Legend class wavemates Beachcomber and Slash can be found back in this news post here, too. Enjoy!

Damn that sucks. Next time do what I did. Dont tell them what the item is....just give them the DCPI code and let them type it in their little gizmo thing they carry. It worked for both deluxes and legends for me and both times they went to the back and pulled them.

Does Blackwing do anything different than the original Aerialbot? In Dreadwind's instructions there's no mention of the double combination.

Also what is this Brickstreet app and is it Android compatible

Yo yo. Real quick guys.

I was just adding my sightings to the sightings section, and noticed there was a Rippersnapper sighting.

Can we, like, get some confirmation, here? I have a hard time believing that someone found him already.

This is where I play dumb.

"Hey I didn't see any left out on the floor but if gave you the DPCI could you see if you have more in the back?"

Most of the time, these folks only care about getting an item out to you. They don't care what the item is.
