Legacy Motormaster is Getting an Online Restock

The Japanese love their drill-tanks since the 1960's at the very least. But rare are those with a LOGICAL drill.

Btw, don't bother googling "top 10 drill tanks".

So I'll be sure to het this one... who will ironically have the repros upgrade along some 3D printed upgrades to be truly perfect. For starter, that drill is way too small and the way it's positioned, the best it can do to a rock wall is to scratch some obscenities. It needs a big-ass drill that would convert into a sword/shield combo or something.

Had I just waited a few more weeks instead of blowing the $200 I spent with shipping... .

In recent history, I recall "Powerdasher" Zetar from the Selects line, and "Nosecone" from the Combiner Wars Computron set (that's the CW version, not Warriors Unite). Those didn't make sense either .

It make sense if your goal is to give people trypophobia by poking tiny holes all over the place.

Do you mean a 3rd run? Because Siege Jetfire was just recently at EE for preorders and is now sold out, luckily I put in a preorder back in October.

Hello no....I blame you, I blame Seibertron, I blame the world!

Nah the fault is mine as you pointed out Emerje, I chose poorly and hopefully I don't fall victim to a blunder like this soon!

It's the same head that was previously only used on the Selects Combat Megatron toy.



That head was always based on IDW Miner Megatron.

It's subtle, but it's actually a new sculpt. It's most visible on the forehead, where on the new one the red markings are molded thicker and cover more area, and the caution stripe part has a v-shape to it. The cheek guards are slightly different too. That's why I'm surprised, they already had a perfectly good headsculpt designed for this very purpose, yet they made a new one anyway.

Would have been kind of interesting.

"SG" = "Shattered Glass", not "Siege".

I feel like we're overdue for a new Drift, especially after his appearance in Cyberverse. Not a remake of the Generations figure but the late IDW version that was hanging out with Hot Rod and Ratchet with the red face markings and Cybertronian alt mode.

I'd love that too. We have early IDW Drift, and thanks to Adventure we sort of have early MTMTE Drift. I'd love a shot at his final IDW body

Adventure Drift, man that was an awesome figure. I'm glad I got some of those Adventure figures.

Well, I just coomed.

As for the price, if there's no Canadian surcharge, it would be expensive but fair.

I'm looking forward this set a whole lot!
