New Images of Universe Legends and Marvel Crossover Transfo

I don't normally buy Legends, but I'm definitively going to have to get Cosmos and WarPath. My old Warpath G1 figure doesn't transform as easily as he used to so I could use a modern update to stand in for him, and Cosmos is one of my fav G1 figures from back in the day.
I may even get Wheelie. I don't know on him though.

phew...
I'm glad (and somewhat amazed) that Warpath isn't just a repaint of the recent Legends Megatron!

Rodimus looks awesome, I will own him!

All will be mine. Yes indeed.

I'm actually impressed! 3 of the 4 Legends look better than their G1 originals...even Wheelie! And Captain America as a Humvee. Who didn't see that one coming?! Seriously, I've been impressed with some of the Marvel Crossovers as far as their vehicle modes go. Mostly with Venom's alt., but I'm something of a muscle car fan and felt that more TF's should have been done in the classic street rod style. (Big Daddy, '74 Camaro BB and Venom are amongst my favorite figs.)
Warpath appears to have more articulation now and Cosmos certainly looks more streamlined. Until Drift comes out I may actually end up buying more Legends and RH figures than Deluxe class from any of the other lines. They certainly seem to be improving their approach to designing them.

I'm with Avatar Prime on this one. These aren't your normal legends...these look really nice. I have to admit, I'm also kind of impressed by the Captain America TF. Like we didn't see the Carnage repaint coming a mile away...or the War Machine either. It seems the first molds that were picked were decided on by the fact that they could easily repaint them into other figures: Hulk (grey and green), SPidey (normal and black), Venom/Carnage, Iron Man/War Machine. Smart decision business-wise...annoying for us fans. Thor looks kinda cool too...

I can't beleive I'm saying this but......Wheelie...looks....good! And so do Cosmos and Warpath. Rodimus already has a classics figure....show-off.

I'm not sure if I've said this before... but I LOVE Legends figures!

I just picked up Prime, Prowl and BB tonight and I can't wait for the next two amazing waves!

I honestly think I'm looking forward to these more than I am Cyclonus and Hound.

Thor's a god. Does he really need a suit of fancy battle armour?

Look at it this way: if you were a god, wouldn't you make a giant robot that turned into a plane?

No, I'd be a giant robot that turned into a plane!

Ohhh, I see what you did there.

You'd want friends though.

Is it wrong for me to be excited about buying Wheelie?

Cosmos looks good also, Not as nice as the canceled Titanium version. But it is better than nothing I suppose.

Okay, that Warpath just completely and utterly RULES. Not sure about Legends Hoot Rod, though... mainly because I'm not a Hot Rod fan.

These look like they'll be the best Legends since Cyb Starscream, et al.

Thor, Captain America, and Wheelie shall be mine!!!

I'm not normally a legends fan, but Hound & Jazz look lonely.

I'm also liking Thor. I've seen the pics of the alt mode, and it's supposed to be an A-10 Thunderbolt (get it), not a prop plane like the image says.

Looking closely at Cap, does he look like a remold of the Wolverine crossover? Maybe he just has a similar bot mode, I dunno.

Technicly Thor changes into an A-10 I believe...same plane as Powerglide if memory serves....


And I want ALL the G1 Legends now That Warpath is causing drool on my keyboard

As far as Wheelie goes, maybe if those of us that are actually excited about this new figure don't really advertise the fact...

...well, never mind. I guess we'll just own up to the fact that some of us may actually go out and buy a Wheelie figure since Hasbro has finally given us one that is even better than we imagined.

I just don't know about Thor being a prop plane. It seems a little...insulting... to have a God relegated to the form of a prop job. Should have been something solid, devastating or immovable.
Tank was already done, construction rig seems too grungy for Thor but there has to be something else dignified...Space Shuttle!!!
Large, Thunderously loud, powerful and far mor dignified than a simple plane. Who's with me on this?

Why do I hear crickets chirrping in the background?

He's an A-10 Thunderbolt? Yeah, Thunderbolt, I get it...well, if not a shuttle I'll settle for the play on the name. At least it's not a prop. plane. Probably has sparks flying out of it's...

Wait.. Does this mean.. Wheelie is within scale?

I plan to test that out by having Grimlock step on him...repeatedly

Its in a deleted scene from the movie, I'm sure

I've gotta say the only one I Don't like is War Machine...he'd be so much cooler as a tank. That, and the repaint pretty much looks like the MK II armor from the movie, rather than a good representation of War Machine (It should be black and white I believe)

Carnage would be a loss, except that i've allready got plans to kitbash him into Pimpmobile Deadpool I gotta see if I can find him a to scale fuzzy hat...

Looks like the War Machine in my old comics, and the one I had as an action figure as a kid. The red is a bit of an eye-sore though.

Thor as an A-10? I'd always thought of him as an AC-130 Gunship, but the A-10 is probably a better choice. Hope the paint job lines up in jet mode. Although, since it's one of the less mechy ones, I'm probably even less likely to get it. I want Iron-Man and still haven't brought myself to put down the cash.

Think these will be my first legends I'll bother picking up. Warpath, Cosmos, Wheelie - oh and Beachcomber and Brawn. They are nice now that they are not just crappy repaints from other lines.

Anyone know what the dealio with WarPath's alt mode is? Is that his cybertronian alt mode? Pretty sure there aren't any earth tanks with 4 separate treads.

Those are kick ass! Especially HotRod. Ill be getting all of them. And probably 3 HotRods.

HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?!?! HOW COULD A WHEELIE TOY ACTUALY BE PRETTY DAMN COOL?!?

I love these G1 minibot legends, one and all.

The world has gone mad indeed. I think Wheelie has the highest success rate of any figure. 3 have been made, G1, Legends and Jizai toys, and 2 of them look pretty damn nice. 66% succss rate there. If that applied to all TFs, wouldn't we be sitting pretty now.

With a little retooling (i.e. new head molds) some of the marvel legends figs repainted could make pretty cool Universe TFs. I wonder if Hasbro sees that...

Wow, the legends as minibots thing works well. I wonder if we'll also see Cassettebots in the legends line...

Diem wrote:Wow, the legends as minibots thing works well. I wonder if we'll also see Cassettebots in the legends line...

I hope so. Personally I'd love to have the full 1984 (for starters) line of toys in Classics/Universe. We've had more than half of them already, but the majority of the remainder are minibots and cassettes so it would be great to have those guys updated with modern toy technology.

Why settle for updating minibots and cassettes into Legends when they could be done as Scouts?

Sledge wrote:Why settle for updating minibots and cassettes into Legends when they could be done as Scouts?

Legends size would keep the cassettes the same size as the Ravage that comes with Hound, and if they 2-packed them like they did the movie legends, we could get the same pairings that we had in the 80s, which would encourage Hasbro to make Squawkbox and Slamdance. And of course, they might even fit in G1 Soundwave, which would be a plus IMO.

I'd prefer the Minibots had been done as scouts, but if Target's movie exclusives are any indicator, scouts are no longer the great value (price wise) that they used to be.

The size thing already got blown away with Deluxe size Cliffy and BB. Not to mention Powerglide. I've got nothing against Legends class, I love the little buggers, but I want to see some nicely articulated Scout versions as well. Come on, how can anyone not want Cybertron Hard Top/Swindle repainted as Beachcomber?

Sledge wrote:Why settle for updating minibots and cassettes into Legends when they could be done as Scouts?

I would love to see them as scouts, but I love the legends class figures. I hope wave six has Windcharger, Pipes, Cliffjumper and Gears.

I too would love to see scouts come back -cassettes, minibots and incectacons FTW

Wheelie?! Freakin' Wheelie?

Don't get me wrong. He looks great which is probably why they rebuilt him anyway, just to prove they could make a decent one, but c'mon. On the list of Transformers that need a Classics version did he really need to be so high on the list?

Where's my Classics Shockwave and Arcee?

I must be dilereous, I actually like Wheelie, I think I need a lie down. I love Warpath and Cosmos they're definately bought when I see them. I hope they do Seadpray, Huffer and Windcharger next.

Though the new Legends figures look good, I honestly wished they were Deluxes instead. Maybe they will become Deluxes later on just like how Hound did.

Hmmm...let's see. The global economy is in the crapper, folks are digging remakes of Wheelie and Cosmos and asking for a remake of Sea Spray, and I actually get along with my ex-mother in law.

Yep, the Apoccalypse is coming! Time to ask ourselves "Where is everyone going and why are we all in this handbasket?"

I agree - I would rather have most of the Legends in the Scout class for the reasons you mentioned.

How are Legends typically sold? Will these four be part of a 4-pack?

In the UK, Legends are normally sold individually. For the Movie, we did get some twin packs, mostly with two slightly repainted molds. Argos are fond of bundling three or four of them together and selling them for the same price as three or four bought individually.

How much does a Legend go for nowadays? I don't think I have ever seen the Legend class in Japan other than an exclusive.

Cosmos is in. Wheelie, probably. I'm giving a rather big chance to that. Warpath, 50-50, wait and see.

UK prices, £3 each. Unless you shop in the Entertainer, where they randomly mark some stuff up.
