We share with you a report of the first wave of Transformers Legacy Evolution deluxe figures found in the Philippines. These were found at a Toysrus. The wave includes Needlenose, Breakdown, Hotshot and Scraphook. The sighting comes from the Cybertron Philippines Facebook page. This is good news, it means these toys are ready for international distribution so they could make it to the west sooner rather than later.

...and wave 3 has yet to show up in my area. :BANG_HEAD: . Additionally I am curious. Because starting with PotP Hasbro changed their strategy with Transformers to refresh the brand every year to avoid retailers not stocking waves beyond 4 or so. (Although this hasn't effected SS for some reason). But while the line did change slightly from Legacy to "Legacy Evolution", I wonder if the UPC's changed such that retailers like Target abd Walmart will still want to stock them, perceiving them as "new"?

I don't call ONE of each remaining on the pegs "peg-warmers".
Those pegs looks pretty bare and cold.
I wasn't referring to quantity, more like the figures themselves. Where I live the situation is mostly the same, only Arcee and Elita on the shelves, along with Bulkheads and Bee Soundwaves.


It still doesn't count which characters it is. If the shelves barely have anything, we just can't call them "pegwarmers."
If the same damn figure(s) stay(s) on the shelves/pegs for weeks or months, I'm calling it a warmer, whether there's 1 or 10. [-(

An excellent point but alas its all Speed Demon And Lady Beetle :lol:
And i realize this is old news by now, but i picked up Core Shockwave out of my box again today and was remind what an absolute delight he is. Similar to the ol Combinar Wars one, special in the legs, but truer to the Siege Voyager just teeny

Odds are no. Canada doesn't get stuff first often. That Earthspark stuff was a fluke. Asia usually gets stuff first due to proximity of the manufacturing.

I got Transmetal II Megatron this weekend, and I want to gush about him some, because he is really good. He is by far my favorite Legacy leader so far.

He has a great presence to him to start. When you flush out his wings like they were meant to be out, he takes up so much space and casts a hell of a shadow. And the paint work on his wings is really good. i love the fading effects on them, and the translucent plastic was used great.

I am OK with the face, I know the problems with it, but I am OK with it.

I love the ponytail still being there, even if head articulation is a little hindered by it. But the entire sculpt with the ponytail is really good.

I do wish the arms had a little more beef to them, but considering the original had that look to it, I'm not that bothered.

His components in both modes tab in pretty solid, so you can manipulate him and mess with him a lot without fear of having him come apart.

The transformation is pretty logical, but it is a fun thing to do. I love how the arms work to get his torso solid and dynamic.

His dragon mode, PHEW! I LOVE IT! It has such a great presence to it, even better than robot mode. He can throw some great shapes, and he looks fierce. The flame effect works well in this mode too, I appreciate that accessory.

So yeah, Megatron gets my seal of approval. He is really damn good. I love him.

Also, Armada Starscream is still pretty good.

A surprisingly find today at my local Walmart. Wasn’t sure if I’d see Cosmos again, especially in a store but apparently they had a restock. Ive seen restock on the Voyagers from this line but nothing with any of the deluxes. This is my 2nd time finding him in the store. The first one was for a friend but now i have a copy for myself.

Nice. Hopefully he becomes more widely available after all. I also saw him twice in store, the 1st time I grabbed him for myself and the 2nd time for a fellow collector in my area. He really is a fun mold. I hope Hasbro finds another use for him somehow. SG Cosmos would have been a no-brainer IMO.

I would say the no-brainer use is going to be Pathfinder, along with a green Warpath for Treads. I'm actually suprised Treads hasn't happened yet.

Nice score! I only hope this means more will be circulation other stores, the frustrating thing is Cosmos does not have listing on Walmart to see which store it might be at nor is it recognized on brickseek. Basically flying blind here and every store but one is way too far away to check on a whim.

You might be flying blind no matter what. All the stores by me are swimming in Road Rocket, Blurr or Burn Out. None of them show up as available at any of the stores near me and Walmart's website.

It's very odd. Most of the stores I go to, you can see product movement from week over week, but one particular Walmart I go to hasn't really shown any change. In 3 weeks, even after black Friday. They have the same 6 SSBB Arcees, 6 SSBB Ironhides, 1 Preceptor ( I thought would sell immediately). As well as 6 each of Velocitron Blurr, Road Rocket, and Burnout.

At this point, I honestly think Walmart chose to get the Legacy Beast and Velocitron exclusives in lieu of deluxe wave 2 ( and maybe wave 3). Unless anyone can confirm seeing deluxe wave 2 or 3 at a U.S. Walmart?
Re: Transformers Legacy Evolution Wave 1 Found in the Philippines (2150194)
Posted by SGMLordMirage on November 29th, 2022 @ 6:47pm CST
@ o.supreme, definitely an interesting thought you have. I can say I haven’t seen any of wave 2 at a Walmart and in my AO, we have 7 within 50 mile radius. Which a couple of those, just don't stock anything new. In addition, the Walmart that is up the road from me, wave 1 has taken up much of the space, plus the ones you mentioned. The only sighting of wave 2 was Elita-1 at a local Target. In fact, while i was near KC, i stopped into a Target there and they had 2 from wave 2. Who knows!

The only thing past wave 1 that I've seen in a US Walmart has just been the wave 2 core assortments and those have just been in the last week or so in the bins of smaller stocking stuffers in the main aisle.

I've only seen wave 1 Deluxe at Walmart, wave 1 and 3 Deluxe at Target. What happened to wave 2? Feels too late to blame COVID and logistic issues when most of us saw every figure (or at least one figure from every wave) from WFC at least once in the thick of it.

I've seen Jhiaxus and Blitzwing at Walmart for a couple months now, but not at Target. It's too early to complain about not seeing wave 3 Voyagers or Megatron yet.

I've only seen Core wave 1 in stores, that goes for Studio Series as well.

It is 100% certain that Cosmos has an alternate head. We just don't know if we'll ever see it.

Cranky and Pointy arrived today, which is a bit like me now there is so many plastic circles in my bed. Hasbro needs to stop pretending they are platic free and use the plastic to give the bots the bits they should have (or at least put some faction logos where they should be). Both seem nice bots and are the only ones I wanted form the wave (inferno when he is cheaper).

Pointblanks the weaker of the two. Not much point in a nice big clear canopy if nothing can sit in him. Articulation is pretty restricted but I still think I prefer him over a TR repaint like the Takara legends Manga suggested. I've not transformed him yet. Think I prefer the G1 toy still. The arms could have done with a double joint or just being a bit longer to help them bend and the proportions.

Crankcase is great other than his rear cannons. The paint on the rear seems very similar to bee dropkick car mode, whilst shiny and nice, likely to scratch. Hopefully he will get some more trigger masters to join him at some point.

So I got Point Blank recently and, YIKES! That is one rough toy. Big, sure, but that upper half is really reminding me of armada's articulation. He feels really restricted. Car mode aint looking great either.

Blame the OG design for that. Those shoulder pads ain't made for Cirque Du Soleil antics.

My real complaint is that he doesn't come with his shield/spoiler like the OG G1 toy. Plus those gaps on the back of the legs are sad. I bought an upgrade kit for those so let's hope someone will make the spoiler/shield soon.

I'm glad it's not just me that is only seeing wave 1 stuff. I hit the jackpot the other day when I found a couple SS86 Ironhides, and one each of SS86 Sludge and Legacy G2 Megatron at assorted stores. Never seen Cosmos, don't expect to. I've seen wave 2 voyagers and the occasional Blitzwing, nothing from Deluxe wave 2 or beyond. And by the time anything new shows up I've given up and bought it online. Anyone know what the deal is? Any predictions? I assumed with Walmart it was the redeco beasts and then velocitron taking up space. For target though I dunno. Too many Buzzworthy Terrorsaurs and raw chicken Dinobots?

Also briefly speaking of Beast Wars, the reissues are extremely hard to find for some reason. I only saw Cybershark once other than the time I got him, and haven't seen Wolfang or Retrax at all.

1) Cosmos is part of a Walmart-exclusive subline, and is short-packed at that.
b) Tarn is part of next-year's line.

Only Walmart exclusive in some countries. One has to check which of their local retailers tends to get the toys that are Walmart exclusive in the US. Also, he is not short packed everywhere, as is evident in the UK where he comes in solid cases.

I do not know what the situation with that toy is in New Zealand.

I'm OK with the lack of that center wing thing, because Peacemaker fills that in and looks pretty good there.

I agree the arms are limited, but I honestly still really enjoy him, and they are still mostly functional, he will throw the shapes I like.

We thank JTPrime17 for finding more listings for us. What's interesting about these is that their assortment codes and Legacy subheading show us that these are toys planned for 2024 (we already know all mainline Legacy toys coming out in 2023). It's only leaders and voyagers for now, but that's a record for the earliest we know of releases. Here they are:

Tra Gen Legacy UNI LDR BW Tigerhawk
EAN: 5010996192226

Tra Gen Legacy UNI LDR G1 Sandstorm
EAN: 5010996192233

Tra Gen Legacy EV LDR Optimus
EAN: 5010996192141

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Animated Optimus Prime
EAN: 5010996192189

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Prime Thundertron
EAN: 5010996192172

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Cyber Starscream
EAN: 5010996192165

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy BW Silverbolt
EAN: 5010996192158

That's a big mix of G1, BW, UT, Prime and Animated. We also have a listing for G2 Grimlock (redeco of Studio Series 86 Grimlock) which is the leader for a upcoming capsule. Those are exclusive sublines, like the velocitron line. It's unknown if this will be for a subline found at Target, Walmart or Amazon.

Thundertron...

Boy, a whole decade later and Hasbro is still trying to promote the character that most of the fandom simply does not care about at all.

I'm reminded of when his original toy was first unveiled back at BotCon 2012 and the Hasbro folks were really excited about it, but nearly the entire audience in the room simply reacted with "Who?"

I think about less than 10% of the people in that room even knew who he was from having read the Exiles novel beforehand. And I was among that small amount who recognized his name from the book.

Funnily enough, all of the original toy's redecos have received more love and attention by the fandom than said original toy ever did.

I'm interested in Animated Prime... I wonder though, will he be the cab per usual (and thus very likely just look like G1 Prime in new colors), the full firetruck (like Inferno), or the cab with an axe/jetpack that fills it out (like the original voyager)? Disappointing lack of Lockdown though...

Hoping Sandstorm looks good in all modes, though I fear bot mode will suffer. Also kinda hope he's on the taller side, but that's just because I think having a Sandstorm that's about Siege Ultra Magnus height would be cool.

Cybertron Starcream will be interesting to see, especially since they originally didn't release his voyager toy in the US :lol:

Most excited for the BW updates. Interesting that there may be two such physically similar Maximals on the shelves at once that aren't the same mold. Silverbolt always did need to be a bit taller to scale with just about any given Blackarachnia toy.

Tigerhawk will almost certainly have proper purple this time, but I really hope he retains or somehow homages the original toy's "hidden" feature of the Vok generator that you can only see when he's opened up mid transformation. Maybe it's just that The Trigger was the episode that got me fully onboard with Beast Wars just after TransCon '97 put an end to my year and a half of knee-jerk reaction against organic alt modes, but it was just so damn cool to see that the first time I handled ol' Thunderbutt.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the mix of continuities being revisited, assuming any of this is accurate, even if I will be passing on every single 1 of these, except maybe that leader optimus, depending on which one it is. The only other listing that has my attention is the update to Animated Prime, though I wonder what they can come up with that would top the original voyager. That was pretty spot-on. Maybe finally give him a trailer? But that would make him a leader or a commander. I also like that G2 Grimmy is coming, gives a decent chance for the other G2 Dinobots.

I'm still waiting on a cleaned up version of WFC Springer, preferably in the SS86 line, as well as G1 Sureshot.

Really excited to see these figs. Especially Thundertron, I was thinking of picking up the original figure but I am interested to see how the new one will hold up. I do wonder if there'll be some wish fulfilment by actually using the Star Seekers like originally planned instead of going with the Predacons. (Not that I dislike the Prime Predacons at all, I just think space robot pirates would've been really fun.)

Also I am VERY eager to see Sandstorm. I hated the T30 and especially hated how it looked, so having a figure that'd look more like a proper G1 Sandstorm would be nice. It's probably going to be 'toon accurate but I hope sculpting makes up for the missing sticker detail the animation model forgot. :lol:

So I'm guessing 2024 is taking us back to the Universe title again. I guess we should have seen that coming eventually.

I'm glad Tigerhawk is going to be a Leader, it was necessary to do him right. But I'm very excited over the prospects of Silverbolt being a Voyager! That might be the most exciting thing about this list, lots of potential.

Not all that crazy about Animated Prime being a Voyager, I was hoping they'd go full concept trailer or at least the flight pack, but I guess this is their Voyager good guy leader slot filled.

Really looking forward to Leader Sandstorm as I didn't like the looks of the previous Generations version. But after Blitzwing I try not to get too excited about more Triplechangers from the current design team.

I'm surprised they're doing Cybertron Starscream "already" when we have yet to have seen our first Armada Starscream repaint. Can we possibly get Thundercracker, Skywarp and Ramjet in 2023? Would they still do them in 2024?

Thundertron is a big surprise, but also one of the figures with the most repaint potential. I love the original mold and bought all 3 additional redecos. I don't know if they'd bother doing Leo Prime, but I could see Go Prime and Alpha Trizer happening. Myabe AT can be in a 2 pack with Flareup to homage the BotCon set (minus Apelinq).

Looks like Laser Prime is getting rereleased, though it says EVO so is it really a 2024 rerelease?

G2 Grimlock was inevitable. I'm guessing a Walmart release, we don't get as many leader exclusives from Target, they tend to prefer box sets at the higher price point. Plus it'll most certainly be blue. Target can have a red Slug or something.

I'm not so sure. The design team will certainly go with purple, but we've seen a few examples where upper management shot them down in favor of toy colors. Plus they'll most likely do Razorclaw who is basically Tigerhawk's cartoon colors with the white replaced with black so they might choose to go with blue to further separate the two.

The original Thundertron was a BAD toy. I hated every fiber of that mold. It was ugly, flimsy, things popping off everywhere, and he was just bland.

I ham, however, interested in how Legacy will re-interpret the character. Will it be just a pretool with an out of place head like Legacy Bulkhead, or will it be a so absurd-but-awesome new mold like Jhiaxus? :-?

I also fear those Animated characters will be bastardised with the "G1 Beam" like the Prime characters are.

Interesting list.

The things that excite me the most are Tigerhawk and Silverbolt. 2 of my favorite beasts, with Tigerhawk my favorite beast, finally getting another crack. I am thankful.

Until I see my first Legacy Animated figure prove me wrong, i am going to assume Prime will be butchered like the Prime characters already have been.

Thundertron is an interesting one, not one i would have expected. We'll see what happens with him

I get all the other abbreviations but UT? I'm I missing something? (Entirely possible). Is this the Universe line, that was populated with repaints? (Admittedly some bloody crackers. Universe Tigerhawk and Depthchange were gorgeous.

That is a fantastic line up though. As much as I've enjoyed the huge amount of G1, I'm looking forward to seeing the other lines get some love. I want BW Inferno and ordered Armada Hotshot (wishing he came with Jolt!) and I await other returning universes eagerly!

What's interesting about these is that their assortment codes and Legacy subheading show us that these are toys planned for 2024 (we already know all mainline Legacy toys coming out in 2023). It's only leaders and voyagers for now, but that's a record for the earliest we know of releases. Here they are:

Tra Gen Legacy UNI LDR BW Tigerhawk
EAN: 5010996192226

Tra Gen Legacy UNI LDR G1 Sandstorm
EAN: 5010996192233

Tra Gen Legacy EV LDR Optimus
EAN: 5010996192141

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Animated Optimus Prime
EAN: 5010996192189

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Prime Thundertron
EAN: 5010996192172

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy Cyber Starscream
EAN: 5010996192165

Tra Gen Legacy UNI Voy BW Silverbolt
EAN: 5010996192158

That's a big mix of G1, BW, UT, Prime and Animated. We also have a listing for G2 Grimlock (redeco of Studio Series 86 Grimlock) which is the leader for a upcoming capsule. Those are exclusive sublines, like the velocitron line. It's unknown if this will be for a subline found at Target, Walmart or Amazon.

Tra Gen Legacy Capsule LDR G2 Grimlock
EAN: 5010996143112
Product Number:F7517


Interesting Lineup.

LDR Prime is almost certainly the Armada Prime the teased in the Legacy poster.

Not sure how you bring Animated Prime into Legacy and not just make him another G1 Prime though. Probably a more stylized head sculpt. Otherwise Animated is just G1 Prime in the more stylized Animation style.

Tigerhawk and Silverbolt definitely interest me. Very similar alt modes though ones a wolf and the other a tiger.

Cyber Starscream is. intriguing. Cybertron StarScream? Would totally be in for an update of that design. Only version I own of Cybertron SS is Universe Dirge. I'd kill for a Thundercracker or Skywarp repaint of that design.


Sandstorm poses a question. Would he be a retool of Springer, or a new mold?

If they would use this line to bring back the un-finished prototype for Transformers Animated "Marauder Megatron", that would be awesome.
