Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Legion Class Wave 1 Image

Erm, wasn't "Twinstrike" actually going to be called Sinnertwin last time someone checked, or am I just remembering that that's who the larger toy looked like?

And Airachnid's chopper blades look depressingly accurate to her deluxe toy, while the crescent-bow makes her look like she's doing a full-on Blackarachnia impression...say, does anyone else think too many characters using the same crossbow makes it seem like Beast Hunters somehow marks the return of the Evil Horde?

Looking at the case breakdown I think Hasbro realizes the demand for Smokescreen. Airacnid looks good but I do find it funny it and Bumblebee use the same weapon

Of course Bumblebee has the highest quantity...

Yeah but only by 1. This is one of the most even case layouts I've seen in a long time

I totally got the same Sinnertwin vibe off of that figure. Would have been a much better name imo and a nice homage.

As for your comment about the "Evil Horde"...once I stopped laughing I had to kind of cringe a bit. The whole thought in general isn't helping me warm up to this new line any quicker. But yes, it totally brings to mind the Horde.

ill be getting all of them except for bumblebee, he just looks like crap. But Sinnertwin is the best out of the group, hope they bring back more of the terrorcons.

I'm going to cut the wings off that legion class smokescreen and glue them to the back of the Takara Knockout repaint.

Smokescreen x3?

Hehe, my favorite Autobots is slowly replacing Bumblebee as the kid-appeal character.

No. He's always been "Twinstrike." He's a Sinnertwin homage.

He doesn't have a larger toy.

Might get Twinstrike if I ultimately decide on expanding my dino shelf into a dino&dragon shelf. Hmm.

Sinntertwin looks spectacular! Can't wait to pick him and Airachnid up. SS is looking pretty derpy with those weird shoulders, but maybe it's just mistransformed? If it's not, I'll hold off 'till I see him at 5below or something.

I can't wait to see Hun-gurr!

Must. Have. SINNERTWIN!

I know he's called "Twinstrike" on the package, but "Sinnertwin" is one of the best TF names ever and we all know that's who he's supposed to be

Yes, they are.

Any specific reason why Airachnid has Bumblebee's weapon?

They've always had the same weapon. Hasbro's just lazy.

A curse to Hasbro's laziness...

Not laziness, it's a cost issue. To be honest it does look close to those hand blades the deluxe one has.

Sinnertwin needs a deluxe class so bad. Thats such a sick combination of colours and porpotions.

Not by a long shot.

HUGE RELIEF.

If they're opened up a little. Not an exact match but close enough that the argument can be made.

Ughhh...

Why cant Sinnertwin get a deluxe mold ??? I was hoping for a G1 upgrade set.

In a Prime toyline?

Dude, do you even like anything that isn't G1-based?

Based on what I've seen of his posts, I'd say no.

Airachnid and Smokescreen - yes, Bumblebee and Sinnertwin - no. I really enjoy the direction Hasbro went with the Legion and Commander toys. I find it very funny that the legion class Airachnid looks better than the deluxe.

3+2+2+4=11. I'm willing to bet Smokescreen and Bumblebee are 4 each. Or maybe Twinstrike is 3 to a case.

Of these, I'll probably get all but Murderbee. I love my little guys.

I'll probably get Twinstrike.

In this day and age, I highly doubt Hasbro would ever release a toy with "Sinner" in the name.

Funny how Legion Airachnid looks like it has exactly the same amount of detail and articulation as the Deluxe version.

I was thinking that too.

But on the other hand, I never thought we'd get Hasbro a product with the word "death" in its name ("Deathsaurus" - BotCon 2005 toy and Shout! Factory DVD subs).

And if they ever make any more toys of ALL the Wings of Honor Skyraiders, we'd get a Hasbro toy named "Hellbat".

Which could be really troublesome. In Mega Man Zero 3, a boss named "Hellbat Schilt" was renamed "Devilbat Schilt" for the US. Doesn't sound that much better, does it?

It's one thing to make a convention-exclusive figure with "Death" in the name, and make it available in small quantities to collectors. It's another thing entirely to make a figure with "Sinner" in the name and try to put it on the shelves of Walmarts and TRU stores across the country.

True, but I did also mention his being named "Deathsaurus" on the Shout! Factory DVDs, which were mass release (even the UK/AU DVDs kept his Japanese name "Deszaras" instead).

They even kept Hellbat's name in the subs as well, despite there being obivous censorship done to other things in the DVD subs.

I've actually thought about this too; my guess is a new Hasbro incarnation of Hellbat would change the second "l" to an "i", giving us "Helibat" and a brief backstory about how he used to be a helicopter. Y'see, it's like how the Grand Kai becomes fond of abbreviations in the Funimation dub.

"But even before that, when I was just a little tricycle..."

Now, this would actually become fun if "Hell-Dealer" from the LioKaiser knock-offs somehow got officially acknowledged: they could just invert the 2 mashed-up names to give us "Double-Batter" who runs around whacking Autobots with his 2 baseball bats!

And if that really is why we can't have "SINNERtwin", I guess we can forget about an Inhumanoids revival. The satanic messages weren't even hidden in that one; the intro clearly spelled out that demons from Hell the size of King Kong were going to knock down your house, murder your family, and toss anyone who tried to save you into the lake of fire. *sigh*

Very nice. Sinnertwin/strike & Airachnid are definitely top of the pile.
