We have two videos regarding Transformers Legacy leader class Transmetal II Megatron (aka Dragon Megatron). One is a turnaround video from Smyths Toys. The other is a video review from PrimevsPrime. It has a lot of comparison to other recent figures so you can get a good sense of how big it is. It definitely towers over the recent deluxes and will make fans of big leader class toys quite happy. We have screenshots below. You'll let us know what you think.

Ugh, the entire beast mode torso just literally hangs off the back of his robot mode.
At least on the old toy the chest doors became something resembling a butt flap hind guard, but this one's entire front dragon body just hanging off the back as useless kibble is just sad, especially since it appears to take up the space where the dragon tail is supposed to hang down from as the robot mode helmet's plume.

The dragon chest hanging off the back is kinda funny, but I weirdly don't find it that annoying.
It does kinda sorta look like something resembling a cape from other angles in my eyes.
Overall I still love how the rest of it looks, I'll still get it. Just thought it'd be funny if he had the same face the original toy had - maybe that'll be saved for Cyrotek? (Or a one-off use much like the total flub with T-Wrecks?

I like him, he's a lot bigger than I expected he would be. He isn't a replacement for my original, but he'll go fine with PotP Optimal Optimus.

Never owned the original, but this one looks really nice. Much more streamlines in robot mode than the original. I'll be happy to add it to my collection.
My Amazon Pre-Order states its set for February.
And Legacy Tarantulas just shipped.

For those that still own the original TM II Megatron, how's that vac metal holding up? ( Unfortunately mine was sold in the purge of 2007). I can't wait to see a thorough review with comparisons between original and new. I think the dragon body hanging in the back is kind of wonky as well. Also, I King of miss the spring mechanism for the wings that the original had.

I think the biggest offender to the vac metal on these were humid or damp locations, any of the bots I've ever owned didn't peel like other peoples and I lived in a very dry climate. The only issue with mine was wear at the joints from being a kid when I bought them.

Makes sense. I live in a fairly warm climate, and never had any issues. Then again, I only owned my TMs for about 8 years. My son did pick up a used Tigerhawk at a flea market a couple years back that seems to be holding up, but that had much less vac metal than most TMs.

If you continue to make comments about the reviewer, warnings will begin to be issued. I, and many many others, are so very tired of hearing this.
So this is a straight up cease and desist. Warnings will be issued from here on out.

So, Breakdown. I am not that fussed about him considering he is going to be the back of a leg for pretty much his whole life. So really, to me, it matters almost nothing what he looks like.
Anyways, it is kinda incredible how my favorite titan and the bet quality titan came out in back to back years

I was gonna pass on the Stunticons. I really was. Then I saw Dragstrip for $11 at Gamestop and got him. So now of course I have to get all of them. Now, I still have CW Wildrider, as well as a CW Breakdown. So if I use them as legs (I remember seeing that CW limbs can fit on Legacy Menasor as legs, and it seems Legacy Breakdown won't be a Lambo) then I only need to get Legacy Motormaster, and Dead End OR Shadowstrip as the other arm and technically he'll be complete if not totally accurate. What to do, what to do...

It is a bit naff, isn't it? I hope that if I can add some various metallic and clear red and purple, plus some black, gold and (green for the eyes?) details, any "turdesque" aspects of this figure can be polished somewhat. I wonder if this is around the same size as the OSKO Legends sized 3P figure that came out? I believe they also made a Cryotek version too.

The copy in that review is missing a piece that the final toy will include, going by all the shown official copies and stock images we've seen so far. Said piece covers up that obvious fist, at least from the front, not sure about the sides.

Yeah I learned that since I made that post. I was gonna get Dead End anyway to be accurate. And I've seen pics and reviews of Legacy Menasor with the CW legs and it looks comically out of proportion. So I don't think my plan will work. I'm still getting the new Stunticons to go with CW Superion.Sentinel_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I was gonna pass on the Stunticons. I really was.

That's why it's always best to see official pics and video footage of TFs, prior to making any purchasing decisions. This could be just another "Kingdom Galvatron" again (with the supposedly odd proportions at the time).

Transformers Legacy Beast Wars Inferno is now on shelves in China. Below you can see a picture of this toy and his wavemate Armada Starscream on a store shelf. A Baidu user bought the toy, brought it home and took many pictures to show us what this toy will look like when we get it in hand. Due to last minute deco changes, these are the best images of the final figure yet. We have him in bot mode and ant mode, as well as the instructions.

Not sure I have Rattrap anymore. Would have to check. But Megatron (TMI & II), Primal TMI, Optimal, Depthcharge and Rampage are all pretty healthy looking. I'm actually getting a new spot for displaying figures sorted, so I'll have to catalogue what I still own.
*Edit*
Also, that Inferno is gloriously manic looking! I can hear him screaming "For the Royalty!"

ive never had any issues with my vac metal tf toys, except one. now a lot of the yellow paint has come off the chrome on tm cheetor, and all of the red paint came off the chrome on my super fire convoy, but the chrome itself is still perfect. Beast Machines jetstorm on the other hand... woof. he had a terminal case of metal flake dandruff.
now onto the real topic at hand. That inferno is awesome, though the way the new ant head looks on the chest still bugs me a teeny bit. That robot head though, chef's kiss. I will still be happy to have a solid inferno. My original came with all the translucent plastic ball socket joints pre-cracked

Not sure I have Rattrap anymore. Would have to check. But Megatron (TMI & II), Primal TMI, Optimal, Depthcharge and Rampage are all pretty healthy looking. I'm actually getting a new spot for displaying figures sorted, so I'll have to catalogue what I still own.
*Edit*
Also, that Inferno is gloriously manic looking! I can hear him screaming "For the Royalty!"

ive never had any issues with my vac metal tf toys, except one. now a lot of the yellow paint has come off the chrome on tm cheetor, and all of the red paint came off the chrome on my super fire convoy, but the chrome itself is still perfect. Beast Machines jetstorm on the other hand... woof. he had a terminal case of metal flake dandruff.

People were a bit worried when we got images of Legacy Breakdown in his combined mode since it didn't look much like a Lambo. But, now we have many new images of him in both his car mode and robot mode and the added spoiler accessory makes quite the difference. Let us know if this looks good enough for a Lambo alt mode or not. As for his robot mode, it looks like a definite improvement over the Combiner Wars Breakdown, which shows that maybe size isn't everything, you'll let us know your thoughts on the matter.
These images come from feedback on Shopee where this toy was available to order out of the box. So expect some video reviews soon.

So...... he's basically a retool of Wildrider, with a spoiler. I wonder why Hasbro decided to go with that instead of a new mold, like the other 3 limbs got.

A retool is fine in the sense that the transformation is the same so they can be legs, I just wish the grille was more Lambo like. I see they...tried, but I'm not all that happy with the result. The spoiler is helpful.

I agree, I too would have liked them to change the grill. It could have made a major difference to have both the front and back be different, while still reusing a portion of shared shell with Wildrider for the windshield and sides

Are we really surprised that this is a repaint/retool of Wildrider? Hasbro's cost savings/laziness is a little maddening. If they stay true to form they will most likely release a new molded Breakdown as a dang exclusive that will be compatible with this version of Menasor that will be horded and sold for scalped prices. If I remember correctly this would be similar to how they did in combiner wars version of Wildrider as a truck by a different name then actually brought out a more legit looking Wildrider later. Wish they could just stick the landing and not get lazy when completing a group. Cant wait to see what corners they cut on SS86 Snarl and Swoop. So disappointing.

Looks better with the spoiler, but he's still basically just a white Wild Rider. Really lazy way to end the set. But as there's no other way to compete the set, so one must buy it. 
I will be supper annoyed if they release Ana ctual Breakdown later with a completely new car shell, like they did with CW members.

CW Offroad was always meant as a new character (originally Ruckus) and not as a replacement (tho TFwiki was a bit confused with how he fit, along with Alpha Bravo), with Wildrider coming later. I'll have you know that that "cost saving/laziness" are what got Combiner Wars made in the first place.
So yeah, this Breakdown is what we'll get, tho I'm wondering why the front was kept as is. No more room in the mold that was switched out?

You do understand that wildrider from combiner wars was literally deadend with a new head right?
How was that more accepting than this a figure that has a new rear car, spoiler, guns torso and head.
The combiners wars version legit didn’t look anything like wildrider aside from his head and you folks are treating it as if hasbro gave you what you wanted. You got two limbs that were identical in alt mode. That’s not what you’re getting here

I don't think they'll be pulling that trick with this Breakdown, the CW are exceptions because they made new members first (except Blast Off who was the only one to retain the character, just not the alt mode)
Bare in mind that pattern was only accurate for the first original gestalt teams, and that might have had something to do with what Takara were doing with Unite Warriors.
Also I don't think he looks that bad with the group, or even noticeable in a group vehicle shot.

Who are Breakdown's wavemates? Maybe it was they who ate too much of the budget for that Deluxe class wave, leaving Breakdown to be a retool instead of a new mold.
