Video Review - Transformers Generations Legends Buzzsaw

Pass. It's 'bird' mode which should be it's main form given the character, is just so horrendously designed. The original G1 figure looks better.

Finally got that shipping notice. :)

Eh, I'll wait for the inevitable Laserbeak redeco.

Buzzsaw is greatly executed. He looks really cool and he forms a titan masters skateboard. Pretty neat!

So who are you gonna put in Blaster, just rewind?

Yeah, just Rewind. Just not into this mold in yellow.

What's the point of three modes if they all look awful?

The original Buzzsaw from Sound wave in the 80s and the one that came with War for Cybertron Soundblaster were the best. This one is just junk.

I'm beginning to worry that this wave wont reach general stores just like skids was impossible to find in the UK if not by buying the whole wave through specialized stores. Asides from the US hasbro store (which only shippes to US) it seems impossible to find the figures loose, and I'm not gonna spend <40$ for chop shop which is the only figure I want from the wave. Heck i'd rather buy 4 chop shops instead...

is this to be expected for certain waves? seems strange though for something coming out just before xmas to be on short stock... or is there little audience for chop shop, soundwave? How does this work? Am I missing something in which case can someone enlighten me?

@ Susha - I can't speak for the UK, but these showing up at HTS is the first we have seen of them.
There have been no reported retail sightings of these yet. Sometimes the UK (and Europe?) gets stuff before the States. Like some of the first waves of CW, but it's usually the other way around, no? It's kind of too early to tell.
I know you like your Legends scale, but I think you have time. I wouldn't worry to much just yet.

AAAA---sodeska, AArigATO!

Haha, thanks!

It's OK, but the Laserbeak version wont be replacing Booster X10 anytime soon.

Yeah that one still has a slightly blockiness to it's wings but it pulls it off far better than this new mold, actually looks enough like a bird and very cool in it's own right too. I kinda miss it. I had it for a while but got sold in a big cull of items due to bills and expenses. If I ever find it cheap at a car boot sale or charity shop I'm nabbing it.

So I ordered my Shockwave and others last Wednesday night, Thursday I got a shipping notice with the label created, but HTS still says they have not shipped yet. Anyone else having this issue? It's really frustrating me

Probably still trying to swallow that pill, if you get my drift. My order's not quite here yet, but it is like three or four hours away in Charlotte, NC. Hopefully within the next three days it'll be here.

While it is very close and shouldn't take too long to get here distance considered (I got the slower free shipping), I'm just really upset that HTS says they haven't actually shipped it yet. It's like it's been sitting in the warehouse for 5 days

Is that what the tracking form says? Mine's been up in the air for a couple of days, getting here; not sure what's goin' on with yours, you might want to try calling them.

Yeah, it's telling me that the 2 packages have not left the facility. They only created the label

hmm, unless it failed to update, I would consider calling them, they're pretty chill with customer service.

Just got a BBTS notification for Onslaught coming in soon! Finally! Hope I can get him before Christmas.

Not sure if this has been discussed here, but I was wondering if Legends Skywarp can be realistically attached to Menasor's chest without any modding to either figure.

I did it a while back with no modding. Honestly though, I can't remember exactly how I did it, and I don't think it was super stable. I know I connected SW's hands to MM's chest pegs.

It's a cold day on Cybertron when Menasor has chesticle "pegs".

It MUST be cold. Have you seen those things? BOING!!!!

Not bad. It's a bit high, though, and obstructs Menasor's face. I'll see if I can do something with it. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, I think someone did this with OP and Thundercracker, and cracked Thundercracker's hands. So, if you put Skywarp's hands on Menasor's pegs, be wary of forcing them too much.


(And that sounds kinda dirty. Maybe it was the chesticle talk...)

I remember this cracking problem too. Forcing it is always a risky move.

Shockwave still hasn't shipped and HTS has not got back to me after I sent them emails regarding this shipping issue. Really getting upset now

Never force a robot's hand on another robot's peg kid!

Just call them, it's 1000% more effective

Let's shift this conversation back on track shall we

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Let's shift this conversation back on track shall we

Well I did it, and Skywarp's hands fit right on Menasor's nip...er, chest pegs. Didn't have to be forced, and they're still on there solidly. I fixed the obstructed face by popping Skywarp's legs off and sticking them on Motormaster's exhausts which protrude from the shoulders. Makes it look like he has high collars, but his face is totally visible and his chest looks badass. So much better than Blackjack would have looked. I am impressed. He's a bit top heavy and tends to lean backwards, but that's an easy fix. He looks good next to Defensor.

Good to hear man! I just scored Skywarp at Walmart for $3 so maybe I'll give it a try!

Man, that thing is hot garbage. I get that he is the way he is to go into Soundwaves chest, but I really don't find it appealing. On the other hand, 6 year old me would probably love it.

I would say we should be seeing wave 1 of the regular Titan Wars stuff drop shortly into the new year, maybe Feb or March. (at least after toy fair)

Kinda like how agitating it is for me that Onslaught (who I'm told by my plastic crack supplier should be arriving next week) and his Combaticon brethren are tantalizingly close to finally getting here?

If it makes you feel any better, my pair of Shockies have been in Charlotte, NC... for the past three days.

Thought mine might've been circling o'hare for 3 days - but, probably not

My order has been 'in transit to Greenville, Indiana", since Saturday. It's "supposed" to arrive tomorrow. We'll see.
I think it's a case of, FedEx 3 week before Xmas.

P.S. I don't live in Indiana.

Yeah, my orders from bbts often go from wisconsin to chicago back to wisconsin to my town - 40 mins southwest of chicago

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has a video review for one of the latest figures in the Generations "Combiner Wars" line: Chop Shop, a retool of Skrapnel.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's interesting when obscure characters get an upgrade. Two years ago Chop Shop was the Minicon partner to Legends Megatron, and now the character has been upgraded as a repaint/remold of Skrapnell. The color pallet is a little flat making this figure an easy pass.

So happy I get to experience this figure with a far cooler head sculpt than skrapnel

is noone doing a Titan Wars Legends Class thread? since Charles A Emanuele(Chuck) has done a YouTube vid of Titans Return Legends Buzzsaw(& according to him they are in stock now at Hasbro Toyshop)

Stuartmaximus wrote:is noone doing a Titan Wars Legends Class thread? since Charles A Emanuele(Chuck) has done a YouTube vid of Titans Return Legends Buzzsaw(& according to him they are in stock now at Hasbro Toyshop)

Technically, it's labeled as Combiner Wars, even though it's blatantly Titans Return, so...

In other news: my Shockies finally moved out of Charlotte! Not as good news, they only moved thirty minutes east, and delivery has been delayed from today to Saturday (unsurprisingly).
