Transformers Legacy – Transmetal II Dragon Megatron
What a beast of a character this turned out to be. This was an awesome project to have the opportunity to take over from Lenny, and I absolutely loved his vision for what this figure would become. This dragon form is a great homage to the original character, but takes the opportunity to update it with some modern aesthetics to fit in the legacy styling. The Claws of the dragon mode are able to be incorporated into the robot chest, and both the tail and neck feature multi tiered balljoints to allow for maximum articulation. Ejima Takio did an incredible job of bringing this character to life, and to following the initial design plan so closely.
Fun fact, due to the scale texturing applied to the entire model, the characters digital file actually surpasses our Titan and Masterpiece figures in complexity. It’s a rig killer, but that seems fitting for Megatron.
There are a lot of complex colors used across the both modes, and a lot of subtle gradients used to mimic the transitions from the more pearlescent hardened scales to the brighter underbellies. There is a darker shade used as the eyeshadow on the dragons face, and a complimentary gold used on the horns and claws. The overall body is molded in a dark matte metallic red, to help reduce the color discrepancies between the various materials used for molding. His wings are molded in a warmer translucent amber, while the translucent parts are cast out of a stark orange clear ABS.
Lastly there is a 5mm port in the mouth of the dragon to be able to accept the flame accessory. This can be used in both Robot and Dragon mode, and can also be wielded as a club in the figures right hand.
And on the topic of the head sculpt:
been seeing a bit of mixed on the head which is totally justified. This matches the initial design kick off for a blend of history toy / animation to be a unique look that is own-able for Legacy. I’m really excited to see this guy get into the hands of fans!

Legacy Deluxe Pretender Skullgrin was a project challenge that really wreaked havoc on my emotions.
Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters. Ever since that old Straxus redeco toy Bill Rawley worked on in 2010, I’ve always wanted a proper Dauros from Super God Masterforce but also utilizing what was done as the original G1 toy. All of that equals an absolutely crucial design challenge in which I was constantly second guessing decisions the whole way.
Thank goodness I worked with Yuki san on this guy and his incredible ability to not only design but to advise direction was super helpful.
You can see here, in my concept art I worked up for Skullgrin, I wanted to keep some demon features of the character but also combine them with elements of the toy transforming robot. I really do wish I had more time to debate and draw but I felt utilizing existing artwork for the characters alt mode would really help with time and direction.
Then comes the engineering decisions on whats really possible to even obtain smooth transformation. Back and forth we went on redesigning this figure step by step to get the end result. Which I’m very pleased with the outcome and I hope you are too.
The accessory load out on this guy is unreal. The scale of robot mode I wanted was sort of a pipe dream but he maintains alot of beef and height for a deluxe. He really gives a strong decepticon presence. The colors were another challenge here as you can see some mistakes heppened in production.
Other notes are the cybertronian front hover tank duel gun turret blasters are effects compatible and also have alot of versatility with 5mm ports. The duel bone sword energon blasters can be utilized in multiple ways. Please peep my story for more cool tidbits about this super fun figure, in which, I hope you give him a chance to bless your collection, even if he is without his shell!

I hope everyone enjoyed watching this afternoon’s livestream, it felt great to finally show off Legacy Deluxe Crankcase!
When I saw the appearance of the Movieverse Crankcase I just had to find a way to release an update of this guy. I did love his appearance in the @idwpublishing but I felt the toy head would be the go instead of the halfway blown apart head like the comics.
Worked with Shu san in Takara on this partial of Legacy Skids mold and we went back and forth an awful lot about the trigger blasters. It was really challenging to fit the blasters with a blast compatibility and we are also wanted to keep the alt mode clean with the blasters hidden. It was a compromise in the end as I really wanted this character. I even had a rendition where the side fender compartments came off on a 5mm post to be added as ammo for the front grill blaster, but since this was a partial mold, we did our best to do the character justice within the cost alotted.
To note the silver op behind the grill was stripped to utilize those ops for the cool two tone decal on the back spare tire.
I will post some more in my story for a feature tidbit on this guy and I hope you really enjoy him!
-Mark
Following up with another Core class reveal.
Here we have some more photos of Core legacy Bombburst, or Blood if you prefer the Japanese name.
Continuing with how we’ve been implementing the decepticon pretenders, we merged the monster shell with the bot alt mode.
This is another Hasui san master piece and it amazes me how well this figure turned out.
The wings are attached by 5mm posts on the sides of the arms and can be stored on the back. There’s some bat wing sculpt detail on the undersides that you can show off if you’re so inclined.
We gave him Gold eyes following the original toy release instead of the animation model’s Red.
If you have any questions about this figure, let me know!
Thanks for reading,
-Evan

Except the original G1 toy DID have a full mouth. The lower jaw, complete with the lower two front teeth and tongue were molded into the torso and unpainted.

Skull GRINs because he's got a lower jaw. Without it, he would just be called "Skull".

My last statement still stands. I've seen far more complaints about which size class he is rather then a missing jaw.

With crankcase being a partial and money theyve saved on skids liely being used 3-4 times alone is a shame crankcase didnt get a bit more. Robot mode is way better than G1 and although it still kinda feels like it needs upgrades I'll be picking it up having happily passed on Skids. He's definitely getting a Decepticon symbol facing the way I want it to though.
Bombburst looks great and I'll pick him up. Having said that the size class clash with skullgrin menas I'll be passing on Skullgrin. Partly because of that and partly because i dont want another cybertonian lump alt mode. Skullgrins bot modes good enough to make up for the alt but the lack of a lower jaw is definitely a hting. Maybe hasbro wanting to make a bit on the side there with another upgrade pack.

Nah. Core class figures based on the inner robot. Updated with more convincing alt modes and transformations.

The issue with that though is then the Pretenders are then out of scale when you use the Masterforce versions where the shells were smaller and the inner bots were the same size as most of the other Transformers seen.
Personally, if we got them at voyager price points, I'd want them to include figures of the shells that turn into weapons like Peacemaker from Pointblank, and then also include armor that attaches to a deluxe size inner bot Ultra Magnus style to homage the Marvel comics version where the shell was still full size. Whether or not the pretender armor would have a human face or go with a robot face is up to the designer, though I'd be fine either way

I don't much care for "recreating the masterforce characters", unless they are someone like Minerva or double-dealer. To me, blood is cloudburst. But if you want perfect masterforce scale, the power of the primes should do. for now. But for the deception pretenders they turn into monster, which have every right to be giant. That shouldn't be a problem, especially if the vehicle modes aren't very big (like a motorcycle or a dune buggy)

I'm surprised one of the Legends-scale 3P companies haven't started making the inner robots (which might be in scale with CHUG if they were in their larger sized figures by those companies), while they, or someone else, sold larger shells with "storage areas" inside them...

This is pretty much what I've been asking as a Pretender upgrade (either that or snap-on armor, but I think Core figures on Deluxe shells are much closer to the concept). Maybe increase to Voyager/Leader class shells for the Mega/Ultra/Double/Monster Pretenders for the increased engineering their added gimmicks require.

Interesting to note that this basically confirms the Pretenders replaced the Energon Monsters from the early listings. EDIT: Huh, so this is what it feels to be ninja'ed.
Wonder why they changed that; could be because they didn't want to sell new characters without the cancelled Netflix Legacy show to promote them, but that didn't stop Modulators and Fossilizers in the last 2/3 of WfC. Maybe it was a quality/safety issue?
Also wonder why they used a new "mold" for Peacemaker instead of a Battlemaster retool, or even the Legends mold. Are plastic prices really that high?
According to the TFW2005 covering, Armada Starscream's wing-sword is gray instead of red because the red clashed with the Star Saber. Question: why wasn't the accuracy priority given to the weapon actually associated to the character?
...Actually, bigger question: why do the wing-sword at all if it's not going to keep the wing-to-sword gimmick?!

I know. But it still NEEDS to happen. Kinda makes me made when hasbro claims they are making new g1 accurate figures but they are heavily changed so much the original idea doesn't mean anything anymore. A non-fan who is buying for someone else would just assume they are mutants, never guessing about the shells.

I think the only way we're getting real Pretenders, shell and all, is if Takara Tomy is fully all in on supporting them, not Hasbro. Maybe as an MP offshoot similar to MPG and MPM, MPP.

Hard to say since Override didn't happen the way they expected her to (we've all heard the story) and Metroplex likely only happened out of necessity, but thankfully they did a great job on him. I think they've definitely reevaluated any previous plans considering how popular the first two have been. I would personally love to see them take another stab at Evac because his arm propeller really gets in the way and legs and feet are weird. Can't imagine them doing Scourge better, he's even better now that the scale and shrunk and he's such a big figure.

No. looing at pictures of scourge he definitely could use some improvement. Easy retool if we get a new Predaking mold or vice versa.
I really like the look of armada shockwave, And think I worked well for a Cybertronian cryotek. Hope we get them too, even though they are not planet leaders.

Hasbro initially pitched and planned for Override to be a heavy retool of Hot Rod, Takara instead countered that by figuring out a way to make an entirely new mold for her with the budget of a retool (she only uses 4 mold-sprues instead of the 12 or so other Voyagers do).Tracytron54321 wrote:Emerje wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I wonder if we'll get the other 2 planet leaders from Cybertron.

But what impressed me more is how her arms works in her transformation. There's "secret peg holes" in her forearms for things to tab in just by using the space when her forearm is folded a little, and her wrist swivel slot. That's some intelligent design right here.
Despite Minerva not being a headmaster, I look forward having her.

Yeah, it's a little strange how they specifically said they were aiming for Iron-Man red and gold, but somehow ended up with a lot of purple. I would have preferred a darker red instead of purple that fades into the rest of the red.
