He can hang out with all the other non-Season 1 Beast Wars outliers like Shadow Panther, Grimlock, Skywarp, Mutant Tigatron, T-Wrecks, Transmutate, Nemesis Primal, Skywasp, Sandstorm, Buzzsaw, Transmetal II Megatron, Lio Convoy, Copy Convoy, Antagony, Tasmania Kid, Tigerhawk, and Magmatron.

I think he just meant characters that appeared on the original Mainframe BW TV series, of which - yes there is still Tigerhawk and TM II Megatron. (Transmutate I don't count because she wasn't a Fossilizer in the show)

I could see down the line Quickstrike as a Kingdom Scorponok retool. Rampage and Depthcharge would have to bee all new toys of course. They seem to be staying away from Transmetals proper though, probably because of the expense of Vac Metal. The affore mentioned Tigerhawk and BW II Megatron don't seem to suffer too bad without it. However, I know fans would probably not be happy if they started doing Transmetals en masse without the "metal"

Man, by 1:00 central time Wheeljack was already sold out...
I'm a little surprised by that. And slightly annoyed that now I'm not sure how I'll get him.
Looks like people weren't overly bothered by the backpack issue.

Also, why is Gears not on Amazon??

Sold out. Thats why I wrote my title as such, these toys are selling out quickly at certain retailers.

Currently Gears is available on Hasbro Pulse to preorder, that's as of 5:48 central time.

DO NOT give Hasbro any ideas, that would be terrible. The two have absolutely nothing in common in bot mode, they could never do a convincing Quickstrike that way. There's no real need to use the Scorponok mold again anyway, it's already been used 3 times just for Scorponok alone and again for Sandstorm and there's still potential for a Double Punch repaint at some point.

I hope a crack at quickstrike would have an updated design, or at least the arms... or at least that one "claw" hand that's just the alt mode legs lol

I'd be game for that as a new version of Quickstrike, but if it's a WFC/Legacy version of Quickstrike, I'd want him to be his goofy self with no proper hands.

Now that you mention it, the ridiculously proportioned arms do fit well with his rootin tootin attitude, everything is bigger in Texas after all

Maybe some minor transformation options with the arms would be the best of both worlds

I can understand Gears selling out on Pulse but Amazon too? Also, EE has it listed for April 2024 so surely a mistake.

It was annoying that Gears sold out so quick, then I spent time trying to find him on Amazon and couldn't for some reason, and now is sold out there too. The one Bot I actually wanted out of the ten...

I don't think it is, people are starting to find different wave 2 figures in stores in other countries now. Amazon says the Voyagers are coming in April, too.

He's the first Sunbow G1 toy of 2024, which is the most popular type of collection in this brand.
However, at Hasbro Pulse, he was still available.

And Chromia selling out there is weird since she is not shortpacked.

I agree, I want a new mold. I definitely want the cool hands gimmick and the scorpion claws turning into feet.

The Hasbro reps in the stream said the toys were meant to be on shelves in April, which makes sense, it's the beginning of Q2.

I am curious how soon it will be before they release Swerve, next year perhaps?

Also brings up the three final Bots Powerglide, Seaspray and Windcharger which obviously require new tooling.

Maybe they could save Swerve for a multipack release with Outback.

Here's the post for cannonball and ferak
I love the pirate lingo on these posts lol
Ferak is looking pretty cool still
I'm happy with the way cannonball turned out. The updated decal is still pretty cool, and I'm glad he's got the grimace and not a smirk

It's intriguing that the first choice was the reactivate Soundwave mold, but the robot mode proportions are so weird imo. I like the way he looks better with the skids mold, especially because I don't have anyone else from that mold and don't plan to get any other version of the mold unless they give crankcase the idw head (highly doubtful)

I'm pretty excited to get all of this subline, I like that in the instagram story he put the guardians of the galaxy song. These guys would be like the transformers version of the ravagers I suppose

Just to be clear here, the toys are only selling out at retailers that offer free shipping through subscription services (Amazon and Pulse). They are still available at specialty retail stores.

I've been examining all the new pictures of Magmatron & Tidal Wave from the Hasbro China event this past weekend.

Its a shame they didn't design AIRLOCK connectors on Tidal Wave for city-building fans like myself (at least none that I've been able to spot). Seems (after skipping them on The Ark) they went out of the way to add them to Cybertron Metroplex & The Nemesis when they really weren't necessary, but skipped them on Tidal Wave which they actually designed a base mode for. :???:

It was only officially revealed less than a week ago, but we can now confirm that Legacy United's only new Wave 2 Core Class figure, Beast Machines Cheetor, has been found at retail in the U.S. While most retailers show a shipping date of April 1st, he can be found now in stores. This example was found at a Target in Centerville, Utah, along with his repacked Wave mates, Energon Megatron and Infernac Bouldercrash.

If Wave 1 distribution was anything to go by, the rest of wave 2 should trickle into stores in the next couple of months.

Have you found any new or newly announced figures in stores in your area? Please let us know, and let us know if you plan plan to pick up the latest addition to the Legacy United line.

Re: Preorders for Transformers Legacy United Wave 2 are Up and Selling Out (2178198)
Posted by Emerje on March 26th, 2024 @ 3:59am CDT

I've only seen Core figures and nothing else from wave one and only at Target. Usually wave one is the wave that gets over saturated in stores, and here we have what will likely be wave two showing up first for many of us.

Unfortunately with all of Legacy using the same SKU retailers don't know the difference. That's why you have 2+ year old product still in some locations. Hasbro made a smart move back in 2018 starting with PotP and making every year a different SKU. I wonder why they changed it for Legacy? Because of my current schedule I barely go into retail stores anymore. But I know I'm not missing much. I believe I had the same experience , only seeing the core class on one occasion at a Target. Thankfully, there's not a lot in this line I'm interested in, just getting them on Amazon.

Thanks to Notrab on Weibo, we have new in hand images of some big ticket Transformers items soon coming our way.

They have in hand images of Legacy United Tidal Wave, Magmatron and the Target Exclusive Target Optimus and Bullseye set. Of course, these images are enhanced with filters, to make the toys look as good as possible. We go get good shots of all of Tidal Wave's many modes. Enjoy!

That Tidal Wave looks better each time I see him. I hope eventually we get a toy/game colors version, and maybe even an Energon version. I'm just annoyed he won't be able to directly transform from warship to robot. He's basically a giant parts former. So was Omega, but still.

just back from having a root about SMYTHS in dublin.

theres an absolute RAKE of leader blitzwings in for 27.99 euro

https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toy ... e/p/225321

which is a great deal.

i presume its the same in the UK with a price about £25 or so. dunno where they came from as he's been absent for an age now.

also TITAN class Nemisis has been reduced to €150. but its pretty much sold out everywhere so thats worth feck all.

theres ONE left in my local (even though the website says its NOT there

) and im tempted to chance another reduction to 100 but TBH its not that bad a price now so may pick it up.

Re: Preorders for Transformers Legacy United Wave 2 are Up and Selling Out (2178235)
Posted by o.supreme on March 27th, 2024 @ 4:09pm CDT

That is a great deal. IN North America, to my knowledge, there hasn't been any reduction in prime on The nemesis. Its sold out at most places. BBTS is taking pre-orders for retail price at $199.99, for anothjer order expected any time, but they've been known to get late orders on Titans (That's How I got Omega Supreme) .

The cheapest 3rd party seller on Amazon is asking $300 :shock:

Cheapest on eBay currently has multiple bidders at $162 + 53.05 shipping. So... People are paying above retail for Titan Nemesis less than a year after its release.

Target is getting another 4 pack this year, as we've gotten in the previous three years. And we now know what it includes thanks to some leaked images.

The content of the exclusive pack are:

G1 Squeezeplay based on the Titans Return Mindwipe mold
Prime Cliffjumper, based on the Legacy Chase retool
Cyberverse Tarn, based on the Legacy Tarn mold (seems to just be a redeco)
Orange BW Tarantulas, referencing the early toy ads and cross sell images, based on the Kingdom Tarantulas mold (sporting the robot head rather than the mutant head)

This is meant to be officially revealed tomorrow.

P. Cliff is all around PERFECT. That's a small miracle for a Legacy Prime figure. Too bad it's in a 4 pack where I don't give a single F about the others.

Re: Preorders for Transformers Legacy United Wave 2 are Up and Selling Out (2178246)
Posted by Razorbeast88 on March 27th, 2024 @ 8:20pm CDT

Dammit. I really want that cliffjumper. That would be the definitive version of him in my collection

But the others are a waste of space and money for me. Money is one thing but I really am tight on space and want to stick only with characters I'm really attached to and versions of them I want most

Extra spiderbot and ugly monster guy, fine I guess. But Tarn bothers me the most. I already have the other version with the better paint job. That one I can't even do mental gymnastics to justify in my head.
