Transformers Legacy United Animated Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Revealed

Oh my god, Optimus looks AMAZING!!! They did him justice.

If the feet were right on Bee, I would say they got him right too. That is about the only thing wrong with either one of them.

I'm liking the Optimus more then the Bumblebee. These are both pick ups for me. As long as they keep doing a good job with my favorite TF series I'll add them to my collection.

Also I'm glab they showed Primes. If there is one Prime that should always show his face it's this one.

So Uni stood for United rather than Universe as some theorised, an easy mistake to make.

Optimus looks the best one yet, we know what else will be in this wave don't we from leaks?

Not bad for Optimus, despite the shins molded details that are weird and the messy truck rear.

JTPrime teased the name almost a full month ago.

"Once all is revealed hopefully the toyline will finally be United."

My word! I didn't see much of Animated, and only got Grimlock as a figure. Not sure why. But those two? I reckon I'll defo get that Optimus and probably the Bumblebee!

Prime looks pretty good, his legs look a bit messy with the cheap looking wheels but not minding what they have done with the forearms. vehicle mode going to 6 wheels intead of 4 might have been needed for rolling purposes. At voyager price he should have the faceplate gimmick though or interchangable heads.

Bee might look better with the rims of his feet painted black and shouldnt look too much like all the other non animated bees that have the bumpers on the feet pointing forwards.

Animated Optimus might be the best example and use of an uniform art style for this line. His proportions and detail look good while still resembling the character model.

On a personal note,his transformation seens based on the deluxe toy, so that is a win for me.

Great work work Hastak!

Bro, you got or are getting Commander Armada Prime, right?

I like these animated reveals even though I wasn't a fan of the show or aesthetic. One thing that kinda disappoints me is that Prime doesn't have the flip up face plate and his axe doesn't look like it opens for a double sided blade.

I like what I see with Optimus so far. The only drawback is that it looks like he won't have the flip-up face mask that the original Voyager had. On the plus side, the Legacy version of his axe looks much better than that weird flyswatter they had for the original Voyager...

Optimus looks pretty good. The lower legs are a little iffy but the upper body is spot on, love the axe and love the face sculpt. I wouldve like a mouthplate gimmick as I've always preferred Optimus that way but this one looks solid either way. Maybe there'll be a variant down the line with a mouthplate in a buzzworthy pack or something

That being said, I'm on the fence about this guy. Might get him and headcanon him as Orion Pax or something

On the fence about Bumblebee too. Looks great, but I might wanna wait on a Prime universe Bee down the line

This makes me excited for a tf animated Ratchet. That's hands down my favorite version of ratchet, which is why I don't currently own any ratchet figures. Prime universe ratchet is a close second though

Every year my signature gets a little closer to coming true

Can't wait to see Tigerhawk
That'll be an instant preorder

Also really excited for tasmanian kid and thundertron

Animated OP and 'Bee both look great, but Optimus is definitely the best of the two.

Looks really good. Not feeling the stubby feet though.

Glad the spinny waist gimmick was done away with.

The lack of face mask is a bit of a downer though, and the stubby feet are less that great, but otherwise, he's a decent attempt.

Will go well with Bulkhead who I still sustain looks more like Animated than Prime.

Bee is fine. Might just pick him up.

That leaves Ratchet for a "complete" season 1 Autobot cast.

Will we get a Grimlock? Lockdown? Seeker?

THe Original, for those wanting to compare:

His robot head (which is the only true "Bulkhead" part of that figure) would disagree:

Just a couple new photos of the Legacy UNITED Animated OP:

Granted. His head is Prime, but the APC alt mode, is most definitely Gi-efied Animated.

Overcracker wrote:Granted. His head is Prime, but the APC alt mode, is most definitely Gi-efied Animated.

In one of the designer Instagram posts, it was admitted that Legacy Bulkhead's altmode was instead inspired by AOE Hound, and that the Amazon Wreckers redeco was made to give the figure an even bigger resemblance to Hound. So they just straight up admitted that they chose not to base the new Bulkhead figure directly on either existing Bulkhead.

Still, the APC mode resemblance can't be denied.

I want him, the plan is to save up money, because the conversion of US Dollar to Brazil Real is not kind right now.

I feel the upper torso specially, is based on the deluxe:




Aslo another display of attention to detail is that they managed to give the impression that are only wheels on the back part of truck, just like in show:

I don't know why people are so hooked up on Bumblebee's feet. It may not be toy accurate, but it is cartoon accurate which is clearly what their goal was. It does suffer from a lack of paint, but the details are there. ToyHax will come through for sure.

I know "better engineering" is the reason often sighted, which I can understandtoa degree, but with this....It just really stretches that logic, especially when I see a $25 USD price tag of something that shouldn't cost more than $15. I know it would probably be a nightmare for plan o grams, but the original TFs had many different price points and scales. Not just 3 or 4 and we just try to shove everything in-between upscale because there is nothing between a $10-12 core and a $25 deluxe currently.

We need a Generations Warrior Class like Cyberverse and Earthrise to sit between Core and Deluxe.

Only thing is I don't want the figures to necessarily be smaller than Deluxe unless it suits the character. I feel like sometimes they work themselves into a corner trying to fit figures into Deluxe class. Are they really going to make a convincingly complex Deluxe rock? We'll see.

Warrior Class is roughly the same same size as Deluxe, the figures are made with less plastic and have a gimmick.

Why not fully commit to it and give that version a "G1nified" AoE Hound head?

I kinda did with the Genera Optimus Prime reprolabels set and the extra weapons of Red Cog, but that's not perfect.

Optimus looks pretty good. Hopefully they don't tinker with Motormaster much, besides the head.

Primes torso looks a bit off, I think because that black section under the windshield was part of the arms with the old voyager figure

He goes straight from chest to waist lol no abdomen there

That's what I'm saying, not everything needs to be complex at the Deluxe "size", simple is fine to, but lower the price accordingly. But forgo the action features.

Speak for yourself, I need more action in my life.

Fans have been getting Legacy leader class Nova Prime for the past couple of weeks and for those who still don't have it yet and want as much info as possible, we have some reviews from the community to share. Below you will find a video review and a pictorial review from our community members.

-Kanrabat- wrote:Got the (Amazon exclusive?) Nova Prime!

First, that's big, sturdy box! The insides of the packaging must be quite premium.



...Or not.



I noticed that the whole thing was put face-down.





The super bot looks awesome, except for the hollow firetruck things. I'll be looking forward an upgrade kit.



The mini Prime is nice. Like a clone of Magnus.



The transformation was full of TRAPS. The worst one being the legs-armor's "panels". Those are screwed in place and are not meant to be moved. As for the rest, it's so different than Siege/Kingdom Magnus that I had to look up the instructions to know what to do. That's rare.
The final truck is pretty damn nice.



I'll be looking forward some upgrade kit and the Reprolabels.

We thanks Razorbeast88 for sharing with us a review from Chefatron. This is a review of the newly revealed Transformers Legacy United deluxe Animated Bumblebee. Here we can see comparisons to the original, along with all the accessories and how the figure can handle them. You'll let us know what you think!

technically the changes are from galaxy upgrade optimus which nova is closer to than the magnus figures

The only molding changes are the new super head, super chest, and the wings.
That's still a lot.

I skipped on G.U Optimus because I already have the Galaxy Force original and saw no point with a DOWNGRADE.
But that Nova Prime make it worth it to own the mold. I'm sure with some filler parts and especially the Reprolabels, he will be ultimate.

New shoulders too

There is lots of remolding in the abdomen as well. Pretty cool because the fact that both the abdomen and super chest are remolded makes the main nova prime mode look completely different from the waist up.

Yup. Those too.

So overall, for those who already have G.U Optimus, getting Nova barely count as "double-dipping."

What's different about the abdomen from Galaxy Upgrade Optimus? Looking at pics of the two, I'm not seeing anything different but the colors.

It's minor, but the headlights have been retooled as well, probably owing to the windshield being replaced with an opaque piece. The rest of the detailing was already present on Galaxy Prime, but drowned out by the white paint.

OOf, age gets to all of us, man

I just got an email from Hasbro Pulse saying that Nacelle is “no longer available” and that my order has been cancelled! I preordered immediately months ago, and was charged for the pre-order just last week.

Same thing happened to me. They must be writing off the whole shipment due to the mystery substance. Amazon still has it, I'm taking my chances there. I guess Nacelle isn't too toxic for them.

Meh, it's in stock at Amazon.

USA:
https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-TRA ... 553&sr=1-1?tag=seibertron07-20&

Canada:
https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Transformers ... 182&sr=1-4?tag=seibertron0b-20&

We have some disappointing news for those who ordered their Transformers Legacy Nacelle from Hasbro Pulse: they are cancelling those orders.

For those who ordered this figure from Pulse, Pulse began charging customers last week for Nacelle, which usually leads to a shipping email within a couple of days. However, overnight Pulse began sending out cancellation emails for Nacelle, including a later notice of refund for the order. One of those emails, from Seibertron user Mindmaster, is included below.

While we have no way of knowing for sure or confirming what the reason would be for these cancellations, there were reports emerging when Nacelle was originally shipping from Amazon of white puffy substances found on multiple figures, which has been suspected to be everything from materials to help the plastic leave its factory mold to actual mold itself, with no concrete answer or confirmation as to what the substance really is. Again, we do not know if that is the reason Pulse is cancelling orders, but it is worth noting here.

Let us know if you were one of the unlucky members to have your Pulse Nacelle cancelled. And if you were, Amazon still has him in stock should you still desire one.

I got the cancel notice overnight. Just bought one on Amazon instead. Bring on the mold!

Couldn't it just be a case of more people having placed orders with Hasbro Pulse than the amount they had in stock? It is, after all, and Amazon exclusive first and foremost, and Hasbro Pulse has typically had less stock of exclusives belonging to another retailer.
