I hear that one speculated reason the designers didn't commit all the way to Rock Lords is because of legal reasons. Hasbro probably owns the characters because they bought Tonka in the early 90s, but Bandai may have a claim to the toys because they helped develop them with Tonka back in the day. The concept art of Magneous even has a deco that looks exactly like Boulder's.
I was just thinking as to why Magneous came apart in such an odd way and I thought it might have something to do with a combine mode that all the rock guys could combine into. If they do all combine, I do hope that it does resemble that of prime unicron, so that eventually an exclusive pack might happen. But hey, I can only dream.
I think the reason for the legs not detaching is for stability reasons, meaning maybe in the future maybe those infernacs will be able to combine into a "humanoid" combiner maybe ? and magneous serving as center piece ?(chest)
These rock characters are actually based on rock creatures in g1 that weren't transformers but could transform and apparently combine. But in my mind, they look like a different breed of transformer
Pretty wild Hasbro brought back the Rock Lords lol Not sure I'll pick these guys up... maybe at some point after getting other characters I'm more interested in, but can't blame anyone for being interested in these guys- they do look like sweet toys. That said I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more Junkions.
The mould has potential so I'll wait for a repaint, hopefully it'll be into lapis, marble or gold I think those rock would go great with my siege Ultra Magnus.
I heard the people of Lithone were originally supposed to be rock monsters (hence the name), so I can’t help but imagine these guys as another continuity’s version of Lithonians.
Could of used some paint details for like magma glowing in the rock seams, but overall the whole take on rock transformers is too amusing to pass up. Also that chest with the wheels folded in like that is REALLY distinct I don't think a transformer has ever done that before.
If I were to take a guess why they turn into cars/motorcycles (in Bouldercrash’s case), I would say it’s mainly due to the target audience not being interested in transforming robots that turn into plain rocks, and I think the designers knew that so they gave Bouldercrash and Magneous actual vehicles instead of plain rocks.
I actually think the rocky truck alt mode is really cool and am gonna be picking this guy up. Shame on the compatibility issues with the Junkions but i still really like his design the most out of all the Infernacs so far
I remember when Rock Lords first showed up in stores, had a couple because my parents heard i wanted transformers and thought those counted as such....
I just picked this guy up today and I am so glad I did. I really really like the fusion of the "Rock Lords" into the Transformers Mythos. As a kid who played with these in the 80's and got shit on because they were not "real transformers " back then I can definitely say this is a WIN WIN for me now. The review is great and definitely one of the reasons I wanted to pick this guy up, but truth be told as I transformed it and picked it up the attention to detail with the rocky fabrication makes this a figure that's More than meets the eye and Worthy of an Autobot or Decepticon Branding. I might get a rubsign for this bad boy.
I actually love Magneous and his design. Whenever I get a new transformer I always look up your reviews so I get the most out of each new transformer. I see Magneous as an Autobot / Maximal, due to his strong but gentle eyes of gold. I feel like most decepticons have red aggressive eye color and angry faces, where this bot has a firm but relaxed expression. The strong gentle type of you will.
Thinking about it, I think the fact that you can take off the rock parts like armor panels makes me think that the other Armorizers for this line are going to be extremely swappable with each other over being armor for other figures.
I still think the Junkions were cooler and I miss them a ton, but this does look nice Hopefully this isn't like the Fossilisers where they peak with the first Deluxe
I grew up with more Gobots & Rock Lords than Transformers due to cost. So these really make me happy to see now. Really hope they do something grand with the idea.
Thank you so much for this video. My Magenous was also very stiff, so much so in fact that I could not follow the instructions properly at all. Unlike your much better method of just slightly lifting the shoulders to free the chest, the official instructions expect you to be able to actually move those out of the way completely. IMPOSSIBLE with my Magneous who was so stiff he may as well have actually been a rock, lol. Now to transform him back and never turn him into a truck again. Thank you very much once more for the video!!
you know, seeing scrap-hook again really makes me wish we would get a legacy battleTrap from ROTB as a repaint for this mould think battle trap would work instaney good as a apocalyptic tow truck
While i did enjoy the junkions, THIS. I dig this. This is my kinda stuff man; cool Rocks + Cool vehicles? My jam 100%. Only issue i find is his Waist being a little too thin in my eyes, but i still love how he looks.
I'll not be using mine as an armoriser when he arrives as I really like the look of the bot mode. However, the fact he can't break apart like a Junkion is a bit silly and makes me wonder if he's going to be combinable with future rock figures in some way?
Last payday, I found both this guy and Windblade on the peg @Target. I could only afford one and left with Windblade. Hoping I can find this guy again. Hate that I had to leave him behind, he looks absolutely bad ass
I want Magneous and any future deluxe rock guy to get redeco’d into light blue and one into purple. Purely just so I can make a Transformers version of Diamondhead from Ben 10 Alien Force
Curious if there will be a unique combination specifically with the Dinosaur Skeletons weaponisers with the Rock Lords. Conceptually I love the idea of the Skeleton dinosaurs transforming with rocks they were buried in. Maybe you could make a Trex Rock lord combiner.
Surprised that no one has brought up that the line name,.INFERNAK. Was taken, and no doubt an homage to a sadly lost Hasbro toyline, the Inhumanoids. Infernak was name of the kingdom, headquarters of Inhumanoids' leader, Metlar. Infernak was located at the Earth's core. And Metlar could use the primal energies of Infernak to animate, stone statues. Giving them a semblance of life. Immediately thought of this when I heard the name of this TRANSFORMERS LEGACY line.
2:43 i would say magneous's faction is like its own kind like the mercenarys but his own faction though a bit more alligned to the autobots but seperate enough that it is its own faction
I've just seen a piece on Reddit about stress marks on this but I couldn't see in the pics but lots of others have also pointed it out. Have you seen the combined mode with shard
Outstanding review PrimeVsPrime!!! I really like the idea of the Rock Lords transforming into stone vehicles, just like The Flintstones. lol Until they become more fleshed out as Transformers characters, I'm going to assume that all the Legacy United Armorizers/Rock Lords are good guys, since they are actually factionless robots. lol Keep on being amazing.
I think the Infernac squad are supposed to be evil, but in a Quintesson kind of way: they are not aligned with the Decepticons and will screw them as well. But damn, he´s cooler than I thought. One question, though, didn´t he have any faction insignia anywhere?
@@PrimeVsPrime yea, I honestly think the jinkions were the best part of legacy, and when lock down comes out I’m hoping it will be a repaint and a tiny retool of axelgrease
me 0.0000000001 seconds after u say the junkions are better: WWWHHHAAATATTTTT HHOOWWWWW????? THIS IS NEW AND COOL THE JUNKIONS AS DIFFERENT AS THEY ARE ARE STILL KNOWN THIS IS LIKE ASKING SOMEONE HOW MANY LEGO BRICKS IS IN THE LEGO DEATH STAR AND IDK HOW THIS IS BAD COMPARED TO THE OLD THE LINE FAILED AND BURNED THIS IS MAING THEM GOOD AND IM FENDING THIS TILL I DIE WITH MY TOMB STONE BEING MADE OF THIS i like magneous :)
I hope legacy releases more and mor of these so we can get another combinder like the junkions well if they do combine and release more but if they do , junkasuars will have a opponent
I’ve waited for this review since the reveal. I’ll only get all of them if the rumour about a combiner made out of the 4 of them (I think according to leaks there are 2 more between wave 2-4). But I still think this is a good figure
Hes a rock...but hes a car/truck....but hes a rock....hes a car...hes a rock......hes a car.........hes a rock.......my brain hurts. Tbh this guy looks great actually! His head sculpt is pure fire, or should I say magma? lol

The concept art of Magneous even has a deco that looks exactly like Boulder's.
No, his concept has a deco that looks like Sticks N' Stones.
If you also want to theorize…his weapon is literally a sword hilt for a possible combiner. Perhaps?
Also curious about that especially with the design of Bouldercrash with that spine handle.
This might also be a use of the otherwise limited torso chunk you're left with when this guy is disassembled.
Dino Skeletons, Micromaster Playsets, Junkions, now Rock Lord Homages.
Wesponizers are all over the place. But I dig it.
It keeps things fresh
It would be nice to see these Rock Lord moulds retooled into Junkions, or maybe the other way around.
More Junkions is always awesome! 🔥
Yeah. maybe with the leg function from the Junkions. I *really* love the wheels-on-chest look for this guy, though. It'd work *so well* on a Junkion.
If they dont do a Prime Universe Unicron in this subline, there missing out!
I really need a new Unicron figure! Hasbro need to get cooking 🔥
I doubt they would do a unicron figure so soon after the haslab one @@PrimeVsPrime
It will just be square
Titan, commander, or leader?
I was just thinking as to why Magneous came apart in such an odd way and I thought it might have something to do with a combine mode that all the rock guys could combine into. If they do all combine, I do hope that it does resemble that of prime unicron, so that eventually an exclusive pack might happen. But hey, I can only dream.
I love the way this looks and I really like the wheels folding in to become his chest, I don't think any other character design has done that
I am not sure if you're referring to a specific group of figures but Studio Series Stinger does that
@@kilowatonBluraystinger has the wheels inside the chest, not on the chestplate, and they’re not part of the design, since he’s an aoe character
I think the reason for the legs not detaching is for stability reasons, meaning maybe in the future maybe those infernacs will be able to combine into a "humanoid" combiner maybe ? and magneous serving as center piece ?(chest)
These rock characters are actually based on rock creatures in g1 that weren't transformers but could transform and apparently combine. But in my mind, they look like a different breed of transformer
These rock guys are an interesting addition to legacy
I agree! Definitely quite wacky! I would’ve liked more Junkions honestly
Are u sure rock material are good?
They're kinda no sense because we don't know what they're siding with
Man you need a pretty colourful imagination to make these look like armour on other toys. I love the look of him as his own bot though
I had that old Rock Lord try as a kid. Got it in a Garage sale back then.
Pretty wild Hasbro brought back the Rock Lords lol
Not sure I'll pick these guys up... maybe at some point after getting other characters I'm more interested in, but can't blame anyone for being interested in these guys- they do look like sweet toys.
That said I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more Junkions.
I agree mate! Wacky idea but it looks really cool! Like yourself tho, I would’ve much rather more Junkions! 🔥🔥🔥
The mould has potential so I'll wait for a repaint, hopefully it'll be into lapis, marble or gold I think those rock would go great with my siege Ultra Magnus.
*Magneous transforms*
Me: “I was expecting a giant rock”
I heard the people of Lithone were originally supposed to be rock monsters (hence the name), so I can’t help but imagine these guys as another continuity’s version of Lithonians.
I really like how the backpack can be remove. Now it leave a hole in the back for it to Armorize itself up with its companion.
These new figures really rock!
I’ll show myself out.
Could of used some paint details for like magma glowing in the rock seams, but overall the whole take on rock transformers is too amusing to pass up. Also that chest with the wheels folded in like that is REALLY distinct I don't think a transformer has ever done that before.

Right? Like I understand the nostalgia and the fact that they originally did turn into rocks, but a vehicle that actually rolls has more play value.
I actually think the rocky truck alt mode is really cool and am gonna be picking this guy up. Shame on the compatibility issues with the Junkions but i still really like his design the most out of all the Infernacs so far
I like how you used a reference from the Flintstone! Had a feeling!😂😂😂
😅 the second I saw this guy I was like 👀 definitely flintstones inspired
Thanks! Yabba Dabba Do!

Literally lol! 😅😆
Next will be Stone Cold 😆
even slipped in a john cena figure in the background thinking we wouldn't notice
0:50 bakugan jumpscare

Hopefully this isn't like the Fossilisers where they peak with the first Deluxe
I grew up with more Gobots & Rock Lords than Transformers due to cost. So these really make me happy to see now. Really hope they do something grand with the idea.
I can’t wait to collect all of these guys
Cool direction for the classic rock lords. Quite a few play options.

This weaponizer gimmick started with siege with cog
Kingdom with fossilizers
Legacy evolution with junkions
Legacy united with rock lord amorizer
This is a great figure! I highly recommend getting this guy! His head sculpt is amazing! Definitely one of the best figures of 2024 so far!
Rock Lords meets Transformers? nice
you know, seeing scrap-hook again really makes me wish we would get a legacy battleTrap from ROTB as a repaint for this mould think battle trap would work instaney good as a apocalyptic tow truck
I dig this dude. Can't wait to see more of them
While i did enjoy the junkions, THIS. I dig this. This is my kinda stuff man; cool Rocks + Cool vehicles? My jam 100%. Only issue i find is his Waist being a little too thin in my eyes, but i still love how he looks.
honestly they could do a whole supplementary toyline out of these
I never thought I'd see the day when they rebooted Rock Lords. As a kid I always thought, "What's fun about a rock?"
Your the best transformers reviewer ever ❤
Thanks mate! That’s very kind! 🔥🔥

Woah! This guy gives me Mad Max vibes!!!
Me too! The vehicles have taken some inspiration from the Junkions! 🔥🔥
He looks sick! I’m definitely going to pick him up
He’s really bad ass!
Hey guys! I know that this isnt related with this figure at all, but which figure do u prefer? Battletrap ss 99 or bludgeon legacy evolution
FINNALY I WAS WAITING THIS FOR 1 MONTH
Thanks for your patience 🙏🏻🔥
I preordered Chase! And Windblade 🔥
Sweet, I've been waiting for someone to do a review on this guy.
Thanks for checking it out!

05:10. He finally gets around to disassembly for armorizing. :P
This Rocks!
This guy looks great! 🤩
I'd weaponize Infernac with Slammer. The colors would run good with him and make up for his lack of accessories.
I might pick this up when it’s released looks Amazing
I'm hoping it's a complete new faction.
Fantastic video 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Thanks very much mate!
@@PrimeVsPrime Your Welcome 🤗
👍😎Can’t wait to buy this figure!
Thanks! Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃👍
I'm wondering Are Magnus and the rock lords going to have their own combined mode???

Ah thank you buddy! Much appreciated!
2:43 i would say magneous's faction is like its own kind like the mercenarys but his own faction though a bit more alligned to the autobots but seperate enough that it is its own faction
Looks like if Battletrap made his own armor out of stone. Don’t know how he’d do it, but I can still see it.
I'm more interested in combining these rock Armorizers with the Fossilizers. That makes way more sense thematically.
That figure looks amazing I’m picking it up for sure
It’s cool 👌🏻
Ya
Hey I got a question do you think they will re-issued the studio series 86 Grimlock like they did for slag
Hey PrimeVsPrime what is that music that I faintly hear in the background? Its rad!
Hey mate! It’s called “keep breathing” by NEFFEX 🔥
@@PrimeVsPrime Thank you so much mate!

neat alt mode, i would say they are likely neutral neither bot or con like gnaw and the other sharkticons

@@PrimeVsPrime You don't have to, but I still love it!
What, no rock mode?
It was showcased in behind the scenes stuff

Legacy NEEDS idw sixshot leader class and the predicons to combine into prediking
I hope legacy releases more and mor of these so we can get another combinder like the junkions well if they do combine and release more but if they do , junkasuars will have a opponent
Ahora solo los imagino como depredadores de los junkions, atrapando los y fusionando los minerales a los cuerpos explicando su falta de chispa xD
Now seeing it, I think its going to combine with the others in a more "solid" combiner. But that's my guess ^^
The Transformers/Dwayne Johnson crossover looks lit
I’m really hoping hasbro bring out those battle beast dudes or any type of obscure tf media
