Legacy year 1: practically an extension of Kingdom Legacy year 2: rounding out different teams and testing the waters for different continuities Legacy year 3: just going fucking insane
@@nfortyeightScourge was a Laser Prime redeco just like how Skybyte is just a repaint of Transmetal Cybershark. Scourge is totally good enough. Nothing wrong with making Scourge a Laser Prime retool again.
Bumblebee really excites me not just because of the fact that were getting toys of Animated characters but also the fact that this brings up the possibility of a Wasp redeco since he missed his chance at a toy back when Animated got cancelled in 2010. I mean if they're gonna do a freaking MOTORMASTER from Animated Optimus, they better well do a Wasp from Bumblebee.
My theory (probably a conspiracy one) is that most of G1 will be just released in Studio Series, with the excpetion of chacters who straight up didn't appear in the movie.
Honestly I disagree, stuff like Gears or Octane could use Legacy figures It's not about the show, it's about the character. Anti-geewunners are just as salty as geewunners.
So glad the Hasbro G1 shaboinboing is over. Especially since we basically lost the movie line for more g1 related movie designs. I think guys like optimus should probably always have a g1 style toy in rotation but no I did not need to have a toy for every rando that showed up for 5 min in an ep before something from armada the line that basically saved transformers at the time
@Cashmoneez apparently if you were to say that on twitter or Reddit there a bunch of 40 year olds who would come at you and say hasbro is a business and they will do what makes them money or that the 86 is technically a movie they will either one of these things . I have seen worse many of them are like let bayverse die just sucks man . And not to mention did you see what hasbro did to bulkhead and arcee ? They literally made them g1 style
Okay, so I know most people don't care, but since my main show of focus is Rescue Bots you have the net launchers on chase on the wrong sides which means that The Colours on the siren are supposed to be the opposites, so Red Launcher on the blue part of the siren side, and Vice Versa.
Chase’s figure fascinates me the most. It’s so odd to see a character from a show/toyline for preschoolers as a complete figure with full articulation and a more complex transformation.
Chase works perfect for me, I think it's just that the windshield has a specific slot that it goes into under the hood to make it work. I really want to get Windblade soon, I think besides Tigerhawk, she's the only one of the wave one United I don't have as of today

Really love bumblebee's posability. Knees are super deep and by using the ab crunch you can bring his knees all the way up to his chest. And the head being able to look straight up. Really feels like they made sure he could move like he does in the cartoon.
I'm surprised Legacy hasn't tried making Bayverse characters into G1 style. I'd LOVE to see Blackout, Barricade, Bonecrusher from bayverse done in g1 styles. I don't mean g1 toys of characters that share the name. I mean for example the helicopter blackout made into that cartoony style

I genuinely love there's so little off the table now that they can do now that they've deviated from being so fixed on pure G1. Beast Era was a good start and now it's about time the other 25 years of Transformers got some proper love too. The fact Legacy has so much variety as a line fans can theorize about potential releases like RID Optimus Prime, more TFA and RB characters and even a fucking Big Convoy figure is the best outcome for me because they all have a proper chance of being made real.
I'm legit SUPER excited for what Legacy will do with the Animated Decepticon designs. I ALWAYS wanted to see Starscream and Megatron done in a more traditional way. (We already kind of got Blitzwing and Lugnut, but I would gladly take new versions)
I'll never understand why people love G1... every damn figure feels the same and let's be honest they all look shit lol. They're all rectangles with eyes and it's just so boring to look at and handle. The oversaturation of G1 makes me appreciate Bay so much more. He did something different and made improvements in many places, like the characterisation and design of Ironhide, and Crosshairs.
The rescue bots song hit me more than I thought it would Watched all 4 seasons of that show multiple times over with my little brothers and it never got old
I feel like Transformers goes through cycles of doing new iterations of G1, and coming out with some brand new iteration of the IP that it experiments with. Having time to celebrate all the stuff in between is heartwarming.

Barricade isn't happening i Literally Googled EVERY BARRICADE OUT THERE and how many worked that body type?... zero i know where to buy these, but i ain't yet because they still ain't in that store, Rocklords i'm getting, animated designs i'm iffy on but eh and tigarhawk has grown on me 4:52 ITS GOJIRA?!
Really loving seeing characters outside of g1 being represented. And some somewhat new(repurposed rocklord) characters. I really hope we get more original characters here soon but the ones were getting are great!

@@CrimsonAzure-fh6ybnot really, unless they force their opinions that X continuity is better than G1, I'd say geewunners are still the worse on the TF community
I returned to collecting at the end of 22 and barely experienced Legacy releases until Evolution. I say with full honesty that Legacy United Wave 1, with just 2 core class (Dont got Tasmania Kid) and the deluxes, this is my favorite wave ever in Transformers history I got Magneous for my Bday (23rd last month) and it makes me sad he probably won't get good reception cus he is awesome
Moving on from G1 in a bigger way was bound to happen at some point. Tons of the G1 characters have gotten fairly ideal toy versions at this point, and any new ones aren’t likely to improve upon existing versions in a big way. I’m happy about that since it means less stuff for me to track down. I have nothing against the later iterations…I wish I had space for all of them. But I have to draw the line somewhere due to a lack of space. I like that TFA Bee and RB Chase…would love to get them, honestly.
I don’t think more or less g1 is inherently positive or negative, it’s about what you want If you want g1 it might be a negative to not have any, if you don’t like g1 it might be a positive
Chase is the only one of these I have and I bought him almost entirely on name, rather than what id usually do where id buy it for the actual toy. However, ive been needing both a chase and rescue bots to have proper generations engineering since growing up with the show at around age 4 (age I was when it came out in I think 2012) as not only would I always see the bots doing things such as basic poses and be disapointed that the toys couldnt do any of it, being one-step changers or odd little goober statues, but chase was the only one of the main four I never got the toy of. I really hope Hasbro makes heatwave boulder and blades because they can be sure that I will buy them on the spot no matter what pricepoint they sell them at (but hopefully deluxe because I'm broke). Also, while he does have the goober shoulders and the stupid hecking unnecessary inaccurate kibble wings, my big problem is actually that the knees are way too high up, preventing him from kneeling down and interacting with smaller life forms such as oh I dont know, the hecking humans he was supposed to learn from in the show!? Also the transformation iant that bad once you get used to it and the car mode is not only very clearly a mustang even down to the taillights, (which are often the first thing Hasbro changes to avoid angry car companies), but its also mostly accurate to the show model (minus some proportional differences as well as some hood and side deco), which was also a mustang and very close to the original toy that was also clearly a mustang. And while the shoulders are wrong, I cant blame them for being unable to replicate the show desighn and at least they referenced it with a little bit of tooling. Honestly I'm really hoping toyhax makes a labels set for chase, where they add the white to his shoulders, fix the insignia to be the rescue bots logo, and add some real world police decos like they did with er prowl.
I remember my parents got me deluxe Animated Bee when I was like 5 or 6 and never learned how to transform it, I always asked one of my brothers to transform it for me. I’m definitely getting the Legacy one.
Imo Chase's weird wrist has to do with the different colored plastic. Probably somewhere during development the designers thought that it would be easier or more economic to make a separate piece than paint the fists and the hinge might've been the easiest way to attach it to the arm (I don't know much about molding costs etc but that's what sounds more logical to me)
I don’t have a least favorite deluxe in this wave, but I do have a *favorite* I would rank it 3-windblade 2-Animated Bee 1- Rescue Bots Chase I don’t have rock because I don’t want rock. I’ve been having the most fun with Chase out of the deluxes in this wave.
really don't get why people keep asking chase to be retooled into a barricade, he's already a white and blue police car so the "retool" into barricade would just be a headswap lol. like i know hasbro is lazy but that's not even a redeco/repaint, it would essentiallty be just the same figure also the car parts placement like 90% match the cyberverse lockdown design (hood chest, taillights feet, door arms) it's bewildering that prime cliff is the one people keep jumping to just bcs of the exhausts 😅
a few things i wanna say: 1. you hade windblades back-side fin thingies folded down and not out the whole time. 2. some advice for chase; when transforming him to his car mode, after you fit one arm into the car, you then wrap the back panel around the arm, then you do the other arm. id start with the figures right arm as you have the figure facing away from you as you do it. 3. when was the last time we had a proper mainline bumblebee figure that wasn't a movie figure or an exclusive? titans return? jeez...
I'm so happy they are making rescue bots, that show was my introduction into transformers, I hope they make the rest of the team, definitely picking chase up
I'd jump on the Windblade rn were it not for the fact a Slipstream listing was leaked and i'm pretty sure it will be made from Windblade. She looks so good.
I have the others just not magneous so I can't speak on him but out of the three my rankings are 1- Chase 2- Bee 3- Windblade Chase is my favorite and is absolute in the top 10 of my collection. he's so much fun to transform and looks awesome and it makes me really want the rest of the team, even went back and watched Rescue Bot season 1 because of it and honestly the show still holds up. it's free here on youtube(except a full season 2 for some reason). also, doesn't feel like it makes a difference but the instructions told me to turn his head around before transforming. idk why, and i just noticed you skipped it. It was just a odd detail i wanted to point out. I haven't watched Animated in forever, but I love this bee design, and his transformation is just fun. All though the clear plastic boosters are not something I am a fan of. I might end up painting them. Also the wheel gods have blessed me, as the transformation lines up perfectly, the wheels are pinned and he has great clearance so he rolls like an absolute dream Windblade is my least favorite as she does leave a bit to be desired. Im getting a little tired of hasbro and their tendency to give figures only one sword, and hers isn't even a good one. It's a decny jet, and he robot mode is great, the transformation do some cool things, but that damn sword is just off. it's too big, as it feels they focused on having a blast effect more than a sword, and not even a good effect. also, it's not really important, but it bothered me for the rest of the video as it was never addressed/quietly rectified and i have seen no one in the comments mention It but you didn't fold up the back wing things in jet mode. and also i didn't know she had landing gear.
Funny thing, if you spin the pelvis around on Chase then point the toes back forward effectively swapping the legs, his legs just look so much more fitting. The toes angled slope looks more right, the ankle tilt is better, and it just feels like they originally intended that to be his his legs are only to leave them as they are because of budget constraints.
@@crimson7000 I just meant you rotate the pelvis and then rotate the thighs, not actually swapping the limbs. So yeah, he can still transform if you do that, the only downside is his thigh articulation is a bit hindered on the forward rotation due to a bit of vehicle kibble getting in the way, but you can still get him in a lot of additional, fantastic poses thanks to the improved ankle tilt.
I did in fact pick up Magneous and he is so fun to mess around with and he kinda reminds me of like a nemisis prime with the weird chest area in the front but overall it's a great figure.
Was a little on the fence about Magneous, but this review convinced me to go get him. All of these Deluxes look great, and I now plan to try and get most of them whenever I can. The only exception would be Chase, since I don't have any attachment to Rescue Bots, but I do agree that it'd be cool to see him retooled as a Barricade. Also, never noticed this first wave had no explicitly G1 characters, lel. Granted, some decidedly G1 stylings are there, but that's Generations for you - and besides, I like how it's applied just enough to make all these different designs fit together
Exited for chase (maybe more exited for the remolds they'll do for this one). Animated bumblebee is very nice to see. Wish windblade looked better the hollow wings facing front and those megaman wide boot ankles make me sad and a go-bot rocklord is bizzare looking thought it was some movie bot. I really wish they did re-releases of some of the older G1 toys like runamuck and runabout or even those who you could previously only get in sets like earthmode mirrage or the last sideswipe one that got packed with the eagle Thanks for the video! Love how you go in dept with the articulation and build. My ocd wouldve drove me crazy if i didint knew bumblebee's thigh falls off that easy on all of them 😂
G1 got quite a bit of attention throughout Siege and Earthrise so seeing a refresh on some of these designs outside the continuity is really cool to see. Solid wave though I'm most excited for the Wingblade as she looks worth the $35 Canadian and I can finally get a proper replacement for the Thrilling 30 one. Bumblebee I'm hoping to see a discount and Chase I'll wait for the inevitable Prime Cliffjumper release. A Legacy Barricade would also be fun to see. Magneous is a cool idea but personally I'm not much in need of any Rock Lord homages right now.
We finally got a good Windblade (at least to me) also like the lack of g1, 20ish years ago transformers came back with the unicron trilogy in the US anyway and it created a great many transformers fans (me included) and for the 40th we get the awesome Tidal Wave as our titan
Outside a soundwave, because lets face it, g1 soundwave is rare, it's perfect to not have any g1... Fuck Walmart, they scammed me out a preorder for a dudes Christmas present, the assholes. Never buy from them.
I'm all for non g1. I think the other generations beast wars, prime, animated, and so on need more representation. I really want more beast wars from fuzors to transmetal and transmetal 2. Also I really want prime characters, they did a great job with the twins skyquake and dreadwing, so I'd love to see starscream and maybe some predacons.
defo gonna get Chase and Windblade at some stage, I hope they make more rescue bots. the Animated Optimus could be an easy retool for Rescuebot heatwave.
Is there some trick to the legs? I can't get the feet tabbed in or the car front halves together at all. Even after a bit of sanding, they don't go in all the way and don't click into place like the video showed.
I love all of these and I really want to find Magneous now, but I have issue with my own copy of Windblade. The nosecone section is a little fiddly and stiff, it keeps wanting to pop out of the back entirely instead of neatly unfold like yours did in the video. Idk what's up with that. Finally got her transformed tho, love me a chunky jet
Are those wings pinned in on Windblade? If there have to be waffled bits, I'd rather those be on the back, even if I have to remove & swap them myself.
I don’t think Chase will be Barricade for a number of reasons, most of all that one of his more prominent features is having the front bumper be his chest rather than his roof and windshield. Hasbro’s shown us that they can just pop a light bar on any mold and make it an emergency vehicle, so I don’t think it needs to be from Chase, who I don’t think really fits Barricade beyond the alt mode.
Glad that other transformers series are getting the spotlight but there are still g1 characters , I would still like to see get an update or receive their first figures like Autobot X literally the one character that fits the whole parts forming gimmick of the weaponizers since he literally a Frankenstein of mixe Autobot parts .
HUGE yay! Because don't get me wrong, i love G1 but it was starting to get a lil boring and eh. But the totally new characters into the line that we haven't seen in awhile. Especially Animated Optimus and Cyberverse Windblade

If you want g1 it might be a negative to not have any, if you don’t like g1 it might be a positive
I know the new year just started but I recently got Legacy Chase and he is definitely going to be one of my favourite figures of the year already!
As a MegaMan fan, I absolutely aprove that naming at: 8:03
Also, I love Animated Bumblebee! 💛
Chase is the only one of these I have and I bought him almost entirely on name, rather than what id usually do where id buy it for the actual toy. However, ive been needing both a chase and rescue bots to have proper generations engineering since growing up with the show at around age 4 (age I was when it came out in I think 2012) as not only would I always see the bots doing things such as basic poses and be disapointed that the toys couldnt do any of it, being one-step changers or odd little goober statues, but chase was the only one of the main four I never got the toy of. I really hope Hasbro makes heatwave boulder and blades because they can be sure that I will buy them on the spot no matter what pricepoint they sell them at (but hopefully deluxe because I'm broke). Also, while he does have the goober shoulders and the stupid hecking unnecessary inaccurate kibble wings, my big problem is actually that the knees are way too high up, preventing him from kneeling down and interacting with smaller life forms such as oh I dont know, the hecking humans he was supposed to learn from in the show!? Also the transformation iant that bad once you get used to it and the car mode is not only very clearly a mustang even down to the taillights, (which are often the first thing Hasbro changes to avoid angry car companies), but its also mostly accurate to the show model (minus some proportional differences as well as some hood and side deco), which was also a mustang and very close to the original toy that was also clearly a mustang. And while the shoulders are wrong, I cant blame them for being unable to replicate the show desighn and at least they referenced it with a little bit of tooling. Honestly I'm really hoping toyhax makes a labels set for chase, where they add the white to his shoulders, fix the insignia to be the rescue bots logo, and add some real world police decos like they did with er prowl.
It’s always nice to get a wave of Transformers that’s not G1 once in awhile
That toy guy says alt WRONG why ? well............ Alt mode is like not the main mode and Alt mode is second mode 😮 wait he got it all good ............. A aaaaaáaaaaaah (he's gone the one who wrote this )…......…..…...………………………......…..............…. 8:52 8:52 8:53 8:53 8:53 8:53 8:53 8:54 8:54 8:54 8:54 8:54 8:55 8:55 8:55 8:55 8:55 8:56 8:56 8:56 8:56 8:56 8:57 8:57 8:57 8:57 8:57 8:58 8:58 8:58 8:59 8:59 8:59 8:59 8:59 9:00 ha i,am BACK ! Ha hahahahahaha keth keth keth bye bye .😂🎉😢😮😅😅😊😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got into transformers last year, and i'm a big fan of all the g1 toys, but i definitely understand the general distaste of all the g1 oversaturation
4:55 when did you get time to get the Hiya Toys Burning Godzilla toy?
I remember my parents got me deluxe Animated Bee when I was like 5 or 6 and never learned how to transform it, I always asked one of my brothers to transform it for me. I’m definitely getting the Legacy one.
Imo Chase's weird wrist has to do with the different colored plastic. Probably somewhere during development the designers thought that it would be easier or more economic to make a separate piece than paint the fists and the hinge might've been the easiest way to attach it to the arm (I don't know much about molding costs etc but that's what sounds more logical to me)
I don’t have a least favorite deluxe in this wave, but I do have a *favorite*
I would rank it 3-windblade
2-Animated Bee
1- Rescue Bots Chase
I don’t have rock because I don’t want rock.
I’ve been having the most fun with Chase out of the deluxes in this wave.
really don't get why people keep asking chase to be retooled into a barricade, he's already a white and blue police car so the "retool" into barricade would just be a headswap lol. like i know hasbro is lazy but that's not even a redeco/repaint, it would essentiallty be just the same figure
also the car parts placement like 90% match the cyberverse lockdown design (hood chest, taillights feet, door arms) it's bewildering that prime cliff is the one people keep jumping to just bcs of the exhausts 😅
a few things i wanna say:
1. you hade windblades back-side fin thingies folded down and not out the whole time.
2. some advice for chase; when transforming him to his car mode, after you fit one arm into the car, you then wrap the back panel around the arm, then you do the other arm. id start with the figures right arm as you have the figure facing away from you as you do it.
3. when was the last time we had a proper mainline bumblebee figure that wasn't a movie figure or an exclusive? titans return? jeez...
I'm so happy they are making rescue bots, that show was my introduction into transformers, I hope they make the rest of the team, definitely picking chase up
I'd jump on the Windblade rn were it not for the fact a Slipstream listing was leaked and i'm pretty sure it will be made from Windblade. She looks so good.
I found magneous today at my local target and I almost snapped the arm off because of the instructions but he is so fun to play with
BRUH my windblade didn’t have the hair fan when I got her and I’m literally just learning about this now
I have the others just not magneous so I can't speak on him but out of the three my rankings are
1- Chase
2- Bee
3- Windblade
Chase is my favorite and is absolute in the top 10 of my collection. he's so much fun to transform and looks awesome and it makes me really want the rest of the team, even went back and watched Rescue Bot season 1 because of it and honestly the show still holds up. it's free here on youtube(except a full season 2 for some reason). also, doesn't feel like it makes a difference but the instructions told me to turn his head around before transforming. idk why, and i just noticed you skipped it. It was just a odd detail i wanted to point out.
I haven't watched Animated in forever, but I love this bee design, and his transformation is just fun. All though the clear plastic boosters are not something I am a fan of. I might end up painting them. Also the wheel gods have blessed me, as the transformation lines up perfectly, the wheels are pinned and he has great clearance so he rolls like an absolute dream
Windblade is my least favorite as she does leave a bit to be desired. Im getting a little tired of hasbro and their tendency to give figures only one sword, and hers isn't even a good one. It's a decny jet, and he robot mode is great, the transformation do some cool things, but that damn sword is just off. it's too big, as it feels they focused on having a blast effect more than a sword, and not even a good effect.
also, it's not really important, but it bothered me for the rest of the video as it was never addressed/quietly rectified and i have seen no one in the comments mention It but you didn't fold up the back wing things in jet mode. and also i didn't know she had landing gear.
Just like Prowl before him, I love how many nods to the original toy Bee has in his transformation
The G1 style will always be in demand, even remaking new characters into g1 style.
I ordered a Windblade a few days ago, but I'm also gunnin' for both of the Animated releases and Chase. This wave looks freaking fantastic.
As for Chase, we know he's a premold for _someone_ because one of the designers said so in one of the streams. My guess is he's gonna be Lockdown
Even as a G1 collector with a LOT of gaps in my collection, I'm excited that other continuities are getting more of a spotlight now
Windblade is great and I am getting her but I hope Toyhax makes decals which iplmprove the lack of paint in the jet mode
Funny thing, if you spin the pelvis around on Chase then point the toes back forward effectively swapping the legs, his legs just look so much more fitting. The toes angled slope looks more right, the ankle tilt is better, and it just feels like they originally intended that to be his his legs are only to leave them as they are because of budget constraints.
Can it transform that way?
@@crimson7000
I just meant you rotate the pelvis and then rotate the thighs, not actually swapping the limbs. So yeah, he can still transform if you do that, the only downside is his thigh articulation is a bit hindered on the forward rotation due to a bit of vehicle kibble getting in the way, but you can still get him in a lot of additional, fantastic poses thanks to the improved ankle tilt.
@@ToaKoran thanks Ill try this
Two things, you forgot to fold up Windblade's tail fins into jet mode, and Chase's side siren things are on the wrong sides
you got the hiya toys godzilla! is it good
good review!
I did in fact pick up Magneous and he is so fun to mess around with and he kinda reminds me of like a nemisis prime with the weird chest area in the front but overall it's a great figure.
Was a little on the fence about Magneous, but this review convinced me to go get him. All of these Deluxes look great, and I now plan to try and get most of them whenever I can. The only exception would be Chase, since I don't have any attachment to Rescue Bots, but I do agree that it'd be cool to see him retooled as a Barricade.
Also, never noticed this first wave had no explicitly G1 characters, lel. Granted, some decidedly G1 stylings are there, but that's Generations for you - and besides, I like how it's applied just enough to make all these different designs fit together
Anyone know if using panel liner to make the yellow around Bumblebee’s eyes black would be a good idea? I’ve never used panel liner before.
Exited for chase (maybe more exited for the remolds they'll do for this one). Animated bumblebee is very nice to see. Wish windblade looked better the hollow wings facing front and those megaman wide boot ankles make me sad and a go-bot rocklord is bizzare looking thought it was some movie bot.
I really wish they did re-releases of some of the older G1 toys like runamuck and runabout or even those who you could previously only get in sets like earthmode mirrage or the last sideswipe one that got packed with the eagle
Thanks for the video! Love how you go in dept with the articulation and build. My ocd wouldve drove me crazy if i didint knew bumblebee's thigh falls off that easy on all of them 😂
G1 got quite a bit of attention throughout Siege and Earthrise so seeing a refresh on some of these designs outside the continuity is really cool to see. Solid wave though I'm most excited for the Wingblade as she looks worth the $35 Canadian and I can finally get a proper replacement for the Thrilling 30 one. Bumblebee I'm hoping to see a discount and Chase I'll wait for the inevitable Prime Cliffjumper release. A Legacy Barricade would also be fun to see. Magneous is a cool idea but personally I'm not much in need of any Rock Lord homages right now.
Could see a really nice Nautica coming from that Windblade, hope so as the hard to find TR version doesn't really hit the spot
I've got my fingers crossed for an animated Shockwave.
We finally got a good Windblade (at least to me) also like the lack of g1, 20ish years ago transformers came back with the unicron trilogy in the US anyway and it created a great many transformers fans (me included) and for the 40th we get the awesome Tidal Wave as our titan
the clear plastic in Bee scares me. Hopefully it wont be as bad as 101 but hasbro needs to lighten up on the clear plastic
Anyone know when Legacy United will be in stock in stores? I need that Windblade and Chase figures
You could try and find some slight remixes of those songs so they don't get copywrited
Outside a soundwave, because lets face it, g1 soundwave is rare, it's perfect to not have any g1... Fuck Walmart, they scammed me out a preorder for a dudes Christmas present, the assholes. Never buy from them.
I'm all for non g1. I think the other generations beast wars, prime, animated, and so on need more representation. I really want more beast wars from fuzors to transmetal and transmetal 2. Also I really want prime characters, they did a great job with the twins skyquake and dreadwing, so I'd love to see starscream and maybe some predacons.
Magnius's transformation is just hound's transformation from war for cybertron?
I'm fine with G1 just being in the SS86 line for now.
I would like to see more of other series figures first.
Who’s gonna tell him he forgot to flip out the back wings on windblade?
I think why Chases legs look weird is because you have his buff cafes then his thin feet, also Windblade could make a nice Prime Starscream
defo gonna get Chase and Windblade at some stage, I hope they make more rescue bots. the Animated Optimus could be an easy retool for Rescuebot heatwave.
Is there some trick to the legs? I can't get the feet tabbed in or the car front halves together at all. Even after a bit of sanding, they don't go in all the way and don't click into place like the video showed.
I love all of these and I really want to find Magneous now, but I have issue with my own copy of Windblade. The nosecone section is a little fiddly and stiff, it keeps wanting to pop out of the back entirely instead of neatly unfold like yours did in the video. Idk what's up with that. Finally got her transformed tho, love me a chunky jet
Are those wings pinned in on Windblade? If there have to be waffled bits, I'd rather those be on the back, even if I have to remove & swap them myself.
I want the magneous mold, but as his normal truck.
I don’t think Chase will be Barricade for a number of reasons, most of all that one of his more prominent features is having the front bumper be his chest rather than his roof and windshield. Hasbro’s shown us that they can just pop a light bar on any mold and make it an emergency vehicle, so I don’t think it needs to be from Chase, who I don’t think really fits Barricade beyond the alt mode.
My one problem with the Bumblebee is. Why is the front of the car not the feet. It ends up on the heels instead! It's right there!
2:39 maleficent should not shit on the shelf, note taken
For magneous i fold in the legs first so folding in the arms is easier
Glad that other transformers series are getting the spotlight but there are still g1 characters , I would still like to see get an update or receive their first figures like Autobot X literally the one character that fits the whole parts forming gimmick of the weaponizers since he literally a Frankenstein of mixe Autobot parts .
HUGE yay! Because don't get me wrong, i love G1 but it was starting to get a lil boring and eh. But the totally new characters into the line that we haven't seen in awhile. Especially Animated Optimus and Cyberverse Windblade
