Legacy Evolution (2023)

[Benn]

So does Optimus.

[Nigel]

I just opened Beachcomber. It got me wondering, is Paradise Parakeet technically the smallest ever Transformers toy? (Even though not actually a Transformer.) Is it smaller than World's Smallest Ravage?

[Pinwig]

I just got out Legacy Armada Starscream to put him with Evolution Armada Megatron - they look great together, nicely scaled. But he'd look even better with Thundercracker/Skywarp repaints too.

So this year we've got Tidal Wave coming, A Galvatron repaint probably? anything else strictly Armada as opposed to Unicron Trilogy? Surely that SG Sideswipe has to get a Wheeljack repaint. This is where we need Selects to wake up again.

[Toph]

Selects really has left quite a lot on the table, going back to Siege and including SS86.
Not even talking about "Bulkhead into Heatwave" or "Beachcomber into Ruckus." Just the repaints that have a precedent in the past, like "Blaster into Twincast." Also keeping retools with the original release.

Adding Spoiler just to keep the post from being way too long.

All the SS86 Jazz action master redo's should use the BBOrigins mould, It's so much sleeker and better suited to AM porportions.

Medix BTS from Hasbro Designer Mark Maher: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2gbilKM7SF/

Autobot down! I repeat, Autobot down! I need Medix the Doc-Bot to the rescue,stat! Yes yes folks, another addition to the Rescue bot family is here!
.
As most of yall know, doing medics\scientists for Walgreens exclusives were really kicked off with the Titan Wars Brainstorm figure. I always loved having medics in my collection, the problem is, there really isnt many out there in Transformer land. So, when the opportunity arose where we needed an item quick, I dove into the molds that were available and put this unique build together to resemble the Playschool Heroes Medix toy. But as some of you can guess I had the Botcon version marinating on my brain module.
.
Once I put together the prototype build featured in the photos, the whole team fell in love with him. He gives such a gentle and caring vibe when used in certain poses, but don’t you even dare try crossing this bot, this bad larry is combat stacked, weapons out, battle mask ready!
.
There is a certain versatility to this guy that keeps me going back to him. He maintains the right amount of chonk that I enjoy on certain bots. I had other options I put together for this slot, and honestly, I really hope some of those come out.
.
Oh, wait a astrosecond, is that his boy Sawyer Storm!!!!

[The Doctor]

Who is Sawyer Storm?

DEAD MEDIX at the end there would be a must-buy.

It's the love-child of Tom Sawyer and Storm from X-Men.



Heh, imagine that party!

"Transformers Legacy Evolution Poster Early Design"

https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/06/06/transformers-legacy-evolution-poster-early-design-513012

I have some difficulty with this as the art work is mainly elements from the Legacy poster, which don't appear in Evolution, with added Straxus and Unicron and an Evolution logo slapped on it

It may just have been a mock-up as part of working out the packaging art.

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

The inconsistency has now been resolved: very early on Legacy WAS known as Legacy Evolution
