I'm looking at those legends and guessing minor remoulds packaged with existing Cyberverse Prime weapons?
I like the sound of Tomahawk Springer. I might buy that, depending on if it has the original c-clip launchers or mechtech weapons.

Never a Good Spot. The lack of artwork for Hot Spot shows how little used he's been in recent years. The only memorable role he's played since the late 80s was in DW's TWW2 story arc. |

Wasn't there going to be a Botcon Hotspot/Defensor from RID Prime? And there's a LoC Hotspot that's a Prime repaint.

The Botcon RID Prime repaint would have been perhaps the greatest exclusive repaint done by anyone anywhere. With the new Defensor head you got the gestault as well.
The titanium effort was a poor alternative.

I'm rather liking a few of them. Hotspot is a must. Megatron would look great alongside Overlord Bludgeon and Banzaitron. brawns a bit weird. Swerve and definitely Wheelie I like too. CJ and Springer look good too but I already have good versions of both.

Hotspot does indeed look good. Megatron is also pretty sweet.

I wonder if there's a 2nd Ultimate Giftset out there with the other 2 Asia exclusive Legions in? (Hoist and Bluestreak?) If they've produced something in the colours of the cancelled CH Prime I wonder if we might get Combat Hero Megatron too? Please lord, not the Classics Vs pack mold though! I'd settle for a Legend/Legion |

Must own that Combat Hero Prime giftset.
Most of those PCC releases look to be only marginal improvements - I don't like the red Doubleclutch, Mudslinger looks okay. I quite like the look of Sledge, and Skyhammer recast as an Autobot, but maybe not enough to import. Some of these are still Hasbro stock photography aren't they? I'd be surprised if Steamhammer doesn't get a unified colour scheme. Hope they get some chroming on the Dinobots.

Nice giftset featuring two Deluxe Autobots with two smaller Decepticons for them to bully  Would like to get that. Certainly need the Thundercracker. |

A lot of thought has gone into those hand weapons. Well done Legends guys.

Hasbro Asia reveal wave of repaintsI can see myself buying the Deluxe toys, but I'm not sure about the Voyager selection yet. There's nothing wrong with the choices that were made. It's just that the moulds are obviously designed for different characters and (with the exception of Hot Spot) don't suit the G1 characters they're intended to recreate. Edit: Bother!

We saw the toys back when they were first announced months ago. ( March) 1 Wheelie per case? Come on..... Still at least it isn't Springer. |

I do rather like the idea of that Springer - if you are going to do a Springer then a small combat helicopter I feel is more suitable than the Search-and-rescue bird that that they used before.
Not sure about the Megatron though - they seem to be aiming for a G2 Megatron homage, but somehow the sculpted armour seems somewhat unsuited to Megs. The Hot Spot is cracking though - a nice recolour of a great mold.

 As close as I can find to making a Double Targetmaster so far... There are probably Arms Microns who do it better. |
