I know, right? And Slam or Slammer is such a better name for an ankylosaur.
I can only guess they intended that but copyrights.

I snagged him today, and he's quite an impressive legend.
I'm not sure about the battlechargers, cuz he's too tiny for them, and the club releases are perfect.
But he's got great repaint potential.
His transformation is very flipchangery, but he's not a flipchanger. It's really hard to describe.
He reminds me of a BW now that I have him in hand, but I genuinely can't put my finger on who.

A look at the forthcoming Legends makes interesting reading Wave 5 December 2015 ? Autobot Pipes (63050936835) Chop Shop (63050936836) Shockwave (63050936837) Buzzsaw (63050936838) Wave 6 Febuary 2016 ? Rewind-b5612 Wreckgar-b5611 Autobot Stripes- b5610 Wave 7 May 2016 ? Ravage (Batch Code B7022) Rumble (Batch Code B7023) Wheelie (Batch Code B7024) The sggestion there is that Stripes is a tiger Ravage and Rumble & Rewind are repaints |

Wait, what? Where did those rumoured legends come from? Don't make me scroll back! ;-)
But, Legends cassettes? Cool. Although they'll have to be something special to top the Masterpiece and FoC versions (the FoC discs are just a lot of fun).

Wave 5
Autobot Pipes - another Prime repaint?
Chop Shop ?
Shockwave - another Warpath repaint?
Buzzsaw ?
Wave 6
Rewind
Wreckgar - Groove repaint?
Autobot Stripes - tiger version of Ravage
Wave 7
Ravage
Rumble - Groove repaint?
Wheelie - Would lay money on this being a Legends BB retool with new head.

Ah, yes, February. I can't remember back that far, dammit! I can't even remember what I had for breakfast! (Actually I can. It was bran. I wish I couldn't remember. Damn this ageing business...)

Chopshop is almost certain to be Skrapnel.

Post by Toph on Jun 2, 2015 14:37:52 GMT
I have a couple guesses for this.
Here's what I'm certain of:
Pipes- Huffer repaint
Chop Shop- Skrapnel
Wheelie- Bee repaint or retool
Autobot Stripes- New Mold
Ravage- Stripes repaint
These gould go a couple ways.
One:
Buzzsaw- Cosmos repaint
Rewind- Groove repaint
Wreck-gar- New Mold
Rumble- Groove repaint
Shockwave- Warpath repaint
Two:
Buzzsaw- new mold
Rewind- new mold
Wreckgar- buzzsaw repaint
Rumble- rewind repaint
Shockwave- new mold

Interesting. How do you see Buzzsaw being a repaint of Cosmos, of all figures? Aside from the fact he's yet to have a repaint. Although he'd be better off repainted and slightly retooled as Scrounge, dammit!
And why don't you see Wreck-Gar as being another repaint/retool of Groove? I know that that has the potential to give us four, maybe five bikes - Groove, Rumble, Frenzy, Wreck-Gar and Rewind (assuming Rewind 'cos if tapes are bikes, then, well...) - but it's not like there haven't been four uses of the Legends Starscream mold or anything, either (Stascream, Acid Rain, Thundercracker, Skywarp).
Thinking about it, though, what if Rewind was in fact a Cosmos repaint? He's the right shape for a data disk. Or maybe a monitoring satellite. Or... I'm sure someone can think something up. :-)

Because that's a hell of a lot of uses of the bike mold back to back to back to back.
There is no precidence for that many different uses of one mold in a row. Two are even in the same wave.
Also, I'm not assuming Buzzsaw is the g1 condor. It's a pretty generic and widely used TF name, up there with Prowl and Inferno.
And it wouldn't be a terrible name to give to a circular shaped flying saucer.
As for the Buzzsaw/Wreckgar sharing a new mold, that's on the assumption it's a motorcycle.

Yes, when you mentioned "Buzzsaw" as a Cosmos repaint the idea of him being a circular saw was exactly what sprang to my mind, too. I was just interested to see what you were thinking. :-)

It's going to happen isn't it, but Shockwave out of that Megatron mould would make me very sad.

Post by Pinwig on Jun 2, 2015 20:46:58 GMT
Actually, now i think about it, Shockwave as a new mould that size would also make me very sad.
I can't win.
Just do him properly Hasbro!! AHHHGRRRRHH!!!

I'm with ya there, buddy. Shockwave demands a good 'Classics' outing.
And I don't want any repaints. I want to see Beachcomber, Seaspray and Kickback!!! Again, sets left incomplete, hanging...

Liking Rodimus less now I've seen him. I don't think I'll be bothering - Cloud Rodimus is enough Rodimus for me. But I'll have to get Skywarp to complete my Seekers trio. Especially since this is probably the first time they've bothered releasing all the Seekers at once in the same line since like G1 or something. (And I mean without the missing, final Seeker being a Japan/Con/etc. exclusive.)

Shame you need blu tak to attach the spoiler properly in robot mode

Post by Philip Ayres on Jun 7, 2015 11:49:38 GMT
I find myself divided over Legends Blackout as Rodimus.
The lack of a proper anchoring point for the spoiler in robot mode is a BIG minus point. The vehicle mode could use an Autobot symbol on the bonnet: Blackout has a Decepticon one. The chest is wrong, especially when put next to his card art like that but oddly that's not bothering me too much.
