Upcoming Classics figures

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

I actually never looked at it like that Dom. I was just never interested in them, and if I do get some, I'll only get the G1 characters.

Razorclaw comes in a set with homages to Scattershot, Silverbolt, Hotspot, and Hun-Gurr, if memory serves. Special team leaders five pack. I'd bite if I wasn't really sick of all of those moulds.
Legends toys also make good Autobots to pair off against the out of scale Decepticon jets and such.
Heh, actually be pretty decent scale against Masterscream, who's 1/55.

I'd bite if they were proper new moulds for all of them.

Would they? I mean, they'd only be marginally taller than Archeville, wouldn't they?

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Yeah...I kinda recall that now. Legends Scourge is the Hun-Grr, yeah?

Between that and Razorclaw, I'm sold. I don't have most of those molds, and I love me some LoC's.

..Bwuh? I make no sense from this. You 'own' Masterscream, you know Archeville is a puny single piece of plastic. Legends are larger than Mini-Cons, and about scaled to Archeville. And thus Masterscream.

Oh, good lord, it's awesome! :lol:

A Prowl RH I was in for already, but the Laserbeak makes it a must-buy, easy.

Hmm, echoing the earlier sentiment, there's way too much rehash of late. Considering the Universe Autobot figures we're getting are primarily ones who've already had Alternators, it sucks so very much of the "Oh hey, that character!" feeling out of it. We're getting a new toy, but the character doesn't buzz us like it would've were we playing "Guess the Homage" with Energon several years ago. There's no "Wow, it's an homage to that guy!", it's all to be expected as they're actually the same characters.

Of late, I'm excited about getting Hot Shot, Cyclonus, Cosmos, Wheelie, Predacon Bruticus, and the RID Robot Heroes. Cheetor and Dinobot would be exciting if they weren't Cheetor and Dinobot. How many toys has Cheetor had, again?

Of course, I shouldn't complain ever again. They gave me Classics Onslaught. Classics 'Onslaught'. With light-up eyes and Master Chief optic panel. It's so mindblowingly awesome that I still haven't comprehended it.
