COMBINING CONSTRUCTICONS.
I kid you not.
Legends-sized versions thereof, at least. All transforming AND combining. AND awesome, even at a smaller scale. Pictsies here:

Thanks to Allspark and TFW for alerting me. It's desk-scaled pint-sized Awesome.

Probably, but seven Legends does not fit well with Hasbro's current case ratios, so I expect giftset. And I expect it further down the line. If Takara's comes out first, I'll shell out extra. Especially if there's chases.

Well they totally put Hasbro to shame with this one. I will definitely be getting myself one. These look like they will be the best toys to have within reach for a long time to come.
And now that we know that it *totally can* be done (like we didn't already) more's the pity we're not getting a larger version...

In fairness, there are some things that are easier to pull off at the "Legends" scale, if only becase people are more forgiving with smaller toys. For example, I rather like "Legends" Soundwave, but would not be as forgiving of that same problems in a larger toy.
Still, I agree that the full-sized Constructicons will likely be...lacking.

Oh, man, oh man. These are great.
And I love the fact that they'll be Legends. I dunno if it's a case of being more forgiving of flaws from the smaller scale as much as just loving tiny TFs, but I'm kinda more excited about the idea of these than I would be about full-sized versions of the Constructicons.
And Bigass Wheel Guy still looks great as a baby Bigass Wheel Guy. Yes, I know he has a proper name. I'll use it eventually.

The only thing that would've been perfectly excusable at this scale is the Constructicons NOT combining. There is no excuse for that damned giftset. I hope it shelfwarms horribly.
