Decepticon Deathsaurus with Tigerchest, Eaglechest, Boater, and Pīpō (HasLab crowdfunded release, originally intended to be a regular Leader class release in Legacy) Next came the Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection, which focused on characters on the namesake planet participating in the namesake race. The first assortment was revealed on the June 23 2022 Fanstream. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement. [5] Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it varied. These toys were Kmart exclusives in New Zealand.

Also, unless it's inaccurate (which it isn't in Armada Prime's case) or so huge it's in the way of posing (also not true on the original, unmodified figure) I really never understood the hatred for that element of a design over any other piece of kibble. A collection of Walmart exclusive figures with the story being that the characters from the Transformers Multiverse had gathered on Velictron to race in the Speedia 500. The winner would become the planet’s new leader.

After all, the fact that the two are longtime rivals has a lot to do with the story, so it is very important that they be perfectly balanced when they are toy together. Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as Target. With the better look I see that they could've given the super mode some nice forward butterfly joints had they done something with the translucent side windows of the cab on the chest. There's more than enough room between the red roof/chest and the gray parts of the shoulder assembly that should allow those to swing forward quite a bit instead of stopping where they are for the standard shoulder position. It's just that the windows are the only things in the way and since they're pretty small, it's not like there's much to move out of the way. Being translucent plastic though, I doubt they would've put hinges on them to get them out of the way. But since it's not like there's anything to even see inside the cab, the windows never needed to be made of translucent plastic to begin with. It just kind of bothers me that it's such a small piece that's preventing a major boost in articulation. But even getting rid of the windows wouldn't allow for the forward movement as there's other things preventing it too since it was never conceptualized to move that way to begin with. Once I get it in hand I'll see if it's actually possible by shaving down a few other pieces.

Transformers Legacy Toys List Transformers Legacy Core Class Toys Transformers Legacy: Evolution continued the Legacy line into 2023, introducing the combining Core Class Dinobots and modular Junkions. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Transformers: Armada, there were a number of updated characters from that line along with introductions from the Transformers Animated series. Transformers Legacy Evolution Core Class Toys Buttflaps" are a common design element on robots, even ones that don't transform. Armada Prime is meant to have one, it's present in the animation, and it in no way hinders the toy and IMO would look incomplete without it. And even still, DNA's kit still leaves the figure with a buttflap, only now there's a buttflap and far more intrusive kibble on the rear of the knees that actually looks terrible and gets in the way of posing. They straight up made the issue worse to no betterment anywhere else. Combine the ion cannon and both blaster accessories to create a larger weapon accessory.

Transformers: Legacy (aka Transformers Generations: Legacy) [1] is a subline imprint of the Generations toyline, and the successor to the War for Cybertron Trilogy.That may be a bit too much for the current Hasbro team as they've mellowed out so to speak when it comes to easy redecos/retools.

I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. - Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21

And now that I see some size comparisons I think the super mode is perhaps a little too tall. It's taller than Star Saber, Super Ginrai, Star Convoy, Dai Atlas, Optimal Optimus, PotP Rodimus, PotP Optimus, TR PMOP and CW Ultra Magnus but not as tall as Victory Saber and God Ginrai. I'd want it to have been slightly smaller to match those other Autobot leaders. Or just be as tall as God Ginrai and Victory Saber. Just not in between. I even have enough kits on my Siege GUOP to make him as tall as the rest as well. So that makes it worse when Armada Optimus being taller than Cybertron Optimus.
