The underside of the tail is sagging below the crotch space. In these two pics:

On the original toy, that would only happen if the tail wasn't turned upside-down and plugged in properly. When done so, that made sagging impossible and kept the tail's connection to the body above the crotch behind the waist. Here, it looks as though they were working off the original toy with the tail not fully transformed correctly.

Ah, you mean that the tail is not in its proper position.

I call a mistransformation even if it's the designer himself who posted the pictures. It may not have been him who made the poses nor took the pictures. And even if he did, sometimes we all forget some transformation steps. Especially if these steps are just for esthetics purposes.

Magmatron looks fantastic!

Part of me thinks distribution of Legacy United should be frozen in favor of rereleasing Legacy Evolution. Or at least, Legacy Evolution minus the Putzwing reissue that literally nobody asked for.

Time to share some more United images.

First up, the Animated crew is making me so happy. Prime really is the standout star, god I love this toy. Also, they did nail Bee's head, that is Animated Bee, personality and all.

Next up, Core Energon Megatron with Legends of Cybertron Megatron. Now, we need a core Armada Prime.

Legacy has given us 2 of the main 5 BWII cast! and since I had Bighorn, I could unite 3 of the 5! Now we need a core Diver, deluxe Scuba, and probably deluxe Bighorn update too.

Can y'all see the family resemblence?

Windblade and Bee united at last. They look great together, well done. 1/2 in Cyberverse so far, we'll see how Chromia retooled from Prowl works out.

The aligned shelves with the newest bots. It looks great.

Finally, I got Tigerhawk in today, and I am in love. He isn't perfect, the lack of wrists and the large joint differential in the wings and A-stance are a bit of a bother, but he is still very good. I love him! He is one of my favorite characters, and I am so happy he has a new toy.

I'm getting serious Terrorsaur vibes from the pterodactyl.

This is just a magnificent figure. Well done on all fronts.

I also saw the tail positioning, but wonder if it was intended as a balancing device to help with posing in these pics.

It's not impossible though I don't think any photos have shown it positioned that way, personal or official.

What there seems to be no consensus on is what to do with the shield flippers.

Fully extended and folded back.

Fully extended and folded forward laying flat.

Partially extended folded forward parallel.

Mark seems to be going with forward and flat like the back of the box. Same with the box for the vintage figure and the anime so I guess flat is the way to go.

Now just waiting for a picture of the sword with the blast effect attached like on the box art. I don't think there's a way to form the included parts into a sort of crystal around the hilt, makes me think they were hoping to make a few part.

Origins Wheeljack instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1_DSeoMllg/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Whats that you say ,”You hope theres enough energy in these conductors to last a quartex” well well well, lemme tell you something Jacky, you have officially energized my bionic soul for an entire astrocycle! Finally, our 40 year wait is over folks, Origins Wheeljack is ready to hover into your collection!!!
.
Huge shout out to my bot brother Yuya san, he has turned my concepts and dreams into an engineering masterpiece. He has been just raising the bar on every character we work on, its insane, legendary designer!
.
I’m jumping right in because there is literally so much to tell yall about! Blurr style: hover vans vehicle blastshield can be a used as an air glider in robot mode but also partsforms into the cybertronian racetrack featured in the first g1 episode, the transformation sequence resembles the exact transformation in the cartoon, the bottom of the vehicle mode sits on tabs to give it that sweet cybertronian hover look, origins bee can not only fit into the back of the van but his golden rods can plug in on the sides for a cool thruster look, he scales correctly in robot mode with Jazz and BB, articulation and deco are on point, the buzzsaws on the front bumper have been designed to also be used as dominator discs
.
Wheeljack, yesssss, his OG look, no pablo’s or que’s here bruh, just good ol genius Jacky looking like he has been doing metric ton squats with Bulkhead. After all, its one thing to have the gift of gadgets but its another to be able to back up Optimus in the war.
.
Legacy United hittin hard in the 40th anniversary celebration of this brand that keeps me smiling all the way to Iacon!

Additionally, Mark made an Instragram story that expounds upon his post:

News Credits: 96 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sun Jan 14, 2024 8:04 am

I just played with A. Bee and lemme tell you, this is the toy of the year so far.

Granted, the year is still young, but this Animated Bee is the BEST Bee I got since a very, very long time.

He's very close to his Animated original appearance. Yeah, cry me a river over his lack of clown feet. When everything else is perfect, that can be easily overlooked.
Sure, he's tiny for a deluxe, but he's fairly complex and there's NO hollow bits. The transformation is fun and clever, plus the vehicle mode is PERFECT. The only mismatch of yellow is a tiny rectangle where his

is printed. That's quite the achievement!

I seriously recommend that Bee. The upcoming Optimus look pretty rad too, appart maybe the rectangle bits that serves as his trailer hitch in truck mode. Plus the A, Prowl was excellent.

I'm looking forward what they will do with the other Animated characters if they ever do them. I'm looking forward a redo of Bulkhead, and especially what they will do with Starscream.

A Core Sari Sumdac would be awesome too. Make her a "pretender" with her human child form serving as the "inner bot" of her armored "adult" form.

I'm guessing you'll be getting the ToyHax Animated sticker pack? I'm tempted, but I really wish they weren't combined like that, I don't need most of the Prime stickers.

There's high chances I'll be getting the set. The unpainted molded details on A. Prime bother me a lot.

And if you love customising toys or create customs from parts, having spare stickers is never an issue.

He's actually not bad. I'll be picking him up. Would this be his first new figure since the original?

Now all we need are Windcharger, Powerglide and Seaspray

If I had to guess, we'll see Windcharger next year and probably get a multipack of Tailgate, Outback, Swerve.

Thanks to Sowndwave76 and jtprime17, we have our first look at the upcoming Deluxe Class Gears. This highly anticipated rendition of the resident Autobot pessimist is looking every inch to be cartoon faithful, while still adhering to the Deluxe class size of most recent minibots. For his first mainline figure since 2014, and only third in the last forty years, Gears looks to be a great addition to the line. Check out the pictures below, and let us know if you'll be adding him to your collection when he's officially released.
