Images of Legacy Lockdown, Cannonball, Filch and Ferak

Unsurprisingly the Cannonball mold works better as Red Alert.

As I remember, the Red Alert mold worked for Cannonball, too back in ancient times....

Works better as Red Alert.

I want all of these new deluxes. Especially the Skids cousin and Lockdown for mold completition's sake.

Ferak and Filtch are pretty nice too.

Looks like Walmart is trying to repeat what they did with their for exclusive Legacy Beast Wars figures and just use the current line's boxes instead of something unique like they did with Toxitron and Velocitron.

Funny thing is we're getting a Voyager Armada Red Alert next year so unless they also do a Cybertron version we'll probably never see this particular retool again.

I like Ferak more and more, he looks really good holding the two wing guns instead of his main gun. Seems they did redo the nosecone after all. After going to the trouble of retooling the wings I wish they would have done something really different with them and sweep them back instead forward like Cyclonus. They even gave him new shoulders, it would have been very easy to change the wings further.

Shoot... I just realized Road Pig is a Decepticon . I like my combiners to be aligned if at all possible. Oh well. Hopefully hasbro makes another use out of the Crashbar mold as a heroic character. I guess now Ill have 2 legs and an Arm for a Decepticon Junkasaurus.

Understandable, that's how I felt with fossilizers when there was never a predacon version of wingfinger. And I never got a Maximal version of paleotrex either so I'm left with the original 3 and Masterdominus

I don't know any of these bots, but I do kind of like the Cyclonus repaint. Isn't it missing a Decepticon logo though?

I also kind of like Cannonball, and I do need more Decepticons for my shelf so I may get that one.
The other don't interest me, though Flitch is neat looking.

Yeah, Cyb Red Alert may never see the light of day from this mold. But who really knows. Hasbro may just decide to stick him in a multipack as an Amazon Exclusive or something in a few yeas.


As for Ferak, you can always just rotate them around yourself. At least on Cyclonus the swivel is tight enough to hold its position without being tabbed in anywhere. And it does give him a very different silhouette. Granted all the hinge kibble there is less that streamlined... but what you gonna do.

Yeah, I'm still hoping for a Predacon repaint of Wingfinger at some point. Transmutaute or Spindle both work for a heroic Theropod component to the Fossilizer combiner.

Filch is a Decepticon in RiD '15, but she has a Star Raiders/Seekers logo on her lower left leg. These figures are being marketed as being from neither Autobot or Decepticon factions.

Lockdown may need some careful consideration. Canonball was a waste of plastic that could have been used towards a different figure...'nuff said!!!

The OG captain of the pirates (and the only one of these characters who was actually a pirate from the very beginning) was a wasted pick for the pirate subline?

Liking lockdown but only as drones/troopers for any other lockdown figure to command. Filch is my main would like out of the set. Repainted cyclonus is okay but cannonball is as clunky as the original cannonball and not something I'd want again after having the baynus version of crankcase.

I would actually say it does not.

I am good with Cannonball as he is, but if we really were to get one of Cybertron's main characters, unlike the selects Hot Shot, I would like to see him get a new mold, or at least a more fitting one.

Cannonball works better simply because he is the TF equivalent of the Dread Pirate Roberts, and has already had 2 toys with different designs, so he can look different and we can pretend it is a new iteration of the character

I don't think ND likes that mold, not necessarily the character. I'm not particularly fond of it myself, but it was adequate for Skids. Now they are just beating it in to the ground on everything.

Sheesh, Skids has seen so little love that now he's the one leading the redeco/retool parade! Must be an honour heh.
These all look fantastic honestly, really eager to pick these up. Might even pose the Cannonball and Ferak figures alongside the old convention set ones!

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I just realized last night that United appears to be trying to hit every major TF milestone for the 40th anniversary:

G1 cartoon: Gears
G1 Marvel comic: Mayhem squad
G2: Laser Prime repack (Road Pig too once he's revealed in case of newer figure)
BW: Silverbolt
BWII: Tasmania Kid
BWN: Magmatron
BM: Cheetor
RiD2001: Omega Prime
Armada: Tidal Wave
Energon: Megatron
Cybertron: Starscream
Live Action Movie: Lockdown
Animated: Optimus
Prime: Thundertron
RiD2015: Filch
Cyberverse: Windblade
IDW2019 comic: Breakdown (he has that mayhem symbol, I'm going with it)
TFCC: Cannonball (kinda-sorta)

So I think all we are really missing so far is someone to represent in Legacy:
Japanese G1
Dreamwave
IDW2005
Earthspark
OTFCC

Again, these are just "major" stories/timelines/comic owners/etc., so I am not counting things like Last Bot Standing, individual live action movies, Beast Wars comic(s), etc.

I'm getting ALL of the Legacy Skids family.
Including the Masterpieces.

I really love these molds.

Heh, same honestly, it's a very nice mold! It's nice to finally have a good modern Skids heh.

More great-looking figures.

Who is the PR as the 4th deluxe?

I don't know what it is about that figure but I LOVE Shard. It's almost got an organic appearance to it despite the "Rock Lord" theme.

The original Rock Lords always did look, to me, like they could easily fit in with and pal around with the Beast Wars cast. Just imagine those original designs animated by Mainframe and interacting with the Maximals and Predacons on prehistoric Earth.

This is a thing I didn't know I needed until now.

I've said before, there are very few items other than what's on my very short wish list, that I want to obtain. But the "izers" have been fun additions since 2019. But as said, the newest ones look amazing. Cant wait to get Shard.

Then you might wanna check out this from eight years ago.

Shard does look great
I may just have Shard as a star raider since I'll likely have lockdown be his own bot

And if there are Shard repaints/retools down to line, I will most likely bite

Talking about wave 2 of United and I still haven't seen a single wave 1 figure in stores yet other than core class lol!

Starseeker wrote:Talking about wave 2 of United and I still haven't seen a single wave 1 figure in stores yet other than core class lol!

Ugh, yeah, same here. I don't think there's many collectors in my area it seems!

Gears, dogbot and T30 sansdstorm for me. Only thing I dont like about starscream is the peg/clip bitson top near the front of the alt mode, not a deal breaker but something i'm not keen on.

Sandstorm if his feet can be mistransformed to give him thicker feet rather than the abomination of just helping him to stand up. Must say though, Haslab omega prime needs to take his wheels, Sandstorms look to be two parts and not a thin mess with hardly no tires. I'd have to wait until it dropped to Deluxe price anyhoos so hence sticking to T30.

Totally. And the fossilizers! I've said this before and I'll say it again: Fossilizers and the new Rock guys should have been their own toyline, with a comic or a cartoon backing them up. They're so fun and new yet really in line with the transformers concept. I wish they had bios on the packaging, a website or something at least. Specially since the design team clearly thinks about this, in the last stream Maher gave a back story for the new little hammer guy...

That is an excellent idea. Ive been begging for ANYTHING new and not G1 based for several years and been disappointed every time. Transtech was my go to, but a Rock Lords or Fossilizers themed show would have....

....wait for it....









...totally rocked!








See what I did there?

Below you will find images of Legacy United leader Sandstorm and voyagers Cybertron Starscream and Silverbolt. Independent stores have already put them up for sale, like CMD store. We will let you know if US preorders open up.

Starscream is gorgeous. Bought on sight.. err… preordered on sight.

Chronia is o.k.

Was not planning on getting Shard, but it looks so good. And that large shield/pick axe mode so cool.

Sandstorm is also looking fine. So many things I want, wallet gonna scream.

Which Optimus is that with wheel jack?

I look forward to generation selects, Starscream and Wind Razor

If they do a 2 pack with a repaint of starscream as Dirge and a repaint of the future hot shot as roadbuster that'd be fun

Not very likely but I still have that old Dirge and an update would be nice

Man, that Chromia figure just looks...bland. No character to it at all. It's just kind of taking up space.

Sandstorm...I'm mixed on him. I actually enjoyed the Generations take on him. My wife says he just looks goofy. I'm not going to argue with her...not because I agree, but because I've been married almost 25 years and know better.

THat Starscream is damned near perfect. Now...just waiting for a third party to make a cannon that snaps over the sword.

Silverbolt...wow. Just amazing. Absolutely spot on. I think we can skip any BW Masterpiece for him. This is it.

Theoretically speaking, if I were able to get Legacy United Beast Wars Silverbolt and Cybertron Starscream, which ones would you like to see first?

Where?

TK415 wrote:Which Optimus is that with wheel jack?

Bumblebee Movie Studio Series 38 Voyager Optimus Prime.

Sandstorm looks good, not something I need though. It actually looks very bulky/top heavy in Bot form and the alt modes don't look as streamline as I would like, especially the dune buggy. These things are really starting to look like toys more and more.

I can clearly say without doubt that this Sandstorm is a total pass making my Takara TG-29 supreme in my Neo-G1 fold...'nuff said!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Theoretically speaking, if I were able to get Legacy United Beast Wars Silverbolt and Cybertron Starscream, which ones would you like to see first?

Being so familiar with the original, I'd want to get Cybertron Starscream first to see what improvements they did on the original concept.

BW Silverbolt is also a must-have to complete my BW cast.

Awesome thanks man!

Did they forget to paint Silverbolt? Is he really going to be that dull gray all over?

It's slightly silver plastic, but I don't know what you were expecting, he's actually a little more colorful than the original.

Looks like the Twitter user who made this collage used the wrong cartoon models for Sandstorm, the ones made by a Russian fan. They're all fuzzy in quality, and the blacks are so dark and washed out you can barely see the windows on the side of the helicopter or the details on the hood of the dune buggy.

Here's the correct models.

The differences in colors are pretty much irrelevant.
Especially when many pictures got their color changed, and toy pictures depends on the camera and general lighting.

What matters with these comparison shots are the overall shapes of the toy VS the toon. And for a Generations line, that's as close as we can get.
