While the Legacy wave 2 voyagers have been available on Amazon for a month now, we now have a sighting of them at brick and mortar retail in the US. Both Legacy Jhiaxus and Soundwave were found at a Walmart in New Castle, Delaware. There are images below provided by Mondochuk who posted them on the TFW2005 boards. If you found them as well, make sure to report your sightings to the Seibertron community here.

New trailer, but keep the base engineering of the cab.
I'm hoping the rumors of Thunderclash from Motormaster will happen, that one seems the better option
I don't think it will. Those rumours were very muddy and not concrete like anything we'd news. So far, all commanders at retail have been unique with the only one reused was Jetfire as a straight redeco exclusive. I forget what the latest rumour on next year's commander is but I don't think it was thunderclash.
Leakers have stated that on the Motormaster tooling there is a Thunderclash head, but that's it. I'd imagine that it'll go the same way as the CW Landfill repaints/remolds and just not be released in any capacity, but as far as we know, the tooling exists for a Thunderclash head

Kinda half and half. It was reported that the designers said Tidal Wave will be happening, but gave no specifics. Fans took it from there.ZeroWolf wrote:Wasn't the rumours for next year's commander class Armada related? Or was that wishful thinking again?
Something about finally seeing G1 Soundwave and Blaster at the same size next to each other in stores...

I'd love him to be the next Haslab figure. My hope would be they do the 6 inner bots and just forget about shells. Having 6 larger voyagers with high levels of engineering would be great, which I don't think a Titan class can give us that.

NGL, I would be immensely interested in a thunderclash retool. Wonder if the combined mode would stay, or if they would go all in on a battle station?

Well, retooled Stunticons might be the only way we ever get official updates for all 4 Turbomaster cars, so I'd be all for Legacy Turbostator!
Or should their gestalt be called Hyperdrive?

I'd like to think they'd go with a combiner and replace the rest of the Stunticons with whatever Turbomaster is the closest match. We already have Rotorstorm, time to give him some friends. I'd like to see this as Hasbro's follow up to SG if that line ends after this year (as a full line).

Down with SG! All hail G1.5!
But seriously, there's some bloody amazing Predator and Turbomaster customs out there based on CW onwards figures. Hasbro could take cues from them and make some bloody impressive figures.
And while I'm not a fan of existing non-combining characters/teams becoming combiners, I'd love to see a Turbomaster combiner based on the Stunticons.

I wonder why / chose not to give Blaster a far more different alt-mode like Soundwave? We did get a decent looking alt-mode for the TR line IMO. I guess it was to give fans the closest modern G1 Blaster.

It's not just Walmart. It's Amazon, GameStop, Toys R Us,
The most shocking is Amazon.
The most recent TF are out at Amazon.com and .jp, but .ca can shove it it seems.

If Blaster was in Siege he would have had a "Cybertronian mode" too. Earthrise, Kingdom, Legacy were more about the "mini-Masterpiece" and "G1 with knees" type figures.

I want the opposite. A redeco of Kingdom Blaster into an earthmode Soundwave. Since Legacy dropped the ball, it would have to be Selects.

No, you're not the only one. I would love to have a Blaster with some sort of vehicle mode. It would be great even if Blaster and Soundwave had something along the lines of Perceptor's "tank" mode build into their designs from now on. Just a little something for them to be more useful or not look so weird if you displayed them in alt mode. Add a little playability to the toy. Everyone else can turn into alt mode and be useful in some way during a battle but Blaster and Soundwave can't. As it is, they're just glorified Action Masters.
Which is why I like Megatron not being a gun anymore. Sure it's a fun little novelty but that wears off rather quickly. I had my fun with G1 Megatron back in the 80's like most of us did but that was decades ago. I loved it when I got Classics Megatron and he turned into a Nerf gun as it was nostalgic. Then I realized how sucky it was. It turned into a role play item for me. Yay! Back to robot mode for you.
Transformers like that don't "woosh" around in the air. They don't "do do do" along the ground. They don't do anything really. They're worse than a Magikarp's Spash.

For once that he got some new mainline toys! He's been ignored by Hasbro for months.

I think the legs are too thick, resulting in the speakers also being really thick.

I thought of that. The kingdom Blaster is incapable of replicating Seige Soundwave's space barrage alternate form, but who asked him to? Maybe a customizer has done it by now.

Pointblank: Cool that they actually got the proper western name, though unimportant, and I'm still disappointed they're using the Rebirth/Marvel head instead of the one he usually has, and I'm still worried about the seeming lack of a bicep swivel. I really hope this upcoming stream will clear that up.
Skullgrin: He looks good for the most part, I just hope that there are tracks somewhere underneath that front part of the alt-mode and that either there's a regular head underneath the skull or someone makes one for him. Hell, maybe even give him a head based on TLK Megatron? I hated that design but I think the head could work for Skullgrin with it's big mandible/mask pieces.
Crankcase: I was hoping the hood of the alt-mode would have made his big shoulder cannons and the reason we didn't see it in that earlier photo of him was just that it was a detachable accesory, like the designers or executives were worried that non-fans would find it ugly, so they designed it so it could be detached and become a pair of giant hand held guns instead. Idk, sounds like something Hasbro would do, but apparantly they just completely ditched it unfortunately. Hopefully a third party company will fix that.
Deadend: Feet are ugly but they're not that big of a deal in my opinion, though it's unfortunate that the leg wheels end up on the outside of the shins instead of the inside. Makes me hope that maybe I can just swap the legs at the mushroom peg for the thigh swivel and I'll still be able to get the transformation to work, even if that does mean I'll lose the ankle tilt.
Inferno: Honestly looks to be a pretty disappointing release given that he lacks the fourth flap on his jetpack assembly thing. Doesn't matter too much to me though cause again I don't really care about Beast Wars.

Megatrons dragon mode looks like he went on a diet. Think I'd stick to original toy for him.
Posted by Rodimus Prime on August 16th, 2022 @ 12:58am CDT
Megatron looks alright, though the wings look flimsy. I'll pass on this, the character doesn't have a strong enough connection for me to be repped in my collection. I wish we got Transmetal T-Rex Megatron instead. But I guess this figure can go with the PoTP Optimal Optimus.
Pointblank is a maybe, I don't care for the vehicle mode or the inferior targetmaster. But I do have Crosshairs and I'm trying to complete Fort Max's crew from the Steelhaven.
Crankcase, Skullgrin and Dead End are all a pass, though not because they're bad. I already have Generations Skullgrin, and though this is an improvement for the most part, he's not important enough for me to drop another $25 on the character. If I can score him for cheap, I will get him. Maybe I can swap the 2 heads. I already decided to pass on the Stunticons, and Crankcase is also just a background character to me.

Looks to me from these pics that he does have shoulder cannons, you can see them behind the windshield in the alt mode pic and in both of the back of the box renders, they just aren't deployed in the robot mode pic (where the back kibble seems to be oriented differently) and they're not necessarily big like, say, Skullgrin's back cannons.Tracytron54321 wrote:Crankcase: I was hoping the hood of the alt-mode would have made his big shoulder cannons and the reason we didn't see it in that earlier photo of him was just that it was a detachable accesory, like the designers or executives were worried that non-fans would find it ugly, so they designed it so it could be detached and become a pair of giant hand held guns instead.

Honestly? The only alt mode parts that end up in the "wrong" place on Legacy Knock Out's bot mode are the front tires and the doors, everything else is a match that just happens to be stylistically different. The only things that TM2 Megs and Prime Predaking share, meanwhile, are "is a dragon" and "has wings in both modes" (and even then, Predaking's wings compress down a good bit).o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Especially since Prime Predaking's transformation is nothing like TM2 Megatron's.o.supreme wrote:As stylized as they are making Prime characters...it would be kind of crazy of we got a Prime Predaking heavy retool from TM2 Megatron in addition to the obvious/ easy Cryotek repaint.
