Well gents, a pretty big leak just happened. We now have our first taste of Legacy...

Not a good first showing, that logo is cringe and this is……. money saved. Watch the next series use this guy as a “new body” for G1 Metroplex to try and get the G1wunners onboard.

Hasbro reveal guy probably on suicide watch btw.

Not implementing a base mode is a huge turnoff btw, I like Titans that can also be a display piece for the smaller scale figures.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Personally I like it, obviously this wasn't meant to be shown publicly so it's not the best first look but it's a LOT more faithful than I was expecting.

 

[The Lawgiver]

Wouldn't cybertron metroplex be more of a commander class than a titan class? Unlike normal metroplex he wasn't a city and was just a fucking tall space miner robot.
Now, if they really wanted to be nuts they could do a modern titan scaled starscream.

I wonder, will they be bringing back the old cyber planet key gimmick? I still have a bunch of those things lying around the fucking place from ages ago, and I remember they used to have codes on the back that if you put them in on a special website it'd show you the concept art for the figure it came with. Kinda wonder if there's an archive of those all somewhere.

Man I just wanted a chonky Metroplex redo

That T30 one is so fucking bad.

Speaking of T30 I still need to put the fucking weird rhinox I got somewhere. Hoping the prices for the normal ones eventually drop down again because the kingdom one is absolute fucking dogsnit in comparison.

No Drill Bit accessory? Minicon fag like me, it's easy pass.

Jesus fuck how the hell did I miss they forgot his fucking minicon partner? Every titan class figure so far has come with a smaller robot so why skimp out on that now?

You know they’re gonna sell the minicon in the next accessory pack, you just know it.

Anyway I scored a Tokyo Toy Show Dreadwing and Smokescreen, a holy grail of mine that inexplicably was in-stock on BBTS. The day is saved.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Victory Saber hit the 17,000 mark, so the display stand is happening. Only one tier left and two days to get there.

Did I call it or did I call it? I knew the Japs would flock in droves to get “their guy”

 

[DDBCAE CBAADCBE]

Megatron was right.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Yeah, FOMO engines seem to have revved up today because it's over 18k now.

And I don't even know if all the international & retailer orders have been added yet.

Hidden Tier 4, what could it be? Jan, his mech suit, sword “swooshing” effects, die-cast blade, Saber scaled sword, Micromaster trailers, connectors for his base mode?

It’s gotta be something cool

 

[Bot Muncher]

I wonder if it's gonna reach tier 3 or not. I want Holi to be real, but I already have white stakeout and don't need big boys. If it reaches tier 3, I'll wait for somebody to sell micromasters on auction sites.

Hidden Tier 4, what could it be? Jan, his mech suit, sword “swooshing” effects, die-cast blade, Saber scaled sword, Micromaster trailers, connectors for his base mode?

It’s gotta be something cool

If it is rest of rescue patrol, or Clipper and Riker. Maybe I'll back this shit.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

If there's a secret 4th tier I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Holi minifig. I'd prefer Clipper though.

At 18.5k now, 1 day left, still dunno if intl/retail orders have been added yet.

 

[Kup]

19,171 backers at the 23 hour mark. Place your bets on Tier 4.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

If there's a tier 4 I'm gonna say Jan.

Seen some people saying it'll be a full Deathsaurus and/or Galaxy Shuttle fig. Yeah there's zero chance of that happening.

I do think Deathsaurus will probably happen down the line though since Saber was a success.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

20k hit, it's done

 

[The Lawgiver]

Seems I'm gonna missing out on even the fucking cheapest one of these "one time only runs" it seems. Predictable given how I always miss out on fucking anything time sensitive that requires money unless some miracle happens and I suddenly find myself in the posession of nearly 200 dollars. Granted I managed to splurge on that weird fucking figure for half the price of this thing but thats fucking nothing compared to the money people spend on these things on the regular. I have no clue how the fuck they do it.

One thing I've seen people doing is getting two, then saving the second to sell later for a higher price to cover the cost of both figures.

Costly up front but may be worth it for the future.

 

[Kup]

Lads, we did it.

Now get the chokebelt out and induce a roughly year-long coma.

I’m willing to guarantee that Siege Astrotrain is gonna get repainted with a new headsculpt into Galaxy Shuttle because of this.
