Other than the visible knee joins, the back of the arms having some small holes and the ass having some slits in it. Smaller holes are fine, I can fill those in with modeling clay and not have to do any detail work, the visible knee joints is weird. There's no real way to fill in those holes.

Also, Skids weapons are accurate. The only issue with them is that the barrels are too wide and the blaster needs to be slopped at the back. Dragstrips weapons aren't the right colours. They used to be though. Earlier shots of him had all purple guns, though two tone.

Newage Scott is looking decent with the changes. I hope we get that soft top for him.

Mastermind Creations also released some colour images of their Deathsaurus.

They actually released colour pics?! Amazing, I had written the project off after the first year.

They missed their mark though, we know that Hasbro has got their sights on Deathsaurus now, IDWfags are greatly diminished and people will want a Deathsaurus that stylistically fits with their Star Saber.

Pour one out

I don't know what's going on with them They prefer to work on their Occulas Max line and tease some MC stuff. Like I didn't know about their Optimus until it was released and whats his name from the comics. I'm waiting for the Planet X version to come in.

I’m waiting on Hasbro, they’ve shown that they’re still capable of doing fuk-huge leaders and he’ll fit with my Star Saber.

If the 3Ps want my money they gotta do something really insane, like remold Deathsaurus into his tradwife Esmeral

I would buy this, just to reward the lunacy.

Ocular Max did a female Tarn so I don't see why they wouldn't do this. Torso and head would work. They just need new arms, backpack, and legs.

Pretty sure you can turn this

I’d buy it, really surprised she hasn’t had a modern resurgence in comics. I really thought she was gonna show up in IDW1 when they made a point of painting Deathsaurus as a sympathetic character.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Maybe who ever Hasbro get's to do the comics will do that. Personally I think Dark Horse should take a stab at it.

Dark Horse would be my choice, they’ve proven resilient against the cultural rot. I’m sure it’s there but in nowhere near the amount present in IDW, Marvel and DC.

I just hope they skip this gay politics shit and skip to heavy metal robot war. Autobots vs Decepticons, clearly defined heroes vs bombastic hammy villains that you can have fun with.

They have LGB characters and shit but they at least make the characters enjoyable. They have a proven track record on IP's like Star Wars and Aliens/ Predator which were canon for decades.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Probably my favorite of the wave. Also he's bigger than I was expecting.

He’s quite bigger than I expected, it’s a welcome change, he’ll look good alongside Super7 Bombshell.

I don't think I've ever seen him with a tarp but it really suits him.

So what minibots are we supposed to get in Legacy? Is Gears/Swerve going to show up?

I mean I'd really hate for them to stretch it out like they did the previous size class where we just were able to finish the set in the final wave which was the last of the legends class. Outback took forever to get a new figures and his last one was some RTS deluxe.

The release of Skids finishes up the 84/85 Deluxe Autobot cars(again). So unless they're going to do an Earthmode Hound we have most of the same guys already covered.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Looks maybe slightly better to me. I think one of the main things holding it back are the totally laughable accessories.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

I like everything I see but the head. I'll probably just paint it like Armada Arcee. You can tell this was meant to be someone else.

Gears was on the promotional art for Kingdom before the final artwork was made for it so Probably him and Swerve will get figures.

Takara's Getsuei looks terrible. Clearly they're compromising everything for train lovers.

Moon Studio (Zeta Toys)

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Junkyard leaked. Has more retooling than I expected.

 

[Kup]

Nu-Wreckers has a member roster, most of the leaked Amazon releases are included, Springer is depicted in the Siege toy.
