Clearer Images of SDCC Transformers Legacy Reveals and First Look at Skullgrin's Alt Mode

-Kanrabat- wrote:33 steps for a dragon that barely looks any different from the bot?

HOW?

Check the orientation of the limbs and extremities. His tail is connected to his head which is at the opposite end from his legs in robot mode but close together in alt mode. All the while, the robot dragon head arm must realign with the wings and and pivot to the same vertical axis as the legs. Sure, we see the same parts in both modes (aside from the robot arm which has to end up stored in the chest) but they are all oriented in very different ways and getting them to the proper orientation takes lots of steps.

Anyways, I love how they kept the asymetry to the design where the knees and shoulders are organic on one side and robotic on the other.

I think I really like Alpha Trion. As many have said, he's the best Trion we've seen so far.

But it's the "so far" that is holding me back. How long before they make a new mold Alpha Trion that looks near-perfect? There've been lots of instances where I pick up a figure, only to have a better version come out a few years later...

For me, it's come down to "is this figure good enough that any new version won't be better enough to upset me?" And in this case, I don't care for Orion Pax...I prefer the Generations version with his own alt-mode, rather than the retool of Kup (though I understand the history...dare I say Legacy?...of retooling Kup for Pax)

Skullgrin will be a deluxe?
I don't really like his boxy design in bot mode. I would have been impressed if that Skullgrin would have managed to have the pure look of his OG pretender shell but with that boxy tank altmode. Oh well.


Having Orion Pax being a retool of Kup was expected, but they really nailed it.

How bad do aftermarket prices on these Pulse exclusives tend to be? Are they resold at online stores like BBTS and such? I already missed out on Beast Wars Ravage, a favourite character of mine whom I intend to look for eventually, and I'm also interested on the Orion Pax & Alpha Trion set, but Pulse doesn't ship to my country.

Aftermarket is pretty steep.

Ah, I missed that last part. Glad I could help irregardless!

Looks like Skullgrin is the most awesome of the lot this time out. He'll be a must-have, along with Dead End, simply because we all want to complete Menasor .

Everything can become ridiculously expensive once it is no longer available from primary retailers. No matter how deeply discounted it once may have been. And it's always worst with exclusives.

I'm not liking that alt mode for Skullgrin. It has too much of the robot-just-laying-down thing going on. I guess it resembles his old alt mode but Pretenders, in general, were usually criticized for having crappy alt modes. This could've been a good opportunity to really address that.
I might just still with the one from 2010.

Of course that brings up another complaint. Skullgrin has been revisited a few times already. I would've really liked to see some other Pretenders who haven't been touched yet get some kind of update like Carnivac or Stranglehold

If they keep along this "fusing shell with altmode" trend, the Pretender Beasts would probably just end up as retools of Beast Wars characters. Stranglehold would look freaky as hell, almost naked dude that turns into a scorpion... Proper body horror-former, I'd love it.

It's a shame that Alpha and Pax are exclusives.
We'll try to get them though.
The more I see the Kup mold, the more I'm convinved you could get a very nice and accurate Firestar out of it. Keep hoping some day it happens.

That's kinda tragic since they couldn't even sell out of them at 40% off. I hope Hasbro doesn't take anything negative away from that. Really the only bad thing about it was including the G1 Ravage, but that was a pretty interesting unique version of that figure, too.

That would be weird considering the original turned into a rhino. That could actually work in a theoretical figure's favor since the shell and rhino can share "skin" and we could almost get something that looks like a "What If..?" Transmetal II Rhinox (and work as a potential retool). Makes you wonder what the leaked Metalhawk will look like.

Actually I can see it too. Look closely at the sides of his face. TM2 Megatron usually has two orange squares on each side of his face, but instead has one on each, and above and below that are those claw like shapes that RID Megatron has above and below. It's a weird thing to add that makes me wonder if they're trying to get more than one use out of that head sculpt, perhaps with a different helmet and tail going around it. The claws going over his chest is also reminiscent of how the RID figure has a claw "belt". Then you've got the big orb in the middle of the chest like both characters had. I think there's something to this.

BTW, the jagged teeth look to be painted on that way, they don't look like they're sculpted like that so it might change.

I'm not completing Menasor in fact I'm not even bothering with him.

I confess he looks a lot better now than in the before images. The opposite of Inferno.

Tuned Agent wrote:Better pics of the accessory-less bot modes (from TFW):

Megs looks great. I think they want to retool him into R.I.D Megs at some point.

Starscream looks really good. Can't wait for Supermodel SS a.k.a Thundercracker.

Inferno is surpassingly growing on me.

Skullgrin's o.k.

Breakdown looks quite nice.

Dead End looks like he's on stilts.


And Pointblank.... sheesh. Is he just rocking a jockstrap and no pants?

So pre-ordering Megs, Breakdown and Dead End.

Maybe Starscream, and maaaaaaybe Inferno.

So Skullgrin will have two sword/gun weapons that'll hopefully be able to split into two parts. Noice.

Alt mode is okay. I also don't really like the laying down look but then seeing the pics from the comic, seems pretty accurate. So that's pretty cool. Mixed feelings

Oops, you're right, I got him mixed up with Pincher. A rhino would be slightly less disturbing for sure, specially if they're not fussy about his human mode skin color and just make his skin the color of a rhino's skin.

TMII Megs looks better there and I LOVE Skullgrin!

The resculpting on Kup and Scourge that's gone into Pax and Trion is wonderful!

If reverse convoy were ever to appear in legacy or evolution or something along those lines, what universe would he be from? Robotmasters?

Hasbro would file under "shattered glass collection"

It just occurred to me that that's a portal behind each of these characters. So I reckon what we REALLY need is Crankcase to be missing a bit of his head, his Dire Wraith friend and G.I. Joe member MP3 for a special boxset called "Brand Recognition".

I didn't think it would turn out that well, but the pictures prove me wrong. I hope they fix the limbs on Pax but he kind of had his own fix me scene. comes with vector sigma too! But they could have done more with this. Why does pax have a energon goodie? He should NOT have a gun he is a mere doc worker. Why does Alpha trion come with a lame purple gun instead of a cool sword? Other than that, great set!

LOL. In all seriousness, the portal designs are part of Legacy's whole "multiversal crossover" backstory, with characters from other universes dimension-hopping through portals over into the series's native G1 universe.

You are indeed correct. My mistake. so Crankcase. Looks pretty good. Can't see his shoulder cannons though.

I understand the schism over Skullgrin. On the one hand, the robot mode doesn't look like the original Pretender shell, except in passing. And the alt mode has some differences. Having had the original G1 figure, I can see the differences.

On the other hand, the robot mode tried to bring in a lot of those features. The skull of course. Also the shoulders have the rounded look of the original shell, and the pelvis/hip area imitates the 'belt' that the G1 shell used to have with the buckle on front, and the spiked side panels.

And the alt mode at least mimics the original alt tank decently. Everything in between was a compromise. But they did the same thing with Core Iguanus, and everyone was over the moon about him. The G1 alt mode was lacking in many ways, you basically folded the robot in half and that was it. There were LOTS of gaps and it didn't hold together very well. I look at the alt mode for the Legacy version, and it seems a lot more solid, while still keeping the basic appearance. Though truth be told, from the front, it kind of looks like Siege Soundwave's 'spaceship' alt mode.

The Legacy Skullgrin robot mode has a blocky appearance to it compared to the original shell, yes. But didn't we say the same thing about Legacy Bulkhead? The original Bulkhead was rounded and smoother in appearance, but in Legacy they made him tall and boxy as well. And almost everyone was told, 'It's Legacy - deal with it.'

The Universe Deluxe Skullgrin was a compromise too. But I didn't have a problem with the changes they made to the robot and tank modes. In the end, I wound up not liking it for the same reasons that I didn't like MOST of the Universe-era Deluxes - they were just too complicated for the size. I dreaded transforming many of them just because each one of them had at least one phase of the transformation that was so fiddly and difficult, I didn't WANT to endure the hassle. For Universe Skullgrin, it was the tank turret area. You had to do some really intense jiggering to get the tank barrel/weapon inside the turret, and still get the turret sections in place. Here's hoping Legacy Skullgrin doesn't do likewise...

Overcracker wrote: so Crankcase. Looks pretty good. Can't see his shoulder cannons though.

Well, if it's faithful to the G1 figure, they're spring-loaded on his back. (Which I doubt.)

As for the others, I'm sold on Inferno, probably going to get Stascream, and most likely pass on the others, even though they do look good. They just have no place in my evolving collection. I was gonna get Skullgrin, but the figure can't decide if it's a pretender or just the inner bot. He has the inner bot body and the pretender head. The skull face should have been included as a helmet piece over the actual bot head. Unless it is and I'm just missing it.

DeathReviews wrote:stuff about Skullgrin

I wish we had the complications of the Universe figures. It would be more worth the money. These new deluxes look good but they're simpler to transform and thus not as fun.

As for Skullgrin's look, as I said in the other post, I wish they had gone with the inner bot all the way, since they cant do the transforming shell, and only give him the skull face as an accessory to put on his bot head. I have no real problem with his alt mode, I'm just put off by the aesthetic.

Also, count me in with those not caring about completing Menasor. Even though I think the individual Stunticons look pretty good. But the whole set is like a $180 commitment. Maybe when gas and food prices come down in a couple of years after we get competent conservative leadership that knows what to do with the economy.

The best WFC figure with the best Legacy figure. any RG1 fans in here?

You mean the best Legacy figure so far? (Metroplex, yo!)

As for WFC Rodimus, I don't own him. I want to, but I don't want to pay for a trailer I'll never use. It would be great if Hasbro rerelease just the Hot Rod part in Legacy without the trailer. And I also prefer G2 Jhiaxus to RG1. He seemed to be a cheap imitation by Furman. G2 was a straight off-the-hook psycho. So my Jhiaxus is on my G2 shelf. I do like RG1 story-wise. Just not that version of Jhiaxus.

I am going out on a limb and say Jhiaxus will be the best Legacy figure. At least to me, he is going to be very hard to top and is easily the best voyager generations figure I have handled T30 Springer (I was mostly let down by WFC voyagers, honestly).

Oh I absolutely agree comic wise too, I love that G2 comic and Jhiaxus is easily one of the best parts of it. RG1 Jhiaxus is inferior, but I had Rodimus, and Prime is still packed up, so they went together!

Exactly, G1 toys ain't got crap on Kingdom Roddy and Legacy Jhiaxus.

RG1 was a really fun comic and one I still greatly enjoy.

RG1 is one of the comics that have cemented Rodimus as one of my absolute favorite "G1" characters, probably 2nd only to Trailbreaker. RG1, MTMTE/LL, and Last Bot Standing have all contributed greatly to that feeling.

And I would love to see Kingdom Roddy get rereleased in Legacy, but just the Hot Rod component. It would make some folks mad, but I really don't care for the trailer.

They aren't spring loaded, but you can attach them there. All accessories will be revealed in a month from now along with akt modes

Dragon Megatron, Skullgrin and Dead End look great. The others are pretty decent, too.

I feel like Shattered Glass is our best chance to see that mold without a trailer. I doubt Rodimus shares any molds with his trailer since he has a standalone alt mode. Plus as a Leader I think he'd still include all of the accessories.

I think that is very much wishful thinking. WFC showed pretty well you need at least a leader budget to do a Prime justice in the current lines, and they said they are getting away from re-doing all the G1 characters they did in WFC and are going to try to fill in the gaps while actually expanding to be GenerationS

Makes sense. He has a large head.

Skullgrin's gunblades are cool, and the tank mode is...fine? Curious to get a look at it with a real sample/figure, rather than the classic box-render-showing-inaccurate colors (his lower legs are a solid color on the box, which we know is wrong based off the presentation image).

I'm also wondering if Pointblank/Blanker's photo is edited in any way? I just noticed that Crankcase's left shoulder seems to be dislocated in a way that suggests photo editing, so I wonder if that may also be the case for why Pointblank/Blanker looks so...off.

Dragon Megatron's toy/show mashup face design doesn't particularly bother me, but then again I was never big on the original version and I'm intending to wait for a Cryotek repaint anyway.
