Look closer, there’s clearly a hand holding the dish.

But is it a full hand, or more of a claw like Energon Shockblast had? If so, they covered that homage twice, since the satellite dish could be seen as an homage to UT character's alt being a satellite. Or is the dish supposed to look like something more specific?Decepticon Stryker wrote:Albatross250 wrote:Do wonder if it can combine with the Leader Siege Shockwave in Battleship mode, other than that it looks promising (looks like he lost both arms in the process? )

Theoretically Hasbro can design a flip-out 5mm peg at the back of the torso. But looking at the picture, in space cruiser mode the radar dish is pegged to the bot's back, meaning the 3mm hole would be on the 5mm peg. That's not gonna happen.

Emerje
The direction the wing is swept is reversed though.

Spark armor Shockwave isn't actually that bad. he has some nice sculpting, the best spark armor, and I even made him fan-mode into a cybertronian hover tank. Sadly no waist or head swivel, but still the most articulated that the other spark armor figures. Also slightly taller than core class because Cyberverse scale is weird.

They should've done Optimus in the other black deco so people could really get wound up.

From the looks of it, but that ruins the meta-ness of the figure; G2 Megatron is 100% like the original G2 figure, being a tank and all, with an added throwback to G1 that would have been perfect if that gun was colored grey.

They did: it's an homage to G2 Optimus Prime

For me, it's somewhere in the middle. I see Drag Strip and Kickback coming and going. They'll be there one day, gone the next, back again, gone again, and so on. Meanwhile, my Walmarts have pegs for the Legacy Beasts, but are either always empty or have the wrong items put on them (like Vintage BW Cybershark or the normal Legacy Deluxes), but no Legacy Beasts themselves.william-james88 wrote:o.supreme wrote:I finally saw the Walmart BW Legacy exclusives in store today, still no Dragstrip unfortunately...

I've searched for Legacy at 4 stores across 2 states and have seen the following so far:
Target in Washington: Arcee, Skids, Kickback, Bulkhead, Leaders, Exclusives (Silverstreak)
Walmart in Washington: Core Class, Voyagers, Exclusives (Beastie Boys)
Target in Idaho: Deluxes, Bulkhead (don't recall if there was stuff for Silverstreak)
Walmart in Idaho: Deluxes, Blaster (no pegs for Beastie Boys)
EDIT: Changed to include what I saw at Target today.

What's the opposite of the opposite?
Because the only Legacy I ever saw at my Walmart are the 1st wave of Cores and Bulkhead.

For me, there is Legacy's first wave at all my neighboring Walmarts, every character. Either they sell out and are restocked constantly or they simply are not selling (pretty certain it's the later).
But the Legacy beasts have not been seen in Canada yet.

Yes. My daughter was able to find another in tact however. I was more worried about missing accessories or the item itself being damaged which is being reported more often now. Yes opening it means no big deal for the packaging, but I don't like to mess with taking items back/ refunds if I don't have to.
I hate myself for getting this though, I said I wouldn't so many times. It pretty much guarantees a box set is coming now.

It's a noble sacrifice if it gets the boxset so many want just wait and see as it turns out to be a G2 or a reverse Masquerade version

An unchanged Menasor but cast as the original Autobots in that episode? Brilliant!

That ain't so bad.
My SS86 leader Coronation Starscream had its packaging COMPLETELY TRASHED.... shipped in a pristine Amazon box!
I was pissed because even the backdrop was trashed. At least not plastic was missing nor broken.

EDIT: Halohunter 553 on Discord posted in hand pictures of his newly purchased Motormaster. This is our first good look at the scale of Menasor. Also, we see how much the Motormaster contributes to the overall combiner.

I believe it transforms into a rifle for him. The top can definitely be used as a gun but I’m not sure where the rest of it goes.

I think you might be right. At first I thought it was just compressed to save space within the package but it looks like it might be the same on the back of the box...

All good. I'll be interested to see a pic of Motormaster, Rodimus Prime, Leacgy Prime and Earthrise Prime all lined up next to each other with their trailers.
