First Look at Transformers Legacy United Beasts Machine Cheetor

First-Aid wrote:Bot mode looks okay but beast mode lacks the amazing streamining and sleakness of the character. This definitely looks Geewunned, more like he should be in the Predacon (G1) team, not Beast Machines.

He probably looks a little leaner in bot mode if he wasn't all scrunched up like that. Cheetas normally stand tall. It looks better on the back of the box. I do wish the front legs were slightly longer.

Wait...does that sign say "Polio McCrispy"?

Polio? I would NOT buy that sandwich, no matter how good it looks...

It is Blurry. But the 2nd "L" in POLLO is in the lighter part of the clouds, so you cant see the bottom part very easily. But having a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, as Rtron said; "Pollo" makes perfect sense.

Well, there could always be an outbreak of hemolytic–uremic syndrome due to bad hygiene! But I doubt they'd advertise it on their sandwich's packaging.

Can't argue with that...never rule out good ol' Salmonella or Tomaine poisoning, either!

Not so much exclusivity vs being shortpacked or not-available.

The problem with dead end was being only 1 per case (like Cosmos). If they were 2 per case, and had wider sidtribution, the problem goes away. But again like yuo said, Good on Hasbro for fixing Walmarts Blunder. Same for Galaxy Shuttle. I was one of the fortunate ones that managed to get him on walmart.com, but he was never in store.

I understand when there is an uneven number of toys, someone has to get shorted, but thats what Package refreshes are ideally for. Not re re-release toys readily available.

Many complained about how difficult it was to obtain all the limbs for PotP Orthia. While it was an Amazon Exclusive, a Selects, and 2 standard retail. All were pretty easy to obtain at the time.

Amid all these awesome listings, I just noticed the one that terrifies me the most: Leader class Overcharge.

Who is Overcharge, you ask? Not "who", "what". Overcharge is a redeco of Blitzwing. In very ordinary, non-striking colors. And is a troop-builder, no less, so there might be a lot of them to go around.

With how badly Blitzwing has shelf-warmed thus far, I dread how badly Overcharge is going to do the same.

We just can't escape that mold.

I'm curious just how close to the exclusive these PRs will be. We've never really seen Hasbro do this before, but considering Legacy Dirge wasn't 100% like the original I'm guessing we'll see some slight changes here as well.

Meanwhile, still no Bumblebee.

The lack of Bumblebee is getting a bit suspicious. It could just be typical corporate hypercorrection, with them just not wanting to release any extra Bumblebees AT ALL now. They did make sure not to feature him in the comic book, for example. But there's another possibility: that they're not rerealising the Netflix Bumblebee because a new one is in the works. ALthough they're taking their sweet time to rerelease Soundwave too, so maybe it's just them taking a long time and that's it.

Somehow I missed this one, so this is the first time I'm seeing it. In light of that, it makes a lot of sense to make Armada Wheeljack, especially given that they already have the scar on the mold and everything.

Wow, yeah in light of this Armada Wheeljack is very unsurprising.

While Armada Wheeljack isn't a character I would have guessed there would be enough demand for, I hadn't thought about how easy of toy it is to make using Sideswipe molds, so that makes a lot of sense.

Though, sadly, I don't expect the Wheeljack version to come with his Mini-Con since it's just going to be a normal retail release, and none of the normal retail releases of Armada characters in the Legacy line have come with theirs. It took Hot Shot getting a special online exclusive in order for him to get Jolt included.

So now we've seen Armada Prime, Hot Shot, and Wheeljack, and Megatron and Starscream. I wonder if we are going to see one of the other 'Cons (besides Tidal Wave). I said when it came out that the Jhiaxus mold had Armada Thrust vibes to it but it may be a bit big.

My local Walmart carried almost nothing from Velocitron, and I still have yet to see ANYTHING from Toxitron. Literally not one figure.
Had either of these Stunticons been regular retail releases, I could've bought them from any number of online retailers (possibly with free shipping) very, very easily.

You can throw-out "readily available" if you want to, but that's not the reality with exclusives.

My Armada wish list right now (in order):
Sideways
Jetfire (hopefully with a Legacy Prime combination)
Blurr
Demolishor
Thrust
A Nemesis Prime repaint

Thanks to JTPrime, we now know of new listings within the Legacy United line. While G2 Breakdown and Armada Wheeljack are new, all others are reteleases of sought after toys and figures which were moved, like Sureshot and core class BW Dinobot. Fans should be very happy about this....

That's why I go back to distribution. That was YOUR experience. Mine was that I saw almost every Velocitron toy in abundance. So much so that they went on clearance (except obviously for Cosmos (never saw) & Clampdown (only saw a couple times))
