Legacy Evolution War Dawn Ariel & Dion 2-pack Sighted

I have no interest in this set, but it's really exciting to see that there are still some surprises in the world of collecting that aren't leaked at all. This set compliments the Alpha Trion/ Orion Pax Pulsecon set very well.

It's a shame it's a two-pack. I might have picked up that Erial, but Dion is a skip. I've never really cared for any of the Kup designs.

Apparently, this is a leak. It wasn't supposed to be revealed until April.

Wow, one of the last G1 cartoon only characters finally gets a toy! I loved these Cybertron lore filled episodes.

Who'd left who hasn't got a modern toy? A-3, Steeljaw, and Sea Spray's girlfriend right?

I like it as a two-pack, I just wish it had accessories like the last one. When I first saw the box front, I thought maybe we'd be getting energon cubes. These will be my fourth of each base mold, but at least they'll look different.

Ooo, heads are gonna roll...

Pretty interesting that Orion and Dion share molds now, even with the latter's new accessories.

This set just convinced me to find that Trion and Orion. I love how these guys look, even if (A)riel kinda has a small head.

Now, I want figures of the Decepticon sentries we saw in War Dawn, those truck units and the cuboid units they carry (a core class figure, easy army building).

Oooo, this is a must buy set the minute it becomes available. Already have the Orion Pax and Alpha Trion one, anyway.

Kinda wondering if they'll make a third set for the next chapter of the Legacy line, and if it'll be Decepticons troop builders.

That's an interesting 2 pack and at a very good price too.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

This War Dawn 2-pack seems an easy pass for me. I never got the Kup figure, or Legacy Arcee. Didn't care much for either.

Ariel's trademark safe name is messing with my head everytime I read it, because it means "wasteland" in spanish. Like I read it and think "Is that a new Decepticon?"

"War Dawn" you say? Time for new Aerialbots?

Maybe you can split it with someone who doesn't care for Ariel? I do find it odd that they're just calling it a 2-pack instead of putting the characters' names on the packaging.

Until a couple weeks ago,I hadn't seen any Legacy period at any Walmarts near me. It was like they filled the space with Velocitron stuff only. I was shocked to see Legacy deluxe wave 3 last week at one store, but I haven't seen core in a long time either at Walmart. They did the same with Titan Masters and Battle Masters though. All Walmarts stopped after the first few waves.

Ooooo, I'll likely pick up this set. I like the Prime Arcee mold and I'm glad Dion's gotten a new toy.

I never had the Legacy Prime Arcee mold. This Ariel/Erial redeco might be enough to get in on it. But what happened to the wheels that was behind the shoulders?

Dion is a nope though. Got Kup & Orion Pax from this mold already and they weren't great as a toy. This just makes me want to paint my PTOP Kup into Dion to save some much needed dough.

Likely attached to the kibble on the back, if I recall correctly that's also a way to store it on the original toy as well.

Not to go to off topic, but I kinda like "Erial" as the spelling over name "Ariel". Same pronunciation so it doesn't really bother me. As for the figures, I really need to see better pictures before I can make a solid judgement. Wasn't happy about seeing the SS86 Kup mold again, especially on Dion with Orion sharing it, but I guess it makes sense (especially if somehow you're someone who still likes to think Dion became Ultra Magnus at some point). Erial being on the Prime Arcee mold is...underwhelming, mainly because of the issues I have with the bot mode as usual. But at least she has new hands, blaster, and bike parts to go along with the new head.

On the other hand, would anyone else be interested in an Animated repaint of the Erial rendition of this mold? Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro decided to go that route.

Nacelle incoming as an Amazon exclusive via JTPrime

I'd much rather an Animated Elita come from a repaint of the Legacy Elita mold. Animated Elita had a car mode, and while she'd be blockier and have a different silhouette, it'd be better imo than the wrong vehicle mode and wrong silhouette, but not as blocky

I see... didn't pay much attention to reviews of the mold, but in my mind the 3 decos of the mold I know of they all had the wheels visible from the front, iirc.

There's an option to have them visible from the front, mainly for its intended placement as Road Rocket's shoulder wheels à la the original RR toy.
It can also be split in half to be some sort of futuristic energy-disc-launcher-doohickey gun for robot mode as well.

YES

Assuming it’s true and doesn’t get shelves

AcademyofDrX wrote:Nacelle incoming as an Amazon exclusive via JTPrime

I'm definitely interested in this, but it's really hinged on the color scheme Hasta goes with.

AcademyofDrX wrote:Nacelle incoming as an Amazon exclusive via JTPrime

Ooohh, color me intrigued. At least an amazon exclusive should not be impossible to get.

I'm sure they'll get the color right for Nacelle. But will it be ER Thrust repaint or another Tetrajet ? I can see cases for both.

I'm betting on it just being the Thrust tooling with the regular (or screaming) 'Screamer noggin. I could see them using the tetrajet tooling too but I guess they wanna squeeze more out of the Earthrise Seeker tooling after already wringing the Siege one pretty dry.

Oh, great, an Amazon exclusive. Terrific.

I'm glad we're getting another Seeker, but Amazon's burned me in the past.

I'm likewise not fond of Amazon exclusives, I just hope I can get ny hands on a Nacelle before it gets marked up to insane prices elsewhere.
Right, Ramjet and Dirge?

For me Amazon has had the best success rate for actually getting their exclusives to me. I've gotten every exclusive of theirs since Prime Wars without issue, can't say that about Target and definitely not Walmart or Walgreens.

I think one of the only exclusive line I've struggled to get was anything in Walmart's Velocitron line solely because where I live they just did not even try to stock it that much
I'm lucky I at least have Road Rocket and Override...

Can't wait for the two-pack. Also, yesterday this happened -






Grabbed him at Gamestop during pro-week, with my coupon got him for 12.49. I was surprised to see him, since I have basically half the wave one deluxes because they're d9fficult to find.

We thank fellow Seibertronian Sol Magnus for letting us know of a nice find in the US. He found Crosscut at a Gamestop in Maryland. While big box stores have a history of being where fans find their toys, the focus has really shifted to more collector based outlets, which are more likely to have current toys. We are seeing that with Gamestop in Canada where the Evoltuion wave 2 core class are also being found right now at Gamestops.

My pleasure. Seibertron.com is my safe place. LOL

Woooo a new dion! Ariel looks pretty good too even if the prime arcee mould is a little ifffy. I know some won't be excited, but I'm gonna love having them to go with Orion Pax. War Dawn is just one of those episodes I really remember from watching G1 as a kid.

They're coming! My Shrapnel shipped from Amazon last night and should be here today.

That's a neat 2-pack and I'd be keen on getting Ariel, but like others have pointed out just not a fan of that Kup mold enough to sell me on it completely.

I only have 2 Amazon pre-orders at the moment:

Crashbar (still shows a release date of May 1st ) and Core Grimlock (June 1st). It would be nice though, for once, to have these items in-hand before the next wave goes up for pre-order.

I still have yet to see studio series Ironhide or transmetal 2 megs at retail. People finding new transformers are sure lucky!

Nacelle may be cool since I never got Thrust and may never either. Although I am still waiting on news of a G2 Starscream. That is my only real seeker want after getting a Sandstorm.

TMII Megatron, nope, I doubt I'll see that any time soon. SS86 Ironhide though....That and AoE Galvatron are at every Target in my neck of the woods at least, theyve even gone on sale a couple of times.

I only saw Ironhide for the first time today at Target, they're still shipping. Haven't seen TM2 Megs in stores, but they restocked on Pulse so I grabbed one there.

I hope that leaked VNR Optimus isn't some limited exclusive. I'd love to pick him up to go with Legacy Arcee and Knock Out to serve as "Prime Universe Optimus Prime".

And speaking of Primes, it seems like (at least according to Entertainment Earth) we'll be getting Armada Prime officially revealed April 18th

It's exclusive but shouldn't be limited. I don't think we've had anything labelled as limited in a long time.

I have not seen any Legacy cores past wave 1.

Alpha Trion has 2 toys from the last 10 years.

Nice, hope he ends up matching the Botcon one, that was a more unique seeker

Not old man Alpha Trion, his younger self, A3.

I'm mostly worried that it's an SDCC or Fan Fest exclusive like Dion and Erial are rumored to be. Though, they do seem to have gone the route of making enough so the stock lasts a while if Orion and Alpha Trion are any indication

Ravage and the Alpha Trion/Orion were readily available well after their respective conventions, I think this set will be the same. If I wanted, I could have bought both during big Hasbro Pulse sales too, but I already had Ravage and did not want Trion/Pax

Ehhhhh, kinda? But made to order is a whole different matter. I would consider them different than a limited release.
