Hasbro has also released official images of Transformers Generations Legends Series! The sixth wave of Generations Legends is pictured here and features More than Meets the Eye’s Tailgate with Groundpounder and Insecticon Sharpshot with Reflector – who transforms into both camera and weapon for the Insecticon!
Check out the images after the break and keep it TFW for more San Diego Comic Con 2013 coverage! Also be sure to visit our sister sites Hisstank, Tokunation and Toyark for more coverage of all the other cool things on show!

I just found a crushed box with Tailgate and Groundbuster in the Star Wars section of my local TRU. Last one, but the toy seems fine inside so I picked it up. Still never even saw Cosmos here.
Anyways, I was ammused to see that Groundbuster has a rank 7, while Tailgate has a 6, so technically Groundbuster is the commander of the pair, and Tailgate is sidekick!
Just read that Grounduster is a bomb disposal unit and intended to be G1 Neutro. Weird.

Insecticon Sharpshot sure look sharp enough

Oh, Well if they're general Retail figures, why the hell are we referring to them as SDCC Legends? That would be like referring to FE Terrorcon Cliffjumper (the one that doesn't come in the awesome Box With the Dark Energon Accessories) as RIP Cliffjumper.

Oh thank goodness, for a second there I was about to have a heart attack.
I'm so ready for Tailgate its insane.
Very low, I think. It sounds like the line's struggling. As long as we get at least Tailgate/Shrapnel's wave, I'm happy.

What do you guys think are the chances we will get the other Minibots and Insecticons in this size class…
Jalaguy
No, he was REVEALED at last year's SDCC.

Tailgate is SDCC Exclusive?
aw man… that means I'll have to pay exorbitant Secondary retail for him… not awesome….

Does anyone know when he's supposed to be released? I can't find a date anywhere!

I wonder when these guys are gonna get a pre order date or release. Kinda getting close to the movie and I'm afraid these two great figures may not see the light of day.

Oh man. I'm excited for both of these guys. If they make an IDW Cyclonus to go with Tailgate, and a Kickback and Bombshell, I will take back everything bad I said about Hasbro back when Armada was out.
I love that we're getting so many IDW characters, and Tailgate is one of my favorites.
I couldn't tell from the images, but if Tailgate has a Ball-Jointed head, that'll be the sweet, sweet Icing on the cake

All good reason to me! As much as it may come across as a negative in my earlier post, this wouldn't be a bad repaint into Minerva.

Self Illumination and Cyberglyphs really evoke that 1980's look – er hang on no, they don't !
101 : Uses for a Tailgate –
1) Install a magnet in it and see if you can get it to Tailgate Tonka trucks without stopping or sticking to it.
2) Feed it to Trypticon
3) Give it to Airachnid to do unspeakable things to it.
4) Tie it upside down from a chain and let Feral Rex play catch with it or use it as a chew toy.
5) See how Minicons he can hold without falling over.
6) Repaint it into Cliffjumper
7) Repaint it into Windcharger
8) repaint it into Rook
9)… Repaint it into…. snore zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… Oh sorry I dozed off there for a minute. I was going to say something about Decepticharge I think.

Tailgate looks pretty awesome, (just don't try to transform him )
Needs "Bomb Disposal" on his arm though, and light piping (these jokes are for MTMTE fans)
Anyone notice Bodyblock looks a biiiiiiiit like a certain City Commander? (interesting)
Jalaguy
It's 'cause he's based on Tailgate's MTMTE design, which has got dainty little legs:

I'm afraid I may have to pass on Tailgate. I don't normally pick apart things, but his bottom legs should definitely be more robust, like his G1 counterpart/Windcharger.

No not a joke. As much as I like the scout size, I feel he's too big to fit with the legends minibots and too small for the deluxe minibots. Also, I'm not a fan of his transformation with the hood on the chest. It just doesn't feel right to me. I hope this one is closer to the original legends size. But that's just my opinion.
T-Logicon
Bought on sight. As are the first wave, once I find them at retail. Tailgate looks awesome!
rosewater
Excellent point. I, too am gladdened.

Prime and Bumblebee have been out for at least a month in my area. I imagine we should be seeing Megatron and Starscream within the next 2 weeks.
