Courtesy of Facebook pages of Planet Iacon and Singaporean Toy Store Robo Robo, we have some fresh new in package images of wave 2 Legends Class figures from Power of the Primes. It appears this wave consists of the three following figures: Roadtrip, Battleslash, and Autobot Tailgate. Roadtrip and Battleslash appear to be new molds with designs that are reminiscent of the Generation 1 Duocon Battletrap. Their bio on the back of the card reads “Terminate AUTOBOTS with his DUOCON partner BATTLESLASH / ROADTRAP“, hinting at their ability to combine. (New images from Planet Iacon now shows instructions and the two figures in combined mode). Meanwhile Autobot Tailgate appears to be a repaint and retool version of wave 1’s Windcharger figure, and more closely based on the character’s Generation 1 toy design. Check out the images of these brand new figures in package and Duocon Battletrap just released in Singapore after the break.

Loving those photos! what figure stand did they use to hold up Battleslash? im grabbing the set tomorrow and have some amazon credit leftover so im thinking i might get a stand

LOL, true dat. in the face of POTP Battletrap, the botcon stand-in is just an embarrassment to display when you think about the price and that its a repaint. I mean, who wanna put on display proof that they were suckered…
Also, metalhawk, elita-1, overlord, etc Hasbro so much better than botconjobs

Mainly works for me because I simply see him as a deluxe figure that splits into two little robots as a bonus

Not mine but since my store has like a dozen sets of them I'm kind of tempted to buy them if nothing at all to buy something TF related for once (Tailgate has been my only mainline purchase since wave 1 came out). I'm hoping Weijiang or someone would KO them and upscale them though. That would be just about perfect.
Other then that, anyone want to trade a set of Battletrap for wave 2 Prime masters? I can hook you up! lol

Just got mine, I'm pretty happy with it sure I have nitpicks, but this is a unique concept at this size and I really appreciate it.
Criticisms:
– They need guns and the guns need to combine.
– Truck mode tailgate could be a little better.

they work just fine for my collection and mine isnt strictly legends

I am

Except for their size, unless one is a Legends scale collector. Otherwise, they don't work for any collection beyond that.

Agree battletrap and the clones are virtually spot on. Love them.

I have that prickly heat talcum powder, it's very effective against heat rash.

Just got home and tried it. Very nice. That is how he is going to stay. . . . For now.

Nice. I wish i wasnt at work and at home so i can try that out. Just 3 more hours untill i can get home and do so. It is going to be a long shift.
Ugh. I wish that didn’t post sideways.

I'm hoping the usual suspects will come through – Nonnef, Renderform, Toyhax, Dr. Wu or even something on Shapeways.

My only gripe with Battletrap is that I got used to the Marvel Comics using that half-faceplate head, so he looks weird with an exposed face based on the toy's. But since Roadtrap has that head, the hommage is there after all.
Btw, anyone else felt that disturbance in the Force? When a thousand Botcon Battletrap owners cried out were suddenly posting their toy on Ebay? (seriously, looking for the new toy on ebay brings up a lot of the Springer repaints…)
Also, seeing the G1 toy face reminds me, anyone ever had these Micro Metamorph KOs? I always called him "Cyrano de Battletrap" because for some reason, they replicate the G1 toy perfectly, but enlarged Battletrap's nose to Pinochhio levels.

Really? Seriously, this could not be more G1 accurate. It's light grey just like the G1 toy. Hasbro did an awesome job with the colors lately – I just took photos of Pounce and Wingspan next to the G1 ones, and their blues and whites are the exact shade, even!

I really like this, but the helicopter should be more of a grey color?
Come on Takara, make it so

I'd prefer if they redo them as Rollbar and Powerdive.
Gets us an extra Throttlebot and a Rotorforce guy.
They can redo Flywheels as Warpath and…
