Hasbro have released official images from their SDCC2014 Transformers panel, and we’ve got them here for your enjoyment. Next up we’ve got the toys for the Robots in Disguise Legion and Warrior classes (aka Legends and Deluxe, by the looks of things). These would appear to be on the “collector” end of the line’s spectrum. In this post take a look at pictures of:
Legion Class Strongarm
Legion Class Optimus Prime
Warrior Class Bumblebee
Flexx Ark
Cyberverse is back and so am I. Long arm looks like she'll fit right in with my current collection. I'm looking forward to seeing if we'll get a Decepticon troop-building mold or two.
Ratchets Hatch
Well it's nice to see Cyberverse returning in a new form. And that Bumblebee actually looks pretty nice. Very reminiscent of Animated.
Steevy Maximus
Because that would need more pieces, which would likely increase the cost of production.

i just wanna see legends bee and sideswipe
Skottech
On Warrior Bumblebee:I wonder why didn't they make the piece that dangles off the back of each leg able to compact further
or
just make it collapse it into his back under the door wings (bonus no split "glass" in Alt mode)
Afterburner
Definitely not a fan of the eyebrows.
Basilisk
Can't wait to see more of this toyline, I'll echo what someone else said and say I'd like to see a Voyager version of that Optimus design, and a Deluxe Strong arm would be awesome too!
Is it just me or does Strong Arm share some similarities with Animated Sentinel Prime?
David Hingtgen
Thank you, I thought I was the only one who saw and was worried by that. If nothing else it LOOKS awful. That's worse than back-kibble, it's like, thigh-knee-calf kibble.

Believe me, we'll get one.
Dolza_Khyron
both.
Enigma2K2
… is that Optimus Prime wearing bell bottoms or cuffed pants?
Ramdomaccess
If we don't get a Road Rage repaint of Strongarm some messed you

Transformers back and blocky like the Energon series. Watch ever. Us fans needs to just go with the flow and enjoy what we see and buy.
Edwardmus Prime
I may not see the cartoon because I do not have the hub but I am actually interested in the figures of its line. That Bumblebee does not look bad at all.
Honestly, the Optimus Prime interests me the most. Something about the design gets me, maybe it is the trailer and chest. I would like a Voyager of the design.
thunder117
You know, it does…the Star Saber was never destroyed.
Autovolt 127
That actually sounds plausible.
Digilaut
Yes, it probably is. Literally every official product photo, or on-show figure of unreleased toys, are handpainted resin prototypes.
Hasbro creates resin prototypes out of the designs before committing themselves to getting the steel molds made for proper production – as those cost thousands of dollars.
Not able to look them up right now, but I bet the videos are still on Youtube somewhere: designer diaries where they show the creation of Transformers toys. At one point they show their resin model printer.
Maximus Alpha
From Nedroid
Dolza_Khyron
idk.
i prefer melee. the sword looks pretty cool, after all.
Requiem Prime
Dammit Hasbro. One minute I'm thinking I'm finally immune to your half-promise marketing wiles and then you make a bumblebee out of sexitoinium.
