Damn!
I actually thought there was a Pulsecon announced this year.

In Beast Wars Ravage had both The Predacon logo & Decepticon logo. Why is the Decepticon logo missing from the toy?

Just a small safety FYI for future reference, not trying to be annoying or anything, just to inform. And this goes for everyone. If you're going to try to block out personally identifying information in an image in that way, I strongly recommend using a more complete obfuscation method.
Scratching out (as well as blurring or pixelating) text can pretty easily be overcome these days. Better to just remove the text in question entirely, or, cover them entirely with an 100% opaque rectangle or other shape.
Just putting it out there for safety purposes, since I know people with good intentions who have inadvertently shared private info like that in the recent past.
Q Prime
Yeah, quite a few folks on here have gotten their's. If you want to keep up with other UK folks and Transformers in the UK, you're free to visit the UK Toy Discussion thread.
floper69
huh, i never noticed this, then again im only paying attention to dragstrip and G2 optimus
Q Prime
Bulkhead is also out on just about every good UK toy E-tailer. For a few weeks already.
floper69
update on this, bulkhead is out on ebay, i mean im not buying him but its cool that he came out 4 months early. (i cant post a link because i made the account yesterday)View attachment 29428955

It's been since Mid October since these were revealed. That's about 5 months ago. I'm hoping then wave 2 will be revealed soon.
Zentropy
That’s unfortunate from my perspective, but as long as they keep the translucent plastic in the accessories, I’m ok with it.
Kaleb Hart
The main gimmick of the Legacy line is Energon weapons (which is probably why they went with Eject rather than the more popular Rewind)
Zentropy
Ah, I understand. I don’t particularly like the use of translucent plastics in transformers (except when it represents glass), but given that many cassette tapes back in the day were translucent, it makes sense.
Jeddostotle7
No, you were right, Eject is translucent blue on the Kingdom version same as he is on the Legacy version. There's no differences between the figures, Kaleb was just saying that Eject being translucent blue is more fitting with the line it's in with the Legacy release than it is with the Kingdom release.
Zentropy
Oh, I thought Eject was translucent blue on the one I saw. I could be mistaken.
Kaleb Hart
Eject being made of clear plastic makes more sense, that's about it.
Zentropy
Ah, I beg pardon. I didn't pay any attention to the packaging when I saw them on the shelves– only the figure itself. I didn't realize Blaster was being released twice. Is there any difference in the actual toy?
Q Prime
This is specifically the Legacy packaging version.
Those seem perfectly reasonable, given the Voyagers are available elsewhere and Iguanus started getting shipped out in the UK this week too. If anything the June ones seem rather far.
Zentropy
Blaster’s been out for weeks in retail stores though.
floper69
just found out that on smyths toys superstores website some of the legacy transformers are set to realease early, probably just an error on their part but it could mean the realease date has been pushed foreward.
for anyone wondering the dates are: G2 optimus – june 2022, blaster – march 10 to march 20 2022, bulkhead – march 10 to march 20 2022, arcee – june 2022, dragstrip – april 2022, kickback – april 2022.
if someone has noticed this already well thats my fault for not reading
