Courtesy of Hasbro designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher on Instagram we can share for your images of the color prototype of the recently revealed Transformers Legacy G2 Leadfoot.
We have a nice image of G2 Leadfoot (retool and redeco of Kingdom Earth Mode Mirage) showing his poseability and combined with his partner Fossilizer Masterdominus which gives him extra parts and weapons. A great combination in both figures and colors.
But Mark is algo treating is with a nice reveal. You can combine a piece of Masterdominus with another piece of Fossilizer Spindle to create a new Fossilizer combiner head. A great shared playability factor!
See the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I'm still kind of laughing at Omega Prime being a Haslab, cause that would have a tone of repaint options. Armada Prime has SG and Nemesis colors.

Legacy Motormaster already has 1 guaranteed reuse: G2 Motormaster
Edit: it's 1 more reuse than most other commanders get. (Yes, I see you SG Jetfire)

I want Thunderclash to be his own mold. There’s an Optimus repaint baked in! A Motormaster retool would be meh. Maybe good.
TFA Optimus? No thank you. Horrible idea, especially when there’s a bunch of repaint options for TFA Optimus already, so an ill fitting half baked homage would be so unfortunate. It’d be my GUOP, I tell you what.

Well since you mentioned you'd be stunned by it being so obvious it reminded me of everyone who straight-up would be disappointed. Since Commander Motormaster recolor seems to be the common hopeful idea & all. Didn't mean to lump ya in when ya actually disagree, sorry.
flux convoy
Don't know why I'd be disappointed by that.

It's the way his old toy looked & how Legacy Motormaster seems like it'd be a perfect way to reference both his Vehicle & Base Modes.

Ya know what? I'd be down! I'm sure it'd disappoint a bunch of folks like @flux convoy, but honestly this is probably the only way I can see ThunderClash fitting within the confines of a Capsule, what with these being 90% recolors with small bits of different tooling. I'd be VERY surprised if we ever got a whole-ass Commander in one of these things, but it'd be really welcome surprise too!

I saved that digibash because I was amused (for several reasons), but what's this about?
flux convoy
I would be stunned if Legacy Motormaster wasn't tooled to be Thunderclash. The giant obvious gun platform clue has been pulsating in blinding neon lights all along.

Facts! What's hilarious is that we have Minerva now, only she's not a Headmaster. Ya know what…….she is actually a Wrecker in IDW 2.0. Hmm…………
*Looks at TFWiki page*
Okay hear me out; watch the next Wrecker Capsule be a mix of traditional members & IDW 2.0, but the latter will have their red insignia that looks like a skull with crossbones.
So we'd probably be looking at:
• Leader Sandstorm with his cartoon head
• Minerva as is
• Diaclone Topspin to be with his brother
• Hot Shot re-release from Selects
• Ricochet would be another recolor of SS86 Jazz, just with his Targetmaster this time
• Circuit could be a recolor of Kingdom Mirage ala Leadfoot to homage his exosuit
• Thunderclash has been rumored for a while & in IDW 2.0 he was the freaking leader of the group, so he could turn up as well, though I don't know what mould he'd be
Just a guess, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this were the case.

Ooh, Breacher. I've got the scout class generations toy, which is cool. Wonder what they'll do with him.
the oaf
I need a Breacher. It's the only Wrecker I'm missing. Maybe a Xaaron as well.
<Edit> Oooh… long shot, but a Carnivac would be good as well.
DracoPrimal
Nice! And admittedly, Breacher is a WAY more likely outcome.
marvel b
Funnily enough that was my reference as well. I just happened to skim through the Wreckers TFWiki page and saw Breacher there and decided to hit two birds with one stone.

1st I love idea of the inserts/boxes being used to make Broadside's boat mode… that's pretty great.
2nd: this harkens back to something I still would love to see…View attachment 30306009
(I just have the screenahot from long ago… not my post)
While Breacher would be a great stand-alone reuse pf Fasttrack (and a must-buy for me), I would have it be an all new character "Roll Out" formed from the trailer's repair drone/turret "Outreach" and transport drone "Roller".

Spindle is pretty cool, holds together ok but the tolerances are noticeably looser on my copy than on Paleotrex or Transmutate
JazzAlert13
Hell yeah, love qc issues lol. Thanks. I'll probably get it, love that Impactor mold and the tooling that comes in the pack.
marvel b
I'd say so. Just be aware that you need to dip Spindle's ankles in boiling water for a few seconds and press them in. The ankles are warped outward which makes the joint extremely loose and results in her foot falling off.
JazzAlert13
Alright, I have a question for those of you have the Impactor/Spindle two pack and Paleotrex: Do you think that Spindle offers enough "new" to make it worth owning alongside Paleotrex?
I am seriously contemplating getting the two pack as I really want that Impactor, but idk how I feel about having the Paleotrex for the third time (I may have stupidly bought the Megatron spoiler pack because it was cheap lol). Seeing as it's about $45 cad right now, that's about an extra $10 for Spindle, and it's kind of giving me pause towards the pack, you know?

Southpark already did it.
