San Diego Comic-Con 2022 Preview Night Hasbro Booth – Transformers Legacy

SPLIT LIP

Those old toys may be lacking in articulation but they have more presence. The newer BW updates feel flat in terms of colours and proportions.

Legacy TM2 Megs doesn’t even look bad or anything, but the proportions and plastic make it look so bland and, as you said, cheap. The original with its gradient wings, chrome, and black plastic and paint apps looked way more visually striking than the sea of red on Legacy.

This is so gonna be a hot take: I really like that he has no chrome on him can I feel like I could mess with him and not have to worry about any chrome flaking off of him (like my TM2 Dinobot).

So if we get more transmetals I hope they are the same.

Also I get what your saying about presence and I can see it but personally and this is just me but I find the new figures way more interesting like for example vintage BW Megatron and Kingdom Megs. The og while cool just never look interesting or wanting to own were as the Kingdom figure I love and that's from someone who doesn't even love S1 Megatrons designs all that much.

Inner robot with the (missing) shell's organic head jammed on top.

Alongside the shell's belt, shoulder pauldrons and knee spikes.

TM2 Megatron looks really cheap, I will take a 3P route this time.

Once again the old toy is A LOT OF times better than the newer one, amazing Hasbro, amazing.

Uh, okay then…

Not a shell. Not just the inner robot. Not the organic outer form transforming (like Iguanus).

Inner robot with the (missing) shell's organic head jammed on top. Too big to have a shell added; doesn't seem to have enough volume to open up and contain a, say, core class "shell" figure.

Honestly did not think of that option, and I suppose I should have. Suspect that this is an attempt at a compromise, and will please very few.

I can feel my soul curdling.

The latest recap of the TF panel just said tomorrow the new wave will be on display.

is it a leak if they reveal it themselves?

anyway, I'm interested to see how that Skullgrin head works with his tank-mode.

If Hasbro can't beat the leakers, they'll just have to become the leakers.

Better keep an eye on him if you do.

I am getting TM2 Megs, I want to like TM2 Megs, but there’s something about that face sculpt that I just don’t like. Can’t put my finger on it.

I agree with you on that. Tbh I never really liked any of the TM2 designs from the show so no matter how this figure looked I probably wasn't gonna love it anyway. But I love Beast Wars so I will purchase it

That Beast Hunters Predacon logo is sacrilege.
