Hasbro designer Mark Maher is continuing his behind the scenes looks at Transformers figures tonight, as he’s now shared one on his Instagram page for the upcoming Legacy Evolution Deluxe Needlenose!
“Introducing Legacy Evolution Deluxe Needlenose with Target Master Zigzag and Sunbeam! Ittoku Kuwazu from Takara Tomy did a fantastic job on this fan fav!
.
The articulation on this mold is fantastic! Posing with all the different attachements and combo’s with his target masters is so much fun! Versatility is such a key attribute of this Evolution series, I really can’t wait for everyone to fiddle with this guy in hand. Transformation sequence is so clean, pleasing, and somthing I really really enjoyed!
.
His Evo-Fusion feature is showcased here with his 2 Target Masters combining and forming a giant thruster. You can open up the feet underneath the engine and there is a unique connection point to attach them. Get your Gen Selects Tricranius blast effects out and really go wild with all the compatibility.
.
There’s alot more than meets the eye about this mold 🤫 soon more secret abilities will be featured either here or on our next livestream!
.
Make sure you get out your Deluxe Kingdom Tracks toy and start building some cool chic chips to floss! 💁🏻♂️”

@Avux Apologies for atting you and using this thread to do so- but I need to point out that your avatar pic has the wrong color helmet!

Crazy blood god Rhinox….? I could go for that.
Bob Schoonover
That's actually unfortunate, because while it would be harder to paint through the teeth, the result could look like blood pouring off the rhino teeth
T-Hybrid
Not for nothing, but those aren't the real beast teeth. They could retool the chest and not give up anything around it.
Bob Schoonover
I'm thinking a (hopefully soon) TM Rhinox might be a better base for him, but I'll take it either way. It's easier to paint Stranglehold's bandolier on the TM version than have it go through the beast mode teeth of the organic one
T-Hybrid
Stranglehold from Rhinox. I can take it.
THE-TRANSFORMER
I always assumed Ruckus would come from Sureshot.
Gladly take both Windsweeper and Dogfight when we can get them. However wouldn't a new mould that could be turned into each other be a better option?

I am hoping for more deluxe jets, and sooner than later.
I took a long time to warm up to Needlenose, but this talk of a Windsweeper and maybe even Dogfight has me hand wringing and hoping for complete Triggercon/Triggerbot team updates.
I'd also love to see Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex, and Skywarp/Thundercracker, so we can get repaints as BWII Dirge and Thrust.
Bob Schoonover
I'd love he and Stranglehold. I want them very soon
T-Hybrid
Is this means a new Octopunch I will gladly be half wrong.
Bob Schoonover
I think you're half right – it'll be an updated Mayhem Attack Squad (or similar). No Triggerbots, more bad guys including the other two Triggercons
Dinobot Snarl
I do find it interesting that they used Windsweeper's tail which is very distinctive while a normal rudder wouldn't limit them to a specific jet. Even paired with Windsweeper a normal tail wouldn't be out of place.
JazzAlert13
Have faith… at least hopefully the wings will be pointed in the right direction!
Dinobot Snarl
I don't think an accurate one will ever come
ScorponokIsHere
I dunno, I'd want a Dogfight with wings on the fronts of his arms, not attached to his back, so there'd have to be some retooling before I'd be satisfied. Windsweeper's close enough to still work.
T-Hybrid
Yeah…part of me thinks that "Package Refresh" as part of the leaked Capsule Series may be Crankcase and we're heading towards a bunch of Tiggercon/Triggerbot figures.
Thundershot
Indeed. Pretty sure we could get Windsweeper AND Dogfight from Needlenose.
JazzAlert13
Yeah but I’m not too sure how much retoooing they’d do lol. Maybe some considering they retooled Skids for Crankcase.
You wouldn’t want to wait for something more accurate?
Dinobot Snarl
Okay but Windsweeper has to wait his turn!
Dogfight first!

Then Windsweeper lol

Hrmmm that's the same tail that Needlenose has isn't it?
Spinodactyl
At this point there has to be a Windsweeper retool from Needlenose, all the kibble and details do match up!
Ruckus being a retool of Beachcomber sounds good, they just need to retool Beachcomber's dune buggy cockpit.
