Space Bridge reveals NOT up for pre-order today
Editor’s Note – Evan said he prefers Optimus Prime as a firetruck – so now he is legally obligated to do RID01 Optimus Prime / Super Fire Convoy. LEGALLY. Threat of imprisonment. DO IT.

Same with metalhawk
Crashbar I dont know

I think Shrapnel is also the best looking figure of the wave. Twincast and crosscut will suffer because some people only buy one version of a mold. Skyquake looks awesome but people are more picky with Leader molds and some will wait for any repaint/retool.
Sunbow Prime
Shrapnel is still the only one that sold out.
G1 man…

I know I'm a week late on this, just didn't have as much time to work on this unfortunately, but these are my thoughts on the Jan. 31st live stream reveals as well as the small reveals over the past month or so if anyone is interested!
Legacy was the least interesting of the two for me, at least with what was shown off. Just not much doing it for me! Studio Series stuff was cool and more interesting but I gotta admit, didn't quite do it for me either. Not a bad stream though and it had plenty of cool stuff!

I just picked up Rumble and Thundercracker at my LA Target for $8.49 each. They also had Bomb-Burst and Leo Prime.
DracoPrimal
Well… yellow lion, yes… but Under-3? No. I'd be more willing to believe a "Leo Minor" (Lio Junior) deco to go with that B.A.T. Skywarp that was released.
Fenrys
I think we're getting better decos out of it in the long run

I guess this means amazon prime is dead in the water.

Vector Oracle
No, but Entertainment Earth put up a listing for it, so it kind of got announced by somebody. (But not Hasbro.)
TargetmasterJoe
Retool it so that the front cab becomes the boots, or no sale.
RKillian
I was thinking about that the other day. These lines seem really short lately and they're even shorter if you pull out the packaging refreshes that weren't really a thing until WFC. Legacy only had three waves as-is and would've only been two without package refreshes from Kingdom.
BBJazz
I'm hoping Devcon, Strongarm, and Shadow Striker are all new molds. I think they'd be alright as repaints, but there have been a lot of repaints in Legacy Evo already.
Omegaclaw
What the hell already!?
Dirge121
Hell yeah baby, wave 2 already let’s go!
Foster
Yeah! And they didn't even mention the Bomb-burst PR!
Spikeytigertron
Not sure if it’s news or where to submit. But weren’t these just revealed? Found in San Jose Target View attachment 29815375View attachment 29815377

Skycutter

I think Under-3 will be part of an exclusive capsule lineup. Maybe in the same Walmart line with G2 Grimlock.
