Legacy RID Tow-Line First Look & Image Gallery

Girl Pants

My TRU finally got the guy in and I have to say that I love the colors even more now that I've seen them in person.

I was playing around with mine to see how I can rearrange the parts to differentiate him from Scraphook and Axelgrease when I noticed on the official photos that they put the exhausts between the chest and arms (as a bit of a homage to where the roughly end up on the original toy). Only problem is… the pegs on the exhausts are too short to really get into those recessed sockets well and give enough friction to hold it all in. For what it's worth, it's too loose on Scraphook and Axelgrease to hold for anything more than a super-careful photo either.

Anyone else have any luck with this?

Sorry if this has been discussed to death already, I looked through the thread briefly but it's mostly Hoist digibashes lol

Didn't work

I've tried the same thing with no success.

What I normally do now is put the exhausts on the top port on each shoulder.

I also use the exhausts on my Scraphook as wings on his back, so my configuration for him is already a little different.

I bought three of this guy. He's on my Junkion shelf.

I'm just curious. Did they send out an email about him? I am a Premium member but don't recall ever seeing him in an email.

Yes and no. They sent an email on July 18 for the Walmart collector con stuff which had a note that more TF stuff would go up at 1pm ET, which turned out to be Tow-Line

Did this guy ever go up for order on Target.com?

As far as I know, no he hasn't. I guess you just have to hope to find one at a physical store or get one off of eBay, since Pulse sold out before making him available for non-members.

Fingers crossed he's part of Tuesdays stream. He's pretty high on my pickup list right now.

I wouldn’t be suprised if he was.

I get the vibe that this is colour pallet experiment for what they want to use on the next constructicons set. The green and purple just give me the hope, just hoping the designs can be the best devastator we could ever get. And please make mixmaster with a better truck mode!

If you’re talking about experimenting with the Constructicons, I want a Devastator in Diaclone colors or the orange one from G2, since neither of those have gotten Generations toys before.

Jt already said he made it to port, so probably soon.

Cool, hopefully they at least reveal him soon.

When is he releasing?

Wish he was more \'constructicons\' colored and less Scooby Doo/Mystery Machine colored

But then it wouldn’t be RiD’01 Tow-Line.

And don’t we have enough green and purple Constructicon homages around?
