Via Reddit user u/n_piece we have our first set of in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers Legacy: Evolution War Dawn Dion & Erial 2-Pack.
This pack consists of Dion and Ariel Erial which are retools and redecos of the Legacy Prime Universe Arcee/G2 Roadrocket and Studio Series 86 Kup respectively. We are sure many fans will be pleased with these new figures.
See the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Shockwave has not had a battle damage-free release, unless you’re counting Galactic Man. Siege Shocky’s damage is negligible enough to ignore, but it’s definitely there. The question is if the greebly Siege mold would even look any good in animation colors. I kinda doubt it.

At first I thought it’s an easy swap, as the ball joints don’t seem that different in size. Turns out it requires a bit of exacto and sanding

It is the ss86 head (earthrise doesn’t have the pink face) unfortunately it needs quite a bit of sanding, the legacy joint is nearly 1mm bigger than the ss86/t30 joint
I don’t really know the fitment for the earthrise head as unfortunately I don’t own that mold
Purple Heart
Aw man. How easy is the swap?
Robogeek28
How well does that fit?
Also, I assume it's Earthrise Arcee's head?
Jacliffh
I knew I was going to do this…

And I think she looks pretty good!

Finally got to open mine that arrived yesterday. So far it looks like I may be one of the few that lucked out with Dion. Arms and legs are for the most parts snug and even holding it upside down by a leg or an arm it won't fall off. Honestly the joins themselves are actually pretty tight.
While it is a bit wider than I'd like it doesn't really look that bad in hand than it does in pictures.

Ok….
I just think it would make more sense to just do Onyx Prime as Onyx Prime.
Along with the rest of the 13.
Then dip into versions like ShockNyx.

Thankfully they don't need your permission to do it.

Egads. No.
Worst decision IDW made.
I still hate it.

I want an IDW accurate Onyx Prime. I'm disappointed Shockwave lost the poll because that was probably our best shot at one.

They hinted at what was next during the official reveal, though honestly no clue if they were hinting at the IDW version, accurate versions of Soundwave, Shockwave or Mega or the Arielbots.

Shockwave csn go bright purple and maybe add a Guardian robot head.
RodimusRex
I think Soundwave and Shockwave were already done. Both have had "no battle damage" Cybertronian modes.

The next War Dawn release? Those transport drones? Another troop builder set? Golden Age Megs? Soundwave and Shockwave in Golden Age color?
Oniconvoy
Well, that orgy didn’t end well for anyone
It really does. Much better. Still my least favorite of these War Dawn releases.

I will admit that Ariel is my favorite use of this mold yet. And I never had issue with her face. Dion's arms sucked out of the box on my copy, though.
IgnikaMarcus
Pretty much the same for me.
