Transformers Legacy: Evolution Core Class Swoop & Scarr In-Hand Images

I really hope we see more Core Class Combiners after Volcanicus and Dino King. I think an SS86 Core Class Devastator would work well and be fun.

All I found was a pair of Starscreams  

But Target has 2 spots for cores now: the regular aisle and the ROTF endcap, so I think we'll be seeing this wave out in abundance

So Swoop can *snicker* GIVE HIM A HAND?

I think the weapon split was exclusively so he could have his dino mode weapons / look more accurate in dino mode.

Well, of course. I'm just saying this could've been a planned double-feature. It would make sense if Snarl comes and has one weapon along with the rest minus Sludge. Why make him a weapon when he can share one of Swoop's?

I think the weapon split was exclusively so he could have his dino mode weapons / look more accurate in dino mode.

What i'm curious about is what Snarl is going to do… is he going to be just another big chunky leg, or will he have removable parts to make somewhat articulated feet for the combo mode…

I would very much doubt he has budget enough to get two feet for the combined mode. Hopefully they’re saving that for the Dinoking release.

So, after getting Scarr and Swoop in-hand, I'm thinking that it was planned all along for Swoop to have a weapon that splits, not just for his dino mode, but I think a spare so Sludge has a weapon as well.

Once Snarl comes out, I'm betting he'll have a single weapon, as well, and they'll all have a weapon. I can't imagine Sludge will be the only one without a weapon when it's all said and done.

If they did plan it this way, it's cheap, easy, and smart. They get to make an affordable set and we still get a complete team. Win/win in my book.

Do you think there should be a Leader Class Scarr at some point?

Maybe not studio series 86, maybe in the Legacy line after?

Maybe?
Personally, I'd say voyager, because then you can use it for 2 more uses reasonably. I think an extra leader with no story would have a hard time, but make him voyager, and then you could retool him into
A. The bw character who was also an anky
B. A repaint as the conceptual aoe ankylo dinobot

Like, I like the idea of an extra dinobot, but I hesitate to say leader because he might just not be popular enough. A voyager wouldn't look too out of place ak9ngst the dinobots, and you could do 2 repaints more comfortably

About to order SG Grimlock. Didn’t realize it was coming in stock this soon

I got this guy for £19 complete (inc post/tax) from Ali Express:

The individual bots are basically Core Class size, but just feel a million times better than the Core dinos (which were the reason I got this KO Devastator in the first place, as I thought they'd match up well in terms of scale). He's got a few issues here and there, sure, but for a third of the total price, he's significantly better than I anticipate the finished Volcanicus to be.

But it does show that it should be – and is – entirely possible to do a good combiner at that scale with some thought behind it.

How’d you attach that cape to Tarn? Looks unique!

I'm actually considering getting the core class Dinobots now. At first I was going to because they were out of scale. I can get Swoop, Scarr, Sludge and Slug at CMDstore no problem. But there is the matter of finding Grimlock. Most stores that have him in stock are sold out.

If you use Amazon.com instead of .ca you can ship a core Grimlock to Canada for under $30. (Shipping might differ depending where in Canada)
