Hasbro Transformers designer Mark Maher has taken to his Instagram to spill the behind the scenes details on the Legacy United Doom ‘n Destruction Collection!
“The Decepticon Doom N’ Destruction is here, ready to beat down all and any Autobot Wreckers who dare to take back the sacred ancient artifact known as Malleus Minotaurus. Which team will get to wield the power of Solus Prime’s blacksmith helper? Or perhaps, Mister Minotaurus’s awakening will unleash the power of the primes and command his own army!
.
So as many of you already know, the mayhem attack squad is a great answer to the Autobot Wreckers crew. Quite the delictable energon consuming crew with the likes of Chopshop and Barrage! But if your looking for firepower and muscle look no further then Windsweeper with his lil target master boys Cleansweep and Ozone, obviously the muscle would be Breakdown.
Solid squad here to cause some real destruction on your collection shelf.
.
I took a stab at designing the logo based off the logo that was featured in the comic book. I even sketched out the hydra esk logo style for the packaging. Clearly I still wanted the decepticon badge to be prevalent on these guys to help complete other collections we’ve started. I put in alot of work alongside my Takara family, but dont get it twisted, Takara works harder and puts in more passion and hours then anybody. Their dedication and skill set are as you know legendary status and they are paladins.
.
There is alot of accessories and value jammed into these 2pks. You know Im a stickler for trying to complete sets, so I promise I will continue to push! My shelfs need that completed squad just as much as yours do coo coo ca choo!”

I wanted a better one in lieu of this one.
If not now then someday.

This one isn't even out yet and you're already wanting a new one?
Currywurst
If people are clamoring for a reissue of Ransack maybe increasing popularity of the Deluxe Insecticons might warrant a Barrage redo as a new mold design someday.
I hope

I would be so mad if this is how they release their original weapons.
Thundershot
Yes and Mark said he’d look into it.
After this set is in the rear view mirror, I could see an eventual four pack of Deluxe Insecticons. But not anytime soon. Hopefully we see the Diaclone Insecticons as an exclusive three pack..
eightshot
Has anyone tried asking anyone at Hasbro if Ransack can get solo reissue?

I think making ransack black and gold (while accurate) really hurt any chances of it not looking like a redeco. The new inspections are different enough color and design wise to not look like their mold mates.

Sanded, primed, painted and clear coated.

Damn those insecticons look so good, they are with the retooling budget. Makes Ransack look poor in comparison, despite being great at the time.
Thundershot
I don’t have one. I only go by what I see online and Shapeways (which sucks)
Yeah, painting is out of the question for me. Everything I’ve tried painting looks terrible. I’d pay to just have it all done right.

If you print out a set and it works I'd be happy to purchase one off you. I have zero access to a 3D printer.

I've never been able to find any pics of it.
But since I've been planning to print this set anyway, so I might as well do it.
I'll print out a set on my filament printer tomorrow and report back.
Vanya
Depends on your printer and settings.
Mine work great, but YMMV.
Thundershot
Yes, these guys look great together and we absolutely need the TRUE leader of the Insecticons to take his rightful place!
Yep. I also got some 3P parts to help make him look different-er.
I would absolutely do that if it was a 3P kit that was polished. Raw 3D printed things and even worse, Shapeways shit,is just not good at all most of the time…
Robogeek28
They're so purdy.
RangerXML
I would suggest if you download it to print it at Shapeways, way more options or even look if the creator uploaded it there already.
AtomicGarden
Thanks ! I don’t think I know anyone that has a 3d printer, but now I know the option is there
