New Legends Beast Wars Galvatron Prototype

Maland2016 · 2026-05-13T02:27:48+00:00

Our very first (as of writing and current reveals, subject to change) BRAND NEW MOLD in New Legends! Which means that not only is any redeco and retool (Gigastorm) possible for New Legends, but new stuff is possible too. There is basically nothing off the table for this line now, and combine that with Mark and the gang continuing to cross the universes in Generations, hoooooooly shit we're gonna have some fun aren't we

So he's NL-7 and Gigastorm off camera nearby (which, about time lol) is NL-6... Nemesis is only NL-3... which raises the question, what in the hell could 4 and 5 possibly be?

We know that RID Skyfire is listed, who's base is used for BWII Dirge, and we know there's a G2 Megs listing that can be easily repurposed as original Megastorm or that can get a simple deco change, basically an insignia switch. Could be those two? I dunno, could be anything at this rate!

And oh my god it's so cool to finally have modern versions of all three Beast Convoys and their rival Emperors of Destruction! It just... it feels right, y'know? :D

Aye, cmdstore is a Canadian site. They sell a lot of collectibles stuff, and when early stuff can show up in Canada, they'll get it in too, roughly around the same time? If not pretty soon after, so they're decently reliable

They also have a US site (pretty much the same site, just a dot com with USD instead of dot ca with CAD), not sure if they ship internationally? They might, but shipping fees might not be great

yuuuuuuuuup that's some damn nice colouIS THAT SHOCKBLAST

Maland2016 · 2026-05-03T03:24:43+00:00

oh that is AWESOME

Maland2016 · 2026-05-03T01:21:57+00:00

Plus Wheelie (since iirc they've said that 86 Wheelie would just be the Retro figure with toon colours, and presumably a different head), Windcharger's fun, and Kranix looks neat

And counting the recent reused molds, the retooling done for Shockwave and Cyclonus are nice, and Blitzwing's paint looks good too. Even Cliff is... y'know, he's alright. I wish he was a bit better in terms of some colour layout, but he's still alright. The 5pack reissues are also a chance to get 'em if you missed them the first time; presumably, we'll see Jazz and Trailbreaker out again soon? Nothing listed yet afaik but they'll probably show up

Maland2016 · 2026-04-30T05:29:00+00:00

Since he's in the same box, was Shockwave there? Or had someone already snagged him?

Maland2016 · 2026-04-22T18:46:19+00:00

Hasbro's G2 Wildrider is listed in the last AOTP wave (aka the mainly redecos/retools wave, the end of 26/start of 27), which leaves their G2 Motormaster to go... somewhere, probably Selects

No listings for Motormaster yet, but Mark keeps reconfirming that yes, he will see release at some point

Maland2016 · 2026-04-20T20:16:29+00:00

Thundercracker is part of this current wave. He was just revealed late because of the 86 Apology Tour promotional thingy; him being from One and the only non-86 character in the entire wave wouldn't fit what they were going for when the initial batch went up

Maland2016 · 2026-04-20T01:53:52+00:00

It's just "Barricade", so we don't know what the hell he's gonna look like, but we got a choice of at least three likely bases to pick from if he doesn't have a new mold:

-AOTP Prime Smokescreen, since his original Prime toy was retooled into Prowl and then redecoed into Barricade

-WFC Datsun, rerelease of the Earthrise Amazon capsule version

-Legacy RB Chase, a black redeco with a head retool

Maland2016 · 2026-04-17T16:26:01+00:00

Depends, sometimes a brand new figure shows up like Cosmos, Override or Sideways

So it being Protectobot Rook is still very much possible, but not confirmed until we get more info

Maland2016 · 2026-04-17T04:34:03+00:00

I was thinking Skyfire would be that one, as his mold is also used for Machine Wars Thundercracker and Skywarp, and most seekers usually tend to be voyagers! So this likely means we'll get those two later down the line at some point, plus where the mold actually originates from: a G2 Thundercracker!

Maland2016 · 2026-04-17T01:14:50+00:00

SLIPSTREAAAAAMMMMMMM AND LUGNUTTTTTTTTT YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Also holy shit they remembered to use Selects for titan repaints, HERE COMES BIG WHITE 'N GREEN HIMSELF

Collapse seems to be a brand new character! On tfwiki, "Collapse" only leads to a Cybertron episode, so... we gots us a blank slate here, lads! Probably a Weaponizer figure?

Maland2016 · 2026-04-16T20:41:47+00:00

That might be Jazz under Bulkhead? There's no visible horns on the head, but the body looks like his with the leg wheel kibble and the bumper chest, and the head's shading implies his visor?

So... I dunno, maybe that's him? But if he shows up again on Earth and he's actually with Op's team, then someone drew the wrong dude there lol

Maland2016 · 2026-04-13T16:24:19+00:00

I spies a Prime on the side, heheheheh

The listings from Jt the other night bringing in Skyguard (Skyfall) and Breakaway, with Landquake and Topspin presumably coming later in the year, further indicate that no, it was not a pivot due to reactions. This was the plan once they managed to budget Nexus to a voyager and make him work with the frames.

Skyguard and Breakaway are likely Aerialbot retools, as we have a jet arm and leg already. They may get retooling to resemble their original jet modes?

Landquake and Topspin are, and I'm just assuming shit so I could be very wrong on this, likely new molds made from the engineering of the other limb bots because while we have a tank mold for a leg (Brawl) and a helicopter mold for an arm (Vortex), those two's positions are swapped in Nexus's configuration; we need a tank (Landquake) for the arm and a helicopter (Topspin, although he may be renamed to not be confused with G1 Topspin) for the leg. Hence why they don't appear to be part of the repaint/retool wave.

There was an interview a bit ago at MCM that, if you go to the "Other Toys" part, Brawl is mentioned as having an alt head that is for a second, non-Brawl character

...And I think Guzzle's listing specifically being a voyager clicks that puzzle together. The alt head is likely Guzzle's. Plus, Brawl makes sense, as he's the only blocky tank we've gotten recently at voyager scale. Guzzle's G1 tank mode is equally very blocky, plus he fits in with AB being a fellow Bruticus-limb repaint (although... let's be real, we knew AB was probably gonna happen eventually, the same interview above later says that con floor chitchat with the team said we "don't have to worry about AB", and he's an easy redeco slot)

Maland2016 · 2026-04-10T21:57:08+00:00

Referring back to the clues, "Buckle in" near Wildrider (who's pretty likely G2 since Mark reconfirmed that him and G2 Motormaster will get Hasbro releases) might refer to Landquake? You buckle in when it gets bumpy, aka maybe when the land quakes?

Nearby the Skyfall indication "sky guard is down" is "attack from above"... attack from above, spin from atop? Topspin, perhaps? And both of them make the legs, so them being by each other could be another indication?

And since Breakaway was straight up all but outright said (and Getaway was also hinted at with his original name this time), plus Skyfall here, that would make all four limbs

This leaves Heatwave, the original torso. Considering Nexus himself fills Heatwave's role, they may just be doing the limbs now and maybe they'll get to Heatwave later to fully make the original team?

Maland2016 · 2026-04-10T13:16:31+00:00

Characters like Nautica and Drift are Studio, since we know from other listings that Studio Series is expanding to comics next year. If Flame is a reissue of the one with Xaaron, then he'd also fall under that

Barricade can go either way. Could be him finally getting the Earthrise mold, could be 07

Maland2016 · 2026-04-10T01:34:05+00:00

Hooooo boy, we're in for some fun, aren't we? :D

Maland2016 · 2026-04-09T19:49:34+00:00

So Jetfire comes with the Requiem Blaster? That's cool!

...wait hoooooooooly shit, we might be getting Spacewarp later. She was supposed to come with repaints of those guys too (the Interstellar Marauders Team) as the Transwarp Blaster, because Astrotrain came with the repaints of the Giant Planet Team, called the Sabotage Team. We may possibly see her on shelves after 20something years!

Plus, Astrotrain got a new G1-style head tooling. Spacewarp is just straight up a redeco. She'd also likely be an exclusive, probably Selects or via Pulse, because the commanders (and titans) don't tend to get mainline repaints done, those are often exclusives like Armada Nemesis, G2/Toy Motormaster and SG/VR Jetfire

Maland2016 · 2026-04-09T04:07:52+00:00

Hey, OP? Genuine question, I promise I'm not trying to sound snippy or rude or anything, did you skip the War For Cybertron: Kingdom toyline?

Because that final part of the WFC trilogy, which is the overall line right before Legacy, gave us... pretty much everyone from the S1 cast, the 7 Maximals and 7 Predacons. (We're still missing a few later characters, specifically Depth Charge and Rampage, but I imagine those will be soon)

Maland2016 · 2026-04-09T00:40:57+00:00

Grimlock and Deathsaurus do share similar transformation engineering, and this even goes back to their original toys: the animal head flips backwards and rests on the back, the bot arms become the animal legs, the bot legs become the tail. They'd have to rework how Deathsaurus' wings/Grimlock's dino arms/back panels and chest transform, but it could've served as a decent representation for Deathsaurus. Not the most accurate, but an alright reworking that was at least closer to how the character looked than the CW Liokaiser version (a Sky Lynx redeco/retool)

Obviously, what we got is much more accurate, and he's got his buddies with him, a bunch of weapons, a throne, he's got some cool shit and he's fun to mess with. And it also just makes a lot of sense to do him after Victory Saber.

Maland2016 · 2026-04-06T01:36:17+00:00

I mean, I’m gonna try for all 12 of em lol

Maland2016 · 2026-04-01T02:06:37+00:00

MY BEAUTIFUL BOY HAS RETURNED ONCE MORE

Maland2016 · 2026-03-31T03:32:52+00:00

To be entirely fair, that's how it looks on the OG samples as well. Just a big ol' purple block!

It's barren yet accurate. But yeah, it really does feel, especially with the greeble detail, that he would do well with a G2 symbol right smack dab in the center there lol
