Gonna do a lil' mini review for some of the bots I got recently, so here goes...
First off, Velocitron Scourge. Very, very, very nice figure, I love his colours, his lightpiping is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and hes an overall solid figure!
My only niggle is his gas tanks, which flip out from his thighs. After siege optimus' leg transformation, earthrise, kingdom, and legacies primes have fallen short in my opinion.
Trailer is decent, not much interest in that, but his sword and axe are cool.
8/10
Next up, we got Legacy Tarantulas. A cool, creepy dude, who looks absolutely epic. I love his colours, and his transformation is chef's kiss.
It might just be me, but i also feel like his head is just sliiiiiightly too big, in comparison with the other beast deluxes.
Love his grapple gun, and his pizza slicer, which is a nice reference to his transmetal form
9/10
Number three, SS86 Sludge. Hes a big boi. A very big boi. Quite possibly the biggest boi. And hes amazing! Transformation is brilliant, pretty much nowhere near what i initially expected, with so many clever little bits, hes just a joy to have, and he looks very good next to my grimlock (still need Sla... Slug. Heh. )
Hes got a big blaster that looks pretty good, but i have no idea what his gun is supposed to look like, so i dont know how accurate it is.
9/10
Velocitron Override/Nitro Convoy next. Shes ace. Ive watched the unicron trilogy once when i was younger and dont remember much, only that everyone says its terrible, which im choosing to ignore. However, i absolutely love the designs, and override is a shining example of how good they are. I love her epic shins, her head aculpt is noice, and i love the new design of her gun, and that it can hold one of the old cyber planet keys!
I do worry about her translucent red chest and the hinge its on, but theres been no signs of stress yet.
10/10
Heres the problem child though... Buzzworthy Terrorsaur... Honestly, I ordered him on a whim, and then immediately regretted it, and found out that you can't cancel an order on pulse unless you contact customer service, who got back to me after it had been dispatched and couldnt do anything. I decided to keep him, because the golden disk one costs more than I'm worth. Objectively, a very cool toy. Brilliant colours, nice mould, all that. The problem is that he's not MY terrorsaur, if you get what I mean. I never had the original toy, my only experience with him is the show, who had a completely different colour scheme. However, hes growing on me.
Also, his ankle vall joints are quite loose.
6/10
Most recent acquisition, today actually, is Legacy Blitzwing. Very mixed bag honestly, i love his bot mode, it looks brilliant, but the other two are slightly lacking.
Out of his alt modes, the tank is easily better. Thick, chonky, and bigg. Very nice. Only complaint is the cockpit on the front, which i feel couldve been covered up with some panels flipping in off the shoulders.
But the jet... Ehhhhhh... It wouldve been so much better with ough the sides of the tank just hanging off the underside. But as usual, one of the modes of a triple changer has to take the fall, and the jet mode was it. At least it wasnt the whole figure, like the t30 version!
Guns are cool, so is the sword, and i couldnt care less about the big hands. They went into the parts draw immediately.
7/10
I saved the best til last, Velocitron Cosmos. I love him. So much. Hes my chonky lil man. I love the colours proportions, headsculpt, even his lil flag and gun are brilliant. Hes definitely worth the arm and leg i paid for him, and i would do it again. Was it a bit much? Yes. Am i happy with my purchase? Hell to the yes.
His UFO/landmine/doorbell/boob mode is brilliant too, the gaps bother me nowhere near as much as i thought they would, and i love how the head flips into his chest, rather than messing about trying to pull the head from a tiny hole.
10000000000/10
Well, those are some of the bots I've bought recently, I'll probably post a full shelves pic soon, but theyre all messy at the moment, because when i mess with them, i dont always put them back in their pose.
Should be getting elita 1 next week, and I have all of wave 3 preordered (bar bombburst/blood) and flamewar too, so I'll post shots of them when they arrive.
Conkerfrog, out.

Cracked open Buzzworthy Legacy Terrorsaur last night.
He's certainly bigger than his predecessor.
Surprising that the other well-known pterodactyl Transformer has a more palatable colour scheme despite being over 50% gunmetal grey.
Remember during the early episodes of Beast Wars whenever these two showed up, there were a threat? Boy, did that change quickly!🤣
Side note: while the new Terrorsaur's gun wasn't compatible with Siege effect parts, his classic version most certainly is!😁
Isn't that cute? He thinks he's gangsta.
Jokes aside, while Buzzworthy Terrorsaur isn't accurate to his Beast Wars cartoon incarnation, he's still an enjoyable figure to mess with.
