So Metal Hawk is a Cyclonus retool.

And Twincast, which I'm heartily debating if I want this mold a third time just for Rewind: TF livestream is tomorrow, so we'll probably see these officially announced then.

I was going to pass on Twincast as well but Rewind changes things. Besides I have Siege Soundblaster, might as well get his counterpart.
Metalhawk being a Cyclonus remold was a surprise. Cyclonus is a decent mode and it will be interesting to see what the alt mode looks like. It will need to be something special to get me to upgrade because I really like the Titans Return version.

news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/31/transformers-jan-23-livestream-recap-legacy-evolution-wave-2-and-more-474374Stream recap here: So for me, Cheetor, Airrazor, Scourge, and Freezer look good for movie toys. Core Grim for itty bitty Volcanicus/Proto-Dinoking. Crashbar continues the Legacy Junkions being absolutely (trash)fire in the best way. Shrapnel to go with Kickback and an eventual deluxe Bombshell basically guaranteed. Animated Prowl looks good to me but might not be stylized enough for some folks, though I still have my TFA Prowl in storage if I want that aesthetic exactly. Metalhawk is a BIG retool of Cyclonus, looking very nice. Probably gonna get Twincast. Skyquake is excellent and a solid base for future Predator Skyquake or MW Starscream repaints. The art only reveals were interesting and good to hear we're getting Armada Megatron to go up against Commander Armada Prime. Also looking forward to the not-Holiday Volvo Optimus. That mold looked so good but I didn't want a Santa Prime. Gonna see if Devcon is something other than a SS Scourge or Alpha Trion retool. Crosscut is kind of a "I already have the Thrilling 30 Generations one that's less box car". Beachcomber similarly is kinda done for me by the Legends class one from TR. Nice to see re-releases for the Coneheads confirmed for folks who missed them. Or Dirge, at least.

I'm hoping that the continued love for Pretenders means I'll get to have my dope shelf with the full Masterforce crew. Got 2/3 Decepticon Pretenders, c'mon Submarauder and the other Autobots.
And the Headmaster Jrs. Fuckin Minerva is a limited thing, but c'mon man. Do the others!

These 3 for me. I've wanted a Devcon toy since 1985. If they get him close-ish to his cartoon look I'll be very happy. Definitely expecting him to be a Scourge retool again, but it's certainly a good place to start (as this Scourge isn't MEH like the Generations stealth-bomber-thing was). Armada Megatron I always loved the design of, but the figure itself was.. okay. Brickish and the gun placement was weird. Interested in a do-over. Holiday Prime was a terrific mold, probably the best "pure Optimus" (as in no gimics, no super molds, just a truck cab that turns into a robot, tows a trailer base) we've seen in years, but yeesh that color scheme was gaudy. If they do this in proper colors it's an instant buy for me.

Pretty excited for Shrapnel and the upcoming Devcon. Twincast I was going to pass on until Rewind popped up. Also loving Crosscut. The silver looks better on the mold than Skids.
Metalhawk I wanted to like, I really did. And Kingdom Cyclonus is a good mold. But that vehicle mode just didn't thrill me. I think I'll still with TR Metalhawk.
Armada Megatron is going to be a pass. I don't hate him but I have to cut down collecting. I do love UT and I do want some updates (like Tidal Wave) but Armada Megs is low on the priority list. Beachcomber is a wait and see what he looks like. Im pretty happy with POTP Beachcomber.
I do like seeing Hasbro finally listen to fans about the ER Coneheads being hard to get and are doing some reissues. But I hope Hasbro eventually remembers they haven't done ER Sunstorm yet.

I admit it doesn't look too bad. I've seen alot of people say they love it. But to be honest, it doesn't thrill me. I know there was alot of hype for this for years since that prototype was shown and don't get me wrong, Im glad it's happening for those that want it. But I don't know if its the design, the potential cost and needing to cut back my spending, the fact I need to thin out what I already have, or all the above. And sadly Im afraid to post this on TFW or social media without facing a wrath of a

I was never able to come to love the super mode face. For those where Armada was their Transformers, or who just like this design, it'll be nice for them to finally have a version that doesn't suck ass. God that original toy was ruined by that stupid auto-transforming gimmick.
