ROTF Legend Wave 1 Review - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

ROTF Legend Bumblebee is an all new mold for the second movie with the 2010 Camaro as an alt mode. The head has good paint apps and some nice detail. The waist and leg kibble is subtle and adds to the look. Limited pose ability as with most legends class figures, but will no doubt be ever kids favorite.

ROTF Legend Springer is new to the movie line, but is known to all (I hope!) as a classic G1 character. Of course the original was a triple changer. This time around we will have to settle for a single alt mode which is a twin prop airplane, possibly a VTOL craft. Great paint apps in plane mode and robot mode. A simple yet fun transformation with the prop blades becoming ?weapons? on his wrists. Great little hands as well. Definitely recommend him.

ROTF Legend Optimus Prime is another new mold that is a significant improvement from the first movie. He bulkier and looks more like movie Prime. The paint apps are good and the fit in his alt mode semi truck is awesome. He is also able to combine with ROTF legend Jetfire.

ROTF Legend Jetfire is a new in movie character; most of us should know him from G1 as well. Now the SR-71 has been a favorite plane of mine since I heard of it. Jetfire is also one on my favorite TFs. I can only imagine that the two combined will only be super awesome! We will see. The alt mode looks good and the robot mode seems quite true to the movie character of an old bot. He also was the only one of the four reviewed that was packaged as a Decepticon. And he does have a slightly scratched con logo in jet mode. Jetfire can combine with ROTF Legend Prime.

The combine mode of Jetfire and Prime is quite simple. This mode is not mentioned in either of the bots instructions. It?s fairly simple, uhh? insert Jetfire?s tab into Primes slot. You will figure it out. The look is pretty cool and they will stand up on their own. Great design and execution. And until some Premium Leaders hit the shelves I will be very happy with this combiner.

I hate my legends prime! If I even look at him his left arm falls off. I really am going to have to exchange him for a new one.

Jetfire is great I love him, that ol' crotchety bastard! LOL **Edit** I looked my mine and he has a scratched logo too.

As for the other I didn't see them.

p.s. Nice review & pictures

I picked up Prime and Jetfire last week and I must say they are awesome little dudes. The combination is pretty meh, but the figures on their own are really fun.

in all honestly, I just can't see how these legends figures are awesome. Yes for sure they are small, but really inacurrate. So if you guys could somehow presuade me how these guys are awesome, I'll be glad. I only have 1 Legends figure. G1 Wheelie., now HE is awesome.

Between these and the Japanese Devastator figures I may just become a legends man

Unlike Minicons, they're kickass and they portray characters we actually care for.
