Oh my my my these bad boys are coming atchya and the autobots are gonna be in a world of pain. Welcome a powerful double targetmaster whose thunderous blast shakes the earth, Legacy United Quake has come to drop some tiptop heat 🔥!
.
My homey Tomo san from Takara has just been knocking it out the park with these earth shattering partials! He led the way on this dude and I played a little catch up when it came to my lil target master darlings😹!
.
Its wild how these colors come off so bright in photos but in hand the deep saturated tones melt your heart. His face sculpt really sings up close and the details on the new molded Target Masters make this guy a must have. He has multiple blast compatible weapons and movable gun barrel turret.
.
Being based off of skullgrin makes this dude the perfect size to complete his target master gang! More reveals tomorrow, Im already exhausted after one day! 😅

Transformers Legacy Slipstream Behind the Scenes https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-slipstream-behind-the-scenes/ Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:08:20 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11737 That was fast. Legacy United Slipstream was just revealed and already we have the usual look behind the scenes. This is the best marketing. Check it out.


For todays reveal, I wanted to make sure you got to see the final product photos with our awesome Legacy United background. But nowwwww, I couldn’t wait to get some shots of her myself, even if the colors are not final. I wanted to make sure to show off all the positions for the null ray blasters, a decepticon seeker must! 😎
.
So please, do yourself a favor and scan through all the photos. I saw most of you were looking for a voyager scale to be equal with Starscream and I have noted that to the team. But, BUT, this cyberverse styled Slipstream hits hard in hand. If nothing else the colors, the colors, ohhhh the glorious tones of color, what a symphony to the 👀 here! I actually dig the petite scale difference with ol SS.
.
If there is somthing I learned here on @instagram is its the fandom for Transformers is not only a lovable passionate group, but everyone is extremely opinionated! 🤣 Its near impossible to satisfy everyones wants and needs, you can only go with your gut instinct in the end and 🤞🏻hope everyone sees what you were at least trying to accomplish!
.
Big shouts out to Koki san over in Takara Tomy who worked on this glorious tool! The articulation and transformation is solid, and please take a good look at her backside cause its looking just as good as the front! That super sonic cybertronian influenced jet design tho, it just screams hypersonic speeds beating all sorts of astrocycle tests!
.
You can see the main differences in final product will be the teal color is metallic in the final product but its NOT metallic here. Also, the canopy is tinted teal in final product but NOT here, it is clear, so for final product, AGAIN, metallic teal and teal tinted cockpit!
.
Quake next!

Transformers Legacy United Slipstream and Quake Revealed https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-united-slipstream-and-quake-revealed/ Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:02:49 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11715 Today, Transformers designer Mark Maher revealed Transformers Legacy United Slipstream and Quake. Notably, Quake is not a reissue of the Titans Return toy, but an extensive remold of Legacy Skullgrin. Check it out.

 


Legacy United Slipstream is here to bless your collection and make all the other seekers jealous! 😊
.
I mean after all, Legacy has welcomed alot of females to the fray, why not a female Decepticon seeker jet! These pics show just how amazing the colors came out, the metallic teal would make anyone 🤤. Toss in some Decepticon (light & dark) purple,black, and the same purple metallic that was used on Chromia to get a wicked fresh color scheme thats one of the major highlights to this cool character.
.
New head, new blasters, and an all new attitude! I used og Starscream’s head sculpt as a go by to create the sculpt for the head, but I did add the ears to make it a lil more unique. I will post some more pictures but my sample does not have the final colors, and these final colors featured in these photos are 🔥 !
.
Other noteworthy deets about this mold, the teal tinted cockpit allows you to see the actual pilot and co pilot seats inside that were sculpted skillfully. The new blasters can be welded in multiple locations and do have a blast compatible tip on them. The fan wing thrusters still have the articulated festure to them just like her enemy Windblade. Just super excited to finally get my hands on this character!
.
I will post more later today but please enjoy this 💎! Reminder that Pre Orders for this gal are this Thursday at 1 pm et!

Introducing Legacy United Quake accompanied by his Target Masters Tiptop and Heater!
.
I’m very glad we could finally complete the Decepticon double target master trio collection. I’ll post more in hand shots of this guy later today so you can really get a sense of how this guy fits in with the rest!
.
He was a partial which was challenging due to having the target masters fit in the plan. But I felt they were a must have as somtimes in the past we weren’t able to find a way to fit them in. I really love the robot design attributes of the target master dudes, it was also challenging trying to figure out how to get these guys in there right color deco’s.
.
The deets for this bad boy are as follows: utilizing the Skullgrin mold foe the partial which really gave him the size he needed to fit alongside Needlenose and Spinister. He has multiple different attachement places for the blast effect compatible target masters. His blast effect compatible turret can swivel with articulation upwards for the cannon. Colors and look are accurate to his character persona. His tank is more of a Sherman speeder tank with attributes of the abrams, mostly details.
.
More coming so hang tight and enjoy the week of reveals!

Transformers Legacy United Cybertron Hot Shot Behind the Scenes https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-united-cybertron-hot-shot-behind-the-scenes/ Fri, 03 May 2024 23:52:41 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11566 Our wallets are in danger! Mark Maher is showing off a behind the scenes look at another Cybertron update, and it looks like another home run. Take a look at Legacy United Cybertron Hot Shot!


Our worlds are in DANGER! Please collect another cyber planet key to keep them from the decepticons to be used for evil! It is our mission!! Welcome another Cybertron star cast member, Deluxe Hotshot is ready to grace your collection!
.
The amazing Tomo san from Takara Tomy has done an amazing job with this figure. His dedication and passion for Transformers toys really shines through for this figure. Please check out his project kickoff art! You will also be able to check out what I had the privilege to contribute to this sweet figure!
.
I also tried to showcase all the cyber planet keys that we have released thus far. What a treat to pay homage to a great series, the characters are epic and the toys were too! Alot to live up to but to welcome all these characters to enter in the same universe is just such a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary!
.
It somtimes feels like we are moving at velocitron type speeds developing these figures. There’s just so much to do and so many things all at once, multiple figures at all different scales at different stages of development , different programs, and different age targets for products. I have no idea how we all do it honestly.
.
BUT, there is so many damned exciting things happening right for Transformers. I really hope the good vibes keep going, Legacy United has even more 💎’s to drop so stay tuned!

Transformers Legacy United Vector Prime Behind the Scenes https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-united-vector-prime-behind-the-scenes/ Mon, 29 Apr 2024 17:24:35 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11538 We have another look behind the scenes. This time designer Mark Maher is showing off Transformers Legacy United Vector Prime, another update from Transformers Cybertron.


Behold, the guardian of space and time, Legacy United Cybertron Voyager Vector Prime! A perfect time for one of the 13 primes to intervene in what has seemed like, pure interdimensional multiverse insanity.
.
Working with Yuya san is always a great honor, dude is so talented it leaves me in awe. Also, shout out to Aaron Archer, Eric Siebenaler, and Kunihiro san for being involved in the first creation of such an awesome character.
.
As my good friend Monzo Matt put it “He’s old, he’s letting his wires hang out”😂! Partials are always very challenging, but I am pretty stoked as to how this guy turned out. He has his cyber planet key and his rhisling sword casted in translucent teal metallic that really shimmers in hand. I dialed in the grey tone to be darker then the og toy as in the show it seems spot on now. The metallic teals and gold and deep raspberry metallic make this color scheme out of this world.
.
I also share an image of alot of the sculpt details and deco hits were made to match as best as possible to the animated series. You can see me throwing together the original vision of the partial molding utilizing comic illustrations.
.
Do the Legacy time portals finally come to an end? What say you!? There’s still time ⏳ for the final showdown, or is there? Arghhh 🫨😵‍💫
.
“I finally understand the true value of time, for it is the bonds between us that give time its meaning.”

Legacy United Prime Cliffjumper Behind the Scenes https://www.allspark.com/legacy-united-prime-cliffjumper-behind-the-scenes/ Fri, 19 Apr 2024 03:01:46 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11474
The behind the scenes showcase continues. Tonight designer Mark Maher is presenting Legacy United Cliffjumper, another addition from the Transformers Prime universe.


You want the horns? You got um! Prime Cliffjumper is ready to tear up some decepticreeps in your collection. Right now, I could use some back up, and my main man Cliff would be ready and willing to answer that call.
.
When I worked with Kunihiro san on Rescue Bot Chase, I wanted to make sure we planned somthing special for Cliffjumper. Anytime your going to use a mold for another popular character, its a challenge to find the line between what really completes the character. Thankfully Kunihiro san is a wizard and made several different part changes in the original molds to swap some details out, which as you can see in the pics, really makes this character come to life.
.
Another challenge is the face sculpt of the prime characters in the legacy styling. Everything to finely tune in the details while working on a massive amount of product at all different stages of development is sort of a juggling act. Once this guy got hit with the deco colors it all came together for me. Super pleased he has the tough attitude he had in the show.
.
Now in my current multiverse ol Cliff here isn’t being cut down so easily. He is ready to take down as many Cyberverse Tarns as needed for the Autobot cause. I am hoping for those who can, grab 2 to fully emulate his triple barreled blasters he had in the show. Luckily I work here so I grabbed an extra set 🤣
.
I hope yall watched the new TF ONE trailer, lots of fun going on with Transformers right now. But please tell me, who wants a dark energon zombie version of this dude!

Transformers Legacy United Squeezeplay Behind the Scenes https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-united-squeezeplay-behind-the-scenes/ Wed, 17 Apr 2024 19:14:21 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11451 We have another look behind the scenes. This time designer Mark Maher is showing off Transformers Legacy United Squeezeplay.


Mastaaaaahhhhhfoorrcceee! Cancer aka Squeezeplay is ready to transtectorize your collection.😅 Lets get into this glorious headmaster deluxe figure shall we!
.
I kicked this king cobra crabbed maniac off with the great Hasui san and he was like, grotesque partial 🤣, how about Mindwipe 🤯!! Hasui san has just been on an epic tear of pure excellence for figure development! So I just climbed into the backseat on this one and let the master work his force magic.
.
As you can see I just couldn’t break out my Fangry thats minty fresh in the 4 pack. That was a special item for me and I just couldnt break the seal. This karate krab killah looks spectacular alongside some characters from the Masterforce show that we luckily got to make in Legacy.
.
Its been a wild ride folks, I really can’t believe I’ve been able to get characters like these put out there to all you fans. Even if you havent seen the japanese animations, this guy places in seamlessly with all the other monstercons. The browning pistol, the colors, the new parts on the headmaster Lokos, the sculpt, the pure fun is non stop. I really got carried away on this shoot, the monster mode is actually hard to put down.
.
Oh, I still have to get into 2 more figures in this pack! 😣 doh! Coming soon, more cool stuffs!!! 🫡
