Possible Legacy Voyager Twincast And Metalhawk Incoming?
 
https://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/...talhawk-01.jpg

Attention Legacy collectors! Sponsor site Bigbadtoystore have just updated listings for two new possible*Legacy Voyager Twincast And Metalhawk figures. While we still have no images yet, we had reported the product numbers for Legacy Twincast and Metalhawk last year. Twincast is likely to be a redeco of Blaster while Metalhawk may be a new mold. In any case, could this be part of the*Transformers Fanstream this January 31st?. Time will tell. Interested in these new G1 Japan characters for your collection? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Hopefully Metalhawk will be a true Pretender!

In for both

Wonder which tape Twincast will come with? JK, it’ll be Rewind so they don’t have to hammer out a single new sprue while copy-pasting this

I hope Metalhawk rules, I couldn’t get into the Botcon face (you know the one)

It would be fun but weird if they change midstream. Imo if he was, he would be leader to do a shell and a full inner robot. Would be be a pretool/retool of Thunderwing?

I'm sure it hasn't been that long but it feels like ages since we've had a big new dump of pictures and teases!

Not a chance. It is VERY expensive to cast a hollow shell that, essentially, doesn't really do anything. It was an awful business idea in the 80/90s and awful now, economically speaking. Trying to do so pretty much sunk Fansproject. Look no further than Coronation Starscream or Deathsaurus as examples. In those cases, it is a chair, but same idea and it added significant cost and significant retail markup. Why? Because hollow molds like that are large and take up a butt ton of room on a metal mold plate. As a fan, it would be great, as a realistic business person, it doesn't make economic sense, unfortunately.

There is plenty of rumors in the works ahead of Tuesday's stream. I coved a butt ton last night on the live show. Tuesday should give you a decent fix, I would think.

I'm guessing Metalhawk is a retool of either Legacy Bomb Burst or Jhiaxus.

WTF are you talking about. There are single pieces on Titan class figures that are bigger than how shell halves would be. lol

Fit a core class or a small deluxe inside a normal-sized G1-ish shell and call it a day.
