The flow of official reveals continues! Hasbro designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher has updated his Instagram account with images of the new Transformers Legacy Voyager Animated Motormaster.
This is a nice redeco with a new head of the Legacy United Animated Optimus Prime, inspired by the Botcon 2011 Animated Motormaster toy. Stay tuned with this space for more updates, since a new Legacy Leader class toy will also be revealed today.
See the images and Mark’s comments after the jump! Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
Finally, the Motormaster is back in Legacy, cannn youuuu smelllllll what the Markclonus is…cookin!
Your darn tootin, when the biceps are flexing dont come a steppin to this beefed up maniac! The animated series was such a fun trip and such an exaggerated style the team could not resist in doing this redeco.
Lets break it down to ya mean jean thw headsculpt was very challenging to get correct but also have it fit in transformation. I believe there is a good balance in features on the face sculpt compared to the original Derrick Wyatt sketch. I put up the Legacy Motormaster in comparison just to see how they size up in terms of style, a very cool look for one of my favorite bots.
The colors are just pile driving your optics, the deep purple with the hits of Marty Janetty pants green are glorious! I had to pull the light grey purple tone in to more of a grey tone, the first engineering pilot color was really off putting but I do feel the greyish tone balances the other colors. I gotta say though, out of the 5 pantone books I use there wasnt really a solid tone to match perfectly.
The match up against ol animated OP here should be a ladder match with the matrix of leadership dangling. I’d pay per view that match in a heartbeat!
One more today, and the next is a Leader!!!
