Toys

[edit]

Legacy

[edit]
  • G2 Universe Laser Cycle (Deluxe Class, 2023)
    • Accessories: 2 Energon blades, front tire/Energon blaster
Legacy: Evolution "G2 Universe Laser Cycle" is a redeco of Legacy G2 Universe Road Rocket, itself a new head retool of the Prime Universe Arcee toy, transforming into a '90s-style sportbike motorcycle. Laser Cycle includes the same Energon blade accessories as Arcee, but with additional paint decos in the center to resemble a shuriken. The blaster weapon formed by splitting the front tire can also be plugged into a 5 mm port on the robot mode back, allowing Laser Cycle to better resemble the original Road Rocket mold with its distinctive shoulder wheels. Unfortunately, the modern mold does not include a buzzsaw weapon like the original figure. Laser Cycle features Generation 2 Autobot insignia.
Laser Cycle was revealed with full stock photography by a Taiwan-based eBay seller in mid-June 2023 ahead of any official announcement by Hasbro.
This toy also turned out to be far less in demand than the rest of the "Toxitron Collection"; while this whole capsule had spotty and erratic distribution at best, in places where it did show up in decent numbers, multiple Laser Cycles hanging on pegs was frequently the only evidence the Deluxes had been there at all.
The original version of this mold was redecoed into Shattered Glass Collection Decepticon Flamewar, and further retooled into Legacy: Evolution Cybertronian Erial.

Notes

[edit]
  • Laser Cycle is based on a canceled 1995 Generation 2 Laser Cycle toy of Jazz, which was planned by Hasbro as a redeco of Road Rocket. Nearly 30 years after the fact, Hasbro resurrected the deco via the Legacy incarnation of Road Rocket, but made into a new character with a separate name, allowing the motorcycle figure to coexist with a properly-named Jazz in the same subline<ref>Fan Q&A with Hasbro designer Mark Maher on Instagram, captured on Imgur

"Hello, Mark. Thank you for all the insights on toys you publicly share with us Transformers fans!"
"I know you get a lot of questions, but may I ask, are Walmart Toxitron Jazz and Laser Cycle supposed to be two separate people if they are two simultaneous toys? Is Laser Cycle a female character like Arcee and Road Rocket?"
"I meannn they were originally the same person but then I came to think, it’d be cooler if they were seperate people" </ref> in the vein of Bluestreak and Silverstreak or Dragstrip and Shadowstrip.
