Title:
Transformers Legacy Evolution Needlenose
Description:
Needlenose (Deluxe Class, 2023)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-23
Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Ittoku Kuwazu (TakaraTomy)
Part of the first wave of Legacy: Evolution Deluxe Class figures, Needlenose is based directly on his original toy which gives him a rather simple transformation into his fighter jet mode. He comes with both his Targetmasters, Sunbeam and Zigzag, whom he can wield individually, or as a combined weapon; their combined form can also be inserted into the jet’s exhaust to appear as a larger external thruster. The official Hasbro promotional images had the color of Needlenose’s helmet incorrectly the same shade of gray as his torso, but the renders on the back of the packaging had the correct darker shade of the gray of the eventual release.
Combiner Wars Sunbeam is a redeco of Generations: Thrilling 30 Caliburst, transforming into a triple-barreled rifle. In gun mode, he can combine with his pack-in partner Zputty (and the other various iterations of the Holepunch mold) to form a super-rifle, with either one forming the ”front” part.
He was only available as an accessory with Needlenose, the first figure released in the Figure Subscription Service 4.0. This mold was also used to make Adventure Targetmaster, Timelines Dia, and Combiner Wars Singe.
Zigzag (he got his name back!) has no articulation and functions just like his original figure. He can transform into a blaster for Needlenose to wield, and can also combine with Sunbeam to form a larger blaster. He retains both of the molded ”accessories” that his original incarnation had.
Zigzag’s painted plastic peg fits rather snugly into Sunbeam’s port, so care must be taken to avoid stress marks.
This figure was revealed during Hasbro Pulse Con 2022. It was scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023 but arrived at Philippine retail in late November 2022.
