Hasbro continues to roll out some popular characters in their Transformers: Legacy United line, which offers characters from a number of Transformers characters from the multiverse. Autobot Cosmos was actually released before in Transformers: Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection, but his availability was limited back in 2022/2023 and most fans could not obtain him. He is inspired from the Generation One action figure and this is the best Cosmos figure that Hasbro has ever put out.
Wheeljack is inspired from Transformers: Armada, in 2003, otherwise known as the show with a lot of animation mistakes. Wheeljack is a modern update to that now vintage toy (it’s amazing how time flies sometimes) and is a redeco of Shattered Glass Collection Sideswipe and a retool of Kingdom Sideswipe and given a new front fascia, doors, and head.
Thank you to Entertainment Earth for sending along Hasbro’s Transformers: Legacy United Autobot Cosmos & Armada Wheeljack figure for review.

Cosmos and Wheeljack are packaged in the standard window box packaging, including nicely done artwork and images on all sides. On the back are images in both modes.
Cosmos is a reissue/repack of the previously offered figure that was in short supply and high demand in 2022/2023, and inspired from his vintage toy. In robot mode, he includes the Autobot logo on the front of the chest, metallic silver, metallic blue, grey, dark and light green, two shades of yellow, and red on top. The yellow on the arms is slightly duller compared to his first release, and that is really the only difference between the deco on the two releases. The chest is the most detailed with the Autobot logo and design on the front, along with a round design. The head is also round, but shorter and flat on top, and a little wider towards the bottom. Cosmos includes a blaster and a flag, which can connect together, or placed on the figure in a variety of different ways.
This includes placing the flag or blaster on the ports on the sides of the arms, the blaster on the back, or the blaster in either hand, and connecting the flag to it. He can also hold the flag in his hand.
He is also fully articulated, and includes a ball jointed neck, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel waist, swivel-hinged hips, swivel thighs, and hinged knees.
His vehicle mode is a flying saucer, which looks like an alien spacecraft and something very different compared to other Autobots vehicle modes that blended in better with Earth vehicles in the Generation One cartoon. The blaster can be placed on either side.
Armada Universe Wheeljack is a clever repaint of Shattered Glass Sideswipe and a retool of War for Cybertron: Kingdom Sideswipe. He comes mostly in black, with white, blue, red and metallic silver deco, with metallic gold rims on the tires, face, rocket launcher and running boards/clubs/swords. HIs chest includes the battle damage that looks great and it slices though the Autobot logo. The rocket launcher can be placed on either shoulder, his hand or placed on the port on his forearm. The swords can also be placed in his hands.
Wheeljack is fully articulated, and includes a ball jointed neck, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, hinged elbows, swivel waist, swivel-hinged hips, and hinged knees.
The vehicle mode includes retooled doors so that the running boards can be placed on the sides, and lifted up to re-create the original toy’s Powerlinx feature in vehicle mode. The original toy came with a mini-con to make this work, but as this new release does not, it needs to be done manually. The vehicle mode is otherwise the same as Sideswipe, and visually looks great.
Overall, Hasbro’s Transformers Legacy United Cosmos and Wheeljack figures looks great and and pays a great tribute to the vintage toy and given some modern updates in this new line These are certainly figures you will want to add to your collection, so make sure to pick them up today at Entertainment Earth.
