The waist joint on the Legacy toy is actually attached to a slider that can entend forward for more articulation in robot mode and collapse down for the transformation that makes getting to both modes easier. It's hard to notice since it's obnoxiously tight (if only that tightness was saved for the chest tabs). Using the waist slider also helps improve the profile of the Dune Buggy slightly by letting the front slope down more and all the parts sit more flush. I personally really like the Legacy toy, he's a weird one, especially in buggy mode but the helicopter mode is awesome, I just feel like some weird tolerances and clearances hold him back.

This is a late comment, but I gotta say I think I came out with one of the far better copies of Legacy Sandstorm. The leg joints are firm, but not difficult to move in any way, and the chest on my copy actually stays on. It doesn’t take too much effort to unplug it, but it doesn’t come unplugged when I’m moving the arms for posing (it might be that the chest pegs on mine are a bit longer, thus allowing for more friction in the plug in ports, I can’t say for certain). Though in regard to the video, the clear winner is definitely the Thrilling 30 one. I still have some pretty good fun with the Legacy copy but, outside of me preferring the faceplate look on the Legacy, the Thrilling 30 is miles better.

That light piping is the one thing where T30 Sandstorm & Springer both took a fusion cannon shot to the ball bearings; that super light shade of blue just doesn't work, it's almost as egregious as the straight up clear white plastic they used in AoE Evasion Mode Optimus. They really needed something a bit more glorious, like the deep blue they used in Reveal the Shield Jazz. Legacy Sandstorm suffers from MP11 mold chest failure, eh? (Nothing locks into place, move the arms and you WILL move the torso as well) Yeeeaaahhh, that sucks ass. If I can ever find it, though, I may get it anyway; I ran with T30 & Siege Springer (and plan on getting SS86-30 Springer), I sat through the heavily flawed and on the brink of 🐳💩 T30 Blitzwing, missed the TR Blitzwing (I'd rather go Takara there), and sat through the only successful in robot mode Legacy Blitzwing, I think I'll manage with Sandstorm.

T30 Sandstorm is almost the perfect modern mecha toy. But he doesn't have a faceplate so I'm not so sure about him.

The T30's car mode is a repainted Batmobile just like Springer. But it fits Sandstorm more than Springer. Legacy Sandstorm is just extremely cute. He looks like a happy go lucky kid who overprepared for the first day of school. The helicopter is a normal ass helicopter. It's kinda lame compared to everything else.

I’m really happy to have a G1 take on the character through the Legacy version since I always loved the Starscream’s Ghost episode as a kid (where’s Octane, Hasbro?) but honestly I kinda wish they had gone full toy-accurate with the head rather than a weird amalgam of toy and cartoon. The designers hinted that we’ll be seeing a fully cartoon accurate head at some point, so I’m especially annoyed that they only went halfway with this first one. It was probably done for the sake of the transformation, but it’s not like the current transformation is so great that it couldn’t have been reworked (they couldn’t have made it that much worse.)

I have to agree but then again I consider the T30 to be one of the best triple changers ever made so i wasn't expecting the Legacy one to beat it. I did get the Legacy one for about $25 and its pretty good for the price and i do like the helicopter mode a lot. I picked up the T30 around 2020 for $40 so I'm sad it so hard to get for a reasonable price. That said the T30 didnt have the best transformation either. Getting the wheel covers out from dune buggy mode is a pain and i always have trouble with the tail end of the VTOL. As for accessories, i love the T30's Anubis gun. For the Legacy I have issues with the cage in buggy mode but i like having the pistol (I believe its supposed to be a welding gun) as the exhaust in buggy mode and the gun kind of holds in on the other side. I wish the cage had better storage in robot mode but you can kind of put it on the back. Also forgot to mention, the Legacy version stands so much better than the T30 which tends to be top heavy. Overall, I'd say the Legacy on isnt worth the price but for $25-35 its a pretty good figure (I got Tigerhawk for the same price and it was also a good $25 figure but id be upset paying full price).

I have to admit that I think the generations one’s VTOL still looks better than the legacy helicopter. The generation’s gun clips in under the cockpit and has molded landing gear on it. Apart from his pose-ability, the biggest downside to thrilling 30 is his absolute joke of a spring loaded firing gimmick. If you’ve ever seen the video of soldiers firing a missile launcher only for the missile to slide out and drop in front of them… that goes further than Sandstorm’s.

Well, one thing for sure, this Legacy Sandstorm is the best G1 CHUG Transformer to date. I disagree with you on the dune buggy mode. It's a good looking mold that is a mix mash of the G1 show and toy. In fact, all 3 modes are solid. What I do agree with you is the chest not tabbing as it should, but at least it stays put. And also, how tight the legs and chopper blades are. While the blades only requires some effort but enough to scare me at times, the legs' slider took me a long time to be able to click it all the way and all the way out. It took me several transformations for those sliders to finally start clicking 😅. But all in all, the 3 modes are good aesthetically and the transformation itself, while simple, is still satisfying enough to handle even amidst a few criticisms.
