You can even see it in his name: Special Saviour Combiner? It's Skylynx thinking he's the messiah.

Ratchet looks great.
Hound looks better than the CW version, but the $3 Reprolabel set got the same effects...
Trailbreaker looks ok. I kind of like the sleek CW bot mode better, but this is really more classic.
Wheeljack I really expected to look a lot better. Seems that the white is more white-ish, but the paint apps are too cartoony, needs more.
Skylynx has marginally different paint apps. I actually dislike the red weapons.
Overall, I was hoping for a little more premium out of this set.

I believe that is meant to refer to how they're a rescue team...
...but hey, you're probably right.

For Skylynx, I actually thought they were using the hasbro stand in the first time we saw it. There really isnt much difference and whatever difference there is doesnt really make it premium or superior. And I totally agree on trailbreaker. I love what Hasbro did with him. I really like the heavy use of tampos we have (like the G1 stickers and even his entire windshield), the Hasbro version already feels and looks very finished with takara not really adding something to make it look premium. That was never really their intention, they just want things to look cartoon accurate, but that just means that Hasbro did a pretty decent job on their end. Its too bad many fans have to get this set just to they can have a factory painted ratchet when the hasbro equivalents for most of the others are perfectly fine.

It's strange and wonderful how those little yellow stripes on Hound make all the difference in the world.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Wheeljack deco ia an homage to a Diaclone version of the Lancia toy.
Or maybe that Diaclone just doesn't have his stickers applied.
Also, love that box painting! Awesome how Lynx is air dropping in the team!

I'm going to ignore all the crazy and point out the irony of Sky Lynx balancing on the one foot that always collapses on itself (at least on my Hasbro one, pretty sure it's a widespread issue tho).

Takara did use "Sky-Byte" in Latin script for Legends Gelshark, though.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:That's also why no US RiD names are used.

The actual Kanji on the box instead translates more accurately into something like "Special Disaster Relief" as Lynxmaster's function.Sigma Magnus wrote:I believe that is meant to refer to how they're a rescue team...

Yeah, the most that looks different on Sky Lynx are the red inside his shuttle mouth (which was gold on Hasbro's), the red inside his lynx mouth (which again was gold on Hasbro's), and the weapons being red (which were gray on Hasbro's) as a homage to Sky Lynx's longer red tail on both Sky Lynx's original toy and cartoon model.william-james88 wrote:Counterpunch wrote:Trailbreaker looks ok.

It's the cartoon colors. The cartoon model was less colorful than the original stickered-up toy was.Cobotron wrote:And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Wheeljack deco ia an homage to a Diaclone version of the Lancia toy.

But if your using imgur, just use the brackets and the actual link you get by clicking on the image. It's the second one down on the right. Then we can see it here!

That is great.
I thought of doing something similar with Prime so he could have massive gorilla arms, Cybertron style

Regarding Baldigus: how will they translate his Function/Title into English?
戦闘スペシャリスト (sentō supesharisuto) Combat Specialist is pretty straightforward, but what faction will they use? Destronger? Combatron? Commando? Or even Predacon like they did for LG-EX Black Convoy?

I wouldn't even rule out them going with Decepticon. Less likely, but hardly impossible.

Why would Baldigus have to be a dimension hopper if Grand Scourge is? The point is that there's really nothing keeping people from displaying Grand Scourge with Baldigus, or any Transformers from any line for that matter.
Yeah, I was shocked when I saw the price was so high. I've been ordering my UW figures from TFSource because of the free shipping, but it looks like I need to dust off my BBTS account. Even after shipping it's only at least $166.
Prime already has massive gorilla arms.

I went to my second choice, BigBadToyStore, and pre-ordered Baldigus for the MUCH more sane price of $159.99. What gives with the $40.00 mark-up at TFSource? Yikes!

The funny thing is, I didn't see "Optimus Prime" when I looked at that picture. I saw IDW's Nova/Nemesis Prime. That might be because I've repurposed my Battle Core Optimus Prime as Nova Prime, of course.
