We also see what Takara has up their sleeves for their version of the Robots in Disguise Legion figures like Underbite and Megatronus. This might be the way to get Megatronus individually, unlike how Hasbro has him teamed up with an Optimus redeco as a Toysrus exclusive pack.
These are also the first in hand images of the slew of upcoming TAV releases which we finally saw earlier this week such as TAV Battle Grimlock, Supreme Bumblebee, Black Shadow, and Stepper. What is probably most interesting is that we see a stand in featuring the upcoming VS set featuring "origin" Drift and "Battle" Jazz and it seems this Jazz has a visor, just as the Stepper redeco has.
Enjoy the images found on Manta Web and Game Watch!

No, he only comes with his weapons and Megatronus' straff. The other one came with all the weapons that the predacon hunter would turn into on the show such as the Bumblesabre, Jazz' lance, Sideswipe's katana and the crossbow weapon that Strongarm has which did not come with her figure. TAV 21 is still the only way to get that exclusive weapon of her's.
I am not trying to make you feel bad, I am just trying to make myself feel better since I much preffer the weapons this toy comes with
I mean look at that SWORD!

Simple Cobo, sell the less good one now while the better one is not out, and use that money to get the better one later.

Yeah but with takara, they are more limited than Hasbro releases and if you dont preorder you are stuck paying almost double, in my case.

Haha sure! I looked back on what I paid for shipping on the other guy and realized this was truly a one time thing. While it was the best deal for me, no one would buy him loose at a price high enough to cover my cost. But its fine. What I care most for in all TF toys is the sculpt. And I got that covered. And TAV 21 looks great too. I actually preffer this guy simply because he can interact with both the deluxe cars and the minicons and I am not too fond of the weapon gimick with TAv 21. But anyways.
In a very dramatic example, this is like being someone who didnt want kids to realize he cant have any even if he wanted to. He was happy not having kids, but he was happy with the fact that it was a choice. No one likes being deprived of info when making a choice and this is how I feel about this guy but to a much lesser extent. My daughter will be 1 month this friday by the way and she is doing great.

No its not. And that is why you may now understand what I meant earlier. The difference is really big but you have to preorder the day it goes up. Which gives you very little room to choose, hence why I took that Optimus TAv 21 without a moment's hesitation. Same for all the other TAVs. I would have liked to know Jazz would come with Drift before that preorder because then I would have held off on getting him and waited for this set instead.
Keep being subsribed to both this thread and the "now available online thread" where hopefully someone will inform us when this set is vailable.
Or just keep this link in your favourites: http://slist.amiami.com/top/search/list?s_keywords=tav&submit=Search&pagemax=40
Judging from the price of the previous VS packs, this 2 pack will be 28.11$ US before shipping. Shipping would be an extra 10$ at the most I beleive if you pick the SAL option.

Yeah, but instead of me thinking about him being an Optimus Prime with 3/4 of his height being his legs, I think of him being a Japanese super robot "SUPER CONVOY!!!"
...or he reminds me of Lord Business from the Lego Movie.

Owning the "clash" Sideswipe, I say he is better than the retail release. I love the paint job and it just works so well for him. and he's all molded in the same color plastic and no clear stuff, so the details just pop and mesh so much better

Well, these are the standard releases for tav, right? They didn't release a deluxe o/p, just n/p, right?

He just clicks so well! If it were not for the engineering issues (mainly the chest plate in vehicle mode) I would claim this as one of my top 5 favorite transformers I own. Drift is high up there too

He has a clearly better/nicer deco, and cool (exclusive?) accessories. But you had better hurry up with your decision, now that colored/finalized pics have dropped, pre-orders are probably gonna disappear.

Supercon/Deluxe and Leaderclass "Galaxy Force" Optimus Prime from Transformers Cybertron (the ones with black legs).
G2 Laser Optimus Prime. He even looks a little like Movie Sentinel Prime.
I like an Optimus with Black legs.

Yes indeed he does. I"ll make a deal with ya: You buy the set, keep the Jazz, then sell me the Drift for a resonable price and sent it to me? How bout that???
