To buy the Takara version of Leader Jetfire or not... That is the question...

I'm going with the Takara one, because the red chrome on the Hasbro version doesn't look right to me.

The chrome can be removed. There's red plastic underneath it.

How to remove chrome without destroying anything?

Woah! Talk about effective! I don't know if we have that specific product in Canada, but I'm gonna try it with Hertel or something.

I wonder if brainstorm will get a repaint or remold, and if so into who?

I wonder what the Cloud line might use him for.

The Cloud line is complete, no new figures. All 8 figures are now known, and we've known from the start that's all it'll have.

I though it was said somewhere that there'd be a final fifth wave.

EDIT: And now I can't find anything on that, so Wave 4 might indeed be the end.

A surprise wave? Weird, the Cloud site only mentions the 4.

I will pass on all of these. The Scout Class minibots are out of scale with the rest of the Classics line-up. This in my opinion is unforgiveable.

Do you believe them to be too big, or too small?

In my opinion they are too small.

Scale has always been an issue with Transformers in G1. It's about time we moved passed that.

Meaning Hasbro should finally set up a standard size for their TF line? Wouldn't cost/design factors also have to be taken into consideration?

That would be tough though. I would like my vehicles to be in scale but then again i see tailgate as a small guy you know. So i would prefer if he were small.
Plus, there's always that 'small car, giant jet' thing, which means starscream would tower over any of the cars.

As for Brainstorm's repaint/remold? What about Dreadwing or even Darkwing.
Really like these though, but apart from tailgate, hasbro's look fine enough.

Scale? In Transformers? Surely you jest.

I raise you with this:



Everybody on screen are inside Astrotrain, even a fully formed Devastator in TF The Movie. For those who dont know, In robot mode, Astrotrain is the size of a standard seeker.

Well we got in-hand images of Cloud Shockwave from eBay seller lena81822, how about some new images of the Takara version the mold Cloud Shockwave came from? Today we get to see the first in-hand images of the Takara Legends Whirl! Can you spot the differences? Which version do you prefer? Let us know what you think in our forums here.

[shajaki]

i like it. but the knee joints dont really make me want to gamble on this mold a second time.

It looks goofy as hell. Kinda neat..... but in a goofy way. Pass. He's got a pony tail.

I'd rather keep my figures as unaltered as possible, for collectability and potential resellability. That's why it's the Takara version of leader Jetfire for me!

Thanks to Taghobby we get some new Figure King magazine images of Legends Brainstorm, Swerve and Tailgate. In this scan you can see that Legends Brainstorm has replaced a lot of the grays in the Hasbro version with blacks and the red and blue on Legends Swerve and Tailgate is darker as well. Let us know what you think of these differences in the Seibertron.com forums here and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

And no attention for the two campaigns in the same images?

The first with the clocks (yes, clock, 25cm or 10 inches in diameter) seems to be exclusive to the ever-popular (and often rigged) Crane Games, while the ones with the weapons is exclusive to Lost Age. They are:

Ptera Spear: repainted from Prime Knock Out's weapon
Spino Hammer: repainted from BH Deluxe Twinstrike's weapon
Tricera Mace: repainted from BH Deluxe Windrazor's weapon
Prime Axe: repainted from BH Dreadwing's melee weapon.

It's 2014 and headmasters still don't have individually poseable legs.
