Dagnabbit!! I got to get in on this....

Heh, Hopefully he comes soon! I'm not expecting a charge for him for another 2 weeks still

my tf source preorder still says march 2019
anyway im glad i already pre paid for it so all i have to worry about is waiting

Actually now, with BBTS charging taxes beginning 4/1, I'm glad I didn't pre-order it. I'll have to do what I usually do. Start to save up, then gradually monitor sites vs eBay to see if this is a hot item, or something that sticks around long enough to eventually go on sale. Legends Grand Maximus seems to still be plentiful at BBTS. If he's still around towards the end of the year, I'm hoping for that to start to go on sale as well.

I will be doing the same.

Anyone posted the Manga continuation yet? it features SIEGE Battle Patrol, Race Team and Air Strike.



Also this Unicron...

Yes. I have. In the right thread. This is the toy-only thread.

And that's not Unicron.

Not Unicron as in it's a copy based on BW Neo Unicron, made from an asteroid like Remora from Shadow Raiders. And those PCC characters are upgraded Micromasters from United EX (tho not called out as such).

Indeed. Those are the Micomaster Sky Patrol Team members in their Master Class bodies from the United EX line, which were redecos of the Power Core Combiner toys. Read the actual summaries and see the full comic images in the post of that manga thread itself before jumping to conclusions. This is the toy topic. The manga talk was given its own thread for a reason (as in, so that the people who wanted to see just the toys and not the manga could have the manga stuff not in this thread).

Looks awesome, thank you Takara!

Who's jumping to conclusions,
Making accusations is not appreciated

From Dai Atlas's pack-in manga, here is the combined form of all five Powered Masters (and the Diaclone Big Powered toy, but that's not important now).

Presenting... Ultra Powered!

https://twitter.com/portarmy/status/1112346661638946820

I'm sure somebody has already submitted the in hand images for big powered, so all I'll say is that while Dai Atlas' legs are thin and hollow, the blue background makes them look worse. On the plus side it looks like Dia Atlas is all one piece.

Really looking forward to the big powered set. Got the God Ginrai combo pack (finally) to hold me over.

BTW, I thought of this the other day, might Micron Convoy actually be Star Convoy's inner robot? They were revealed together and as far as I know we haven't seen anything since on either.

I was trying to think of what the inner robot would look like but I remember the vehicle mode being a long-nosed truck, just like Micron Convoy.

Also I guess this unification means Takara's version of Galaxy-mode Optimus will be the same, with the Optimus repaint of Magnus' inner bot with a new chest, which in turn was a retool of Voyager class Optimus.

bruticus24484 wrote:BTW, I thought of this the other day, might Micron Convoy actually be Star Convoy's inner robot?

It's not. Further pics of the new Star Convoy showed it's back to have just a standard G1-based Optimus for its inner robot.

Ah, kay. Sounds terrible. I have to look these picks up.

It sounds more of a good way to show that Optimus Prime was resurrected into his Star Convoy body. Plus an inspection of Micron Convoy revealed fists in his legs which can only mean one thing...Micron Convoy Super Mode (or that they'll make Jetfire next... Or both)

Actually, the Siege Magnus inner bot is an entirely separate mold with entirely different engineering from Voyager Optimus.

More on topic, Star Convoy's inner robot appears to be specifically based on the original G1 toy of Optimus, with the head having details only the original toy had.

Some parts like the head and hands come directly from Voyager optimus, and the sculpting is identical. It's a heavy retool but shares too many designs for me personally to consider it new.

As far as star convoy having OG convoy inside, it's really silly to me because he will be the fourth minor variation of this design in this line alone. G1 optimus is my favorite character and I am honestly getting sick of him.

Doesn't help that the combined mode also looks just like OG convoy because it's a retool of potp optimus who was g1. It will literally be convoy transforming into a slight variation of himself. And this is along with G1 optimus turning into galaxy convoy. The only upside I can see is that the final figure may at least look better than potp optimus originally did, since a screen accurate Orion pax does not easily become a cab over engine semi.

Nuh uh. Siege Ultra Magnus's inner robot head is unique to Siege Voyager Optimus's head. The two molds share zero parts.

Star Convoy is not coming in the Siege line. It's either coming in the Legends line or in some all new line. It's a TakaraTomy-initiated figure made without Hasbro's input, completely unrelated to Siege.

For the sake of benefit of the doubt, I'm going over a review that compares the two. But no, they're not the same. They may look similar (only part that really does is the head, but the halves have a different attachment method), but that doesn't make them the same parts, especially when it comes to part reuse and retools.

But that's for a different thread

Anyone else feel bummed about having only TR Topspin, especially with that Ultra Powered combo?

Yes, darn you TT

Does the upcoming Big Powered team follow the traditional Japanese Headmaster theory, ie. Dai Atlas is now the head and the main robot body a lifeless husk?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Does the upcoming Big Powered team follow the traditional Japanese Headmaster theory, ie. Dai Atlas is now the head and the main robot body a lifeless husk?

Yes, I believe so as Vionjeiger (I have not spelt that right at all) took over the old bodies so the old heads became head masters with new bodies built specifically for them.

Yes, Japan doesn't do the whole "separate partner" thing, except for:

- Great Shot, paired with a reborn Jack
- The Monsterbots, paired with Beastformers (Battle Beasts).

So Speeder, Sonic (no, not that one, Amy!) and Drillbuster have any chance of appearing as Siege Micromaster redecos.

Ugh, the struggle is real! Big Powered arrived for me at BBTS, but I have it in my pile of loot waiting for Selects Ricochet to finally show up. I know I should be smart and save the extra $4 by shipping them together, but, I WANT MY PLASTIC CRACK NOW!!!!

I'm going to be patient.

For now.

Trust me Kev, your's is not the only Pile being held up by Rico Stepper.

Seconded, basically same story here

I dropped my BBTS pre-order because I heard Toy Dojo had them in stock and I had no clue when Big Bad would get them in. Can't wait to get the set.

The head is exactly the same but whatever, I don't really care.

And so I guess you mean takara won't be doing galaxy mode then okay, glad we are clear on that because i heard with the unification deal takara couldn't offer alternate decks without doing an entirely new figure which would would mean both galaxy modes would have to look exactly the same but no galaxy mode means no sweat.

Seriously I came here to talk toys but apparently policing language and arguing semantics are more important here. My bad, I though this was a fansite. Thank you for the clarification,

Wont be long (or shouldnt be) as he is here in the U.K, got mine this morning. Now to scrape some cash together and get big powered.

bruticus24484 wrote:The head is exactly the same but whatever, I don't really care.

The heads are not the same. As JelZe Goldrabbit already pointed out, the heads are constructed differently with each having a different method for which the halves of each head are connected together. Were they each the same head then their construction would be identical, not different.

No, Takara releases the Siege line too, but they also have the Legends line, which is a separate line that they release on their own without Hasbro's input.

bruticus24484 wrote:Seriously I came here to talk toys but apparently policing language and arguing semantics are more important here. My bad, I though this was a fansite. Thank you for the clarification,

I'm sorry if you we made feel overwhelmed by our attempts to help you to better understand which products Takara is putting out and such. That wasn't our intention. We simply wish to help you to know which lines have which products and that certain similar-looking items aren't the same mold, as things like that can be very misleading and we wouldn't want to see such confusion befall our fellow fan.

Takara is releasing the same products as Hasbro in the Siege line, but are also doing their own thing with the Legends line. Siege has the Voyager Optimus and the Galaxy Upgrade Optimus, while the new Star Convoy is either coming in Legends or in some new line altogether. And Japan is getting all of them (as far as we can tell), but not in the same line.

But to get back on topic, Legends is what this particular thread is for, while Siege has its own thread, so any discussion of Voyager and Galaxy Upgrade Optimus would go in there, rather than here.

from TFND, and Dengeki Hobby: Star Convoy + Silhouette figures ( Sky Garry?, ???)

They will be available for Generation SELECTS. (Legends?)

Is...Is that Snaptrap?

And of course Repaint:

If that's not snap trap I'll be suprised, also can't wait to see super Megatron!

really not a fan of that star convoy (especially inner Optimus) and I need more of that mold like I need a hole in the head. But looking forward to the other two.

Can't wait for the Seacons to form Pirahnacon/King Poseidon (Masterforce) or even its repaint, God Neptune from BWII!

william-james88 wrote:And Snap trap

But Snap Trap doesn't have visor eyes, he has normal eyes.

And the sword looks wrong to be Piranacon's.

Star convoys truck mode is a let down for me think i'm good with the encore and passing on the legends.

The others have potential.

Looks like Super Megatron is a retool of TR Galvatron.

Excited for Super Megatron too, shame we don't have Marauder Megatron on Animated (which is probably Animated Super Megatron)

Also, thanks to the text, we now know that these are not Legends toys after all but are instead part of a TakaraTomy Generations Selects line (as opposed to Hasbro's Generations Selects line).

Sabrblade wrote:Looks like Super Megatron is a retool of TR Galvatron.

Definitely! And it looks like the other (Snap Trap, maybe?) is possibly a retool of Hun Garr? The silhouette of the legs look like they could be. And the pieces hanging off his wrists?

Seems the conversation has shifted to the Generations Selects thread.
