apparently not

Also works with how the Beast Warrior TFs are smaller than G1 TF Ancestors. Planet Micro becomes "NEW" Cybertron in Beast era.

Except that the original Cybertron gets restored to being hospitable again by the time of G-2, with the Autobots and Decepticons living on it again.

Not to mention the Cybertron of the Beast Era containing several things found only on the original Cybertron such as Vector Sigma, the Plasma Energy Chamber, Iacon, etc.

Maybe Gorlam Prime and Planet Micro will become one in the same. Considering that Rodimus will
get New Legends Figure in the form of Blackjack retool and repaint. I can see the Tomy Takara staff will try to use that as a connection in a future Legends webcomic.

Takara's Legends line seems to be ending with Megatron, as Superion will be part of a new line called Unite Warriors. And with Rodimus's new toy being a retool of Blackjack, it is possible that Takara might ignore releasing it just as they have ignored several other retooled Generations molds lately.

Hmm I thought the G-2 Cybertron in the Japanese toy comics takes place in the 90's (as they in the IRL time they where released) and thus before the 2005/2010, Headmasters and so on series. And True Cybertron in Beast Era did contain same G1 Locations, but was that also
explained in the Japanese dubs for BW2 and Neo? I didn't see all of the Japanese original BW cartoons, so not sure if the Cybertron in BW Japan era is considered New Cybertron that Rodimus Founded, or a Restored Cybertron (despite being blown up).

Ok I talked to my friend in Japan and he said this from what he recalled: "it was back without explanation in TF-V or TF-Z, so the fans were speculating that rodomus (from manga) did restore the timeline".

Nope. The G-2 pack-in manga and story pages took place some time after 2035.

Though, the sole chapter of G-2 manga titled "The New Battle!!" did take place in the 90's, but it's a different continuity.

explained in the Japanese dubs for BW2 and Neo? I didn't see all of the Japanese original BW cartoons, so not sure if the Cybertron in BW Japan era is considered New Cybertron that Rodimus Founded, or a Restored Cybertron (despite being blown up).

See this timeline for more details - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_cartoon_timeline_(Japan)

Also, just a pet peeve of mine, but it's not "Beast Wars 2", it's "Beast Wars II" ("Beast Wars Second").

Ok I talked to my friend in Japan and he said this from what he recalled: "it was back without explanation in TF-V or TF-Z, so the fans were speculating that rodomus (from manga) did restore the timeline".

Cybertron didn't appear in Victory or Zone.

II can also mean 2 XD or 2nd XD

The show verbally calls itself "Bīsuto Wōzu Sekando" rather than "Bīsuto Wōzu Tsū"

[JasonCanty79]

yes this is true but when I typed Beast Wars 2 the first time. I as typing fast, and didn't put Beast Wars 2nd.

See how Chromia's art kicks high or how Windblade grasps ther "blade"? Arcee on the other hand is a warmonger with all the guns blazing!

[Cobotron]

Oh Fen. Don't feed the beast.

speaking of beasts. what is that horrible dog thing?

I think I like Hasbro Chromia better. That smile is strange.

[Sabrblade]

speaking of beasts. what is that horrible dog thing?

DOTM Steeljaw. Came with Human Alliance Leadfoot.

As for Chromia, Takara's has eyes that are alive, while Hasbro's has eyes that are dead.

Hahaha. The truth is, there is no issue unless you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel for something nasty. I'm just giving the viewers a heads up on what they might see if they peek.

That dog reminds me of a Zoid? And Windblade seems to be hanging a lugnut goody at it.

The Arcee pose imho just showcases her poseability.

The manga on the otherhand makes me wish for an Encore Roadrage and the Artstorm Elita-1.

Sabr, could you help I.D those other fembots? Those to the right of Elita especially?

[Evil Eye]

For what it's worth, that particular sword-holding pose is a fairly stock pose for sword-wielding characters amongst Japanese artists, male or female. The "Dare you enter my magical realm?" insane grin doesn't help though.

The poses with Steeljaw are hilarious. Arcee kicking back is cool (she really is poseable!). Chromia's Joker smile is TERRIFYING. That comic though...Oh, Takara. I swear you're watching this thread and you're just trying to wind us up now.

(Amusingly, the artist for this comic used to do crossdressing yaoi doujins. Which might explain a few things, and raise a whole lot more questions...I fear Arcee may be packing an extra gearstick if you catch my drift...)

Oh wow! Now that I look at the image, I didn't realize just how many fembots were in that pic!

Okay, lessee...



Pink Rewind/Eject = Kiss Players Rosanna
Pink bot next to her = a nurse from Energon
Green panties at the top = probably a Paradron Medic
Red and white w/ orange face = Minerva
Mouthless bot next to Elita = Energon Arcee (weird that her mouth is missing)
Small pink and white below Elita = Clipper, a show-only Micromaster from Victory
Smaller pink and blue next to Clipper - Arms Micron Arc
Orange girl below Arc = Animated Lickety-Split
Blue and white at the bottom = Prime Arcee
Small orange and gray at the bottom = Micromaster Windy from Operation Combination
Red and blue mouthplated Tracks = Road Rage
Just above Road Rage and mostly cut out = Animated Red Alert

White kitty with tie and glasses = Beast Wars Tigatron as depicted in the Legends manga

Not sure about the dark thing above Elita, though.

Ya, it's real samurai style.

Sabsie - You have made that observation about Chromia's eye before, and I totally agree. The smile is creepy though, no? Very Joker like. I thought I liked that lavender color better, but not so much now.

[Evil Eye]

I still wish we'd get an MP ROsanna/Flip Sides, if only so we could have an actual female Cassetticon that isn't just a repaint of a male.

[Va'al]

C'mon Windblade, ship from wherever you are - I have a photo to take!

The dark thing is Movie 1 Arcee's foot!

[Peridot]

If there's anything to be complaining about, it's Chromia's horrible box art pose. Arcee's is okay and Windblade's, while questionable, is decent, but Chromia's is just garbage. Awkward, sexualized garbage.

It... kinda looks like a high heel.
EDIT: Ninja'd! Primus slag it, Sabrblade!

It's 2007 Movie arcee's foot

Interesting, they have the limbs attached a different way. On another note I really should get around to opening the Hasbro version of these figures.

Looks like there might be a possible Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG10 Arcee shortage! According to Site sponsor HobbyLink Japan they have learned that the manufacturer has only produced a very limited number of LG10 Legends Arcee, LG11 Chromia and LG12 Windblade . Check out the below e-mail that I've just received from HLJ.

Hello-

This is Mark Kutsugi at HobbyLink Japan. Thank you for your order with us for TKT81295 LG10 Arcee.

Unfortunately, we have learned that the manufacturer has only produced a very limited number of this item. Although we placed a large order for this item with our distributors, we will receive a very small number of pieces on or about February 15, and have exhausted our attempts to find any additional sources.

As always, when this item comes out we will fill orders in the order that they were placed. Unfortunately, given the extremely small number of pieces that we will receive, we have determined that there is no chance that we can fill your entire order, so we've had to reduce quantities to a limit of one TKT81295 per customer, regardless of how many were ordered.

We're as disappointed by this news as you are, as we were looking forward to selling many pieces of this item.

Our apologies for this unfortunate development. We look forward to your continued support of HLJ.



Best Regards,



Mark Kutsugi
HobbyLink Japan

Just a quick note, I had two Arcee on preorder.

Remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!
