I was actually custom painting my megs into this very color scheme. Except i was making the jet parts a different color, so in jet mode he could be machine wars megaplex. Was going to paint the headmaster green and purple to homage the bigger gen2 megatron/megastorm. Kinda makes me not want to finish

Thanks to the fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have some update stock images of the recently revealed Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-61 Decepticon Clone set, LG-62 Windblade and LG-63 G2 Megatron! Mainly, the Takara Tomy website has shown off some 360° looks at the figures, plus some additional shots of the Windblade Titan Master, and the confirmation that the Target Master is simply called Targetmaster Windblade (ターゲットマスターウインドブレード), and no additional looks at Megatron other than the three main modes (so nothing on the Savage / Noble homage drone. Check them out below!

Windblade is an instant buy and I hope the last making her the ultimate for me. She's been replaced already twice. Megatron is a epic win and I'm thinking of making him my Megatron clone. :-P

Finally I have a way to get the Decepticlones without having to buy the box or aftermarket prices. That Windblade face/head looks beautiful, but I still think my Takara Adv Windblade will continue to be my Windblade.

G2 Megs looks sick! Wonder how they'll make him work in fiction. :-?

Windblade looks beautiful and I'm glad they decided to give her an actual sword, plus the Targetmaster (which looks great). Anyone else think her transector looks like some kind of Pteranodon in its alt mode with the way they painted it up? :lol:

As for the Clones, I still hate that they're Legends-Class. They should be Deluxes:

If I could get any of them, it'd definitely be Windblade. Alas, it just isn't possible. :-(

I believe they are legends size because this would have been closer to their original toy size, but yeah I understand the feeling. The Jumpstarters were also smaller and were upgraded to deluxe. I think initially it was the idea to have a toy at each different size class by Hasbro for the box sets.

Funny thing is I was half hoping for a BWII Megastorm repaint from Megatron, but this Combat Hero repaint will go well with Laser Prime (making a deal with one of my cousins atm). Still wish it had Megatron Rules on it, though.

Actually I think the prominence of the characters comes into play as well. The jumpstarters are a bit more prominent in the IDW fiction as wreckers, so making them legends would throw them out of scale with their fellow wreckers, so I can see them going deluxe. The clones are not that prominent at all in the current fiction, so legends makes sense there too. Gnaw is another good example. The original toy was more of a deluxe, but in fiction they are basically a generic foot soldier, legends makes sense for the updated figure.

I'm expecting Reprolabels to already be working on that.

Terrible diistribution at my closest walmart got me mad when I can't find Hot Rod. By the time I found him at a Walmart in Leon Guanajuato when I was on vacation and later on a Target in Orland Park, I gave up on him. Maybe with the Leader Class Rodimus coming soon, I can try to find him again.

Legends version are a lot better with almost every figure to me. But I am one of those sicko G1 Sunbow accuracy guys, hehe.

It doesn't seem to happen too often, but when :TAKARATOMY:

decides to do a unique repaint, the results are usually great! (See Grand Galvatron for further reference.)

Apologies if this has been asked or answered - but does the LG-EX Super GInrai come with the Headmasters that came in LG35 & LG42 in addition to Cab & Minerva?

Takaratomy mall had pictures showing cab and Minerva in godbomber with the godbomber head.

All the English descriptions are frightening because the only reference cab and Minerva. The chosen prime has pictures with the combined base mode that displays all four.
