Cerebros/Fortress (Deluxe, Legends)

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 9:08 am

I kinda feel like Japan is gonna wanna somehow get their own version of Cerebros without having to buy the whole Hasbro version of Fort Max to do it. They got their Fortress version, but as The Rebirth was eventually released in Japan, the Cerebros featured in that three-parter kept his "Cerebros" name in the Japanese version, and coupled with his being bonded to Spike (which wasn't the case with Fortress), Cerebros would be a different character to the Japanese than Fortress, so I could totally see Takara doing a special release of the Hasbro Cerebros figure complete with the Hasbro Titan Master and given a more show-accurate deco (i.e. - no random blue shoulders that the Hasbro version has for some reason) to represent Rebirth Cerebros for their market.

And with the figure having built-in electronics, it'd be extra cool if they could get the Japanese voice of either Spike, Cerebros, or Fort Max from the Japanese dub of The Rebirth to say some quotes, like how the got the Japanese voice of Fortress to say some quotes for Fortress's figure.

Will also need IDW Cerebros.

Now to be fair this is more about the comic trying to be accurate to the new toy since this was part of the Titans Return crossover... and Cerebros kind of turns into a car in this one, but hey.

I very highly doubt that would happen just for the extra head.
I'd friggin' love it because it'd mean I could get the awesome Cerebros figure without having to pay for that big useless lump he comes with, but it just doesn't seem viable to me.

I was more thinking of them doing it as a special campaign figure or limited edition release, like an LG-EX type ordeal.

After all, they've done more for less that what the extra head offers (i.e. - straight redecos and such).

I... suppose, but I can't see them doing that still since I doubt anyone really cares about Rebirth in Japan.

Maybe, but they do at least seem to dig exclusives, what with how many they so often have. :-P

It really is amazing how wonderful Takara's version of Blurr turned out. 2016 Transformers figure of the year, perhaps? :-?

My turn: some of the screenshots use the alternate head more associated with Grapple, something the MP comes with

Triggerhappy (Deluxe)

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 7:22 am

I know there is a Deluxe scale Knock off that comes with mini-coronation capes and there is a MP cape for Starscream - so perhaps one of the future Voyager size KO's will have a cape that might fit Voyager Alpha Trion too ?

It would be nice if he could look like the design art more - especially as you can already get him a staff.
