Also is it me or does that Vehicon look like the one from Prime but with something different done for its gun? I see a peg coming out of its arm.

Looks like a new mold. Judging from the pic he'll be a foot tall, and feature sounds.Also is it me or does that Vehicon look like the one from Prime but with something different done for its gun? I see a peg coming out of its arm.
Nope, that's perfectly possible with the regular Vehicon. The gun has two small clamps on the bottom so it can attach to the either the sides of the hood (above the wheel covers), or on his forearms. And yes, the 5mm post is actually on the side of the gun, not the bottom

THOSE WARRIOR CLASS TOYS ARE RIDING IN THAT PRIME!
Totally super awesome cool!
Let's hope that sees a Christmas time domestic release.

So when it comes to toys like that Optimus or the Lost Age one pictured above, which might/will only be released by Takara, then is it designed by Takara instead? It's so odd to me since these toys seem ingrained with a line fully designed by Hasbro, based on media that is also from hasbro (Age of Extinction and RID 2015). It puzzles and intrigues me how this works. If anyone has a clue, let me know.

The long and short of it is that Hasbro does design all of the figures for its own market on paper, but commissions TakaraTomy to do the actual sculpting and refining. TakaraTomy is free to design any additional figures for its own market, but as they're not "ordered" by Hasbro, I wouldn't expect the Takara-only figures to hit state-side immediately.
Quickslinger and Brake-Neck shouldn't count as an argument against the latter statement, as there are signs that the heads were requested and included in the mold from the start, just held back by Hasbro.

The fact it has non-standard gimmicks and size point to it being a Takara-only design. The RiD2015 line seems to have done away with figure interaction except for the Mini-Cons and their Deployers.
The funny thing is that Lost Age Battle Command Optimus Prime was made to effectively replace Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, and to avoid "Character Saturation": TakaraTomy lines usually have only 2 versions of any character, tops and Grimlock met that quota with the One-Step and the Flip & Change.

Thats interesting. I am guessing the character saturation only applies to sublines right? Like Lost age and not AOE in general?
And is this also why they are using Warrior Optimus' RID 2015 toy as nemesis, keeping only Big Optimus and that really big gimicky optimus?
william-james88 wrote:megatronus wrote:Is Microshooter Fracture a brand new mold or a redeco of something else?
Hes not really much of a redeco actually, he's just Deployer Fracture for japanese audiences (and anyone willing to import him). We are getting him stateside.

Hopefully Takara does pull a deluxe groove for their Unite Warriors Defensor. A Bike mold makes sense given how it can be remolded into Afterburner.
Liking the colours on the blackjack repaint. The red will look nice on menasor IMO.
JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:One thing to keep in mind that even though they're in an Aligned-based toy line (well, separate from anything else as far as TakaraTomy's concerned) the G1-based characters are not confirmed to be their Prime versions. Meaning they may actually be the G1 characters. They include:
TAV16 Bombshell
TAV17 Shrapnel
TAV19 Powerglide
TAV20 Adams (Cosmos)
TAV25 Runabout
TAV26 Override
Roadblock is confirmed to be a new Aligned-based character, as he's mentioned in Gregevor's bio.

BTW, all this talk about new characters and not one person has mentioned that Jazz is being repainted into Stepper (Ricochet) for a vs. pack with Sideswipe. I'm going to have get that two pack and hope Sideswipe is repainted as well.
