That's why I say TAV-21 may be more akin to the older leaders than the newer ones.

And I totally agree. I just disagreed on your calling it a surpreme class.

All that's missing from the picture is a properly scaled Grimlock figure. Come on, Takara! I know you can make it happen! And no, "Big" Grimlock doesn't count.

(Edit: They would need to replace TAV Fixit with Hasbro's Legion Fixit as well. Otherwise, that's a gorgeous cast shot.)

Noticed just now, all of them have melee weapons. No focused phased energy or projectile weapons. A conscious part on Hasbro/TT to go "mano y mano" hand to hand decapitation over long range sudden death?

It makes him look like he's walking on stilts, more so than CW Menasor.

Now ya got me thinking of... this:

Fenrir72: so you think the robot mode and train mode are great? Honestly those are the only modes I care about so I may have to look into this.

From your post, looks like I got a convert. If you are after the train, good luck, wj88 says its all over Amazon. You won't regret it, a quirky take on old Optimus.TAV-21? Give him a try first. Then we'll "roast" him if he turns out to be a turd. I'll be the first in line btw.

He's right here: 30$ and free shipping, cheaper than he ever was http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Go-G26-Optimus-expriming/dp/B00H3VN9ZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435799579&sr=8-1&keywords=optimus+go

And I dont think there will be anything wrong with TAV 21, he looks to be as good as the Animated Leaders.

You have to watch the commercial this is from. They are all there just to show that the weapons that come with optimus can fit with the entire cast. To get al those weapons, you just have to buy TAV 21.

Yep. Think I'll take a chance on ExPrime and get him next payday. Is TAV-21 up for preorder?

Wow, you're bringing back all the memories of why I hated those combiners. And did you see the thighs on the police car and the backpack on the lion? those giant animal head really aren't doing them any favors

Up and gone unfortunately. AmiAmi & HLJ.

However there's still other sites you can watch:
BigInJapan
HobbySearch
They have yet to list them, so they'll be up sometime soon I bet.

After seeing the review and the figure in details:



Errrrrrhhhhhhh....... None of the GO! Combiners have any redeeming qualities. Even at 33$+ free ship, I'm gonna pass.

Eerrrrh. That is a pretty huge backpack. And arm kibble. Didn't realize it just hung there. Now in not so sure.

Still looks really cool in animation, though:

Well that's a resounding endorsement of something, but certainly not for the figure; I seriously cannot believe there were/are people out there defending these (not saying here, but in general) god they were so bad, I couldn't believe the stuff I read on the threads saying how great they were/were going to be

The backpack not that worrisome. You have the option to keep it plain or attach those parts that turn into kabuto's for the two super forms (samurai and ninja). Arm kibble is the "nose cone" of the train. Kind of like an arm armorguard. Not too much an issue on hand. he's got two faux train wheels and does some panel folding on his legs.

And he is stable.

Hobbysearch (I wonder what's the ish with them, always late with their TAV releases) still no TAV-21. BigInJapan too. Aside from the unavailability I vouch for their services. Just use Paypal.

P.S. What the? You didn't order TAV-21 when I posted his availability a few weeks back? Here's hoping there'll be some overstock.

I usually preorder from bbts and I don't think he's on there yet? I may be wrong. Money is tight at the moment so I may miss out on this guy .
It happened with MP-10 and now the cost is a little more than I can muster. Which SUCKS. I may still get ExPrime simply because of how weird and different he is. I mean, dang, a train/dragon sure is unique.

MP-10 is also available (for now) at hlj. D@mn choice to be made Good luck and hopefully you score one of them.

BBTS was actually the first to have him up. But unfortunately it seems even that's sold out.

Lol. Oh man. The lucks not with me. Maybe I'll get lucky after the initial desire fades.

And thanks Fenrir. Honestly if I had to pick though I'd get that mp-10. i hope he's stay in stock while I can save up for him. Being a responsible adult really sucks sometime.

I'm on a Scooby Snack diet btw. Yeah, it sucks indeed........being a responsible adult that is.

Woah, 59.99$ US at BBTS instead of 41$ US at Amiami?! And even then it's already sold out? This is a hot toy, glad I have him on the way.
