I actually prefer the Hasbro version this time, it's slightly more cartoon-accurate.

If the stock pics are accurate and not open to further changes it looks like it will follow the exact color apps found in the box art.
See the stripes patterns on both chest panels (R and L)? The apps on his front shins. His sigils now have white borders and the armor have the black paint apps. And it looks like no chrome.
Being Japan bound, maybe this changes are Tomy's justification of a "slightly" higher SRP. He also might have a different colored plastic like the Japanese Drift had a different white from the Hasbro. I said "might" though.........

A pearly white would make Takara Jetfire 100% worth the asking price, IMHO.
Their Gelshark is shinier than Sky-Byte, and their Jetfire has more paint apps than Hasbro's. So, for Jetfire, it's just a non-shiny bling.fenrir72 wrote:Tomy or specifically anything for the Japanese market has an extra bling, though in this case.......no bling?? hehehehe

So then which mold is that classic optimus from? It looks like the Deluxe Classics Prime but he was much smaller. And the movie optimus looks like the one step optimus but once again that size make me scratch my head as to what toy this is and if it was actually ever released before. Can anyone help?

Generation One Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, and Lio Convoy are from the Robotmasters line over in Japan back in 2004-ish, and were all scaled to one another. They're roughly Deluxe-sized. The Optimus Primal and Lio Convoy you see in those images are NOT the Ultra-ish figures originally featured in their respective lines, but scaled down versions.

Thanks! So is this the same toy as the one from this piece of news:
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/takara-tomy-announces-transformers-legends-new-line-celebrating-30-years-of-transformers-180247/
Because if the Primal is deluxe sized, he should be the same size as the rattrap

No, that's the original BW Optimus Primal figure (well, the 10th anniversary retool). The main difference is in the hands.
Do we even know for sure that the Legend Commander Collection is even part of the Legends toyline?william-james88 wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:william-james88 wrote:Mindmaster wrote:

So takara is releasing 2 different scaled Optimus Primals in their Legends line then?

After all, it's "Legend Commander Collection" rather than "LegendS Commander Collection".
Not to mention that the LCC toys were all TF Expo exclusives.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do we even know for sure that the Legend Commander Collection is even part of the Legends toyline?

Silly me, I thought there was some coherence to the similar names
