Possibly due to the chest forming the shark head this time, which isn't as asymmetrical as the robot mode chest is.william-james88 wrote:Also, does anyone know why Hasbro did not go for the asymmetrical chest? Because every version of the character ever depicted seem to have the two colored chest design, unless I am wrong (in that case, please let me know).

I'd still buy the Hasbro version on sight, though, if I ever see him...
Why get the hasbro if you have the Gelshark on the way? I hope I dont come across as elitist to takara, I am just curious.

Yeah, I'm likewise thinking they might be sketches from the original 1988 toy's production.fenrir72 wrote:Those doodle are most probably for the original Ginrai/PM Optimus Prime.

But if not, they could instead have been something Yuki-san was drawing for the Fans Choice poll had Super Jinrai won instead of Star Saber.
Not when that makes it show-accurate.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, I'm likewise thinking they might be sketches from the original 1988 toy's production.fenrir72 wrote:Those doodle are most probably for the original Ginrai/PM Optimus Prime.

More or less. But if this would have been another MP Ginrai, having a windshield for a back would be a slap to modern engineering techniques ( that or do the henkei convoy transform sequence) let alone be a Masterpiece.

Besides, MP-1 and MP-10 both had two truck grills, MP-9 had two flame hoods, etc.

I have no problem with the grills, that's were the Godmaster/engine attaches. It's the windshield on his back at an angle (gives Ginrai a stooping appearance)......me no like.
When the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy was released in Japan, it was as a new character named Ginrai (with a soft G, like "Jin-rye") since, in the Japanese cartoon continuity, Optimus/Convoy was already dead once again, so they decided to make it into a new character instead of bringing him back to life for a third time.william-james88 wrote:Why is this Ginrai and not Convoy?

Ok, I know I will sound like a newbie but you guys have been nice and understanding before.
Why is this Ginrai and not Convoy?
Flanker's been redecoed into being the Micromaster Phaser partner of Blast Master (who is the real identity of Cosmos's Payload figure).wetwithwaterwings wrote:Takara's Flanker is a drastic departure from the U.S. release. I like how the gun mode mimics Swerve's "my first blaster" from MTMTE. Are those Flanker's original colors or is that a nod to something else?

Really? I thought it was the other way, since I figured the "guh" sound was softer to pronounce that the "juh" sound.Agamemnon wrote:Sabrblade wrote:When the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy was released in Japan, it was as a new character named Ginrai (with a hard G, like "Jin-rye")...
[Grammar Nazi] You meant "soft g" as in "jin" and not "hard g" like in "gun," right? [/grammar Nazi]![]()
Sorry, it never happens that I get to correct Sabrblade. His knowledge is truly astounding!!
