But hey, at least it'd be something different instead of just the same toy with a little extra paint.
But that means japanese fans wont get a release of Alpha Trion and will be stuck importing.

That's true; but on the other hand, it means everywhere else in the world won't get... whatever theoretical character Takara would repaint this mold into. So it balances out in the worst kind of way.

Takara tries to stay faithful as much as they can with little deviations but not much. Looks at the redecos that we've seen leaked photos of. I'd wager they won't be getting that Getaway retool of Chromedome.
That toy's bio justified its appearance differing from Lio Convoy's original look.william-james88 wrote:Another Lio Prime would be dull though. They did that last time Hasbro released a lion TF.
And that body and head looked nothing like Leo Prime. So yeah Japan is weird.

It suggests to me that the wanted Apeface's colors to match Weirdwolf's.

I agree. I don't believe Takara will be doing what they did with CW and start hashing it their own molds. I think they wanted to put a vehicle/beast with weirdwolf like they've done with the other headmasters they're putting out and that was hadn't been used yet.

Takara has already released characters twice under the legends line like rat trap and rhinox but they use them as exclusives. So they very well could just use the brain storm tooling but as an exclusive instead.
Your right and I can totally see that and I agree. But that still means everyone is back where we started off since Brainstorm is not part of Hasbro's standard schedule and so far Takara is following that schedule quite closely. An exclusve makes sense, but what is the most any of you would pay for a deluxe Brainstorm from Takara? Because Rattrap and co were 40$ back when the exchange was in our favor.

That would also explain why they reused the Crashbash vehicle for Wipe (again, Japanese name of Mindwipe). Also, only the original Headmasters in the anime seem to be eligible for extras, not the likes of Scourge and Blurr.
By the by, the Apeface vehicle matching Weirdwolf has a rather unfortunate consequence, as pointed out by Sabrblade:

The color layout of the Apeface vehicle in Weirdwolf's color scheme ends up giving it a rather particular resemblance to B.O.T.:fenrir72 wrote:Kinda slow on the pick up but what's the BOT episode relevant to the not Apeface mini vehicle?
