What the plans are with the 2017 toys (our Wave 3 and beyond), we don't know yet. I am counting on exclusives to tide us over, in the vein of Convobat and Magna Convoy.

That sounds about right. I guess it gives us time to focus on other lines, but darn, they were just getting to the good figures. Guess we'll have to wait and see their take on Getaway/Lightfoot, hopefully have bit more color than the Hasbro release.

Check the awesome poses thread and see.
You can post them here too. It wouldnt derail anything since we are still conversing in the Legends Thread, which is the thread where Legends Jetfire could be discussed![]()

I have the Legends version, one of my first Japanese figures, which I received for my birthday a few years back along with MP Ultra Magnus. I haven't played with him in awhile, so...micro-review!![]()
LOVE this jet mode. Love it love it love it. I remember going onto TFWiki and seeing the first pics of the Hasbro version from Toy Fair, and this mode alone sold me on it. My only real complaint is that I wish the wings were ratcheted, so it would be easier to get the wings into that position. (I also forgot he had so many thrusters.)
Next up, bot mode, in pacifist configuration. Again, love it, but not quite as much as the other configuration. Also, the legs are kinda weird to work with, and the ankles on mine are super tight. But it's not too bad.
Head sculpt is gorgeous, though. Also...
LIGHT PIPING
... *Ahem*
Anyway, next up:
Combat mode! For whatever reason, I prefer this over the other configuration. Slight problem with the gun, I wished it could peg in the middle of the backpack boosters to store in either mode. It would've just looked nice.
Battle mask is amazing. Probably wouldn't have bought this without it. It just looks so badass, and I like the slight anime style to it, and to the rest of the toy too. I'll admit, I am kinda biased towards the whole 'visor eyes, mouthplate, antennae' head design that the mask pulls off perfectly, but still.![]()
Also, more light-piping.![]()
I kinda wish they could've had it so somehow the whole visor lit up...but I like this too for some reason.![]()
Lastly, my preferred configuration. I dunno, I just think this looks the coolest.
Overall, I love this toy, and it was a nice bit of nostalgia to pick it up again. He might be hanging out on my desk for awhile...![]()

Is he? Huh. Come to think of it, I don't think I've looked at his head close to. Would have thought he would have used a more traditional Optimus head. Saying that, Convobat is an exclusive, so maybe they figure they need it in the mainline somewhere.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Plus, Convobat is more than an exclusive, he's a licenced figure right? So not even a TT release. That would make Leo Prime the only time that head is released by Takara.

All e-Hobby releases are official TakaraTomy product, in fact it's affiliated with them. The store may design the decos for the figures it sells, but in the end, it's all TakaraTomy.
