Not to be a downer, but it isnt. As you can see from waht I posted above, they are the same price as all the other "targetmasers" Takara released. They just put that name because Kup and Hot Rod were targetmasters in G1 and now once again come with a transforming gun accessory.
Nope - they were targetmasters here, but never in Japan. And it's very odd that they get the Targetmaster prefix but not Scourge or Blurr if they were for some reason going for an American reference; and also odd that the Headmasters didn't get a prefix that called them Headmasters. It's odd either way.

Not odd at all.
Scourge and blurr didnt get the prefix because they didnt come with an additional transforming weapon, unlike every other deluxe toy.

Which itself is odd - why didn't they come with a transforming weapon, unlike Hot Rod and Kup?

Because they were still part of the old price point, being the first figures released.it was a transition phase. Now that its established that de luxes come with titan master vehicles, thats how they wil all come out.

Keep it!
Thrilling 30 Sgt. Kup as main Kup it is then....
I'll likely buy 2 more Sharkticon's but it'll be for $20 total not $40!
Why are you surprised, thats how much BBTS priced all the legends toys partnered with "titanmasers" :
Brainstorm was even $45. Why would anyone expect toys in the same series would suddenly be cheaper? If you want to pay the real price, just import it yourself.

Not in japan.
But if you read he was, could you please give a link to that info?
Nah, BBTS was probably playing on his desirability because the US one was a Walgreens exclusive, a chain that can be very hard to find depending on where in the US you were. He is supposedly general retail in Europe, which adds salt to injury.
Although, the two of them received no Japanese fiction their being Targetmasters, aside from their bios, but which didn't say much:william-james88 wrote:Thanks Jelze, so that confirms it. Kup and Hot Rod do have reasons to be targetmasters in Japan when Blurr and Scourge wouldnt be![]()
C-113 ChearThe young Cybertron warrior dreams of becoming a hero, and one day holding an important position. Seeks thrills with his partner Firebolt, who remains insecure of his future, which is expected.
So we've yet to learn the context of their becoming Targetmasters in Japanese continuity. But I guess this means Sakamoto gets the first chance to give the this context.Chear is a brave veteran soldier who has great knowledge and experience.

They could always redeco Ptero as Terrorsaur...

How would they even explain that? Terrorsaur is already a character in the Legends universe,

Oh Primus, what are they gonna do to Triggerhappy?!

However, why the hell can't we just get a blue Kup, with a blue head, that actually looks like Kup?! After saying no to the previous generations one, and banking on this, I'm fairly disappointed.
