There's no "Targetmaster" in his name, like there is with Hot Rodimus, Chear, Triggerhappy, Misfire, Doublecross, and Slugslinger.

Hmmm. Wonder who the final Targetmaster will come with then. Would they break patterns and pack it with a Voyager or Legend or Leader maybe?

We still have a couple more Deluxe candidates, the best of which is Topspin.

And he doesn't have to be the last either they could always reuse or make a new design for another character.

Eh, I'd say that's unlikely due to Twin Twist. Heck, if anything I'm expecting the Jumpstarters to be a 2-pack...

Oh! What about Windblade?

About time for MP-10B. I've always wanted one!

Ok, dug through the News Archive a bit and it turns out Topspin and Perceptor will come with regular Titan Master vehicle redecos instead of Targetmasters. That was revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show 2017:

Takara Transformers Legends Perceptor, Bumblebee, Topspin, Overlord and More Said to Come Out Next

Does anyone know if Legends Overlord will come with an ittybitty golf club for Giga?

chuckdawg, we already GOT an updated Fracas. Back in 2008. Except it was called Nightstick and packaged with Cyclonus because Marvel Productions goofed when making The Rebirth.

Very unlikely.

Wait.... is that Megajet?

(Overlord might get 2 Tankettes since those Tanks have jet forms)

That was from an earlier issue when Tigatron brought a whole bunch of female characters (including Mega) from across the multiverse into the Legends world because he's a pervert. They all got sent back to their respect worlds afterward.

We have an English video review of the exclusive Takara Legends LG-EX Black Convoy, aka RID Scourge. This toy is based on the Titans Return Voyager Optimus Prime mold which you can also see in this video as a comparison. The video also compares this toy to the original RID Scourge and we also see him in all his modes, including the plane mold.

Enjoy!

I meant one to go with wave 1 Scourge. Could make a new mold for him no?

I know. It'd be hilarious though. On the other hand, it's not like it'd be a hard thing to make oneself.

Why would you need one? All you'd need is the Universe "Nightstick" mold with Fracas' color arrangement.

It's Nightstick who needs a new mold, one in his actual design.

I think it would be nice to have a new Fracas AND Nightstick, actually, in the new style and aesthetic matching Takara's "Targetmaster" additions to the Legends line. The "Nightstick" from Universe 2008 Cyclonus was great at the time, but doesn't really fit in with this new generation of designs. Maybe Takara will release the pair of them as a set at the same price point of a legends class figure and a Titan Master.

Looking forward to some stock photos. While I know what to expect from Perceptor's deco, I'm curious to see the Titan Master. Still hoping it'd be Nijika. :lol:

Already have the perfect Bumblebee but I like that the legend toy can carry a Titan Master or Spike. And if it's packed with the Cerebros head that would be great.

Now that you spoiled it, it's gonna be the Headmaster of Windblade. :BANG_HEAD:

Sadly, Windblade's Titan Master doesn't resemble Nijika either:

Which is a missed opportunity in her case since Takara could have made the whole Windblade figure into Nijika herself, allowing the previous Windblade figure to remain as Windblade while the new one could have been turned into her sister Nijika.

And which would have also enabled Perceptor and Nijika to coexist as separate individuals.

Rumour: mode details about upcoming Legends figures:

Source: Planetiacon.stfu

If true -- no new head for Perceptor. :/

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:11 am

Man, I would've loved a target reticle head for Perceptor; but I should've known it wasn't happening

Surprised at the new head for Octane. Isn't the one he has already in the Hasbro version accurate to all his appearances; original toy, cartoon and comics?

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:16 am

Courtesy of fellow user Cyberpath; we have some new details about some upcoming Takara Legends products according to Planet Iacon, specifically the changes from the Hasbro Titans Return versions of Bumblebee, Slugslinger, Perceptor and Octane.

Naturally all of them have new decos and as expected Slugslinger has a new-mold Targetmaster much like Misfire, Hot Rod, Doublecross and Kup; but of particular note are that the Headmaster for Octane and the Spike Headmaster that comes with Bumblebee are listed as new. Whether this just means new faceplates like with Legends Chromedome or completely new molds like with Legends Sixshot is currently unknown; but nevertheless, tell us what you think in the forums!

There's one on Shapeways but it requires painting it yourself.

Hmmm, maybe it means that he'll be packed with another Titan Master like the smaller figures have so far.

Sweeet, was wondering when this'd happen. This'll make Perceptor perfect

That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.
