Which is a shame because Star Saber would have been absolutely perfect for the "evolution" gimmick in Power of the Primes, mixed with a leftover Titan Master gimmick from Titans Return. He would have been an amazing "transition" figure between the two series. Hopefully they've got something really awesome planned for ol' Star Saber and Deszaras.
Yeah yeah I know, blame people like me who voted for a monkey. We didn't know that was going to be the Leader gimmick when the vote was around.

That's probably the reason it's seemingly taking so long to get a Star Saber release in "Generations" format. Takara is probably thinking, "we already gave fans a perfect Star Saber in the Masterpiece line. Why would you need anything else?"

If Takara can pull of this magic by retooling Black Shadow/Overlord, Twin Twist, and Misfire, they can certainly pull off the redecos of Titans Return Kup, Titans Return Hot Rod, and TR/LG Full-Tilt that they've already basically designed a la the Transformers Legends manga.

Disappointment came from seeing those molds used in the Legends Manga. Takara and Hasbro can do better for those 3 awesome Autobot Targetmasters who have never received proper updates before. It's been too long ... they need to be done right. If they are going to be remolds, I would expect something much better than something remolded from Full-Tilt. In addition, Titans Return Kup is one of the worst figures in my opinion from the past few years. I hope to see that figure never used again.

I'm thinking it's my least favorite Masterpiece figure of all time. It was literally opened, photographed for Seibertron.com, and put back in the box. I don't have it with the rest of my Masterpiece figures. I really would like to see a proper Leader Class or Supreme Class styled Star Saber and Deszaras.

I'd hope so, because then the heads can be Speeder, Drillbuster, and Sonic. If not, I'd be ok with those coming out later since Siege will have Micromasters.Sabrblade wrote:So, who wants to bet that they're all gonna still be Headmasters like their base molds were?
It's not perfect and is a bit clumsy at the Sonic Bomber/Dai Atlas connection, but it looks better than the gray model here by a country mile.Seibertron wrote:ScottyP wrote:The front.Seibertron wrote:Where is Misfire in that mess? I don't see his mold re-used. I definitely see Overlord and Twin Twist though.
I actually agree that it's a mess but hey, it's a gray model. I bet color will help. As is, the G1 combined vehicle mode is cleaner.
Not so sure about that, I was about to post that the original G1 version was a bit of a mess too in that goofy combined mode, but I still think this is extremely awesome ... mess and all!
