The advantage of Tomy of having a delayed release. They can improve on what maybe a somewhat subdued 1st release product. From the vantage view we can see from these shots, it really accentuates Windblade's face details.

Anyway, the figures are actually looking pretty sweet. I just wish the shipping cost to Canada weren't stupid. But I'm sure I'll be fine with the domestic releases. If they ever get here! XD

I agree. The TT version's face is at least more in keeping with Sarah Stone's depiction of the character.
Funny thing is, I'd spent all that effort sculpting a "bishoujo" face for Windblade on ZBrush (3d modeling software), and it turns out that her head is nigh impossible to remove. It CAN be done, but it involves either prying the 2 parts of her head apart, or replacing the connecting ball joint parts as well.

The Real Gear Robots were made to be a line released after Cybertron, but got delayed in their release. Luckily for them, the 2007 Movie 1 line provided an opening for them to get released since the film had cellphones and other small devices get turned into Transformers.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Developed before the movies circa TF: Cybertron, though.fenrir72 wrote:Thanks for the clarification.......so a Bayformer.
Not a Bayformer? Okay I won't derail the thread any further.

And, no, it's not like Kiss Players. Kiss Players' schtick was its being sexually disturbing.
Sabrblade wrote:Dear portion of the fandom that does translations of Japanese TF fiction,
If there were ever to be a chapter of the Legends manga, even just a single one, to be translated, it would, without a doubt, HAVE to be this one!
The final panel that shows Micromaster Hot Rodimus with the Matrix, Alpha Trion' ghost, and a bunch of other Micromasters, is definitely of some significant importance to the Headmasters cartoon, implying that it might possibly be canonizing the longstanding fan theory that Rodimus found Planet Micro for the Transformers to live on after Cybertron was destroyed.
But, we cannot know for sure without a proper translation. So please, PLEASE, you masters of Japanese translations, kindly work your skills and magic upon this lone piece of Legends media. You won't regret your service to this fandom, as many will be most greatful for your efforts.
Sincerely,
The eager portion of the fandom that is fascinated with the Japanese TF lore.

Except that the original Cybertron gets restored to being hospitable again by the time of G-2, with the Autobots and Decepticons living on it again.JasonCanty79 wrote:Also works with how the Beast Warrior TFs are smaller than G1 TF Ancestors. Planet Micro becomes "NEW" Cybertron in Beast era.
Takara's Legends line seems to be ending with Megatron, as Superion will be part of a new line called Unite Warriors. And with Rodimus's new toy being a retool of Blackjack, it is possible that Takara might ignore releasing it just as they have ignored several other retooled Generations molds lately.JasonCanty79 wrote:Maybe Gorlam Prime and Planet Micro will become one in the same. Considering that Rodimus will
get New Legends Figure in the form of Blackjack retool and repaint. I can see the Tomy Takara staff will try to use that as a connection in a future Legends webcomic.

Uh, yes to all of that. It's almost kinda scary. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the wiki!
