I Hope so. I need them in my life. I want a full figure of Nightbeat and Siren, but so maybe Takara will do Minerva and Hasbro will release it as Nightbeat here.

I think we will see something similar to what Takara did with the fembot legends toys of last year. There is enough mold variety that for more niche headmasters, they could so some slight retooling and new paint and give us characters we wouldnt get from Hasbro.

Gotta say that I don't appreciate those drone things that come with the deluxe figures; I don't feel like paying extra money for them.
Wish Takara had released all of them as a separate set or sets.

I was talking about the deluxes like Minerva and the like, or a headmaster arcee. The voyagers would need new molds, yes.
And I share your sentiments, especially since i dont care for the decos used for those "drones"

Hasbro is getting my money for the majority of this line, especially Fort Max since he deco I see here is quite lackluster. Hasbro's actually highlights the sculpting better and has a nicer difference in colours. I get that its not toon accurate but to be frank (or roberta), I really dislike how this whole Fort Max thing was handled anyway, with denying hm his rightful city mode he is known for. So this is a new fort max anyway, and might as well go with the option that is easiest to get and which will opefully cost less in the end. I am super happy though that the cheaper option for me (Hasbro) also happens to have a perfectly competent deco. In case people dont remember, here it is for comparison's sake:
compared to:
Am I the only one who finds that the Hasbro one looks better, just judging it as a cool looking toy?
I like the Hasbro version better, but mostly because of the blue eyes, which I always prefer. Which is why I would get Takara Blaster if it wasn't $15-30 more than the Hasbro version.william-james88 wrote:Am I the only one who finds that the Hasbro one looks better, just judging it as a cool looking toy?

Agreed. That warmer "beige-gray" on the Hasbro version looks a lot cheaper, especially so on Power Master Optimus Prime. I have a feeling that I'll be holding out for Takara's "Ginrai" version of the figure.

No pictures of Power Master Prime/ Ginrai have been released yet have they? I agree I have bought more from Takara lately than ever before and I can't see myself going for the dull grays with hasbro over spending a bit more and getting a better product

Seriously? They didn't change Galvatron's head when everyone was sooo sure they would. They AREN'T altering they're headmaster gimmick, there is nothing to support the idea that they are or will. The best they could do is swap out the sh|t greige (grey-beige) plastic on hasbro's pmop for something much nicer looking, and they may not even release sentinel.

I don't have to work for them to see a clear pattern. They didn't change Blurr, they didn't change Scourge, they didn't change Blaster, and they didn't change Galvatron - all of whom people swore that TT would alter as to facilitate a 'proper' head, and yet, here we are, so what evidence is there that they will?
