Really? Ah, I see, I am basing this on the date written on my toys and I assume Takara released their versions of the molds (by the way, am I writing that word correctly? I thought I did but others write it differently) a year earlier in Japan.

I spent the first five years with the club to get that combiner crap. We were promised an incredibly unique figure. We didn't get that.
Not to mention the difficulties foreign members had to go through each year to renew membership because they couldn't set up a modern (AND SECURE!) credit card processing service.
That was enough to put me off, but their fiction ... ugh ... it just became glorified fanwank material.
That's my opinion, it's right to me, you want to call it wrong? Go right ahead, it won't change my outlook.

Swerve/tailgate are a little too dark for my liking, While is too pale, I prefer Jetfire's chromed up weapons and Arcee, while more G1 accurate, looks a little "plain" to me. I kinda like her Hasbro variant better - the black breaks up things, adds colour, and it's all about re-imagining the character in this series of lines (classics style).
Roadbuster and Tankor's more metallic paint job kinda look cool, but the Hasbro versions do their job pretty well for me - and I quite like attaching stickers personally.
Not trying to talk down the line here, just announcing my surprise at just how good Hasbro had been in the past year or so.

Do we have an exact translation?
I would hope they don't compare him to MP... it may be more in line with "Hey, look how big this Leader Class figure is!"

Exactly, it's more of a size comparison than anything else. Either way, it would lessen the need for a new MP Megatron keeping in mind that Legends Leader Megatron will suffice for some.

Would it lessen it more than the release of the Hasbro version? Or did you just specify the Legends release because we are on this thread?
And I agree, my favourite part of that picture was the size comparison to Optimus.
