Mine's in my Private Warehouse on HLJ still waiting for me to ship it.

Mine's shipped but not yet arrived, hence why I thought someone somewhere might have theirs.

Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

While many fans await the arrival of the recently released Transformers Unite Warriors Grand Scourge, we thought we would give you a treat in the form of high quality scans of the comic that comes with him. If you are patiently waiting a gallery of him, don't worry as Grand Scourge will soon get the Seibertron gallery treatment. Until then enjoy comic pages below.

Poor Superion! Makes me want to buy that Grand Scourge too!

Is that......Reverse Convoy from the Vehicon planet? The black profile with the funky hair, is that the girl from Cloud? What the heck is happening here?

Did Megatron just call him "dude"? :-?

The real Megatron would never do that, this one must be an imposter >:oP

I wish there was more of this comic, because the Engrish is spectacular.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but could the ratchet cameo mean anything? All the other characters are using their cw/uw bodies and ratchet doesn't have a figure yet.

God, not more of the '84

's

Guess hasbor hasn't milked G1 enough yet, with the whole of G1 open to them, they couldn't find more deserving characters to update :roll:

Except this would be Takara not Hasbro >:oP

maybe they're doing ratchet instead of Ironhide for their optimus maximus

A byproduct of the hokey Engrish translation. He thankfully does not say that in the Japanese text.

This comic uses toy bodies based only on those that have been released in the Japanese market. Ratchet and Convoy are in their G1 cartoon bodies, Megatron's in his Legends body (which would place this story at some point after the G-2 pack-in manga and story pages, either before or after the other post-G-2 eHOBBY manga), and Blitzwing is in his Generations body.

That would take away from the Grand Convoy homage that Takara seems to be going for with their official configuration for Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus.

Someone ran the script through a Klingon to Japanese translator multiple times before drafting the comic proper.

I'm far more amused by the fact he combines with the Stuntilegs by goomba stomping them.

It's kinda cool that Takara makes these little bits of fiction for its toys.

I like that they use MP-10 for Optimus Prime in their comics.

And maybe that Ratchet is the inevitable retool of MP-27.

Here's another part of the LG14 story.

Got my payment request from Amiami for Ultra Magnus! That mean, he's coming soon! The funniest part is, even with shipping he cost barely a few bucks above the Canadian Hasbro version with taxes.

With the multi-language translation, I can't help but think that this could get the "JaAm"treatment. :-P

Is that the Beast Wars crew riding Metroplex? They're so cuuuuuute!

@Kanrabat - I chose EMS this time, just to see the difference in ship time. Sad thing is I could have ordered from BBTS for just a few bucks more. I'm on the fence now. I'm glad this is a better option for you guys up north though. No denying that some things are still way cheaper when bought directly from Japan. Especially MPs. Looking at you MP G2 Bee.

Edit: Wait! Oops! Why are we talking about Takara Legends in the Unite Warriors thread? :oops:
