Yeah, it's like, "Anyone but Flywheels". (Fingers crossed for Airwave next)LOST Cybertronian wrote:Sure as hell didn't see Starscream outta that Doubledealer figure.

Not to mention that this year technically isn't the 30th anniversary for Transformers in Japan, since they didn't get the G1 toys until 1985, so 2015 would make more sense to be Japan's big celebratory year.

Except for they've been slapping their 30th anniversary logo on products for a while so it seems like they're adopting 1984 as their year.

Redecos/repaints of newer designs for classic characters especially ones like Brawn and Starscream is just a cheap cop out and one that is being so overdone this year it's pathetic. Of all years, the 30th anniversary year, I would have expected better than this. I mean, I would expect this of Hasbro but for Takara/Tomy to do this... wow! What a kick to the groin.
What if Cloud Brawn turns out to be deco'd differently from GDO Brawn?Primeultimus wrote:megatronus wrote:I sure wish Brawn was released under GDO instead of Cloud... would have saved me $60.
I had a $200 bounty out on Brawn GDO. Glad I can kill that one. With that and what I believe to be Movie Trilogy Ratchet on the way things are looking good for my wallet! Thanks Takara!

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.
