There's been no word of a Takara release of Nightbeat or Jhiaxus.-Kanrabat- wrote:Nemesis Destron wrote:Recently I found both Nightbeat and Jhiaxus and I bought them both on a whim.

Nothing grinds my gears more than getting the Hasbro release only to find out how much better the Takara version actually is. So I chose to return them both for the simple possibility.
Do we know if this will be or no word yet? My thanks to anyone that may know.
Takara Windblade have been announced for ages and is just around the corner. Jiaxus is a given as well.
But heh, if you want to pay 40-50$ each figures instead of 15-20$, go nut.
The closest there has been is the Million Publishing release of Goshooter that uses he Nightbeat head, but no announcement of Nightbeat proper. Nor of Jhiaxus. Or Skids. Or Crosscut. Or Dreadwing. Or Goldfire.
Windblade got announced since Takara's gonna release her with Arcee and Chromia as a special trio of fembots in one wave.
Doubledealer got released as Cloud Starscream, but not as himself proper. And Scoop's getting released in the Japanese RID line as someone named Roadblock, so who know what he'll look like.
So yeah, Takara has sure been skipping out on a lot of Hasbro's Generations toys, either not releasing them at all, or only releasing them as something other than the characters that Hasbro intended them to be.
