Oh my goodness. I hadn't noticed those either!
I'd ask why they're there, but it's obviously so you can stick two heads onto the front of Kup's gun. What else would you use them for?

I think they have to be. I just took a look at TR Kup and he has similar shoulder pegs that face forward, but those are for pegging into the hole in the wrist for vehicle mode. Legends (whoops, I mean Lovely) Kup's pegs would point straight down in vehicle mode and there is nothing below the shoulders in that mode to peg into.
But, more importantly, you should be able to make a 3 headed Kup by pegging 2 more titan mater head onto his shoulders. THREE HEADED KUP!!!!!

2) These pics are way better than the previous ones... The first pics made him look grey. These actually show he is the right colors just way darker.
I would be happiest with Hasbro Kup with the Takara's head mold... I have the "Classics" and even the Prime one so I will figure out if I wanna get this one.

I have been wondering what Lovely Kup's shoulder pegs are for too. With the the remolding, I can't see how they would work like Hasby Kup's do.

There is a possibility we might get a TL Hb Takara painted version of it just like the recent "Headmaster" set of the Hb TMs.

I wouldn't call you that guy at all! That's actually exactly what I was curious about - cool to hear others' opinions and I'm glad you're happy with whichever you prefer.
And yeah, that custom does really help the TR version shine. With that paintjob, I could see myself honestly going either way on the headsculpt - but I do still think that the remolded LG/LV arms are more accurate to pretty much every version of Kup I can think of. (To each their own of course though - I adore this Kup but if you like the TR version more power to you! At the very least you'll have an easier time getting your ideal version.

As with all LG-EX toys, this will be readily available at specialty importer shops online (like our site sponsors) so the only obstacle into westerners getting this would be the markup due to its Exclusivity. Previous voyager LG-EX toys were sold around the $60 price point.

I mean, why wouldn't they? Hasbro didn't because they're cheap as sh|t, but TT takes proper pride in the things they design. Though scourge does seem to have the solid grey wings just like laser prime did, but the monotone silver hull seems like it kind of pulls everything together. Can't wait for pre-orders

They packed galvatron with alpha trion in a revision case, guess they over-produced galvatron mistakenly assuming people would buy that piece of crap, then no one did, so they decided to stuff a revision case with it, so it could shelfwarm even harder

They're both epic, cool, black repaints, so they're ostensibly the same thing in my eye's, besides Nemesis Prime is a way cooler character

Well yeah I know that but they are both black and teal Prime repaints was my logic hence me saying can we "cheat".
They could always call him "Grand Scourge" too.

Not when it's a G2 Laser OP body-type. That's RiD Scourge/CR Black Convoy. An Energon Optimus body-type would be Grand Scourge (like what we got with the UW figure). Nemesis would just be any other ordinary Optimus body-type, usually (lest there be any other specific exceptions out there, like a Lio Convoy body-type being Black Lio Convoy).Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's not a case of English vs. Japanese name.

Just because it was in the past doesn't mean they have to do only what is bound in said past they could easily give Nemesis Prime the G2 body and no one would care.
This is why we can't have new things like Alpha Bravo and Rook.

I dont think we can, not in the west. And in any case Scourge is far more synommous with RID than Armada since thats where he started.
As for Tidal Wave, he is in a boxset, not mass release. Just like G2 Prime which isnt G1 either. Of course, you could argue, "but why not put Scourge instead of G2 prime then" and thats a totally legit question. But I think Hasbro knew takara would do this, so they wanted to offer fans something different. Like that instead of choosing between 2 scourges (one from hasbro and one from takara), you can collect the same mold in 3 different colours. Hurray!
Posted by Sabrblade on April 21st, 2017 @ 2:03pm CDT
On the contrary. People DO care. Back when this TR Voyager Optimus mold was first revealed, people saw its influence in the G2 Laser Optimus body and wanted it done as RiD Scourge/CR Black Convoy. Not Nemesis Prime, Scourge. Specifically the guy from RiD 2001/Car Robots cartoon. Because, unlike virtually every other guy ever called "Nemesis Prime" back, Scourge was a legit character, and a COOL one at that! He had focus, development, his own long-running arc and agenda. He was a full-fledged character, whereas a proceeding "Nemesis Primes" of the 2000s were less actual "characters" more just mere "concepts", evil black Optimus Prime lookalikes made for the sake of it.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not when it's a G2 Laser OP body-type.

You can color any old Optimus Prime toy and call it "Nemesis Prime" all you want, but anytime there's a new toy based directly on G2 Laser Optimus Prime, any evil black redeco of that has GOT to be Scourge and it's got to look like Scourge, cuz that's his look, and he makes it look so good.

I get that and I do agree but it could just be a case where the box says one thing but the intended use is for something else like how say FOC Fireflight was called Air Raid on the box despite it not being the intention or with Titans Return Breakaway is actually Getaway with a different name one that I associate with a much cooler ROTF character.
Personally I call my toys whatever I want and not always what the box says so really I could do something original and call him Nemesis Prime the Grand Scourge of the Black Convoy but that's just me.

This is Takara we're dealing with here, though. We know that won't happen because they've already released a "LG-EX Black Convoy" toy previously with its correct name and Car Robots characterization left fully intact. There's nothing preventing them from doing the same for this figure, as we already know that its name is "LG-EX Black Convoy" and that Sakamoto knows that this is the Car Robots character. There's even a litle Combatron MarkDeadput wrote:I get that and I do agree but it could just be a case where the box says one thing but the intended use is for something else like how say FOC Fireflight was called Air Raid on the box despite it not being the intention or with Titans Return Breakaway is actually Getaway with a different name one that I associate with a much cooler ROTF character.

I thought we were talking about if Hasbro made him?
But your right about the Takara stuff so no arguments from me there.
