Huh, That's odd. The EZ Collection has been put under the generic Transformers label, instead of Transformers GO! Kinda like our generic 2010 lines.

At first I was like: Damn, these molds again?!
But then I was like: Oh snap, I like that grey Megatron tank.

Takara is really milking those molds! They are good molds, though.

And the Generations vs. 2010 vs. Reveal the Shield debate is resurrected.

Packages look like bootlegs.
But Rodimus Prime, when are they going to stop making an almost perfect G1 optimus Prime in freakin LEGION CLASS. Please Hasbro Stahp! Make him a voyager.
I already have mini-prime.

By the way, What does EG or EZ mean?????????????????
Re: In-Package Images: Takara Tomy Transformers EG Collection

The new Prime with Roller in Generations is Commander Class
EZ = Easy, if you follow the American pronunciation. And EG probably stems from EZ + Go!.

"EG" = a cross between "EZ" and the "G" in "Transformers: Go!"

Nay. He's a new size class called "Legends class", which is a tad larger than Legion/old Legends and a smidge smaller than Commander.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:noctorro wrote:Packages look like bootlegs.

I know, I have him 2 meters to my left.
I just don't like the gundam proportions, and the windshield + head.
That's why me wantz a voyager sized updated version of that legion or the upcoming Commander. The Deluxe sized was a remake of the Robot Masters Optimus Prime which was a remake of Masterpiece 1 Optimus Prime. His truck mode is horrible and head looks bad. Other than that, he should've been the voyager mold and the voyager mold should've been a deluxe class.
end of grumpy rant.

Yet, the Legends one (not Commander) is based off the IDW design, which itself is a Movie-ized version of the Classics Voyager.noctorro wrote:I know, I have him 2 meters to my left.

Kinda disappointed they didn't include the weapons for Prime, Prowl, and Starscream. Heck, Starscream has the posts in his wings for them. Is it because the weapons were done in a previous EZ line?

The weapons are Hasbro only. TakaraTomy choose to keep them simple and omit the weapons it seems (only 4 molds have them anyway), but the retoolings remain.

And sadly, I cannot pick up any of these. The rules tied to my "30 strong" project dictate that I be frugal with the remaining 5 free slots (3 Autobot, 2 Decepticon). So unless they put out characters that already have slots in my collection... I guess this is the only time I will regard this set. So Takara Tomy? Dinobots. Give me that and I will toss even more money towards your direction.
(And guys, I do recommend trying to do this. It is mentally taxing, but has its own emotional rewards in the end.)
Oh, and on a side-note, I do acknowledge that I should have not rejoined in 2012. I might even retire here due to lack of people I can chat with. However, it did give me an excuse to start my own blog. So between Q3 2013 and Q1 2014, expect to see one be made by me. And when it comes to any G1 topic, I will make sure that every character I write about makes even my published works seem "amateur hour-ish."

The weapons first showed up in a Takara line after the original molds were released in the states.
