Yeah, that would definitely make me stop thinking Hasbro was equivalent in paint job.

And thats how I would do it, the takara paint job with those side details painted, just to break up the white to day and not ignore molded detail. Also with the red painted on the side gun/lasers. I know Hasbro did that but I cant tell if Takara painted those openings red too.

It was ?! Do you have a quote or a link ot where you say that? Because from what I heard and read (no proof though), it seemed that Hasbro left it to the designer and it wasnt specific homages. All interviews point towards the decos being different to previous versions to as to distinguish this toy from the old and make it more new.

Yeah, I'll look for it. It was in writing. Surprised me, because I airways believed as did.

My Takara Blurr & Scourge got shipped out today from amiami so should be with me during the next week or so. Which is nice. Couldn't care less about the silly comic but the figure looks great (not gonna be putting the lil dude into the shield/vehicle-front like that though)

And I much prefer Takara's paintjob on Scourge. That nice blue on the top covering a much more logical shape and space whereas the Hasbro one looks a bit messy and unfocused and doesn't really fit the general flow of the ship's shape. If that makes sense. i don't even care...

Not quite. Just those two bits and pieces I noticed, which are but a tiny portion of everything going on in that comic.

Dont sell yourself short

Rather, I'm selling the comic up, as there looks to be a TON of cool stuff in it (but which I can't figure all out).

And the touch on the blaster.

That touch on the blaster is one of the things I like least about Takara's. Having owned a G1 Scourge for almost 30 years, it just seems super wrong to me for that (particularly as a sensor in ship mode) to be anything but solid blue with a red dot.

The answer is no, no it does not:

You can tilt the back of the seat forward a little bit on its transformation hinge to make it a look a little more like a sealed chamber, if you like.

It all really falls into place when the Japanese/Takara do a lot of filling in the blanks between G1 and this current line fiction.

All we need to know is Grand Galvatron's final fate as more or less the rest of the story will end within the Victory time line. Metrowars happens sometime between or after Return of Convoy. Need to plug the loophole there too. Micro Rodimus ......what happened to the Matrix? How did you end up as Starconvoy's partner? After that adventure, will your micromaster form turn into your HM form? So many questions.......

Speaking of the Legends comic, it seems Cancer is now a (crossdressing?) idol singer.



This is either completely adorable or totally stupid.

Seeing as how Takara Fortress Maximus isn't coming with guns, the question becomes, what's cheaper? US Max and buy the Taiwan sword or the SDCC set?

I really wish I saw the final pics of Blurr before the pre-orders sold out.

It's not so much crossdressing as it is... him no longer... wearing... pants... for whatever reason.

It definitely strikes me as bizarre. He was more of this kind of punkish tough guy who tried to act cool and serious but did have a sensitive and caring side that he often tried to hide for fear that it'd make him look weak if he ever let it show. He did eventually come to better accept that side of himself over time, as he grew less and less certain of his place as a Destron and became more aware of how the evil nature of the Destron faction really wasn't as cool as he (and the other Destron Headmaster Juniors) thought it was. He liked being a bad guy at first, but after undergoing a lot of development over the course of the series, he finally took a stand against the Destrons and betrayed them to join the Cybertrons along with Clouder, who was also trying to defect at the time.

So I can understand his becoming a nicer guy, but a (pants-less) idol? He never expressed an interest in that before. Why now?

Here are the full pages of the Shockwave & Cancer pack-in manga and the Scourge pack-in manga, but each split across two pics, one page per pic each.

From the way Cancer is drawn, anyone who didn't know him could easily mistake him for a girl.

Also, LOL, the Sweeps are sweeping.
