Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg did us all a favor and imported the 4 new deluxes from Takara's version of the Earthspark line. Now you'll notice both the words Deluxe and Exclusive were in quotes in the title and that's because while these versions are exclusive to the Japanese market, they are all toys that we either got or will get from Hasbro. For Aftermath and Jawbreaker, we will get those same toys in slightly worse decos and the Elita 1 and Hashtag toys are warrior class figures which Takara retooled to provide more articulation, turning them into a deluxe figure.

Here are the reviews:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This is a great-looking figure. While I miss the forearm blaster I think this is a great update.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:A surprisingly fun figure to transform with a great deco!

I finally got to share pics of my 4 Takara deluxes

Messing with them more, my original opinions have not changed much, though I like Aftermath more and feel more disappointed in Jawbreaker.

Also, have a nice pic of the idealized Terran siblings, minus one.

This line and all the figures are a huge pile of wasted plastic, plastic that could have been used for better figures. But from the pile of this plastic mountain comes a decent looking figure and that is Aftermath. A really impressive figure that should have been a voyager class but still awesome!

The only thing that could have been made better is the firing weapon, it's just too small IMO.

The fact the Takara figure looks worth my dollar takes me back when fans had that same option, to choose the :HASBRO:
