(Makes me a little more hopeful for Takara-ver. Computron and G2 Defensor (The Inferno with Random-limbs is not good enough.))
I think he meant a Hasbro Release of UW-08.... It's a nice thought, but doubtful (Glad I have mine...). I think a G2 Defensor is more likely, but still doubtful as well.

Guess we'll have to wait and see... And I REALLY hope that it is Snaptrap and that we're getting Piranacon! He is one of my favorite combiners, but I'm worried they'll take away the fun of having the Targetmaster mode for all the limbs by making one of them a legends class figure, or that the joints won't be strong enough for the combined mode to hold the weapon. And I wonder if they'd still have the Enigma slot
The select line is online exclusive regardless, for the life of me i dont understand what difference it makes if its from Hasbro or Takara. Its not like you'd find any of these at target.
Takara exclusive = higher price tag

It will be the same as the case with MP 44 right now.

Almost the same price either way, hence why while everyone wanted Star Convoy from Hasbro Pulse, in the end it wont make a difference. You probably end up paying more due to not having access to a pile of loot system to save on shipping.

Except, if you are in the US and already have Hasbro Pulse Premium for 2019 from ordering before Feb 24th, then it would be the cheapest option, since shipping is already covered.

O.Supreme wrote:...Some are exclusive, and some aren't. Also I'm thinking 3rd party sites such as BBTS, TF Source etc... will probably charge closer to $90 for Star Convoy
Compare Combat Hero Megatron at $32.99 from TFSource & BBTS vs. $29.99 from Hasbro Pulse. Still, I know that isn't much of a difference, but the bigger the toys, the more likely the price gap. Still, for most I guess it will come down what is the best deal after Taxes & Shipping, depending on location.

Takara exclusive = higher price tag
Its no longer a takara exclusive, and you are still stuck with a higher price tag. As I said, it makes no difference.

In Japan, Star Convoy is a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive, so he probably won't be on Amazon Japan (unless a seller puts one on there but likely for a higher price).Ironhidensh wrote:Man, I really want this figure, but I don't know if I $80 want him.....

Some speculate that the Leader class may be reserved for a figure of Super Megatron's upgraded form, Ultra Megatron.Skritz wrote:One thing which bugs me is that Super Megatron is likely going to be a Voyager, which is weird because you'd think that they would want him to be Leader-class too.
