With Transformers Legends LG 35 God Ginrai coming out soon, we are getting some in hand images found across facebook. These show parts of the transformation and it gives us an idea of how different or similar it is to the Hasbro version. We also have new magazine scans from Loopaza for the Figure King magazine, which has both God Ginrai and LG 42 God Bomber. And peaking of magazines, we have some hi resolution images from the generations book which feature these two toys as well (which come from a private facebook page).

Enjoy and give us your thoughts!

Huh, Wrist swivel. Nice.

I'm tempted by this guy, odd feet aside, and go for Godbomber as well. He's really tempting. Even Ginrai himself looks well done.

I really like the look of that headmaster, actually. Really nice facesculpt.

Man, it's not just his wings but God Ginrai's entire backpack is set too high up on his back. Looks like the wings don't detach from Godbomber's torso, so instead the whole torso just splits in half and each half just hangs off the back of God Ginrai as large backpack kibble.

Actually, from what I can tell, Godbomber just splits into feet, arms and armor. The armor seems to fold around the upper body via the shoulders, using the two tabs behind the head.

Those are some CW connector ports alright. Very confusing, but I'm sure we'll see a lot of bizarre combinations between God Bomber and Combiners once he hits.

Yes, even with the backpack wings, I'm going to have a lot of fun with this toy.

Less partsforming. Izzat so bad?

It's too bad they don't use the combiner peg for connecting the Godbomber foot to God Ginrai, it would have added a lot more range of motion to his ankle. Sitting there doing nothing is a little uninspired.

Not the partsforming, the issue with the wings and backpack being so much higher than they ought to be.

This toy is SUPER Ginrai. God Ginrai is the combination with Godbomber.

Not the partsforming, the issue with the wings and backpack being so much higher than they ought to be.

And the exoskeleton redesign did not allow for the wing part to be lower without compromising the entire transform feature as this version minimized the partsforming from the original.

In the original Godbomber, the part that makes up Godginrai's wing mount is parts formed and attached to Ginrai's supermode back holes which are situated way down on his back. Hence the wings more or less are parallel to his arms/shoulders. If Takara followed what you want, cosmetically, it would look like original but to do so, an extra folding hinge would pack in another extra cost to the fig etc etc

Really, if it was an exact carbon copy partsforming articulated modern version, people will complain. A slight tweak and people will still complain. Heck, even Ginrai's angled flat feet which is actually anime accurate and people will still complain. Too many grinches I say.

If I've got a complaint, it's the release date...past Christmas! I'll probably be getting him in the 2nd week of January 2017.

Positives:

1. Less partsforming
2. Articulated
3. Got a sword
4. No chrome

Neutral:

1. headmaster feature

Negative:

1. Not a carbon copy of the original (which is, in some way a positive)

Just got some confirmation about a couple neat things pertaining to the new Godbomber figure.

The Transformers Generations 2017 book says that Godbomber's Headmaster is not based on anything preexisting. It's a new design.

And according to Figure King #227, Godbomber is fully transformable from trailer mode to robot mode and back without any partsforming involved (minus the Headmaster, of course). Only when he becomes armor for Ginrai does he need some parts to be removed, but not between his vehicle and robot modes. 8-)

Meaning as compared to the original that required partsforming for both modes, it's only the power up that requires it. That's already a given based on the hinges seen in the hobbymag images. Seems to be following what the "original" Godbomber design intended but was eventually scraped.

From Takara:

The Hasbro edition has that toy-inspired app on his shoulders, but looks like Takara has more paint and better attention to detail...

I very much prefer the blue upper arms on the Takara version, as the gray ones on the Hasbro's version make Soundwave look like he's wearing a sleeveless shirt with big flappy shoulder pads set on his bare arm. Takara's blue upper arms, however, blend more coherently with the shoulders to make them look more like the shoulders and upper arms go together in a more solid, wholesome look.

The blue chest door is also nicer looking.

We have a bunch of new news about the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends toyline, too. First up, via fellow Seibertronian fenrir72 - sourced from Transformers fans Oscar Fung and Kenny Tse on Facebook - we have in hand images of Headmaster LG-39 Brainstorm, which differs from the Titans Return release in a number of points. Check it out below!

The second Takara Tomy Transformers Legends piece of news today is an image from the official Twitter account - shared by our own Cyberpath - showing the differences between the Hasbro and Takara versions of Leader class Soundwave, other than the omnipresent red vs yellow visor. Check it out below!

The new facesculpt on Brainstorm looks so crisp and clear. A sharp-looking retool, if I do say so myself.

Sometimes when I see a repaint/retool of a figure from Takara Tomy, I have this "Oh my gosh that is a million times better!" reaction. This, not so much. Now the difference between the TItans return Blaster and Takara/Tomy Legends Blaster are much more drastic than this.

In general that's happening a lot with the Titans Return figures. A few exceptions to the rule like Blurr aside, Takara's takes are either barely different; or are only drastically different due to representing a different version of the character rather than just being better - ie Takara's Brainstorm is very different to SDCC Brainstorm, but you can't really say one's better than the other when one's a very good representation of Headmasters Brainstorm and the other is a very good representation of MTMTE Brainstorm.

Being a stoopid carbon based bag of flesh who just isn't satisfied ( I did managed to keep Twincast from popping out insistently by careful angling 45 degrees with his neck groove to the neck clamp)I would have preferred if Broadcast had the black feet of TR Blaster.

I'm 50%/50% on his face being unpainted as the TR Blaster silver paint apps aren't that nicely applied.

Blaster to Broadcast: Different paint apps and decal placements. Different feet

Brainstorm to Brainstorm: Different Headmaster and paint apps plus extra vehicle/weapon. (Not drastic?) :???:

still think the fact they didn't include his iconic handgun is a bit of a let down (besides other issues I might have). Takara seem to have tried to address the issue with the silver painted muzzle but it's still far away... at least there's the shoulder cannon.

Another shoulder cannon would have had broken the bank for Takara...major bummer!

Alfes2010 has the first blog up for LG35 Super Ginrai, displaying the Vehicle and Zone (base) modes:

Transformers Legends LG35 Super Ginrai: Vehicle Mode & Zone Mode

Parts of the accompanying comic are included (with a rough Google Translation) and a certain enemy makes its debut (HINT: It's not Overlord). Don't try everything he's attempted, especially fitting Goshooter inside the trailer!

Man that extra rifle looks cool. Sorta like the rifle from Ultra Magnus that PM Optimus Prime uses. Hopefully I'll have mine soon.

I know that. But what happened to him (Ginrai the transtector not the Godmaster) in this "Legends" universe. This happens in between SGMF and TFV.

No special name for his sword unlike Starsaber's Saber blade.

Now I want to know what happened to the sentient transtector Ginrai then? Did he get bombarded by the blackball bomb too? Why didn't this "Ginrai" show up in Victory? Need need need trivia update

Robot Ginrai died and was rebuilt into Victory Leo.

I know that. But what happened to him (Ginrai the transtector not the Godmaster) in this "Legends" universe. This happens in between SGMF and TFV.

I just told you:

He's not in the Legends Universe.

Finally... I was able to log into my PayPal account and pay for the shipping for Super Jinrai. For some reason Paypal was having issues with my password. Had to change it, and let a couple days go by before I could log in.

Can't wait to get him. He looks awesome.

Then wait a few months until God Bomber is released, that's going to be hard.

Wipe is not in the Legends Universe too? What's he doing back bruising up Ginrai? He wasn't affected by the black ball bomb(Wipe I mean)? Someone please translate Vipe's comic too.

So where's the sentient transtector Ginrai then? But if Vipe did resurrect Devil Z, then could those sentient transectors suddenly become non sentient, opposite effect we saw at the end of SGMF? Devil Z said something to that effect that he was responsible for the godmasters coming to life etc etc.......Wish those figs arrive asap and a fan based translation comes out soon.

You asked about Ginrai, not Wipe. Wipe got sent to the Legends Universe. Super robot lifeform God Ginrai didn't.

In. The. G. Nebula. 89! How is that so hard to understand?

Look at him right there, in the middle-right panel:

Human Ginrai = in the Legends World somehow with a brand-spanking new lifeless Super Ginrai Transtector that he's now bonded to.

Living super robot lifeform God Ginrai = in the G Nebula 89 of the main Japanese G1 cartoon universe, still sporting his original Masterforce cartoon body and which he will still have when he goes on to appear in the Victory cartoon.

You did take a look at Alfes' mini spoilers eh? As I'm discussing about Ginrai. In Wipe's comic, Devil Z possessed his transtector. In Alfes' spoilers of the comic, Ginrai is NOW in the Legends universe. Not G Nebula.

OK, maybe a change in viewpoint is needed.

First of all, a recap: at the end of SGMF all Transtectors were given proper life, and separated from their human components. In other words, the Transtector, now a true Super Robot Lifeform, and the human are now considered separate entities (and have separate wiki entries). That's how we got Goshooter with Gō Shūta as a previous Generations release: the living Transtector, and human in one release.

Let's assume the Legends Universe is set before where Victory normally would be, before 2025 (or follows the Manga continuity that has God Ginrai and Victory Leo unrelated). At that point in time, God Ginrai the living Transtector is stationed in G Nebula 89, while the human remains on Earth. The latter stumbles upon a redesigned Transtector in the Legends Universe, and bonds with it.

Of course, this now means there are two separate Ginrais in robotic bodies:

1) the original, now living Transtector
2) the human, that bonded with a new lifeless Transtector

That Ginrai in your pics from Alfes is the human Ginrai with a brand new lifeless Transtector, not the living robot Ginrai born from the human's previous Transtector. The human Ginrai somehow ends up in the Legends World after Masterforce and gets a new Transtector there, while the non-human living robot God Ginrai is at the same time still in his (and the human Ginrai's) native home universe over in the G Nebula 89 with his team of other non-human living robot Autobots. So as JelZe explained, there are now two Ginrais coexisting at the same time.

As I said. I've discussing about human Ginrai who is now in the Legends universe as seen in Alfes' teaser. Never once did I mention that this is the sentient transtector who I've been looking for ever since this line re-introduced the godmaster with the soft fleshy center.The sentient Ginrai has no need of a secondary operator anymore.

As for the theory there are now two godmaster versions, well that's still a theory until Takara clarifies it.
