I wonder if the Takara Powerglide will be better than the Hasbro one? Because not only that mold is all floppy in plane mode, mine felled from the shelf and one of his tailfin is gone forever.

Great box art, I wish we got stuff like that

Mine isn't floppy. Sometimes the tail splits, but it isn't all that bad.
Still, even if everything fit together nice and tight I'd be cautious of calling it better. Takara Tomy remolded the Insecticons so they'd have a flat surface where they could put those round stickers on their chests, I imagine Powerglide and Cosmos got the same treatment.

TFyuki doesn't rest! As a follow-up to his Powerglide Tweet earlier today, he now brings us Transformers Adventure TAV-20 Cosmos (or Adams) in and out of package! He appears to have a more G1 toy accurate coloring as opposed to Hasbro's Legends Cosmos. Have a look at the pics below, and if you don't get lost in his blue eyes then head to the Energon Pub for some great discussion. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for our ever expanding Galleries and all your Transformers News!

Not a fan of Legends? Obviously you haven't handled one then. Cosmos is the shining star of an already amazing line. You're seriously missing out if you pass on this mold.SillySpringer wrote:Looks good, although I am not a legends fan, still looks good.

I drink coffee if I want. ;P
I actually have been tempted to get Cosmos, the original version of the generations mold. And maybe even Swerve.

That shocked me too. I like it though. We are getting Takara approved English names for our cataloguing pleasure. That further cements Shrapnel being the name for the Takara toy.
He is so good I had to make an exception in my upcoming Top 5 Scout Class figures to include him. He isn't a scout figure per say but he fits the description and initial mission statement of that class perfectly.

This mold is certainly the best Cosmos but I just wish it was bigger. Maybe Voyager's stretching it but I wouldn't mind a Deluxe. He's just too dinky compared to my main TF figures and I have no desire to get any other smaller ones.

Remember the flak the super sized Seaspray got? That one was supposedly an upgrade of the original G1 Seaspray.
Anyway, being part of the TAV line, anyone notice that he does not come with the interactive decal thingie? They couldn't find a spot for him?

Super sized? The Voyager one from a few years back? I had that figure. It was a fantastic update and at a nice size. Powerglide too (though I never had that one but it was nice to finally see a bit more sense in scale).
I like the extra detail you get with the larger figures though. Like if Cosmos here was even a Deluxe he might get much better looking forearms with decent hands and not so obvious screws...
