Think of what?

Yup, which aside from the chrome on Godbomber's sword, cannon tip and combined mode chest; seems to be the only changes made to the original releases.

The windows aren't translucent the entire front of the cab is. Which means everything else is painted. Yay for inevitable paint chipping...

So yo want Takara to create a separate modl, one for the wind shields and one for the cab? Might as well turn it die-cast like the original (also will have paint chipping)

Is that what I said? No it's not. You should really learn to mind your own business and stop putting words in people's mouths just because you don't agree with it.

I thought about this....but even more about more room for factory paint errors and sloppy lines or blotches of paint by the windows. Im a frequent takara buyer and while many times I get a perfect paintjob, ive gotten duds more than once. Im glad I got the first release. I dont care about random chrome or headmasters without proper bodies to put them on.

Depends on how durable the paint is. TF paint seems to fall into one of two categories: Stronger than steel and will not chip unless you're actually trying to wreck it (Galaxy Force Galvatron) or so weak that looking at it funny will make it peel (MP-36 Megatron, the black detailing on ROTF scout class Dead End, etc). There is no middle ground.
It would have made more sense, IMO, to mold the windows as a separate clear piece that fits behind the red plastic of the cab (HasTak has done this in the past- IIRC Energon Barricade does it with his cab) but that would have required extensive retooling. Hopefully it'll be fine, but in any event, be careful with him.

Oh those are nice. I would love to get this shiny God Ginrai as the centre piece of a masterforce shelf. Which would be almost all customs. Lol.

Every month we get a snippet of what will come next from Takara and now that we have all the stock images for the most recent Legends reveals, such as Misfire, it is now time for more announcements. As previously hinted, Targetmaster Slugslinger is one of these anouncements, completing the trio. He is LG-55. Below you will see the upcoming Legends coded with numbers 54-57 along with a reissue of Masterpiece Black Convoy (MP 10B). This was found on the Planet Iacon Facebook page. Also as predicted, there is still no sign of redecos in the Legends line, so still no Lightfoot.
MP-10B Black Convoy (Reissue)
LG-54 Bumblebee and Axel suit Spike (Legends Sized Bumblebee figure with Titan Master)
LG-55 Targetmaster Slugslinger
LG-56 Perceptor
LG-57 Octane
MP-10B Black Convoy (Reissue)

I guess that's the Takara release of the Rebirth Hasbro Cerebros head. Whoever said that, awesome call.

So Takara is choosing to use Octane instead of Octone. The Takara name for Octane....alright

As well as "Bumble" instead of "Bumblebee". The news story just used the Hasbro names for the TFs.

I have been wanting to add an MP-10B to my collection for awhile. Now I will be able to do it without the ridiculous eBay prices. The Legends releases sound like worthy additions too.

To everyone calling Spike for Bumblebee, have some cookies 
As for the mold used, I'm not gonna wager a guess.
And no "Battle Convoy" version for the Octane mold? Most called that too
btw It looks like TakaraTomy got the regular trademark for Octone back. Back in Henkei, the character's name was "Destron Octone".
