New Gallery: Transformers Legends LG-13 Megatron

So Seibertron, it appears you prefer his cannon backwards as well? I like the look of that end better, but I don't like how it seems a little stubby. I'm constantly flipping it back and forth depending on which way I look at it.

To me, this guy doesn't look much better than the original.

I think that the Hasbro one looks better. The extra red adds contrast and breaks up all of the silver.

An added bonus is that Takara's Legends LG13 Megatron actually is the (Japanese) G1 cartoon Megatron in yet another new (post-G2) body.

The silver paint on the Hasbro version is a darker shade than the Takara version. The Hasbro version photographs better because of this (at least with my lighting setup). The only thing I really like better on the Takara version is that the shoulders and neck don't use the red plastic, which really irks me on the Hasbro version. I really wish Hasbro and Takara had figured out something with his knees so that he could do some better action poses than, well, just standing there basically.

As San Diego Comic Con 2015 is just round the corner, Seibertron.com is proud the present the second exclusive Hasbro Transformers set debuting at and exclusive to the event: the Combiner Hunters three-pack of Chromia, Arcee and Windblade - of which we first saw official images here!

The set includes the three previously released figures, under the Generations line, of the same characters (which you can find here, here and here) but with new paintjobs each and accessories borrowed from other figures in the lines so far, to reflect their appearance in the IDW Publishing Combiner Hunters one shot. Check out the warrior-esque new incarnations of the assassin, bodyguard and Cityspeaker below, and click on any image for the full show!

Comic-Con Exclusives Combiner Hunters Chromia

FYI - on the individual figure galleries, I think Acree's is not correct. There is mainly box art for all 3 figures. The Chromia and Windblade galleries look correct.

There's one comparison shot that I forgot to take last night before my flight ... Arcee's hands have been changed again. She now has Chromia's hands (ironically TFP Arcee's hands) to accommodate the new accessory she has instead of the previous hands that were kind of abysmal on this figure. I think this makes the first figure to ever get 3 different sets of hands on a mold.

I'm not complaining here, I love the Combiner Hunters retools, but their weapons are bigger than they are.

Taking a break from the San Diego Comic Con 2015 news just for a second, Seibertron.com is happy to present a mixed bunch of galleries from the past to accompany a more recent Transformers release: take a look below at the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends Gelshark (repaint of SkyByte), and its assorted Car Robots minions/accomplices Guido, Gaskunk and Gushar!

What the galleries, which you can view by clicking on any of the images below, also include are comparisons between the newly photographed Takara toys and the previous Hasbro ones, pointing out the differences in paintjobs most of all. So take some time to browse through the past of the Transformers franchise, if you will. We'll be back to SDCC soon enough.
