Takara Tomy just announced the following items now up for preorder at TFsource:
Transformers Generations Japan - TG17 Fall of Cybertron - Blaster & Steeljaw
Transformers Generations Japan - TG18 Fall of Cybertron - Skywarp
The Japanese doesn’t say anything that interesting. Just that the Blaster is using the US version coloring in the images, which will vary on the Japanese version. The Skywarp says the coloring will be like the skywarp colors shown in the illustration, but the form of the Starscream toy. Pretty obvious stuff… both set for a May release!

I guess I better preorder Skywarp just in case. At least he's not an exclusive.

Skywarp was awesome in WFC. I was disappointed when he didn't make an appearance (rather, an official one). A Thundercracker repaint would be the cream of the crop!

They haven't said anything about it being an exlusive yet. This could be regular retail for all we know.

Wow....looks like Hasbro's playing this game with the Seekers again....
Should I even participate with buying Starscream? He is a little small.

I wonder if they would consider a slight re-mold of the tail section. In WfC, Skywarp and Starscream had triangular tail except when turbo flying, when the tail would split to a Y. Thundercracker was the opposite with a Y tail and a triangle when turbo. It would be cool to see the Y tail configuration in one of the character toys...

I think he was referring more to the fact that we almost never get all of the seekers (at least the three "important" ones) on retail release in the US. It honestly boggles my mind.

Blaster: Well, don't ask about the G1 version's scale, since Diaclone and Microchange didn't go together at that time!
Skywarp: Get TC, and we get the Year 1 seekers!

OKay, I blame all of you who are buying this figure for the endless stream of repaints of various characters over the years. If you had actually demanded original molds for each character, we may not have an endless parade of repains...

...GIMME.

Why would anyone want an original mold when this is what he looks like in the games?First-Aid wrote:OKay, I blame all of you who are buying this figure for the endless stream of repaints of various characters over the years.

Um, all of their tailfins made a triangular shape when boosting in jet mode/split and angled in halves when hovering.
