It might just be me, but that gun kinda looks it's formed out of the individual bots' guns.

It's getting easier and easier to get both. With all the differences between Hasbro and Takara they're pretty much different combiners. Gotta say though I'm not loving the Rook remold like I thought I would. I think the alt mode is going to look unfinished with his hands just blatantly poking out, at least hound/swindle covered theirs with the jeep canopy.

Wow, looks like a proper Silverbolt remold complete with new Computron chest, not just a new head. This is definitely looking like the one to get for me.

Me too. This is a far more complete retool of the silverolt mold than the Hasbro version. That head looks awesome, it is so much different than the Superion head. And I love their take on Afterburner as an arm. It really seems like Hasbro and Takara are giving that arm different official transformations. And that Strafe looks awesome!
Its on BBTS now but I cant see the listing. Can anyone tell me if it has a price that is similar to the standard releases of TTmall exclusive releases?

They're asking $160 but this isn't a TTMALL exclusive so I'd just wait for an import site.

Sadly, it's the TT Mall price.
Still pre-ordered it, though.

this might be the first UW I get....

Same. I thought about it a lot this weekend. I think I will skip Bruticus and go for this guy. I don't mine hasbros it's really cool but I should give a Takara combiner a shot and this guy is different enough all over to get. However I will probably shell out for the PE hands and feet. I caved and got all the others and they're pretty solid

That is the TTMall exclusive price. Takara has yet to reveal if it is or not, but BBTS putting it at that price instead of 125$ means other import wites wont be listing it.
Sad day.

The msrp that was advertised in that Japanese magazine that showed the silhouettes of the individual bots was 15000 yen, the standard price for a regular retail combiner.

Both TTmall exclusives and non exclusive have the SAME MSRP. But the non exclusives are sold at a 30-20% discount of that MSRP at retail while the exclusvies are sold at the MSRP.
As odd as that may sound, in Japan, the MSRP is not indicative of the actual retail price.

I'm liking it but that wheel in the air still looks silly to me.
Out of curiosity, did Japan ever get translated editions of the marvel g1 comics? Just wondering if that was also the reason for ditching scrounge. At least, another reason other than this is their standard release pattern.

That Nosecone looks to be a heavy remold of Rook rather than Brawl.

They did not. They got the English versions imported through specialty shops, but no official domestic release in Japan in either language. The main reason for ditching Scrounge is the same as their ditching Powerglide for Superion, Blackjack for Menasor, small Groove for Defensor, Rodimus for Convoy Grand Prime, Viper for Grand Galvatron, and Shockwave for Bruticus: The G1 combiners were five-man bands with membership rosters set in stone and didn't have tiny accessory sixth members. Takara seems to want to stay true to that.ZeroWolf wrote:Out of curiosity, did Japan ever get translated editions of the marvel g1 comics?

The silhouette posted earlier seems to move the drill down to the where the robot's feet are in alt mode. I'm not sure if it detaches and partsforms, or if there's a hinge underneath it that folds it all the way down.

I hate the skinny arms on that particular mold, but I have to agree. Wheeljack is even closer than Breakdown.

Yes, they are. That's the only thing I don't like about this set.
To be fair though, CW Wheeljack has by far the closest vehicle mode to G1 Lightspeed out of all the available car molds in Combiner Wars...
