Oh dear. I think you just uncovered a continuity hiccup between Andrew Hall's "Metrowars" manga and Hayato Sakamoto's Legends manga.fenrir72 wrote:Didn't Twincast take over as Commander of Autobot City in HM (and Metro Wars)? So the Hm of Broadcast is a shoe in for Takara Metroflex. Too bad you can't connect the play sets to the latter.
Speaking of which, Metro Wars happened after the Legends timeline and it was Twincast who commanded Metroflex against Metrotitan.
So somewhere along the way, the mass shifting transtector of his will be lost and he'll be back to normal size.
Considering that the base mold doesn't physically resemble any iteration of Getaway or Lightfoot (being just Chromedome's body in Getaway colors), with the head being the only aspect that really looks anything like the Getaway or Ligthfoot, but which Takara would probably end up retooling anyway since it doesn't already look like Lightfoot's animation model head, I really can't see the media-slavish Takara doing their own release of Lightfoot in the same vein as Hasbro's Getaway Breakaway.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Does anyone think there's a possibility that if Takara does Lightfoot, they'll throw a curveball and deco the figure like MTMTE getaway?

Takara Chromedome, while meant to be in more cartoon-based colors than otherwise, has a deco that is a little more closely-matched to IDW Chromedome's Shadowplay body than the deco of Hasbro Chromedome is.
So in a way, this release of the Hasbro head for Takara's Chromedome gives people an even more Shadowplay-accurate Chromedome than Hasbro's Chromedome does by itself.

We're just waiting for Astrotrain, Lio Convoy, and God Bomber to drop...and then what? Is Takara going to put Legends on hiatus for a while to concentrate on The Last Knight? I would have expected some more reveals by now, even if they won't come out for several months.
I hope we at least get a few more holes filled too, like a Legends Eject repaint, Legends Buzzsaw, Rumble, and Frenzy, and some of the other recent Hasbro Legends releases like Brawn, Gnaw, and Kickback (thought I could see them being relegated to the Adventure line instead, like Powerglide, Cosmos, and the other two Insecticons were). It'll be a shame if Takara just skips to the new mold stuff, like Hot Rod, Kup, and Sixshot.
