    Yeah dummy, I'm not high, I'm obviously divulging the type of news ppl on these boards supposedly crave, yet here you are being an asshole when I clearly wouldn't make this up - it's at an old-timey ice cream shop in San Leandro, CA - Clancey's - these are no "he tell me" rumors, go see for yourself - I'm sure there's plenty of board members in the Bay that can verify the veracity of what I'm saying ...

    I don't think anyone thinks you're making it up. I think we all just think you are confused. Very confused.

    Like you see Legends class TR Gnaw and think that's what people mean when they say Legends Sharkticon. Which obviously, it isn't. And maybe you see Legends class CW Rodimus and think that's what people mean by Legends Hot Rod. Which, obviously, it isn't.

    If you were lying, it would be the dumbest, most ridiculous lie ever... for no reason. So I don't think anyone thinks that's the case.


    But yeah, clearly you are wrong and misunderstood what you think you saw. Other than mock-ups for promo pics, these figures haven't even been produced yet for anyone to sell anywhere. It's not the end of the world. Let's all have a nice laugh about it and move on.

    All I can do is post pics later today and let u guys decide ... thinking abt it, maybe the guy painted, modified the american releases to the point they looked almost identical to the legends versions, I'll let the experts make the conclusions ...

    That seems most likely, the target masters should be a clear sign.

    Plot twist, there was a DeLoreon parked next to a blue police telephone box next to the store...

    I really wish Hot Rod's hood wasn't clear. That is a bafflingly weird move. And I could do without the two-tone spoiler. But I love everything else about it. Colors are better, silver paint is great, love the paint on the windshield. And, of course, the Targetmaster. Very excited with my pre-order.

    Well at least with the spoiler you might be able to get rid of it yourself(assuming it stays painted on the final version).

    I don't understand the clear chest on Hot Rod, it looks off and doesn't match up with toy or toon, so what exactly are they going for here?

    Kup looks amazing, though, and so does Recoil.

    You could probably paint the underside of the clear chest orange, it might look pretty cool?

    Probably to make it more visually distinct from the rest of his chest. Since the yellow and orange tend to blend in, especially if there isn't some kind of outline around it.

    Maybe, but they could have done that with the traditional flame tampo that is usually present such as what was used with MP Hot Rod and previous releases of the Classic Rodimus mold in Japan.

    Would have preferred a gold flame tampo like the Henkei and bigger, gold chromed spoiler, but I also like the translucent flame. They could have painted silver underneath the orange translucent plastic.

    My god these look amazing!!!

    So glad I jumped on the cheap preorders when I did.

    My love for the Takara versions grow stronger with each release.

    Man, these look great! I even like the translucent flame effect on Hot Rodimus' hood chest. It's probably not accurate to anything but it suits his bombastically flashy alt mode design. Glad to see LG Kup having more teal than gray.
