    Mostly. Still Cloudburst's robot mode though, and not Micronus. Micronus is the green on Cloudburst's back.

    I expect Takara will paint Cloudburst as Pheonix in a more show accurate color scheme. I'd hope Takara would remold Cloudburst so that he has Phoenix's head on his back instead of a Matrix.

    Takara Metalhawk should be a repaint of Landmine's shell, like the Hasbro release is but with the Titans Return Metalhawk head.

    I was saying that last night. Give the Prime Masters a face and pack them with a Transector and their shell.

    I meant they'd add that extra touch of G1 accuracy. Going by Bass X0's Cloudburst/Micronus pics above, I'm starting to think that really is the plan.

    Takara's 'Power of the Primes' equivalent may not even feature the original Primes.

    I saw it. It's a repaint of Landmine's shell. Take a closer look at the leaked pics.

    The legs and arms look to be the only actual shared molding, the belt area is shaped different, the chest looks different and the head is different. Also wouldn't landmine technically be the repaint since metalhawk is wave one and landmine is wave 2

    <squints> Hard to be 100% sure at that definition but I can see what Bass X0 is getting at.

    It might well be a slight remold and I don't have the image in front of me right now to check again, but when I saw it when it was shown, I noted that there were similarities that I thought it was just a simple repaint. I wouldn't be surprised; they need to be repainted.

    There's surprisingly few in the Titanmasters: Skytread, Clobber & Overboard and the one remould Ramhorn.

    I'm just trying to figure out what other possibilities they would do for Movie Best. No doubt they may do Sideswipe or Blackout. I bet they will do a repaint of the Fallen with the removable face. They may rerelease the AOE repainted Stinger. What else do you think?

    It's definitely a remold. Metalhawk has the fin on his helmet and Landmine doesn't. The chests may be different too, but that all may be one part.

    That G2 Megatron. Wow. I know it's not the intent... but that shot of the Titan Master riding the dragon gives me a Beast Wars vibe... Purple Beast Megs riding his TM2 form... kinda like how that e-Hobby Bat Convoy rides what is an homage to Optimal Optimus.

    Actually... the dragon is supposed to be Savage/Noble, who came to being after BW Megatron discarded his dragon beast mode. So it may actually be the intent.

    Ah. Haven't gone out of my way to watch Beast Machines again, so I forgot about that character's origin.

    Yeah, I'm going to imagine ...somehow... that BW Megatron is partnered with G2 Megatron using Savage/Noble as a weapon.

    I do wish that G2 Megatron had a G2 insignia. Or better yet, was called Archforce. Just pre-ordered him online anyway.

    Agreed. A G2 insignia should have been used. There's plenty of time to get that oversight corrected!

    I prefer to stick with the official names.

    I want Sky Shadow remolded into Thunderwing and Bludgeon. Thunderwing would be the jet and his head would transform into Bludgeon who has his own Bludgeon colored tank to ride around in, The legs of the combined form would resemble Thunderwing's, and not Bludgeon.
