    Hisashi Yuki has posted an image of Legends Tankor in package on his Twitter account.

    Unlike the other Legends released so far, Tankor's box art reuses Hasbro's.

    Tankor will be released on 29 Nov.

    I think the less-bluey plastic looks better, but overall the changes compared to the Hasbro version feel very minor and insignificant to me. Definitely one of those 'not worth the Takara version' molds - although the problems this toy has were never the paintjob to begin with. :)

    That packaging is very deceptive. Makes him look too much like a voyager.

    I'm glad that TakTom is back to boxing their deluxes, even if only for this line. :)

    Boxes are nice, feels very AEC. I like the extra silver paint on their version of Tankor.

    As a side note, Tankor is one of my favorite recent deluxes. I was really pleasantly surprised by him. I've never watch BM, and don't really have any opinions about the character, so I didn't expect to like this figure as much as I did. It was just a cute, kinda retro-feeling toy. I think its articulation and proportions are really just, well... fun.

    Considering that the blue on Hasbro's version is the main thing keeping me from getting Tankor, I might have to grab this.

    Takara knocked This one right out of the ball park.

    If I do decide to get Tankor, It will be the Legends version.

    I can kind of see what you mean but these Legends box designs were meant to emulate the old Takara Beast Wars box packaging.

    Between him and Roadbuster, I'm forced to say that their posture is highly dubious.

    Points for trying, though.:thumb

    I like the hasbro tankor paint more than takara I got him soon as he was out. I guess im the minority on who likes the hasbro version and like the signature by the way.

    What's this guy's obbsession with terrible gerwalk modes?

    Tankor looks the same. Little more silvery details, not worth the money.
