Twitter user kinoko51 has gotten his hands on the highly-anticipated Takara Transformers: Legends fembots (Arcee, Chromia, and Windblade), and has supplied us with a few in-hand pics of the ladies, giving us a nice, clear look at the figures and their packaging.
Check them out after the break!

Honestly, Wind Blade's manga storyline is terrible.
Her memory wiped out by Metroplex, now she turn into a stereotypical bimbo.
Yah, Yah, this story she isn't well known Caminus‐born Cybertronian. She is literally Nijika's little sister, and kinda evil. but still she's intelligence being, mindwipe isn't good solution. Wind Blade became bimbo feels like against nowadays IDW's movement to me.

Moi as well. I thought I would wake up to a shipped email, but nah the status is still stuck at "begun shipment"

"American people are so sexist!"
"Japanese people are so sexist!"
…I just like the figures. They look nice. Windblade more than the other two.

So chute those fembot girls and chibi beasties. Lololol
Starscream Gaga
Yeah, I'm starting to get worried.

Has anyone's HLJ preorder shipped yet?

I have no desire for the toys but I WANT THOSE MANGA!

The kawaii-level is over 9000! Love how the comics included Road Rage, Robo Sari (from TFA), evil SG Sari, Slipstream, Thunderblast, Strika, Nightbird, and the kimono G1 callback from the Sunbow toon. (Really hope Takara takes the Windblade mold and gives us Slipstream eventually.)
The posing and proportions are gratuitous, but it fits the silly Charlie's Angels thing going on with the fembots and the chibi SD cuteness of the Beast Wars characters (ha, Tigatron landing fortuitously into Chromia's chestplate…. at least it helped cushioned his fall ).
Folks complaining about the pack-in comics really have no sense of humor, methinks. It's not like they're indicative of the toys' actual proportions.
LegendAntihero
Yeah, that breast plate looks really big
Autovolt 127
Oh Pffew….I was worried there for a sec.
Bravo Takara Bravo.

Windblade's looking so good. Really hoping I get the payment request soon.

It comes from Legends Whirl's pack-in manga. She, along with Rattrap, Cheetor and Tigatron, were converted into "warriors" through something offscreen in which she receives the so-called "armor". Rattrap ends up Transmetal, while Cheetor and Tigatron end up in Japanese outfits so they all can take down Roadbuster and Tankor (someone really needs to translate these into English).
T-Ai apparently kept her "armor"……because continuity? (and Japan)
Rakzo
Well, I must say that now I'm kinda tempted about getting that Chromia. She has just as many paint apps as the Hasbro version but there's something about the combination of colors that appeals to me.
Still thinking that Arcee is plain as hell though.

I actually seem to like the Generations version better than the Takara version. It may just be the distance from the camera, or some other abnormality, but the lipstick effect on Arcee looks like she threw it on in the morning when she woke up late for work.
Feralstorm
The artist sure likes to draw Chromia busty, eh? (more exaggerated than the others, that is)
Strangely, I think I was more put off by the image of bikini-fied Ai from Car Robots than anything else in this manga.
IgnikaMarcus
No, here stomach was just elongated, leaving more space between her roof chest ans her waist.

Even though I don't like the Takara decos as much, my comic collector mentality is combining with my toy collector mentality to make me want these.

I'm digging those comics. Makes me want to cuddle both of those cute gals.
