I am not able to see all of them. Like Evasion Prime isn't showing. The first one I see is Grimlock. Am I missing something?

 

grimlock looks like a raccoon... why didn't they paint his beast eyes though? looks awful.

 

Those silver paint apps on the Leader class Optimus Prime just enough to tempt me to get him.

 

I'm beginning to think grimlock, swoop, and maybe this mysterious slog will be the only dinobots in the movie. I know these decos would never work in the movie-verse. As for the others, crosshairs , jolt and leader prime are very tempting, I'll wait for the inevitable premium rusty deco on evasion prime, and everything else is just meh.

 

I wouldn't mind getting Takara's versions of Evasion Optimus and Leader Grimlock (Black). When are the Takara toys usually available to order? Will they be available in around the same time we are suppose to get the Hasbro ones in the stores?

 

I am slightly disappointed with Crosshairs as we still won't know if Crosshairs has the correct deco or not.

 

What are you talking about here are a couple of pictures of his vehicle form on set View attachment 27432562 View attachment 27432563

Here's a picture I him from the trailer

Here's his hasbro generations figure

Here's his RID one step figure

And here's his takara advanced line figure


So far every deco we've seen is pretty consistent.

 

Most of these does not have vast different compare to the hasbro ones.

 

We don't know if the Takara version lacks the pattern on the right car side, as the Hasbro does - which is inaccurate to the real vehicle.

Takara's pictures don't show off that side of the car and robot, so my guess is they're intentionally hiding it and it's an error that's on their version as well.

 

Too awesome!

 

It's called Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Get that.

On another subject, I have to yet again mention that I'm sick of people complaining about prices. "OH TAKARATOMY YOU ARE SO EXPENSIVE", "OH HASBRO, YOUR PRICES ARE ALSO INFLATED". As I mentioned before, it is now not only cheaper for me to buy the Japanese figures, but SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper as of the new movie. This shit-hole called New Zealand is getting screwed a lot harder than you. Seriously people, stop whinging about the price. It's annoying.

 

These look too good, I may have to go Takara all the way for this movie. I'm not too bothered about Ratchet, Devastator and Protoform Prime but the rest are pure winners. So who's wave two?
Leader Grimlock, Voyager Hound and Galvatron, Deluxe Mirage and Soundwave, and I guess Drift, Slash and Strafe? Who else?
I really hope Takara Drift has a screen accurate Black with Blue trim deco...

 

Notice anything, people?

I think Crosshairs will get good deco treatment on both sides of the vehicle.

Congratulations, Takara. You've got my money once more.

 

What is 'AD'? Is that the Japanese equivalent of 'AOE'?

 

Negative. AD is their way of writing "Advanced Line".

 

Their equivalent of AOE Generations

 

Maybe Reprolabels will come out with a set for the Hasbro versions...

 

Glad that I got a few ROTF leader class OPs. The value is gonna go up, up, up with this new crap AOE OP toy!
