Right, I know, the forks, but you don't touch those to rotate the assembly around. You turn it by the upper part that has the Windscreen on it, the handlebar area.

 

With the Roundtable news mentioning the design team didnt want to comment on things, I just wanted to come back to this thread and help keep the dream alive.

 

If he's in TRU's computers, is he a TRU exclusive? That would suck.

 

I wonder how the Cosmos shoulderpad is gonna stick on there.

 

This is what I'm curious about as well. Kinda hoping he's just an online exclusive to e-tailers, like quickslinger & brakeneck were last year. We found out that news last march, so maybe we'll know more in a month or so.

 

Most likely he's no different than Superion who's mostly online here and is on the shelves in Canadia.

 

Even if Computron turns out to be a TRU exclusive I am fine as long as they confirm its actually being released. I was bit annoyed as well that Toy Fair mentioned nothing on it.

 

All of the boxed sets so far have been available to specialty stores as well.

 

TRU isn't a deal breaker, but Amazon would be cheaper for me.

 

I'm expecting it to be a TRU Exclusive as such. Companies never display figures exclusive to one store at ToyFair.

 

Entertainment Earth's Platinum RiD Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock say "Hello!"

 

It's also possible that they just didn't bother, as it wouldn't fit into their big TR reveals. They were selling TR to the industry, any possible Computron is as good as sold.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just quietly announced, or even just solicited without any real announcement.

 

Hopefully if TakTom is planning a boxset we'll find out about it before this set is released. I have the other TakTom sets on their way to me, and would much rather keep my sets limited to one company if possible.

If not, then I'm all in for this instead.

 

I wonder if shifting to boxed sets would mean Hasbro falls closer in line with Takara's. It wouldn't be a main retail presence and would likely have a bit of a premium attached.

At best, Takara may only do slightly different paint. But moldwise they may be identical going forward.

 

Personally my main concern is uniformity with my sealed UW boxsets, but I'm also curious as to what changes there could possibly be between the sets if TakTom does indeed make one.

 

Hasbro might add the 6th member legends figure while Takara leaves out.

 

I think that combiner wars is going to not go out with a bang but a whimper at botcon were they will. Have the combiner wars banner with all the character art were Computron and liokiaser will be added . and then they will be announced

 

I didn't expect any changes between Takara and Hasbro, but that was before I knew Quickslinger was painted differently. I suppose they could do the all red and magenta cartoon deco. But I'm with T-Hybrid in this one, no way they make a new mold.

 

Seeing as how Takara went out of their way to remold Devastator, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Computron a new head, at the very least. They do have that cartoon accuracy thing going on.

Unfortunately, that would almost certainly mean that their Computron will be missing Scrounge.

 

^ I don't think any of TakaTom's UW giftsets actually includes any Commander Class figures, which is often the 6th member of the team.
