    Maybe unannounced one step?
    Or cancelled toys just like AOE AD18 and AD19...


    There was also a rumor of Hot rod having an extra weapon, Maybe they gave one gun from Crosshair to HotRoh
    They give the sword of Cogman to Crosshair
    And cogman has...? we will see

    Crosshairs's color is too greenly. Rather crosshairs would be film accurate.

    The Bee almost look like a mini KO of the MPM. in other words good, if unpainted.
    Crosshairs come with 1 blaster and 1 Excalibur?!

    Takara is fixing Optimus Prime. Hence the later release I believe these set for September and Prime is October. They are giving him additional paint apps as well but he will still be the same color from what I'm hearing.

    &
    No DX is Leader Class. Leader Class Megatron is "DX The Last Knight Megatron" and Leader Class Optimus is "DX Caliber Optimus Prime" ;)

    Not really, its more like a reshell of DOTM deluxe class Nitro Bumblebee with deluxe Bumblebees upper body. Check it out bro it's actually quite uncanny! :)

    Yea, I agree. If I collected this line, I would be pretty disappointed with these pics.

    Yeah, a few TFW2005 members/reviewers based in Japan have showed theirs off already to the extent we know the differences between Hasbro and Takara's release. HLJ put out payment requests for those who preordered the figure since nearly a week ago

    Last week caliber prime got all the attention but the wave 2 was released as well.

    The 3 missing numbers might be infernocus and skullitron?

    Then why do we have listings with "DX" in here which clearly aren't Leader-class based on their MSRP?

    There are four DX-figures listed, only one has the price of a Leader-class figure, the other three being two Deluxe-priced toys and one Voyager.

    Maybe the 3rd DX in the line is a second paint job on Ldr Megatron. Another one would be Dragonstorm, and if I had to guess the other 2 smaller priced DX figures possibly might first release Dragonstorm as 2 possible characters in the DX name because they combine together INTO a DX figure. Then later release the box set. That would make some sense. It's not fact though I'm just going by the fact TLK-15 is DX CALIBER OPTIMUS PRIME and TLK-19 is DX MEGATRON (leader class).

    Here's another guess. MAYBE when they finally release TLK-19 DX MEGATRON next month, he will already have a new paint job. And i guess it's possible that all the DX branded releases could be TakaraTomy exclusive paint work. The reason I suggest this is 2,800yen is kinda cheap for a Voyager or half of dragonstorm. Unless they are more deluxe size Maybe Cogman and Nitro Zeus have their own paint or something. CALIBER OPTIMUS is the only one released so far that's Branded DX & he falls under both those categories. Leader and Exclusive paint (amongst other things remolding ect.)

    Much more likely (as in, almost definitely the case) the "DX" denotes a Deluxe/Voyager/Leader as opposed to a One-Step.

    2800 yen seems cheap for a Voyager because it's the price for a Deluxe.
