Shockwave labs gonna have to make a \"kit\" that\'s just blue hands, and y\'all gonna buy it for like 20 bucks.

 

But Takara always did their original TF relayed scratch build new molds before. Lmao

 

Im good with this, the blue balances. I hope this is final.

 

i'll keep saying it: where the FUCK is that Armada Prime mold they showed off ages ago?!?!

 

It would be so damn cool if they did an Armada Megatron as well. My transformers collection has always felt incomplete because there's never been a good enough version of my favorite Megatron. Takara could surprise all of us and just release an entire toyline of updated figures of the entire Armada cast and not just Optimus.

I know right?

 

If it includes Roller, everyone probably will.

 

Okay, a "Recycled" mold it is then.

I loved G1 but the scale was anything but consistent. So the Legends were the right height for me and I'm gonna miss'em.

 

That's not what the in package comparisons show.



He looks like he'll be about as big as the old Generations Windcharger Scout.

 

Optimus' joints and biceps are now blue. He's blue in all the wrong places.

 

theres nothing "recycled" about the mold. hun-grr is an entirely new mold that shares a basic engineering skeleton with silverbolt. they dont share any parts (and if they do it is only minor internal parts). bumblebee is likely to be the same scenario

 

I'm going for a steam locomotive or submarine Megatron, otherwise reissue the Siege Megatron for it.

They're keeping it classified, tiga?

I'm not.

That will work. Just not to completely replicate the bug a lot.

Mold? If that happens Cliff and Bee would look like identical twins. Unless we get Bumper too.

~Any old iron, any old iron, any any any old IRO-O-O-ON...~

I can secure him just fine for my Modulator squad in progress.

Then retool it is.

But what if Earthrise Battletrap happens? He might share engineering with Siege Skytread and backwards compatibility with his Power of the Primes self. Just saying.

If that's the case, I'll wait for the other Mods as well.

Just wait until we see more in wave 2.

Me too.

I was been thinking about it too. Titan Raiden, no compatibility to Generations Combiner System (I coined that term because it covers Combiner Wars and beyond but within the Generations line)

Language. Just kidding. I also think they hid it back just to do more adjustments before they can show again.

I wonder what are the upcoming conventions for until February...

 

Same goes for Snaptrap.

 

Is it okay to predict that the engineering will be shared aka recycled?

Honestly it doesn't really matter since I literally just bought another TR Bee off eBay whose head I plan on swapping with Roadburn's after I paint Bee's head Red to make him my long overdue CJ.

Thus I'll be skipping both ER versions and sticking with Legends class Minibots indefinitely.

For 60 bucks, he shouldn't have shared/borrowed/rented/ubered/recycled/reincarnated engineering either.

His Voyager class mold should've been brand spankin new IMO!

 

If I have interests in Cliffjumper, I can get one.

 

Wait, who said YoungPrime would be in anyone's way?

 

We now know pretty much for a fact that unpainted gray hands, and even moreso the blue joints, isn't final. We've seen multiple in-hand final samples from multiple separate people that show those unpaintable plastic joint pieces to be dark gray, and the hands and codpiece painted blue. What Takara's showing off here is the same seemingly pretty early prototype (complete with trailer hitch all on one leg rather than split between the two) that they used in their stock images that we now know to be inaccurate.

You're not at all taking into account the fact that Cliffjumper's long feet are making him look taller than he actually is, and the perspective on Cliffjumper is from above while the perspective on Bee is from slightly below eye-level, further confusing matters.

 

Oh I'm aware, but one can still dream, this is still by far the most confusing reveal ever with three variations, in hand pics different from in box pics, Hasbro different from Tamara pics very odd.

 

My guess is it'll be shown at Winter Wonderfest since I think it's being worked on at a slower pace since it's LG-EX instead of a mainline item. Priority right now seems to be Earthrise with LG-EX stuff announced on the side.

 

I'm kinda thinking of getting ER Cliffjumper to be er Prime's "little buddy" in my collection.

I also still want to get Ironworks.

 

Fans: Hey guys, what happened to Armada Pri-
