    At this point we will see the last wave form POTP under Takara to be released at 2020.

    I'll be honest, this surprises me! I saw the Deluxes and Voyagers going to a revived Unite Warriors and the rest to Legends!

    Pleased that both leaders are in the first lot of releases. We won't have to wait long now to see which we prefer.

    This is nearly identical to Hasbro's first wave. Surprised to see POTP not fall under the Legends banner.

    No Dinobots, Dreadwind (who I expect to be Buster in Japan) Starscream or Skrapnel

    Edited post. Thanks for the heads up. Dinobots are probably going to be a box set if that's the case, Buster and Hydra might get a two-pack release, and a Shrapnel rerelease seems unlikely for Takara.

    Uh oh. The new numbering system makes me worried.

    What also worries me is how they are releasing these Primes - so no G1-accurate Pretenders?

    Confirms my initial suspicion that combiners will be released as UW.

    Also interesting is the fact that these are not part of the LG lineup, but a separate line (much like some previous Hasbro Generations figures were released in the TAV line). Jazz is the only surprise there, I didn't expect them to release any deluxes as is.

    The TakaraTomy versions are now cheaper than Hasbro SG's MSRPs...

    This is what i get out of this list.

    The prime masters will not be different then the US versions. I was kind of hoping the takara version's would have actual faces

    The fact that Jazz is the only deluxe and there are no voyagers listed at all tells me lots of box sets are on the way and Jazz is the odd man out.

    Optimus prime is the same price as rodimus so im not expecting much diffrent then the Hasbro versions.

    Apart from Slash, the Dinobots are nowhere to be seen. Probably a sign of another box set incoming.

    Jazz being the only deluxe means he definitely has no team, it also means he might get extra Fantastic paint apps.

    I wonder if they'll use this release to somehow homage Pretender Jazz or Action Master Jazz. Or both - repainted POTP pretender shell on a skateboard :D 

    Since the price is the same as LG releases which come with targetmasters, I feel they'll do something to make him worth the price.
