yup but people still wanna believe takara will save transformers from the evil clutches of hasbro but in reality takara is continuing to kill the brand in their market

 

What’s this?

 

I hope this does well enough that they continue it and we get Sunstreaker. The Siege Megatron might interest me if it's got a metallic finish like the Netflix deco but more comprehensive, and I'm curious to see what they change on Wheeljack. He'll also tempt me if they give him more accurate hood stripes and a better white color.

 

Is that a siege sandstorm or something?

 

Wonder if these will be available at Amazon Japan?

 

Siege Seeker #10 on my shelf hopefully.  

 

New seeker  , hope it does come out and isnt just a prototype for sparkless seeker even if its just a takara exclusive

 

sunstreaker wasn’t in the cartoon. Do not expect any decoes of characters that weren’t in the trilogy series

and don’t expect more if this does well that’s not how it works with this stuff. If they say they’re only doing 12 then they’re only doing 12. This is from a country that cuts episodes from shows so it fist their episode traditions

 

Now Hasbro\'s playing the P-Bandai game...

 

As much as I hate the show, I really want this Siege Prime. 60 bucks is a REALLY hard ask though...

 

takara and not remotely close to bandais premium bullshit

 

Yikes! 39 AUD for a Deluxe and 75 for a Voyager and that's without tax and shipping. As I suspected, they're too expensive to be worth it. The paint apps make for too subtle improvements for me to feel like I'd be getting my money's worth, whether or not I actually would be and for Optimus in particular, I really don't think I would.

 

Whelp. Unless Hasbro announces a restock for 07 Optimus and Jetfire this month during their Studio Series-themed livestream, I'm gonna have to pray I get employed by the time their preorders get announced and pounce on this at the earliest opportunity.

Do we know if Hasbro Pulse will stock these or not yet?

 

“Smokestack lightning”.

 

PF Arcee pls!

looks great.

 

I can see Premium Wheeljack.

 

As "special" Takara releases go the prices are pretty steep as always, if their Wheeljack has more vibrant colors though I may have to bite on that. Even the WFC shows didn't have him with the weird muted colors the toy wound up with
