I believe it's for a Bandai Tamashii stage, kinda like Skybyte's or Brainstorm's. Especially seeing as it ends up on her back like them.

This may be the wrong place to pst this but, Ive been looking at Chromia's mini-comic and as i look at Slipstream, I cant help but to think she could be retooled from Windblade pretty well. Anybdy else get that vibe?

I think LG10 Arcee may be one of my best figures. The articulation is brilliant, so many possible poses. The light-piping is also some of the best.
Kudos to Hironori Kobayashi for EMOP, MP-22, and this.

Well, this gal (Arcee) was the kit bash that was responsible for his being hired by Takara in the 1st place not so long ago. Be nice to a lady and the paybacks are wild beyond your dreams! :BOWDOWN:

When are we going to see the Legends Megatron deco, as far as I know we haven't see it yet correct?

My first figure from the Legends line. I don't normally go for the imports because I'm quite often broke, but there is no excuse for Windblade fans to not have this version in their collection.

Thanks to Australian fan HQT on Twitter, and via Seibertronian ScottyP's notification, we have a first look at what the Takara Tomy version of the Leader Class Generations Megatron figure will look like - though the source of the image is unclear (potentially the Japanese All Hail Megatron collection, including the bookmark we reported on a while ago). There seem to be some minor differences on the deco after all: a bit more silver around the waist, and possibly some kind of extension for the cannon in tank mode. Can you spot any others? Let us know in the Energon Pub after checking out the mirrored image below.

So in order make it more show-accurate, Takara's Megatron removes paint details from Hasbro Megatron's deco.

I prefer the duller look to the over all body Silver/Gray vs the Hasbro release, which is usually in reverse as the JP releases are normally the more metallic.

Also, on the packaging, they have done as I have, and reversed his arm cannon. On the Habro box (not sure about the instructions, I have them filled with allllll the others at the moment) the cannon id extended with firing tip from tank mode towards the end of Megs arm, flipping it as shown on the JP box gives him a far more accurate G1 look.

Still in love with this iteration of Megatron. Hes the best addition to the top shelf of my collection in a long time.

Top shelf huh ? Is that your way of saying even though he looks awesome he is TOO BIG to scale with the rest of your CHUG collection ? Lol I might skip this figure for that very reason. I might buy the armada version though if I see it in stores.

Also, the inside of the arms is silver. (Red on Hasbro.) This makes him slightly more cartoon-accurate.

Looks great as predicted. I still prefer the metallic sheen and added colors of the Hasbro version. That figure seems to "pop" more.

The red on the inner arms is surely a refference to the G1 TOY.

That's a good reason for me to go Hasbro because G1 Megs is one very, very awesome toy.

Yes. Hasbro sometimes shoots for the original toys decos while Takara generally for cartoon-accuracy. (fortunately for me.)

While I normally go for show accuracy, I feel removing the red from the inner legs makes him slightly more dull than I can tolerate. I probably won't decide until I can see comparison shots though.
