Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
The scene is a reference to Road Rage's MP bio in which she has placed Flip Sides on trial for suspicion of being a Decepticon spy, and Twincast is trying to defend Flip Sides. But it turned out that Flip Sides was guilty and Twincast had to learn to live with the fact that one of his friends and closest comrades was really a traitor.Kurona wrote:Oh hey, Road Rage!

I mean, it's a new form that allows Twincast to go back to being his old Blaster self, in which Takara is using to let him look as much like his old self from the cartoon as possible (within reason, of course, as they kept the toy-accurate shoulder designs intact and did integrate a ton of show-inaccurate blue joint pieces into the figure).william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Though, for clarity's sake, this toy isn't being treated as Blaster's cartoon body proper, but is instead treated as an evolved form of that body, an upgrade from his Twincast body that he got in The Headmasters cartoon.

Yet the colours being so slavishly G1 indicate that Takara did cilour this in hope to also please collectors who want an accurate G1 Blaster in their collction. If he was truly a new form in every way, then there would be no need to mirror that deco to a T.

Blaster's pack-in Legends comic seems to agree with this as there's a close up panel of Blaster's helmet-less head that also contains a thought bubble that flashes back to his Binaltech Asterisk body.

This is an extremely obvious (and pretty unbelievable) attempt by Takara Tomy to explain why the head looks this way in their continuity. If it was really intended to be Asterisk Broadblast it would look just like it, not vaguely like it if you squint. It was definitely originally designed to look like Perceptor.

Who wants to bet Twincast and Soundblaster will end up being E-Hobby or Takaratomy Mall exclusives?

Aren't their "heads" already that? Twincast and Soundblaster?

Yeah, but all they'd have to do is color the heads differently and call them Soundwave and blaster instead. Problem solved.

No, because they like to have a story to go with it. They'd have to be able to explain why Twincast and Soundblaster are suddenly "downgraded" back to Blaster and Soundwave again while their new bodies are made to look like Twincast and Soundblaster. It's a little too complicated to be worth explaining.

I wonder if it would be that easy? I mean, e-hobby fiction is separate from the Legends fiction, but then they'd have to come up with a second explanation for why Twincast and Soundblaster are suddenly Headmasters.
It's especially unlikely when all signs seem to point at their next figure being Mutant Soundwave. They seem content with doing Beast Wars story right now.
Takara Tomy Mall is focused on Unite Warriors still and I can't see them getting any Legends exclusives.

Eh, they'd come up with some excuse. It's not exactly a barrier or anything; Takara makes the toys and tells their comic guys to come up with something. Toys are always primary.
