The new facesculpt on Brainstorm looks so crisp and clear. A sharp-looking retool, if I do say so myself.

Sometimes when I see a repaint/retool of a figure from Takara Tomy, I have this "Oh my gosh that is a million times better!" reaction. This, not so much. Now the difference between the TItans return Blaster and Takara/Tomy Legends Blaster are much more drastic than this.

In general that's happening a lot with the Titans Return figures. A few exceptions to the rule like Blurr aside, Takara's takes are either barely different; or are only drastically different due to representing a different version of the character rather than just being better - ie Takara's Brainstorm is very different to SDCC Brainstorm, but you can't really say one's better than the other when one's a very good representation of Headmasters Brainstorm and the other is a very good representation of MTMTE Brainstorm.

Being a stoopid carbon based bag of flesh who just isn't satisfied ( I did managed to keep Twincast from popping out insistently by careful angling 45 degrees with his neck groove to the neck clamp)I would have preferred if Broadcast had the black feet of TR Blaster.

I'm 50%/50% on his face being unpainted as the TR Blaster silver paint apps aren't that nicely applied.

Blaster to Broadcast: Different paint apps and decal placements. Different feet

Brainstorm to Brainstorm: Different Headmaster and paint apps plus extra vehicle/weapon. (Not drastic?) :???:

still think the fact they didn't include his iconic handgun is a bit of a let down (besides other issues I might have). Takara seem to have tried to address the issue with the silver painted muzzle but it's still far away... at least there's the shoulder cannon.
My personal prime collection so far in descending order of how great i reckon the toy is -
FE Prime, Silas Breakdown (Powerizer), Dreadwing (Powerizer), FE Bulkhead, Voyager StarScream (Powerizer), Ratchet, Soundwave, Arcee, Voyager Megatron (Powerizer), Wheeljack, Thundertron (Powerizer), Ultra Magnus (Powerizer), Knockout, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee,Airachnid

Another shoulder cannon would have had broken the bank for Takara...major bummer!

Same, Ginrai shipped yesterday from AE and Inferno is still somewhere on the way. Was expecting him for Christmas, but oh well.

Alfes2010 has the first blog up for LG35 Super Ginrai, displaying the Vehicle and Zone (base) modes:

Transformers Legends LG35 Super Ginrai: Vehicle Mode & Zone Mode

Parts of the accompanying comic are included (with a rough Google Translation) and a certain enemy makes its debut (HINT: It's not Overlord). Don't try everything he's attempted, especially fitting Goshooter inside the trailer!
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

He's with his team in the G Nebula 89, as we saw in the Shockwave & Cancer Prologue comic.

Meaning as compared to the original that required partsforming for both modes, it's only the power up that requires it. That's already a given based on the hinges seen in the hobbymag images. Seems to be following what the "original" Godbomber design intended but was eventually scraped.


Man that extra rifle looks cool. Sorta like the rifle from Ultra Magnus that PM Optimus Prime uses. Hopefully I'll have mine soon.

I know that. But what happened to him (Ginrai the transtector not the Godmaster) in this "Legends" universe. This happens in between SGMF and TFV.

No special name for his sword unlike Starsaber's Saber blade.

Finally... I was able to log into my PayPal account and pay for the shipping for Super Jinrai. For some reason Paypal was having issues with my password. Had to change it, and let a couple days go by before I could log in.

Can't wait to get him. He looks awesome.

Then wait a few months until God Bomber is released, that's going to be hard.

Spoiler: in the Victory anime it followed the age old tradition of Optimus Prime. He was then reformatted into a plot device. ;)


Now I want to know what happened to the sentient transtector Ginrai then? Did he get bombarded by the blackball bomb too? Why didn't this "Ginrai" show up in Victory? Need need need trivia update 8-}

Robot Ginrai died and was rebuilt into Victory Leo.



I know that. But what happened to him (Ginrai the transtector not the Godmaster) in this "Legends" universe. This happens in between SGMF and TFV.
I just told you:

He's not in the Legends Universe.


Wipe is not in the Legends Universe too? What's he doing back bruising up Ginrai? He wasn't affected by the black ball bomb(Wipe I mean)? Someone please translate Vipe's comic too.

So where's the sentient transtector Ginrai then? But if Vipe did resurrect Devil Z, then could those sentient transectors suddenly become non sentient, opposite effect we saw at the end of SGMF? Devil Z said something to that effect that he was responsible for the godmasters coming to life etc etc.......Wish those figs arrive asap and a fan based translation comes out soon.

You asked about Ginrai, not Wipe. Wipe got sent to the Legends Universe. Super robot lifeform God Ginrai didn't.

In. The. G. Nebula. 89! How is that so hard to understand?

Look at him right there, in the middle-right panel:

Image

Human Ginrai = in the Legends World somehow with a brand-spanking new lifeless Super Ginrai Transtector that he's now bonded to.

Living super robot lifeform God Ginrai = in the G Nebula 89 of the main Japanese G1 cartoon universe, still sporting his original Masterforce cartoon body and which he will still have when he goes on to appear in the Victory cartoon.
