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.

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?)

I thought AutoArtBotX was talking about the Soundwaves.

So it IS Ginrai! The human Ginrai! Whatever happened to the sentient transtector post SGMF!
He's with his team in the G Nebula 89, as we saw in the Shockwave & Cancer Prologue comic.fenrir72 wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Alfes2010 has the first blog up for LG35 Super Ginrai, displaying the Vehicle and Zone (base) modes:

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

The Transformers Generations 2017 book says that Godbomber's Headmaster is not based on anything preexisting. It's a new design.
And according to Figure King #227, Godbomber is fully transformable from trailer mode to robot mode and back without any partsforming involved (minus the Headmaster, of course). Only when he becomes armor for Ginrai does he need some parts to be removed, but not between his vehicle and robot modes.
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.

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

Robot Ginrai died and was rebuilt into Victory Leo.

Did it have some epic name? I'm kinda surprised it wasn't included with the God Ginrai reissue or the candy toyfenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Just got some confirmation about a couple neat things pertaining to the new Godbomber figure.

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.
He's not in the Legends Universe.Sabrblade wrote:He's with his team in the G Nebula 89, as we saw in the Shockwave & Cancer Prologue comic.

You asked about Ginrai, not Wipe. Wipe got sent to the Legends Universe. Super robot lifeform God Ginrai didn't.fenrir72 wrote: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.
In. The. G. Nebula. 89! How is that so hard to understand?fenrir72 wrote:So where's the sentient transtector Ginrai then?
