Who knows..if the sales are strong, a wave 2 of the other 'cons too.
Since Cerebros had a black body in The Rebirth, I'd imagine that if Takara were to do their own release of the Hasbro head, they'd go all the way and include the body in show-accurate colors as well, since Fortress and Cerebros had very different cartoon color schemes.grimdragon2001 wrote:fenrir72 wrote:Sodan-1 wrote:I like them, and will probably end up picking them up at stupidly inflated prices, but it feels like a missed opportunity for a stand-alone Cerebros head.

Oh dear. I think you just uncovered a continuity hiccup between Andrew Hall's "Metrowars" manga and Hayato Sakamoto's Legends manga.fenrir72 wrote:Didn't Twincast take over as Commander of Autobot City in HM (and Metro Wars)? So the Hm of Broadcast is a shoe in for Takara Metroflex. Too bad you can't connect the play sets to the latter.
Speaking of which, Metro Wars happened after the Legends timeline and it was Twincast who commanded Metroflex against Metrotitan.
So somewhere along the way, the mass shifting transtector of his will be lost and he'll be back to normal size.

Considering that the base mold doesn't physically resemble any iteration of Getaway or Lightfoot (being just Chromedome's body in Getaway colors), with the head being the only aspect that really looks anything like the Getaway or Ligthfoot, but which Takara would probably end up retooling anyway since it doesn't already look like Lightfoot's animation model head, I really can't see the media-slavish Takara doing their own release of Lightfoot in the same vein as Hasbro's Getaway Breakaway.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Does anyone think there's a possibility that if Takara does Lightfoot, they'll throw a curveball and deco the figure like MTMTE getaway?

Takara Chromedome, while meant to be in more cartoon-based colors than otherwise, has a deco that is a little more closely-matched to IDW Chromedome's Shadowplay body than the deco of Hasbro Chromedome is.
So in a way, this release of the Hasbro head for Takara's Chromedome gives people an even more Shadowplay-accurate Chromedome than Hasbro's Chromedome does by itself.
