We're just waiting for Astrotrain, Lio Convoy, and God Bomber to drop...and then what? Is Takara going to put Legends on hiatus for a while to concentrate on The Last Knight? I would have expected some more reveals by now, even if they won't come out for several months.
I hope we at least get a few more holes filled too, like a Legends Eject repaint, Legends Buzzsaw, Rumble, and Frenzy, and some of the other recent Hasbro Legends releases like Brawn, Gnaw, and Kickback (thought I could see them being relegated to the Adventure line instead, like Powerglide, Cosmos, and the other two Insecticons were). It'll be a shame if Takara just skips to the new mold stuff, like Hot Rod, Kup, and Sixshot.

One word. Wow! Imagine the original inspiration

3. Great paint apps and redesign
4. Awesome recreation of the anime character
5. Better than sliced bread
6. Sucky feet transform design. Nope, I am not complaining of the design "design" but how to keep the feet steady. There are no ratchets or friction to keep it in place. Or maybe the minute friction (whatever is there) and positioned with his feet spread out does keep the figure steady.......sort of (maybe the omission of the feature was to compensate for the eventual Godbomber release.)
7. His weapon could have had a combine mode. The hollow halves can be a bit of an eyesore.

It is really quite easy to do, too. All the plastic involved is flexible enough that breakage is extremely unlikely, as long as you are careful and don't use excessive force. You don't need any tools either, as all joints are simple friction joints or split pegs in sockets. There are no pins or screws to deal with whatsoever.

To be able to get these for $25 must mean there'll be an Asia release. $25 is less than the exchange rate by about $1.50 and doesn't include any type of import markup. Keep an eye on TFSource and BBTS in the coming days.

Glad to be of help!
I did some "surgery" on a few other Takara Legends/Hasbro Titans Return figures too, namely the Autobot Headmasters. I swapped the faces around for the Headmaster/Titan Master versions of Chromedome, Highbrow, and Brainstorm. Note: I didn't just swap around the Head/Titan Masters between the Hasbro and Takara versions. I unscrewed the faces from the little bots themselves and swapped the faces between them before screwing them back together. It's very easy if you have a size 0 Philip's head screw driver. Of course, now that Takara has announced the EX set of additional/alternate heads, my work was somewhat in vain. Although, as you'll see below, Takara's version of Brainstorm's "faceplated" look will match much better than the Titans Return Walgreen exclusive version, with the bright white helmet and the yellow (rather than orange) faceplate.

Some of them are a bit obscure, and still others are quite obscured, but I'm sure there are some among us who are up to the challenge!
