Looking at the comic closely, it looks like it's not just a new version of Brave Maximus, but rather it's based on the limited Robot Masters release! Master and Zebres are the names used for the smaller components, plus the power source Solitarium gets a call-out.

Master and Zebres are mentioned as being with the original Brave Maximus back on Earth, with Solitarium powering that one. This new one is Neo Brave Maximus, but Plasma in his original design is still present with Fire Convoy's team, which makes this all sound to me like Master and Zebres replaced Plasma and Brave as the original Brave Max's Head On System, while Plasma and Brave got this shiny new Neo Brave Maximus.

Eh, close enough. So would this be before, during or after Robot Masters?

After. The Car Robots cast all came from the future. And the original Brave Maximus went on space-time adventures throughout the multiverse in Kiss Players Position.

YAAAASSSSS LG Misfire! I do hope they're gonna make Aimless more toon/toy accurate than Firebolt, Recoil and Blowpipe are gonna be . As for the others how can you make MP Sideswipe more accurate to the Cartoon he's perfect already and by the time he comes out i'll already have the Standard MP-12. Doublecross and Sixshot could be cool if they're accurate to their screen appearance in Headmasters I think TR Sixshot is Definantly missing a sword or two and i'd appreciate it if Takara actually called out the "submarine" mode as a gun on the box or the instructions as it is defiantly not a Submarine Broadside i'm not sure about cause I'll have the Hasbro version by the time he's released and I actually HATE Broadside's character so we'll see if the stock pics tempt me at all.

Firebolt and Recoil are actually based on Fracas and Pinpointer respectively. Neither G1 design was used in the anime, but the Fracas one is in the manga.

Wait a minute...
BROADSIDE?!
I'm SURE will ruin the Carrier's homage, RIP
And we still havent had Misfire but... uuuuhhh it's gonna ruin the cockpit on the top of its awesome jet mode like triggerhappy does.

I bet Sixshot still retains the gun form.
Doublecross is very unexpected

[Sabrblade]

Thanks to Takara themselves, we have the preview for the next Legends comic!

Wait, "preview"? This isn't the pack-in comic that comes with the toy, this is the online prologue comic, a separate thing.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Jeez, these comics always give me a headache trying to look at them and not just cos of all the japanese. They're just so messy.

Sincere apologies for my ignorance but can someone please educate me why fans must endure a long ass period of waiting after a figure is released? What are the reasons involved? We got some great LG figures on the horizon and I think this having to wait needs to end because... .

More than likely, because movie. Takara wanna focus on their TLK line while it's hot and hence are putting Legends on hold for now.

[Evil Eye]

EEEEEEEEEEVIL T-Ai? Devil Ostrich mode? Spychangers looking legitimately cool?

Holy crap this is awesome.

[grimdragon2001]

would it be wrong to want a T-AI, and maybe a Dark T-AI action figure? After all, she was a pretty big character in RID 2000.

Also Targetmaster Doublecross has me curious, i wonder if he will simply come with Blurr's Targetmaster

[Big Grim]

Man, I love the art in these things, even if I can't read em!

[Rodimus Knight]

I hope this get's translated. I"m guessing the Mini Black Convey there will end up a headmaster.

[Sabrblade]

You know what kinda funny? If one were to shorten Dark Ai's name to emulate how the English dub changed "Ai" to "T-AI", then she'd be "D-AI" (said like "Die").

Best guess, TakTom waits to see what Hasbro does then goes to work on how they can improve upon it (partially to justify the higher price-point).

Like, "Ok, PM Prime looks cool. What can we do to it to make it a $60 toy AND make it appealing to Western fans who'll possibly import it?"

Hey, this Ai chan (narrowly) escaped the horrible fate she was doomed to in the legends universe

Sooooo, the KT figure wasn't quite what you were looking for, huh???

Sometimes, yes, to remind us how easily it could in a direction that no one was expecting or asking for...

[Sabrblade]

Well, I just learned something new. The name "Cyber Falcon" was an early Japanese name for the Axalon given in an old magazine (the name "Axalon" was ultimately kept in the Japanese dub of the BW cartoon):



Also, at the end, Devil Gigatron reduces Black Convoy to his original "prototype" state, having removed the Evil Soul that Gigatron original imbued Black Convoy with way back when Black Convoy was first created in the cartoon. Now, Black Convoy is essentially a Cybertron protoform.

LOL I have that abomination and sadly its the only representation for T-AI i have on my shelves. I would love a GI Joe styled figure of T-AI much like the Marissa Fairborn and Only Human Autobots we got from the Club

I'd like to see Takara do a Microman style figure for her myself. And D-AI for that matter.

Both are great ideas guys; as long as they dial in the paint jobs so we don't get a derpy eyed deco again, lol

that would work to, maybe a translucent edition to depict her holographic nature
