Artwork for Upcoming Generations Repugnus Teased on Blast Off Packaging

Its not bad, the 4 limbs are pretty cool, especially the headsculpts and the tanks surprisingly look different enough due to the different accessories and orientations. That GuyHawk is an amazing update to the original.

Oh Will, you so crazy

I wonder if those people finally gave up...

I wonder why you care....

As for Takara, that $175+ "those people" would've paid for a REAL Liokaiser set gave up and lined the pockets of another company. That's usually how it works. So if HasTak doesn't care why should we right..?

I have a real Liokaiser. He was released in a box set for combiners wars. Seriously. He has the name and the symbols and is an official release. I don’t need all 6 of the original team to be satisfied. CW Liokaiser is a colorful fun combiner. Wanna spend $500 on a high quality knock off just to please you and only you? Cool. I spent $80 and have the same satisfaction.

I mean, that's cool, but some people want Liokaiser to have his full ensemble and not require upgrade kits to have feet that aren't totally worthless. Heck, I want CW Liokaiser but I'm not going to pretend he's a definitive version and that a good 3P alternative wouldn't be nice.

Technically he is the definitive one becuase he’s the only official one in 30 years. I won’t count a 3rd party. Not gonna compare an IP infringed product that’s $500 aimed at 30+ year olds with expendable income to an official product that’s aimed for everyone.

He's missing a member (two really seeing as he replaced both torso components with a rather odd looking Deszaras), is too small and needs upgrade kits to be able to stand in poses other than straight up. That does't sound very definitive to me. "It's all we have" isn't an excuse.

I have no horse in this race, as cool as he is I have no real attachment to Liokaiser. CW Lio looks good enough for me, but for people who want "The" Liokaiser? They definitely need better, official or otherwise.

Also, given Liokaiser's age and comparative obscurity, wouldn't it make sense that a Liokaiser SHOULD be aimed at 30+ year olds with expendable income?

Absolutely not. The jumpstarters have little to no fiction outside the U.K. marvel and last stand of the wreckers. By that logic the titans return figures shouldn’t be for everyone. Or generations roadbusters.
They’re transformers and if hasbro wants to revive an old combiner for new and old fans they can.

Pretty odd that the robot mode art uses the UW orientation, in colors that aren't possible.

Dude the head shape is different, if it's not a crown accessory it's a retool.

I was on the fence with the first version because it seemed like it was neither different enough from the original or improved enough from the original to 'bring' anything to my collection.

This definitely fulfills the 'different' aspect though!

Throne looks to be made cardboard doesn’t look plastic looking at detail of top throne

Is it a reference to something specific? I haven't been watching the Machinima show, is it in reference to that?

The yellow piece looks (to me) like it's one of the 'Enigmas' that fit into the Voyager Class PotP figures, so maybe the scepter can be 'powered up' with a Prime Core?

And yeah, looks like the gold scepter turns into a gun, though it'd be awesome if it transformed into a small Emirate Xaaron.
