Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has shared the latest image from TFYuki, as we see a comparison between the Hasbro and Takara versions of the Titan Class Fortress Maximus head robo-dude: Cerebros and Fortress! You can check out the differences in the image below, and work out what Yuki is saying in the machine translation too.

ザ・ヘッドマスターズはTFが国内と海外で異なる展開を始め、マルチバース展開的な考えが本格的にスタートした記念的な作品で、色が違えば別人から、色も名前も同じだけど別人といった多次元的な考えをシリーズが呑み込んだ意味深いシリーズ、かな？

Translated from Japanese by Bing

Deep meaning but different colors, the Autobots are monumental works TF different domestic and overseas expansion, and multiverse ideas deployed began in earnest in person from the same color and name are multidimensional thinking like someone else did series series?

Question though, what do you call Headmasters, the small figures that turn into heads or the larger figures as a whole?

I feel Hasbro was smart with giving a distinctive name to the small heads, calling them titan masters, so as not to confuse over that also being the name of the larger figures, which it isnt.

The "heads" of course. That's why I mentioned Hb and Takara really did give them good head impressions. Now if the background of them figures be changed( originally, Hb storyline is that man and machine are finally working together into one ala diaclone(?) as in Rebirth and the Marvel Comic) with the figures now being totally mechanical or something, then why have a head stuck on your back? Still a headmaster. Maybe Hb no longer has the TM on the term Headmaster?

Then Takara creates that Planet Master background with them, the Headmasters being at first non transforming Cybertronsbefore the transtectors, the figs are still Headmasters in my opinion which means nothing of course in the grand scheme of Primus.......

Totally disagree. Fortress looks like he stepped right out of the Headmasters cartoon.. I like him so much better than the mishmash of colors on Cerebros.

Once again thats the toon accuracy which also happens to be the same colours found on the G1 toy. That si my main pet peeve with the G1 toy so I am not fond of it here, but I understand where it comes from. Its really cool that people have options like this which isnt the case in any other toy line.

Looks like Takara is going with the preliminary shade of purple while Hasbro is going for the final shade, which I like better. Though I do wish Hasbro painted the head, especially the crest. I'm kind of surprised Hasbro didn't go with the toy colors, but I'm glad they didn't.

I just watched Emgo review our favorite unstable leader and find myself wishing Hasbro had spoken with him first because that face crest plate thing needed to extend to the arms to have any attempt at cohesion.

Also, I think the chest might get retooled to have an actual head for a platinum release a few years down the road. I can't imagine one of the companies not doing something for some anniversary. I don't think they would release it again with the Titan Master gimmick at that time. But I could be wrong.

So does it mean in short form, one character with two different perspectives at presenting the character on both sides of the Pacific Ocean?

Anyway, the Cerebros head is just as cool as the JP version....I hope someone sells him separately in ebay sometime in the future (reason how I acquired both Encore Master Swords for my G1 Fortmax ( I love you ebay

.......sometimes)

If you read those translations out loud, quickly and confidently, as if they were actual English sentences, instead of slowly and laboriously, trying to decipher some cogent meaning from the absent syntax, it makes it all the more hilarious to the ear. :lol:

Fortress maximus is such a terrible disappointment. The only thing I really want from this release is Cerebros. I know it's the only thing i care about. Too bad it's going to cost me 200 plus bucks to get even the Hasbro version. Forget aboot TT's version.

Hello Seibertronians! Once again, TFYuki has shared some Takara Legends product shots via Twitter, this time of our favorite fast-talking fighter and Boombox 'Bot, LG25 Blurr and LG27 Blaster! What are your thoughts on the different Decos? How do they compare to their respective Hasbro versions - Blaster and Blurr?

Along with a link to their TakaraTomy Mall Pages, Yuki also shared this:

Translated by Bing:

Brusca say what summer favorite is good but also blur you handsome!　No, this man is so cool as well! > Transformers legends LG25 blur

And

Tomy(takaratomy) Mall, and still remains, the prototype image... the LG27 broadcast of the upcoming new base transformed into mode also spread play wide and twirling and head master and weapons available, sold separately, etc..!
Broca, Nice!

Take a look at the images below!

Have these additional shots swayed your opinion on either of these figures? Talk about it in the comments! And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com, for the best Transformers news anywhere on the net!

Takara's has exactly two shades of blue and Hasbro's gun is gray as well. If you like the Hasbro version better, all the power to you... but this doesn't really make sense.

Actually Hasbros gun is silver, the gray on Takaras is my one and only gripe about this figure. Not enough to stop me from getting it though.

I really like both versions of Blurr because they finally do 1986 Blurr justice. The Blurr that came out a few years ago with the IDW head isn't a bad figure but it's a horrible G1 Blurr. The Cybertron Blurr at least got the head right.

This is a rare instance where I hope to end up with both the Hasbro and Takara versions of the same figure because one nails the original toy appearance and the other looks just like the Sunbow cartoon.

Considering I am making a modern cast collection of the 1986 movie, Japanese Blurr is a must. Kinda iffy on Blaster though.

Takara's Blurr is the ultimate definitive non-masterpiece version of that character.. Looks gorgeous. Just wish those dark blue parts in the shield and such were the same blue so they could be flush.

Get used to it. Hellscream isn't gonna let go what he doesn't like.

Just went back and looked again at the vehicle mode for LG Blurr. It looks really striking! I kinda forgot how good it looked.

My grudges are eternal. But, I had to go back and look at the hasbro gun, they actually molded it in blue plastic, and painted it silver, maybe they thought a blue gun would be too much blue - the irony is painful :HEADHURTS:

Since much of the line takes some cues from the base molds (i.e UM and PM Prime) engineering, is it possible to feminize Blurr into Elita-1? Her Headmaster could be called Ariel.

Her transform mode in the G1 show kinda reminds me of Blurr too.

I don't really see why not, it looks the part in vehicle mode, and the bot mode has a slightly feminine feel to it, there's been rumblings about a nautica from blurr, so why not more fembots? I'm game ;)^

I don't really see why not, it looks the part in vehicle mode, and the bot mode has a slightly feminine feel to it, there's been rumblings about a nautica from blurr, so why not more fembots? I'm game

If they remold it like Victorion's individual bots as far as having thinner arms and all that jazz, I'd be all for it too. ;)^

I just hope they retool the pelvis, hip, and feet sections a bit too. However, I am not sure how they'd make a fake head section on top for her since hers was kinda big, and it's supposed to fit in the legs. Also, I am not sure how they'd do the chest section for robot mode. Maybe they'll retool that section altogether, so that the windshield section is part of the sled piece, and the car roof section attached to the windscreen becomes the breast section? It'd be best if she doesn't have a windscreen for a chest.

Takara Tomy's version of TR/TL Blurr is almost complete perfection, like he walked right out of the Sunbow cartoon and into our Classics collection. Beautiful!

Since he's already been retooled into Brainstorm, and another retool of Blurr as Nautica from IDW is likely on the horizon, I'm hesitant to get behind yet ANOTHER retool for Elita-1, though it does look like a fantastic opportunity, given her onscreen alt mode from the original cartoon. Maybe, if Nautica turns out to be an extensive retool, to the point that very few parts are shared at all, like we've seen with some of the better CW/UW molds (for instance, Rook and Swindle), I'd get behind another use of the same base "skeleton" to get one more iconic female Transformers character in the mix.
