While it is unknown if the previous reveal had the actual colours or was partly a painted prototype, this image gives us the best look at the final colours in hand. This image was found on the HK TF Facebook page but bears he Daimchoc watermark.
If only I hadn't gotten a complete Superion...
Ah well there's still Menasor

Here's hoping the G2 sets continue and we'll see Defensor and Bruticus as well.

J/k, set looks good but too bad I already bought the set plus AB.

Yeah I gathered that, but it was blatantly off-topic and I've spoken to him about such things so many times ...

Seriously, just recolor the Onslaught mold as a red fire truck. Keeping guns in place of ladders; that's Pyro's visual gimmick: He's an armed heroic fire truck who shows up to burn down people's houses.
Eh, I'd still prefer a Smolder.

Yeah he did derail the conversation with an off topic comment I reckon. He should have stayed focused on the topic of G2 Superion like my comment did. But I must admit, Im flattered to be compared to Obama.

I only simply said a joke for the moment, I didn't mean for it to get drawn out.
(back to topic)
I am actually really tempted to get this Superion. In my opinion, his colors are a lot more interesting than the normal release, and who DOESN'T like a Candyland Autobot combiner?
I think it's quite cool that Slingshot comes in the set instead of Alpha Bravo, though, I feel a bit sorry for our good friend Alpha.
I'm more of a fan of Decepticon combiners than Autobot ones, so I'm more exited about the Combatacons rather than this. Still though, I may consider getting this since I don't have Superion yet.

I want to make sure I get the right one when I do.
Is there a way to tell online? I guess I can look for that number in it's description. Is there any place that specifically says it is selling the fixed wave 4 version?
On BBTS is says the product number is HAS24239
I'm just conserned that they'll get the old ones, and new ones bunched together and mixed up, and which one you'll get will be random.
Just buy the bcop/mm case from bbts
BBTS receives whole cases of figures, and put them up for order either whole or split. It's the singles that are the greatest risk, it never hurts to ask Customer Service to look speficially for the ID code for the fixed Motormaster.
Update: At BBTS, they currently have CW Motormaster up for pre-order, for some reason. I think that if it was the old version, they wouldn't have it for pre-order now would they?
If anyone can tell me the product number of the wave 4 re-release of Motormaster that'd be great.

Easy, look a the pic below and tell me if it would look better if he had white thighs and a fully white codpiece:
If the answer is yes (to both), or if you don't mind, then get the Hasbro version now.

Get it. There's nothing wrong with Hasbros version for once.

It could use a bit more paint. However, the blue they chose is perfectly fine and while different to Takara's, it is as good.

Yeah, saw him sitting on the target shelf, and had to work really hard to not get it; gotta conserve my cash, but he did look really nice, and I do like the vehicle mode quite a bit.

That's just your opinion, I deem it wrong thank you good sir!

They are using two Rooks for the legs. One Rook in vehicle mode for the feet/skates and another Rook in leg mode plugged into them.

I already own the Hasbro version, but I'm also wanting to get the Takara version too so as to have full comic-accuracy since Hasbro's comes with Minimus Ambus while Takara's is painted with more comic-accurate details all over Magnus's body.Ironhidensh wrote:I caved and bought him......
Once I have both in hand, I'm gonna put Hasbro's Minimus inside Takara Magnus.

I'm planning on trading the places of the two Ultra Magnus toys. While Takara Magnus w/ Hasbro Minimus is going to be my IDW Magnus, Hasbro Magnus w/ Takara Alpha Trion is going to be my "resurrected JG1 cartoonverse" Magnus since the Hasbro Magnus has cartoon-accurate white pants.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I already own the Hasbro version, but I'm also wanting to get the Takara version too so as to have full comic-accuracy since Hasbro's comes with Minimus Ambus while Takara's is painted with more comic-accurate details all over Magnus's body.Ironhidensh wrote:I caved and bought him......
