Runamuck is quite prideful to be a Decepticon.

First picture makes me think of the Salt planet from Armada, when they fought Nemesis Prime / Scourge.

Second picture, decepticon bass cannon mode.

To those who say Hasbro has been the driving force behind these changes in Transformer plastic quality over the past several years, I submit to you this product completely of Takara's own design, not solicited by Hasbro. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy I got this figure. He's massive, Warrior class cars fit inside him like a glove, and his Transformation does some neat things, but at the same time, a lot of the steps are fiddly, some things don't want to tab in securely, and there are some odd engineering choices that leave some unfortunate gapping in parts of the figure (and I'm not even talking about the hollow legs). Overall, it's a nice, BIG figure, but for something that surpasses the size of recent Leader class toys, it doesn't quite surpass them in Leader class quality.

Just receive TAV-21 just a few minutes ago. Do you mean the soft plastic parts as the weapon accessories? 'cause the figure's plastics itself feels harder than the TF Prime Optimus Maximus.

And he's just biggyliciious awesome. Jazz too is great with all the new paint apps. Can't wait for Runaboutto arrive.

What he probably meant was that he's not ROCK SOLID as what TFs used to be like. For example, in ROTF or Cybertron. Most TFs nowadays are made out of this kinda soft, semi transparent plastic. I don't know if it's because it's cheaper to make and/or they are less likely to snap and break.

CW titant Devastator is made out of that, along the RID Prime and FOC figures.

I personally think they feel cheap, but it dosent mean they actually are.

So it's the oomph factor then? Btw, the soft part I DID notice were the folding pannels that held his wheels.That was a bit soft. Cybertron? Now tTHAT to me was the end of an era. The big@ss Firetruck Optimus was a solid beotch!

I do really miss those days. The solid ones I last held were from Art storm Roadbuster and MP Starsaber (his arms and legs that is).

Yes, the panels that hold TAV-21's wheels, both for the cab and the trailer, are VERY soft, pliable plastic pieces. But the bigger bummer is simply that the figure could have been a little bit better overall. For instance, I don't like how the truck cab just kind of softly sets into place in vehicle mode. It feels like it should pop and "click" in just a bit more when fully extended, but it doesn't, and you can see hollow gaps where the panels swivel past one another. The wheels on the trailer don't like to stay locked in place either, and even when they are, they're not in perfectly parallel lines, but angled ever so slightly.

I noticed too that the cab panel that folds out to his back won't lock in lock in. Maybe that's how he was designed.. Slightly softer than the main parts too but still harder than Optimus Maximus (that figure also had a somewhat awesome yet simple design but waaaaay too soft. Myabe if that d@mn battery sound effect was dropped and focused on more sturdy a material. Yup....really am teed off at these battery powered gimmickry.

I just opened up my TAV-21 this morning and messed with it. I love it. Takes a little work getting things set straight but everything does set into place just fine in both modes for me. The rear wheels were weird until I figured out exactly how that clip works, and haven't had any problem getting the cab to stick.

You know what I really like about it? It's an Optimus that does more than "front of the cab is torso and arms, back and/or trailer are the legs". The feet are the top of the cab! My mind was blown by that touch, really unique among all the gillions of Optimus molds for that, I think.

Ah, that's right! Makes it even better that this one does in that case since they're technically the same character.

I can't recommend TAV Jazz enough. He's a great figure, solidly constructed, with an easy but satisfying and fun to transform, and the Takara paint apps bring out the detail where the Hasbro version sadly lacks. Get him while you can!

Would that be the mysterious TAV-VS04 that we haven't got listings for yet, despite having them for VS05 and 06?

I wanna say I tried shoving the sword there when I first got mine. The way I had it made his flip down chest piece drag the ground worse. I will have to try again when I get a chance. I wonder if Takara made any modifications to allow the sword to store there more easily?

His head wasnt the main problem for dragging, it was that folding chest piece. The only way for him to no be dragging is to remove it and turn his head that way.

I'd heard it was both, you're right about the chest but at least the head is no longer any issue

I got TAV 21 and the box art just bothered me a bit.

To me, while Optimus has a mouth plate, I alwys kinda figured that was just his robo mouth. Like he didnt have one, just like Edward scissorhands has scissors instead of hands (and is also a robot btw). But check this art (and there are 2 different depictions of it on the box). It looks like a human with a mouth plate or scuba mask (or whatever they wear in Mortal Kombat), its very unsettling.

I believe his mouth plate slides into place like a battle mask on the show. Seems to be the way there are handling the ole mouth plate these days. I wanna say in one of the new comics he takes off his mouth plate to share some energon drinks with some old friends.

But yeah, he does have that Sub Zero/Scorpion look going on in the box art.

"Ground" would make more sense, though, given that this the land-based counterpart to the "Jet" Vehicon General.
