So what's exactly going on here anyway? Seems a little crazy.

I was gonna say Slipstream seems more interesting.
Also I think one of the jokes is that Starscream ows Slipstream something so she asks him to pose as her in her restaurant job. Hijinks ensue.
What I found so weird was Armada Megs checking out how much Devastator goes for on e-bay.

If there is anyone who can make me attracted to plastic toys based off metal robots it's Hayato Sakamoto (the artist for this comic who has done a couple issues of MTMTE)

I love when they translate comics like the first link. We really need more of that.
The second link took me to an empty page.

I would rather get the Hasbro versions because they don't come with the Japanese comics with bikini fembots that are so arousing. Or I could just throw them away but still...

For some reason the link left off the last parenthesis. I fixed the link. Should work now.

Don't worry, no need to discuss that.

Just remember as antiquated as some cultural ideas are, we have just as many here in the west.
Have fun and keep it respectful. Everybody is welcome here at Seibertron.
...and please Primus don't start a gender flame war. again.

Y'all need Primus.
Anyways, do you think with Legends having a heavy Beast Wars theme to it that Takara will include their BW 20th anniversary figures as part of the Legends line?

Who knows. It's totally possible though. I'm just curious to see what characters they do for 20th of BW.

Makes sense since they did that the previous years with Primal and Blackarachnia, two releases Hasbro didnt issue.

Like William James said, yes, they probably will

When I first got into collecting Armada Thundercracker was the first figure I bought. I later found out that on the show, this toy was just Starscream's powered up mode. When I heard Takara was going to release the new Generations Armada Starscream in it's powered up color scheme, I had to have it. This is the same mold as the Generations version, right down to the pressure launchers. If you're a fan of the series, or have a connection to the original toy, pick this up.

I'd be happy picking up either version of either sculpt to be honest, which means I'm more likely to go for the hasbro versions for the price.
It all comes down to overall decco, but I can't see them doing much different as the show models and toys shared pretty much identical colour layouts in both cases here.
I was kind of interested in seeing what Takara had to offer for chromedome though. Presumably we'll end up getting a show accurate decco with a much less IDW styled head, which I'd be up for.

Well the price will be the same, but the cost of importing will be slightly more, and because I just like the gimmick and dont really care for show accuracy (of a show I never watched), then I will go with what is less costly too

Same here, I had not realized Hasbro had these unconnected black shades,its a bit weird.
Also, it makes perfect sense that Takara would release these under Legends. That's their equivalent for the Generations Umbrella which Titans Return also falls into. CW Megatron and Ultra Magnus were also Legends toys afterall. That just made me realize something, the Leader Seeker toys are Hasbro exclusives

Totally agree. It also leaves the figure in a perpetual state of badassness. Like with Prime, Grimlock and Onslaught.
And for me, it makes them more robotic. Faceplates for the win!

I'm usually all for faceplates, but somehow the Hasbro heads just look off...
Depending on when these will be out, I'll probably end up going the Takara route, which may even end up being cheaper anyways

I know why, its the weird eyes they gave Skullcruncher instead of giving him a visor. If he had a full visor, we wouldnt find it odd.

I will only be impressed if they retool him to give him a G1 Fortress Mode.

I hope the Takara Galvatron and Blaster won't have the gimmick.

They need the gimmick, it was confirmed they cant transform without it (heads cannot be kept on during transformation). But we dont know if there will even be Takara versions. Think about it, Takara only released 3 of the 6 leader figures we had during Combiner Wars and one of those 3 was an exclusive. Takara has proven that just because Hasbro releases something,its not certain they will release it too, especially if its not something they care about. Its one year later and there is still no such thing as Takara Alpha Bravo. Nor is there Crosscut, Jihaxus and the list goes on.....

I like 'em, but I won't pay import prices for them, I'll definitely be waiting to find them in the wild

Guess I'm going with TakTom yet again.
