To kick off the weekend, Seibertron.com brings you another installment of photo galleries, and we turn once more to Takara Tomy and it's Legends time today. Check out below a selection of images showing off the latest incarnation of what once was a Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie - LG07 Leader Class Jetfire! The Japanese counterpart of the Hasbro Generations toy (comparison shots included) features all the same weapons and removable mask, and pretty much the same deco and paint scheme; exceptions are the lack of chrome on the red parts, some additional leg paint apps, more detail on the Autobot symbol and other very minor touches, making it look more and more like its IDW character. Check them out for yourselves by clicking on any image below!

The Takara version looks so good. I bought the Hasbro version when it was on super sale because it was December and as my girlfriend said, "it looks Christmas-y". The Hasbro paint apps seem to homage the show more closely. Was there an inspiration for the extra paint apps on the Takara version?

I don't see enough to warrant the higher cost. I can add a few paint apps and remove the chrome so...meh. Still, love this new mold and I do like the black gun barrels.

I bought it purely for the non-chromed parts. I can't customize to save my life, so I had to pay.

Amazing gallery as usual, thank you.
Aside chrome
and price, I find takara closer to IDW and hasbro a G1 deco, therefore I am happy with my hasbro version.

I can agree with that. I took the PRiD Magnus and painted him a bit to represent my Magnus but I'd love to see new one.

Probably the earliest promotional images of the Hasbro version are what inspired the Takara version, since those early promo pics had the extra red chest stripes and black-painted kibble gun barrels that the Takara version has.wetwithwaterwings wrote:Was there an inspiration for the extra paint apps on the Takara version?
Fortunately, removing the chrome from the Hasbro version is so simple that anybody can do it.wetwithwaterwings wrote:I bought it purely for the non-chromed parts. I can't customize to save my life, so I had to pay.

Love that tutorial. I have those products in my house. I can't believe how easy it is. I just saved 100 bucks by watching this video.
I have the chromed version waiting in my pile of loot but the other day bombing around town i stopped at one of the local nerd stores and i found a Takara version on the shelf. They are asking 84.99 plus tax for it. It's way too much but i've been racking my brain whether or not to buy because of the unchromed bits.
I might even leave one or two chromed and dechrome the others. I like options.

i think that used sparingly, chrome can be really nice. and peoples aversion to hasbros jetfire is that there was too much chrome, and not enough paint apps.
Posted by shajaki on January 10th, 2015 @ 6:35pm CST
i assume youre referencing the henkei line, which was littered with chrome. but, did people like that line because of the chrome? the paint apps in general were just better, and for the most part, the chrome emulated their G1 counterparts (ie: shoulder cannons, guns). not to mention, there wasnt really any gaudy use of chrome either. for example, henkei jetfire's only use of chrome was the rear thrusters.Optimizzy wrote:Lol.

My thing is that anytime Takara produces a new repaint, regardless of actual improvement, it's hailed as awesome by someone. I'm just calling that out. It's not all the time, but it's often enough for me to wonder if it's truly an objective opinion. Other than the non chrome, I don't see an improvement in this jet fire. I just don't. Getting non-chromed bits just isn't worth the import costs and takara'a pricing scale. There are times when Takaras paint apps and coloring is superior. But this isn't one of those times really. I'm not meaning to insult anyone, because Takara's market is more collector based, but it sometimes seems that Hasbro can't win some some fans.

Have both. And yes, misapplication of chrome ends bad. Maybe if Hasbro just chromed the pseudo metallalic exhausts on both the 'bot and the boosters it would have turned out right.

I 100% agree with your statement, Optimizzy. Hasbro has it pretty rough with the collectors community.
It seems like whichever company releases a figure 2nd, ends up with the better scheme that is often more widely accepted. Unfortunately it's usually Takara that comes out with a figure 2nd but in cases where it's Hasbro, we end up with things like the original Masterpiece Starscream which was much more preferred than the poor color choice for the original MP-3 Starscream.

In initial pics the non-chromed looked better, but in newer pics like these, well, I'll take the chromed, I just don't like the shade of red Takara made those parts. Looks cheap.
I do like the black barrels on the guns, but that's a minor thing.
The rest of the added paint on the Takara seems minuscule. There's the extended stripes on the chest, and the stripes around the bottom of the legs above the feet, and...? That it? Meh. If you really cared you could use a red sharpie on the Hasbro and achieve similar results, I'm sure.
They're both great looking overall, mind you, I just am glad for the Hasbro and chrome now, even if I wasn't sure of the chrome before.

I like Hasbro's red chrome on Jetfire to Takara's over painting of JetFire. Jetfire is one of the few times I like Hasbro's paint apps over Takara's.

do either of your brainstorms have the infamous HM defects?
i was planning to get both versions, but they look pretty similar. takaras seems to just be hasbros +1 (with the additional apps).

As hinted in the Legends LG-09 Brainstorm gallery posted yesterday, we now have galleries available for Takara Transformers Legends LG-08 Swerve and Tailgate. You can use these to compare with the Hasbro versions and see what the differences are. Since these are only sold as a full set from Takara, some collectors have one or the other already and may be wondering if these are worth the double dip.

Let's take a gallery break from the awesome Toy Fair 2015 coverage and bring you images of the Million Publishing exclusive Shouki with Exo-Suit mode Daniel Witwicky. Shouki is a redeco of Classics Astrotrain while Exo-Suit mode Daniel Witwicky is a redeco of Mini-Con Groundspike.
Million Publishing Shouki is an update to the Trainbots' leader who with the rest of the Trainbots make up Raiden in the Japanese Headmasters series. Shouki's space shuttle mode is meant to represent the Decepticon ship The Thunder Arrow from Victory with Daniel diguised as the pilot whose toy was a mail away exclusive but sold by Hasbro as Skystalker with Jet Command Center. Shouki even has a fourth mode Train Bazooka as depicted in the Train Wars manga. Click on any of the images below for the full gallery.

Man, that is such a cool deco for that figure. And with Million Publishing's limitations of no remolding for their exclusives (straight redecos each time), they really put a lot of cool ingenuity into the character and altmode choices that concurrently enhanced the greater narrative of he Japanese cartoon continuity. Well done, Million Publishing, well done indeed.

The Specialists set features metallic paint and Henkei Octane features chrome like all Henkei figures. If you enjoy these guys hang around for the Specialists: Autobots set. As always, click on the images to see the full gallery.

Probably the best decos available for those moulds, though the metallic paints ups off quite easily, especially Astrotrain's purple - more a display piece than something to play with daily. Still, top work from Hasbro

As the title of the set might tip you off, and just like the Decepticon set, the three figures plus one are shinier redecos of the previously released figures from the Henkei/Classics line - you can find the first iteration of the three characters here, here and here. You can stack the boxes of the two sets to connect the lovely new artwork, too,

It's NOT Henkei Just a really well done Asian Exclusive Generations release from Hasbro (not Takara)
Imo, the deco differences are worth it on all versions, so if you already have one, this is still a superior update
Edit: still there are people on eBay selling these guys loose, usually misnamed as Henkei releases

Thanks, but with price listings like those it might as well be a henkei. And after a quick ebay search the cheapest I could find loose was at 24 USD plus $20 for shipping from outside the US. I'd be better off buying the newer molds domestically than hunting for one almost a decade old at quadruple it's original retail price. I've spent big dollars on toys before. Most of the time it's not worth it.

After the two sets of Decepticon and Autobot Specialists, Seibertron.com is proud to present new galleries showcasing the Takara Tomy Generations Autobot Warriors trio of Ratchet, Kup and Perceptor!
Differently from the Specialists, the only Henkei! Henkei!/Universe mold redeco is for the medic Ratchet, while grumpy old Kup and the sniper scientist Perceptor were both released under the United line (Japanese counterpart to various Hasbro Generations/Reveal the Shield/Classics monickers). Check out the slick new paintjobs on the three toys, including comparison shots to other versions of the molds, by heading below and clicking on any of the images for the full galleries!

I gotta say, after the home-runs that are the previous 3-packs, this one really drops the ball.
United Perceptor - He's got a way shinier red coat.
Henkei Ratchet - 3-pack Ratchet has really odd color placements
E-Hobby Kup - Autobot symbols on the doors are really unnecessary, besides E-Hobby Kup is perrrrfect.

It helps to know Ratchet's vehicle mode deco resembles two other Ratchet: Animated and the more recent Prime one.

That' warrior 3 pack looks great. I'd pick one up if I didn't already own all 3 figures

I had the exact opposite reaction. The toned down metallics on Kup & Perceptor are right up my alley (and look at Perceptor's metallic rims!) - it's the perfect balance between the somewhat dull RTS/Generations versions and the overly glitzed United ones. Plus, the modern color placement on Ratchet (reminiscent of more recent versions of the character) makes him perfect for Generations.
If this didn't have the $160 price tag, I would have gotten it like the others for sure.
EDIT: eBay searches reveal foreign sellers letting this set go for ~$130... I'm definitely picking this up the next time eBay offers me an eBay bucks promotion.

Not really no. Honestly when these were announced I was quite surprised that it wasn't the Datsun trio. That would have made the perfect 3-pack.steve2275 wrote:warrior does not mix with perceptor and ratchet
