Doesn't look likely, from that image.

What? You mean that image could be a legends sized Shockwave?

I hope Shockwave's Partner is called Fistfight

I hope Shockwave's Partner is Logical.

It would be nice if Shock waves partner looked like his pre empurata self.

I wonder what shade of purple that Shockewave is going to be....

Guys that shockwave is just the legends shockwave we got. They are just giving him one of the headmasters that we were getting in the set with the vehicles.

Has there been any remoulding on blurr or scourge?

Well that's disappointing...

I hope Shockwave is a Galvatron retool. Seriously another deluxe size Shockwave would be stupid! Ya hear me HasTak?

Stupid!

They seem by-and-large unchanged from their hasbro counterparts.

I can't spot anything different really besides the fact that shockwave seems to come packaged with crashbash.

The decco will be where the money is here I think.

The image IS Legends sized Shockwave. We had the price reveal, he is priced as a smaller sized figure.

Interesting how they didnt change the headsculpts of Blurr and Scourge as they did with the others.

TFWiki posts Shockwave's partner as Cancer, which seems logical. This Titan Master seems to be a Japanese release of Hasbro's Crashbash, who is a new name for Squeezeplay. Squeezeplay was released in Japan as Cancer.

Thanks man, I love reading stuff like this. I really wouldnt have known the nice full circle homage at play.

No problem, dude. Also, it seems Legends Class Wheelie will be released by Takara with a Goshooter, who's presumably a redeco of Loudmouth. If TFWiki is to be believed.

Umm...

I wrote that it was Cancer near the top of the previous page before TFWiki put that info up on its site.

Well, it's presumable to believe the writer of the page either got it from the same source as you, or got it from you. I just read the info on the Wiki first.

Naturally, since said source was the previously-posted scans on Page 142:

Stupid!

It's just the legend sized shock wave. Why are people thinking he's bigger than what he is?

Cyberpath wrote:I wonder what shade of purple that Shockewave is going to be....

I sure hope it's light purple cartoon colors. I'd happily buy a second one if he's different from the Hasbro version.

Incidentally that is the Hasbro figure in the image, Takara Tomy uses those as a stand-in and gray scales the images.

While I like the idea of the Legends coming with a partner, I'm was hoping they wouldn't be based on the Headmaster Juniors, so they would get proper toys and not just heads

It feels like that they're going down that route, not giving them bodies. But who knows? This IS TakaraTomy, and it feels like they take more liberties with their toys so as to make them more awesome than Hasbro's releases.

I hope they do get proper toys, it would be a shame not to do a new Fangry

There is already rumours circulating that the bodyless titan masters will get their body in future waves of titans returns, so I'd imagine that takara are aware of this.

Well, the Headmaster Jrs. weren't picked by chance: back in G1 they were simply the Japanese releases of the 2nd-year, smaller Headmasters, namely Hosehead as Cab, Nightbeat as Minerva, Siren (aka Loudmouth) as Goshooter, Horri-Bull (aka Terri-Bull) as Bullhorn, Fangry as Wilder and Squeezeplay (aka Crashbash) as Cancer. In fact, the stand-alone Titan Masters are exclusively from that particular group I've noticed, we're only missing Hosehead and Fangry.

What's interesting to me is that Nightbeat isn't being released as Minerva, even though the other figures have their Japanese names. I wonder if this suggests that Hasbro and Takara are planning a separate deluxe figure of her.

They might think that Nightbeat's screaming angry face isn't suitably ladylike enough for Minerva.

I'm hoping the Blurr/Brainstorm mode becomes a Dai Atlas:

I agree, I'd like to see more of Dai Atlas, he didn't get much showtime at all and in the IDW comics...well, Primus hated him.

Dai atlas never got much of a good deal in the first place as Zone wasn't very good to be fair. I wouldn't care much for a redco of him that was deluxe size, he would need voyager class or bigger but I can't see anyone caring (including takara) outside of club or convention exclusives. Star Saber is a much more important character.

Oh wow, dai atlas from brainstorm would be just bad. A legends IDW Star Saber from Generations Voyager Brainstorm would probably work.

I agree in preferring a larger sized toy for Dai Atlas, but a Deluxe-sized one would go well with the Deluxe-sized RobotMasters Star Saber mold.

Shocking find! I couldn't get a picture but I saw my first ever Legends toy in store, at my local TRU they were stocking Legends Arcee for $50 AUS! I gotta pick her up.

Here it is with some more head accuracy:



I can also see comics Jhiaxus being an option for the mold and being an easier candidate for Headmasters gimmickry.

Legends blurr

steals_your_goats wrote:Legends blurr

Impressive!

I was fine with the Hasbro version but this one is so much nicer. Although I really don't want to spend the extra $10+ for this version.

Thanks to Seibertronian Steals_your_goats and our favorite Twitter user TFYuki we now have nice colored images of Legends Blurr! Blurr retains his headmaster abilities and couples it with a nice new paint job. The hasbro version can be found Here for comparison. Check out the images mirrored below and lets us know what you think in the comments section. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Dang it Takara. Why do I even bother with Hasbro.

Cool, we get a choice between original toy deco and cartoon deco.

You know, sometimes I don't like Takara's decos because they're so slavish to the cartoon - I really don't like their Arcee and Springer because of this.
But this is a case of Hasbro being way too slavish to the toy, and Takara's just turns out infinitely better.

It's like looking at a completely different toy.

They're making it hard to choose. I can't be double dipping on every character.

Wow...I guess the colors really can make or break a toy.

TakTom seems hellbent on making me spend money I had no intention on spending. Here's hoping I can remain strong and stick to my guns with my original Headmasters only rule.
