Apart from the blue tape deck face I much prefer Hasbros Soundwave. The unpainted shoulder details just look really bad. I will say though that I'm digging the faceplate-less brainstorm.

You should probably include the SDCC version.
Also, huh; shame. I was hoping Takara would paint the guns at the end of Brainstorm's front end thingy like SDCC.

Also an image from IDW. It's unfair to not have that when the thrilling 30 and headscuplt for the Titans return is where they're based from.

I totally agree, though what I preferred on takara's was the painted gun and the all that paint on the titan master. But the lack of paint on the shoulders jut makes it look so bare. I did a double take and went to check the Botcon images because I was thinking "if Takara's looks this bland, how bad was the Hasbro one?
Also I noticed that the crotch on the Hasbro version is transformed differently than on Takara's

The Hasbro version above is missing the cover with the buttons on it that are shown on the Takara Tomy version. The Hasbro version does have it, it's just an issue with the one on display.

I like the Takara deco the best, but with the Hasbro-head. 
The Takara-head looks good, all it needs is a faceplate. It looks like it's got indents between his face and "sideburns".. maybe enough to tab a fan-made faceplate.
Mold-wise, the wings on his shoulders look goofy, good thing they can be swept back though.

It would be nice if the wings could collapse a little. I'm actually surprised they don't! A little double hinge in the middle of them or something.Cyberpath wrote:I like the Takara deco the best, but with the Hasbro-head.

Agreed. And that is really the only reason I want Blaster, break-battles between Metroplex and Fort Max. It's gonna take a while to get the poses right, but it'll be worth it.Cyberpath wrote:Yeah, another hinge would have looked good and closer to the cartoon.

Doesn't matter if you like the comics are not. It's what it's based on. His entire head is based on IDWs head and the colors are as well.
It's like posting a comparison of apples and oranges and saying "I know I should compare an orange with a clementine but I don't like clementines"

Another couple of images for the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends line, as it takes on the Titans Return figures, from TFYuki - showing LG27 Blaster and LG31 Fortress Maximus interacting in the most casual way possible, with Blaster in his boombox mode, being carried about on a leisurely stroll.

The mold itself, yeah, but Takara's deco was more toy-accurate than not, whereas the Hasbro version of the Voyager (which is also missing from this comparison) was IDW-based in both mold and deco.Randomhero wrote:Doesn't matter if you like the comics are not.

While we got a ton of nice new images for upcoming Takara Legends items, poor Super Ginrai, aka Powermaster Optimus Prime, got forgotten in the mix. He has new pictures too! We have the best look yet at his headmaster figure which is Ginrai/Hi-Q. We also have a full frontal image of the robot mode and clearer versions of the previously released images.
These all come from a Japanese listing which shows that, surprisingly, this toy is not at a much higher price point than the other Legends Leader figures, even though it towers them and has more retooling. The MSRP is 8500 Yen ($84 USD), which is only 500 yen higher than other leader figures (about a $5 difference), and he will retail anywhere between $57 and his MSRP in Japan.

In any case that Optimus head looks really nice. It's a pretty cool extra.

If someone wants to make ones with the IDW designs they are certainly welcome to.
Thanks, Will! But yeah, that's the one that I found, too. Unfortunately it's from the Marvel Comics profile pages; they tend to be more crude and don't always match the actual animation cels...
I considered painting the lineart from The Ark, but it seems that particular one was traced (rather poorly) from the Marvel Comic profile, so didn't think it was worth the effort of laying down the flats.
Wish there were a book with all the colour models from the Sunbow show.

The charts aren't designed the map out every source of inspiration behind the new figures. They are mostly a tool to help decide which version to get (Hasbro or Takara) based on which is closer to the cartoon (or toy) since this is what I'm interested in. If a character has a Masterpiece figure I might throw it in for fun, to see how its cartoon-accuracy compares with the new figure.Randomhero wrote:Doesn't matter if you like the comics are not.

Frankly, the Voyager might as well have been left out from this comparison altogether since it's not based on what you're interested in.

Even if it's a mold that based directly on a non-cartoon comic design more than anything? In the case of Voyager Brainstorm, it's based on Nick Roche's MTMTE design, with the Hasbro version reflecting that in its deco while Takara tried coloring it more like the 1987 toy's deco. In this example, it's a mold sculpted to resemble neither the original toy nor any of the cartoon models, and is colored by both companies in non-cartoon-based decos.Cyberpath wrote:The charts aren't designed the map out every source of inspiration behind the new figures.

I am such a sucker for value and getting more ang for your buck and man even if I dont like those feet, this toy has that. I always assumed he'd be at a higher price point since TFSource is charging 95$ for him. That turns out to be 10$ more than the MSRP and its a nonsense figure, especially when they charge 75$ for Blaster. Probably curreny caught up to them in between the months.
Anyways, I thought he was a higher price point. But he isnt, and yet they give you all that retooling and he is huge compared to the Hasbro leader. Thats good value and I might jump on him now.

I'm stuck in a similar dilemma. This is currently what I am struggling with: what if Takara releases Godbomber to go with their Ginrai? Hasbro might do it for theirs, but what if one looks much better? It keeps happening in the RID line where a cool product gets released only to be outdone by and even better one.
Man I just wished I saw what they were all planning before i made my purchase.

I'm stuck in a similar dilemma. This is currently what I am struggling with: what if Takara releases Godbomber to go with their Ginrai? Hasbro might do it for theirs, but what if one looks much better? It keeps happening in the RID line where a cool product gets released only to be outdone by and even better one.
Man I just wished I saw what they were all planning before i made my purchase.

Best image here, no doubt.
And everytime I see Ginrai, I look at those feet. that is the one thing that I do not like, Godbomber or no

Properly coloured Hi-Q! And no dorky looking Orion head! More reasons for me to order Takara's Prime over Hasbro's

Nope. I ignore the japanese continuity. That there is my updated Hi-Q no matter what it says on the box!
This is first time I've actually been excited about a G1 Optimus Prime since the original Powermaster figure (the only one of my original collection I still own).
Just wondering if I will repaint Prime's eyes red or not. I do prefer the red.
(base mode still looks like garbage but I won't use that anyways, especially as the main reason I used it on the original figure was for when using the smaller Prime figure formed from the cab which this doesn't do)

Don't like Soundwave or his minions at all so pass on those.
I like Brainstorm's colours but he just looks weird without his mouthplate to me. I know it's japanese cartoon accurate but screw that. I want the Walgreens one if I can find it available to the UK.

No, just the fact it's called LG35 Ginrai kind of hints that that's what's gonna be printed on the box

That varies from place to place. His real name on the site with this listing was actually Super Jinrai with a J. So I dont know if that will be there too. The main reason I dontk now anymore is because a lot of Convoys have become Optimus in English on the Japanese boxes.

Well, I mean; Ginrai or some variation thereof. Translations differ from place to place.

And outside of special cases like Scorponok/MegaZarak and Fortress/Fortress Maximus, the little Headmasters don't get their own unique names in Japanese fiction, as they're the same identity as the larger bodies. The little Headmaster here is still Ginrai just as the Transtector body is Ginrai (though, in this case, this toy represents Ginrai's Double On mode Super Ginrai, as the normal Ginrai transtector cab is fully integrated with the trailer this time around).

But Ginrai isn't a Convoy. Japan knows he's not the same character as Optimus like Convoy is. They're the ones who made the distinction in the first place.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:No, just the fact it's called LG35 Ginrai kind of hints that that's what's gonna be printed on the box

I didn't mean that. Was just giving examples about English names on the box that weren't the Japanese names. Like when convoy is written as optimus. LG 02 is a good example.
