Thanks to fellow board member Albatross250, we've got some new listings for upcoming Takara Legends products courtesy once again of the loopaza megastore facebook - LG61, LG62 and LG63.
LG61 is listed as the 'Clonedroid set', clearly a set containing the two Decepticon Clones; Pounce and Wingspan. LG62 is listed as 'Targetmaster Windblade', presumably a release of Titans Return Windblade with the last Targetmaster to be released. And finally, in a fairly shocking twist; LG63... is G2 Megatron. This is presumably going to be the Titans Return Wave 3 Voyager Megatron in his very gaudy G2 colour scheme of green with purple camoflauge, and it's a wonderful surprise to get out of left field. Take a look at the listings below and tell us what you think in the forums!

Since there's G2 Megs, now i can hope for an EX-Megastorm coming...

I'd be okay with G2 (Green) Megatron. I've yet to pick that mold up, having him in that colour scheme would be a definite addition to the collection.

I actually find myself considering G2 Megatron since I got the Velocitron Laser Prime...

Which, by the way, it's kind of awesome that this is getting made when that exists. I wasn't exactly going into the Headmaster line expecting to come out with the G2 Faction Leaders, but man, Titans Return and Legends found all sorts of ways to be awesome

G2 megs is definitely unexpected turn of event. but it is welcomed turn of event in my book. would be interesting to see if they just gonna repaint voyager megs mold, or retool his shoulder so you can peg some sort of cannon there, to give him his signature look.

You can already do that actually!

TR Megatron has a 5mm-peg-hole right there on each shoulder, and the cannon he already comes with has a 5mm peg that's perfectly sized and positioned to sit on the shoulder just like that. So yeah, that's probably the configuration we'll be seeing whenever we get images; I can't wait to see how well that look works with the full G2 colorscheme!

A G2 Megatron, sweet. Was thinking of picking up TR Megatron because Takara would only do the mold to its proper character and not a pretool like Megatron. I hope Takara does G2 Optimus as well, I hate the stickers.

I'm more interested in the Movie The Best line that Takara are continuing. Nemesis Prime is probably from TLK, but the Revenge Version one at 15000YEN pique's my interest.

How dare you call it gaudy and it's probably a translation error like the last time a translated list like this came up and is Megastorm

It has G2 on it, so it's more like is Megatron. Megastrom never was G2 megastorm, was it?

G2 Megatron and Megastorm are both the same, except the Insignia of course
but what if the Titan Master is actually Megastorm?
Coincidence? :shock:

No they are not. Megastorm has gray camo, Megatron has purple. Megastorm has black on his face while Megatron does not. Megastorm has a few other decals different from Megatron.

I know they're the same mould, but Megatorm didn't have G2 in his identification, because he was Beast Wars (neo or II, I forget which). His titan master being Megastorm is a good idea, but it's takara so it's the japanese way of doing headmasters. Meaning it's Megatron.

Which means in the manga, after Megatron lost his Galvatron transtector, he'll replace it with a G2 Megatron transtector!

I want the Decepticon clones; I might get Windblade if her Titan Master is Nijika, to swap with Perceptor.

When I first got TR Voyager Megatron I noticed a port on his shoulder where his cannon could go and shouted "G2 G2 G2!!!!" :DANCE:

I'm actually not surprised the TR mold will get the G2 treatment. However, I AM surprised Takara are the ones doing it. Megatron is probably my favorite Voyager this year. Can't wait for Meany McGreeny!
and Con Clones too!

It'll probably be the purple Megatron since that's what Japan got in G-2.

Yep, but hoping for a "Nijika" style deco.

You can always hope the targetmaster is Nijika.

Less. In Japanese continuity the real robot is the head, so I like the idea of an alternative dimension where Perceptor's consciousness remained in the "Nijika" puppet and ultimately developed the ability to "head on!" :))

I'm curious to see it either way, the Hasbro edition looks kind of bland.

If I had my druthers, I'd have wanted Takara to forgo releasing Windblade as Windblade herself, and instead release the whole figure completely redecoed as Nijika herself in a new, full-sized Transformer body, so that the previous Takara Legends Windblade could stay as Windblade while this new figure could be her sister, Nijika, as a Transformer.

I'm sort of excited for the G2 Megatron. If it is the purple guy, I will strongly contemplate it. I loved those colors on Megs, and I could name him Archforce instead, so I can deal with having Megatron and a purple Megatron that is not a T-Rex in the same shelf.

I'll stick with the hasbro Windblade, since I haven't gotten any of the targetmasters, a bit too much money wise for me (but any MP with a targetmaster is high on my list!)

I hope that Megatron is just the voyager Titans Return figure but without the crappy stickers. I REALLY need a good voyager class Megs.

Say, if it is green G2 Megatron, we all know who the Titan Master has to be,
right?

Seriously, what else could he have been planning to do with her brain once her body'd been blendered?

And it would start a healthy trend of one new Sidney Biggles-Jones toy per year!

Right. Megatron.

Because this is Takara, not Hasbro.

I really need to stop thinking at times. This time it concerns the actual Titan Master design, which we all know is based on Blitzwing. If the G2 Megatron transtector really is a new body, how would they explain the radical change in the Headmaster? Unless TakaraTomy makes a new one from scratch and retools some other pieces along the way like they did with Overlord.

That would explain why it's "bumped up" to regular retail status.

Couldn't Takara just put Voyager Megatron's face on the back of the Titan Master Nucleon mold?

I wonder... given the titan master gimmick... would Takara consider doing a Reverse Convoy at any point?

All this talk about G2 Megatron, Megastorm etc... And All I want is a Tank Megs with an optional Prime head.

Buy Voyager Megs. Buy Voyager Laser Optimus. Swap heads. There ya go.

Yes yes. The point being, it won't be a blue Tank, nor would it be actually Reverse Convoy. Maybe Inverted Prime? UpsideDown Megatron?

Come to think of it, how will this be handled in the Legends comic if they don't change the Titan Master? It'll be curious to see why Megatron suddenly gets a G2 Transtector and why he now looks like Blitzwing. In both Headmaster and Transtector forms.

Megatron did lose his Galvatron Transtector when Trypticon destroyed it.

I image they'll just make a new Megatron head to differentiate from Blitzwing, at least the bot mode. It's one thing for the Transtectors to be similar, but for the little guys to be the same as well would be strange.

If they're doing the more likely purple version then there's really only one way to do the jet:

Sure, he'd look more like Starscream, but a black and purple jet (that turns into a tank already) to go with a purple and black tank mode would be a great combination.

Whatever color he is, I'm getting him.

I'd prefer the green/camo but I could totally see the black/purple on the Blitzwing mold.

Assuming it's the Blitzwing mold and not much changing being more repaint than retool, and not counting Broadcast/Soundwave and Wipe/Convobat (since it's LG-EX), this looks like the first time we'll get a repaint within the the Legends line.

Posted by Kurona on September 7th, 2017 @ 12:04pm CDT

There's been multiple other examples within the Legends line, including Armada Starscream Super Mode.

Even then, this isn't a straight repaint -- Megatron has changes to Blitzwing that aren't just the faceplate; ie the weapons and chestplate. So this is arguably even more different than Nightbird and Slipstream.

In the background of this image, G2 Megatron is visible, colored in his purple Hero deco.

And Windblade's heel and wing are visible too, showing her VTOL fans painted white.

Good eye. Though I don't spot Windblade. Who's that right above Jetfire's head? Looks like CW Optimus combined.

And if G2 Megs is purple, while I'm interested to see it, I have no desire for it as I have no connection to the purple one. Looks like a new shoulder cannon. That thing is way bigger and longer than if you use the one that comes with the hasbro Megs. Although it's pointing down so could be the combined gun mounted on his hsoulder? We'll see.
