Very close. It's "Excel Suit", the Japanese name for the Exosuit.william-james88 wrote:Axel suit Spike

No, it does say "Octone" in Japanese.Randomhero wrote:So Takara is choosing to use Octane instead of Octone. The Takara name for Octane....alright
As well as "Bumble" instead of "Bumblebee". The news story just used the Hasbro names for the TFs.

We all did. Stevie Wonder blindfolded naked in a dark basement did. It was that obvious

And no "Battle Convoy" version for the Octane mold? Most called that too btw It looks like TakaraTomy got the regular trademark for Octone back. Back in Henkei, the character's name was "Destron Octone".

Either that or an original mold.

Or it's another case like Clouder where Takara found a clever way to convincingly redeco an existing Titan Master mold into having an entirely new look, one in this case that resembles Spike's TFTM exosuit.Deadput wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:To everyone calling Spike for Bumblebee, have some cookies As for the mold used, I'm not gonna wager a guess.

Or retool it with a Prowl/Bluestreak head. You'll know what I'm talking about

Do you think this is how we'll get Fracas?

There's no "Targetmaster" in his name, like there is with Hot Rodimus, Chear, Triggerhappy, Misfire, Doublecross, and Slugslinger.Kurona wrote:I wonder if they'll bundle a Targetmaster with Perceptor?

Hmmm. Wonder who the final Targetmaster will come with then. Would they break patterns and pack it with a Voyager or Legend or Leader maybe?

We still have a couple more Deluxe candidates, the best of which is Topspin.

And he doesn't have to be the last either they could always reuse or make a new design for another character.

Eh, I'd say that's unlikely due to Twin Twist. Heck, if anything I'm expecting the Jumpstarters to be a 2-pack...
Oh! What about Windblade?

Ok, dug through the News Archive a bit and it turns out Topspin and Perceptor will come with regular Titan Master vehicle redecos instead of Targetmasters. That was revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show 2017:

chuckdawg, we already GOT an updated Fracas. Back in 2008. Except it was called Nightstick and packaged with Cyclonus because Marvel Productions goofed when making The Rebirth.

That was from an earlier issue when Tigatron brought a whole bunch of female characters (including Mega) from across the multiverse into the Legends world because he's a pervert. They all got sent back to their respect worlds afterward.Albatross250 wrote:Wait.... is that Megajet?

I know. It'd be hilarious though. On the other hand, it's not like it'd be a hard thing to make oneself.

Why would you need one? All you'd need is the Universe "Nightstick" mold with Fracas' color arrangement.
It's Nightstick who needs a new mold, one in his actual design.

I think it would be nice to have a new Fracas AND Nightstick, actually, in the new style and aesthetic matching Takara's "Targetmaster" additions to the Legends line. The "Nightstick" from Universe 2008 Cyclonus was great at the time, but doesn't really fit in with this new generation of designs. Maybe Takara will release the pair of them as a set at the same price point of a legends class figure and a Titan Master.

Already have the perfect Bumblebee but I like that the legend toy can carry a Titan Master or Spike. And if it's packed with the Cerebros head that would be great.

Which is a missed opportunity in her case since Takara could have made the whole Windblade figure into Nijika herself, allowing the previous Windblade figure to remain as Windblade while the new one could have been turned into her sister Nijika.
And which would have also enabled Perceptor and Nijika to coexist as separate individuals.
Posted by Cyberpath on July 6th, 2017 @ 8:07am CDT
If true -- no new head for Perceptor. :/
Posted by Kurona on July 6th, 2017 @ 8:11am CDT
Surprised at the new head for Octane. Isn't the one he has already in the Hasbro version accurate to all his appearances; original toy, cartoon and comics?
Posted by Kurona on July 6th, 2017 @ 8:16am CDT
Naturally all of them have new decos and as expected Slugslinger has a new-mold Targetmaster much like Misfire, Hot Rod, Doublecross and Kup; but of particular note are that the Headmaster for Octane and the Spike Headmaster that comes with Bumblebee are listed as new. Whether this just means new faceplates like with Legends Chromedome or completely new molds like with Legends Sixshot is currently unknown; but nevertheless, tell us what you think in the forums!

That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.

A word of advice: Don't cheap out on the material. Order in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail or Black High-Definition Acrylate if possible, White Strong and Flexible does not hold detail very well. And given it's a non-load-bearing detail piece, the increased strength of WSF is useless.

Shouldn't that be Daniel as Arcee's head? I think the supposition was Spike would turn into Cerebro's head so Japan could get the same Titan Master the US got with Fort Max. But, I do not recall seeing anything official for confirmation on this.
