Courtesy of Cybergundam, we have official product images of the upcoming Takara two-packs, the Transformers Chronicle Series. The first two-pack features Generation One Optimus Prime, paired with DOTM Deluxe Prime with Mechtech Trailer. The second features Prime's nemesis, Megatron, in his DOTM Voyager form, paired with his Generation One form. Great opportunity for new collectors who have yet to have a Generation One version of their favorite Transformers, and it also gives fans a chance if they missed out on the first release of Takara's Mechtech trailer. Prices in yen, site sponsor pre-order links, and product images await you below.

Take it as the trailer makes up for primes's delux/voyager price diffrence from megs, and these 2 sets are at the same price point. But... Me want meg's barrel/butt extention

I was excited about the changes to this set until I saw your post and remembered that I was excited about the Megaplex Megatron coming with the set. Ugh.
Well, this still gives me a version of G1 Megatron that I don't own. If the picture in this news story is 100% accurate, I believe this is the original Takara Transformers Megatron (notice the lack of chrome on his chest). If it is, then I don't have this version yet!

It's the MechTech trailer that comes with the Voyager Class version in Japan.

Look again. That trailer would be way too big for the Deluxe Prime, plus I've spotted a difference: The Chronicles trailer has MechTech holes in the front:
Which means it's a new mold. That doesn't exactly help me over my disappointment. Let's see what each set has:
Optimus Prime
+ New Trailer for DotM Deluxe Prime
- No G1 Trailer for G1 Prime
Megatron
- DotM Megatron has nothing really special
- No accessories for G1 Megatron aside from the scope.
Looking at G1 Megatron a bit closer, it's a replica of the Good Bye Megatron edition, which has no chrome, but has the red of the Hasbro releases, plus the scope.

If I had to get one Chronicle Set, it would have to be Optimus Prime, or the upcoming Bumblebee one. even then, the first is only for the Deluxe-sized trailer. Then again, none of my other Deluxe Prime have trailers... "Elitist"...

I was going to get it until my hopes and dreams of having a G1 Megatron reissue just got cruelly smashed. I was really hoping for a complete reissue of Megatron.

We can. It's a Wal-Mart exclusive and I believe it's already released.

Already released and peg-warming like a boss.

Umm... yes?
What kept you from figuring that out? That it was deluxe sized, deluxe priced, or packed in deluxe packaging?
You can pick all 3 if you need to.

Dude, I've only been back into collecting these for a couple of weeks, so pardon me if I miss something or don't know something that you 1000 piece collectors intimately know. We don't all know everything. I certainly don't.

Sorry, but you purchased an American release OP Deluxe then asked if we were getting a release of the toy you already knew about and owned. A little bit of cynical sarcasm was deserved.

Play nice please. No real need to argue about this issue and make a new member feel uncomfortable here.

Is this available for preorder somewhere? Like Blurrz, I missed this as well.
Posted by Cyberion on July 13th, 2011 @ 3:44pm CDT
Woman of my dreams. LOL!!!
But yea, a lot of info that's hard to keep track of for a returning collector like me. Trying my best to catch up on everything.

It may be one of the dozen or so unspecified preorders on BBTS. Good luck.

It could be DA-31 or DA-34, which have no other descriptions, and a generic place holder picture which all the incomplete listings have.

I'm still trying to get my head around Megatron being some sort of "tanker truck" as the Voyager class figure vehicle form from DOTM, when I can't recall seeing Megatron transform at all in DOTM. I don't recall him transforming in ROTF either. Now I'm going to have to watch that one again to see his transformation.
Actually he did transform once in DOTM. During the first scene he appears at South Africa. A very cool transformation sequence too .I mean come on how can you even not remember that? Did you dozed off during the first 20 mins or something?
