I'd rather Takara try making their own MP Targetmaster mold. One that can actually "Target On!" with its Bulk partner.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:If true, I'm expecting them to use MP Offshoot (aka Firebolt) for Nightstick:

Still disappointed we never got a Hauler repaint from RTS Grapple.

We all did, but it's nice to see some form of confirmation. Plus, the Godbomber rumor makes the Apex Bomber one in the TR box set all the more likely

That would have been cool, but probably a bit too obscure (at the time) for Hasbro to have released it. It's only in the last year or two that they've been releasing figures that are obscure to most Western fans- Shuffler, Lione, the CW Liokaiser team, etc.

And dammit, I didn't want to get a Ginrai. I wonder if he'll work with the hasbro version.

That and the fact that the original toy literally had no feet.
But yes, probably that too.

It won't. Different set of feet. Ginrai has those skinny ones while Hb Optimus has those big boots.

Just like in the anime. There are actual seats in the chest/cockpit.

We've got a rumored product listing for Apex Bomber or something like that as part of a box set, so I wouldn't count it out just yet.
Let me say that I'm really impressed with what we've got here. It looks great, it functions great, only slight negative is the silly-looking wings over the shoulders. It's a fantastic update to a kind of brickish toy.

He isnt leader Class, or else the price would be very different. He is more like a voyager.
What is odd is how Takara still made him a headmaster.
And while i think this is super cool, I really dislike how small it makes the Optimus head look. Plus, there seems to be a big space between where the Optimus trailer ends at the bottom of his legs and where the feet connect (its where they palce the weapons) which is a shame since it means the Optimus feet could have been more filled out with the trailer hanging all the way down initially.

Maybe Takara WILL make their own Deathsaurus.

Yeah I saw that and its a good point, but since this is so far a japanese exclusive toy I am not sure the same rules apply. Takara can do as they wish, they dont mind having toys in between classes and not pertaining to a specific class. And he looks much smaller than Optimus in every mode.

Hasbro is already making their own deathsaurus. It will be the Leader Class toy coming out next fall in the TR line (rumour so far).

I meant for the UW Liokeiser set. I should've said Leozack to replace Deathsaurus.

You think thats more odd than his tiny head?
Posted by Sabrblade on December 2nd, 2016 @ 10:15am CST
The head only looks tiny cuz of how big all the armor kibble has to be to fit around the body. Otherwise, his head would have to be as bulbously oversized as it was on the G1 mold, which would make Super Ginrai look rather silly.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why are the wings so high up on his back?
