The comics scans are mirrored below, and feature not only the characters listed above, but also GI Joe's Cobra Commander (in his Old Snake getup) driving a regular deco G2 Megatron (rather than the purple Combat Hero one of LG63), characters who have previously appeared in the series, and no unnecessary fanservice at all. You can read them all below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub.

Wingspan and Pounce
These twin Clonetrons, split from their Clonebot brethren to fulfill their ambitions with the Decepticons. Wingspan transforms into a condor and takes aim at prey from the sky, while Pounce transforms into a Jaguar and persistently tracks enemies on the ground.
Windblade
Windblade has the power to shake whole worlds. Her decisions affect the fate of all Transformers; Survival or death, are insignificant in her quest for justice. Her evolution into a Headmaster and Targetmaster makes her a deadly foe.
G2 Megatron
Megatron generated a new Transtector body for himself and is now a Headmaster. Megatron can use his new triple-changing ability to turn into both a robot, tank and jet fighter to bring fear to his enemies, showing that he's truly an Emperor of Destruction! His partner, "Noble", who quietly follows him, has a mysterious existence.
I've used a few liberties, also due to my poor Japanese skills...

In other words, the purple G2 Megatron Legends toy has been repurposed as a toy of Legends World BW Megatron, while G1 Megatron takes over Old Snake's green-and-purple tank that turns into a body colored like the American green-and-purple G2 Megatron toy.

On a seperate note, I look foward to getting these last Takara issues and give my wallet a break. The "unified" potp decos arent perfect, but for the most part they look good minus the voyager stickers.

Not always. "Des" could be pronounced "dess", whereas some people pronounce "Dec" as "Dees" (or even "diss").
There are slight differences in production, depending on your area if the world, etc, so changing the spelling could actually change your pronunciation.

Clonetron Set:
In 2011 of the G1 World, Pounce and Wingspan are offered high positions in the Decepticon army by Galvatron in exchange for betraying their friends, Fastlane and Cloudraker, and stealing a treasure map left behind by the Space Pirates. While they succeed, the map does not lead to the stockpile of proton energy they had expected, and the two Clones remain low-ranked Decepticons even as Galvatron and Scorponok are defeated. Ten years later they return to the Pirate Planet, believing there's more to the pirates' pyramid than they saw during their first visit, and find a hidden basement containing an interdimensional portal. They theorize that the reason the proton energy is nowhere to be found is because the space pirate Duncan never hid it in the pyramid in the first place, but transported it to another world.
In the Legends World, Highbrow is researching the mysteries regarding the energy that created the dimension when he's interrupted by Cloudraker reacting to something. Cloudraker explains that he's connected to Pounce as they were created in the same cloning experiment, and he can sense that his "brother" has arrived in this dimension. Aware that the Decepticon Clones have searching for the pirates' energy lately, the Autobots realize the Zamojin must have been working with the Space Pirates to gather energy and use it to create the Legends World, and if so, the world is doomed if the Decepticons take away the energy. They roll out only to find that Pounce and Wingspan have defeated Metroplex using the mutant Autobot Targetmasters, which have absorbed the proton energy hidden underground to become extremely powerful. Declaring that they're sick of being ruled over and treated as lab rats and that it's their time to rule, the Decepticon Clones attack Fastlane and Cloudraker, who plead with them to return the energy to the Legends World. Fortunately the Autobot Clones manage to grab the Targetmasters, which then fly off in different directions to avoid being used for evil again. Pounce and Wingspan retreat, telling their brothers to remember this day, and Fastlane and Cloudraker respond that they'll gladly remember it until the day comes when they can reconcile.
Targetmaster Windblade:
Neo Akihabara City is attacked by the berserk mutant Targetmasters Pinpointer, Spoilsport and Peacemaker, and Windblade, determined to protect the world that forgave her for her past actions, comes to the city's defense only to be shot down. With the city in flames and even Broadside defeated, a despairing Windblade wishes that her big sister Nijika was there to help, then realizes that Nijika is in fact present in the Legends World. She makes her way to where Katsu Don is rebuilding Nijika and requests that her creator convert her into a Headmaster compatible with her sister's body, conceding that she's even willing to become a Zamojin puppet again in exchange for Nijika's power.
Katsu Don accepts her deal, and Headmaster Windblade and Nijika soon depart to save the city from the mutant Targetmasters. With her new robot mode, Windblade is able to deflect the Targetmasters' blasts and seize Pinpointer, forcibly combining him with her sword and using the weapon to send Spoilsport and Peacemaker flying off to parts unknown. The city is saved, but it's a bittersweet victory: when Tigatron returns home, he finds a good-bye note from Windblade explaining that she has returned to the Zamojin and asking the residents of the Legends World to destroy her if she ever attacks them again.

With G1 Megatron having left Tera-Kura Co. to become mayor, president Beast Megatron is once again in charge... until the company is suddenly invaded by Concurrence troops led by Old Snake, who needs resources to recover from the setback of being discovered by the Galactic Peace Alliance. Snake proceeds to place Megatron in a tube and extract his "beast portion", transforming him into a wholly robotic Headmaster loyal to the Concurrence. Seeing their plot for world conquest as a way to take revenge on G1 Megatron for overthrowing him, Beast Megatron happily uses Tera-Kura's facilities to mass-produce Concurrence weapons, including a tank transtector that he uses to personally lead an attack on the mayor's office, Trypticon.
To Starscream's shock, G1 Megatron is unwilling to fight back, not wanting to see a subordinate get hurt ever since a previous incident, and instead looks for a way to undo Beast Megatron's brainwashing without harming him. Soundblaster explains that Old Snake has previously turned Transformers into artificial humans and has used the same technology in "reverse" on Beast Megatron, but they can likely restore him to normal if they can recover his extracted beast portion. The Decepticons find that the beast portion, calling itself "Noble", was unceremoniously tossed aside by the Concurrence and picked up by Nightscream, who's gotten him a job as an opera singer at Weirdwolf's circus. G1 Megatron goes there and explains the situation, convincing a reluctant Weirdwolf to let him bring Noble and Beast Megatron together by telling him the the Concurrence is a threat to the circus too. With help from the still-loyal Slipstream, Blackarachnia, and Nightbird, he then takes over Tera-Kura, luring Beast Megatron and Old Snake back to the office where he's waiting in a borrowed tank body of his own.
G1 Megatron tries to talk Beast Megatron down, but his brainwashed counterpart only responds that he'll take over the world and become Decepticon leader in G1 Megatron's place, and the two come to blows. Beast Megatron manages to grab his opponent's gun during the battle, only to find it part of G1 Megatron's plan—the gun is in fact a transformed Noble, who transforms into beast mode, plucks Beast Megatron off of his body and combines with him. Their union restores Beast Megatron's mind, and he joins forces with G1 Megatron to send Old Snake and his forces fleeing. In the aftermath, Beast Megatron remains split between two bodies and assumes an evil personality whenever he's separated from Noble, though Noble tries to keep him on the right path.

The Concurrence is an organization of human villains first introduced way back in the Binaltech storyline. They consist mostly of human villains from the G1 cartoon (or humans related to those villains) and G.I. Joe villains.ZeroWolf wrote:Loved the old snake cameo, but who is the concurrence?
Their roster includes Doctor Arkeville, Lord Chumley, Shawn Berger Jr., Count von Rani (Iron Klaw from G.I. Joe: Extreme), General Kreiger (General Blitz/Garrison Kreiger), and most recently Michelle (from "Only Human"), the King of Daros (from the Japanese Headmasters episode "Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!"), and Old Snake.

Beast Machines
- dragon part turned into the dragon Savage
- the technological half was destroyed
- the wolf part was never explained
Legends
- Both halves intact
- Beast part, a T-Rex, turned into a dragon/wolf combo

The wolf part comes from Silver bolt, One of Megatron's servants.That is why once silver bolt comes back, he only has his bird element.

And raises a further question as to how and why Megatron would have gotten Silverbolt's wolf half anyway. Or why not the bird half too. Especially since he didn't seem to get anything rhino or wasp related from Rhinox and Waspinator, whose sparks were in the same situation as that of Silverbolt.

"While "Savage" is clearly Megatron's dragon half, it is unclear where the DNA for the wolf form "Noble" originated. Some fans have speculated a connection to Silverbolt's wolf fuzor form but nothing in the show particularly supports this."

It is nice that there was basically no "fan service", as it proves that Sakamoto can give us a story without half naked girls everywhere.
What sucks about them is the lack of T-AI and Minerva.
I really miss seeing my girls.
But what is sad is it also proves that Sakamoto can't give us a story involving females without showing them half naked.....just saying.
And yes I know that Windblade was one of the recent stories, but I am just referring to the young girls he likes to "showcase" aka "exploit".

The idea is that all the female characters are good for is being the viewers waifus. Laughably I've heard the idea being tossed around that this phenomenon is solely responsible for Japan's declining birth rate. Despite, you know, all the more plausible reasons.
There is more to the idea of a declining birthdate (not really sure to media like this). I would love to give you some more information about it, but it's not "on topic", so PM me if you're interested.
And I would say that the certain type of Japanese "otaku" is a niche within the niche OF Japanese Otaku. If you look at Wonderfestival, for example, most of the erotic stuff was in its own section, with the main areas showing a fairly diverse mix of foreigners and different types of Japanese too.

Maybe offer your talents to Takara's PR department. You can help plot an even better storyline bereft of them icky moe style gals! Just don't tell Sakamoto! But the way I see it, y'all are missing the fan service already

Year 3, Class B Big-sensei
A certain high school class is awaiting their new teacher with a variety of expectations: Longrack wants someone disciplined, Cohrada wants someone he can put in his place, and Break doesn't care. When the teacher, Big, arrives, they're all frightened by his massive frame and scary face.. until he suddenly runs out of the classroom, having remembered that new Transformers toys have just been released.
First Lesson First
Big is supposed to teach national history for his first class, but finds this boring and announces to his students that they're going to learn about Transformers history instead. When the teacher goes on about Microman and Diaclone, the ever-serious Longrack notes that none of this is in the textbooks and asks if it'll be on the test, which makes Big happy that he's allowed to test them on the subject.
Very Strange
During a staff meeting with the other teachers, Big asks if they can change the acronym "HR" for "homeroom" on schedules to "TF" for "Transformers". When asked by Principal Magmatron what the class will do during that hour instead, he responds that they'll talk about Transformers, naturally! Magmatron points out that that's what Big already uses homeroom for and considers firing him.
Hooligan Cohrada
Big catches Cohrada shaking Stampy down for his allowance and has a talk with the snake, who says he wanted money for playing around with. Being a nice guy, Big decides to give him a little something... Cyber Keys, which let you play with toys in all kinds of ways! Having expected money, the angry Cohrada calls them worthless and rushes out.
Hot-blooded Break
During sports day, Break shows off his skating prowess and is annoyed when Big awards him with a Cyber Key medal. For the cavalry fight, in which teachers participate, Big picks the rider position and crushes his poor students with the weight of his mammoth body.
Preparatory Reviewer Longrack
During class, Longrack tells Big how hard he's studied Transformers, revealing that he's even neglected any other subjects thanks to his teacher's enthusiasm rubbing off on him. This causes Big to realize he's being a poor influence and he finally begins teaching normally, much to his students' surprise.
When I Awoke One Morning...
Big awakens in the form of a robotic mammoth and is overjoyed when DNAVI diagnoses him with Transformers sickness—he's been actively trying to contract the sickness by exposing himself to Transformers stuff 24/7. When DNAVI proceeds to tell him that there's a cure now, he immediately throws the medicine out a window.
To Fight with...
Caught up in the Quintesson invasion the way home from the doctor, Big runs into a despairing Blitzwing and begins looking for a football coach who can help the Decepticon. Failing to find one, he realizes he himself is a type of "coach" and may be of some use, and decides to disguise himself as a Decepticon strategist and help Blitzwing.

G1 Warrior Twin Twist
Twin Twist's love for drilling holes often gets him into trouble when he damages the Autobot base, and when Topspin tries to talk him out of his bad habit, he instead asks his brother to keep watch while he keeps drilling. Topspin accepts, reflecting that he's a huge thrillseeker who loves the risk of getting caught.
G1 Warrior Topspin
The Jumpstarters are caught by Red Alert and flee on Topspin's jet mode, but have no regrets as they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However, Twin Twist's urge emerges and he begins considering drilling holes in his brother's wings, which Topspin protests against despite how thrilling it would be.
Operation: Destroy the Decepticons
Twin Twist's drilling continues causing trouble for the Autobots, but Optimus Prime hits upon the idea of using his habit to their advantage by having him dig pitfall traps for the Decepticons. The plan fails after they remember the Decepticons can fly and Twin Twist ends up digging so many holes that the Autobots themselves fall in them.
The Commander's Good Idea
The Jumpstarters are such a bother that the other Autobots complain to Optimus Prime, who appoints Twin Twist leader of the Jumpstarters so that the responsibilities and duties of the post will keep him too busy to think about his urges... and appoints Topspin commander of the Jumpstarters for that same reason. The brothers begin fighting over who is the real leader, which Prime sees as proof that they've forgotten about the drilling, though Sideswipe protests against this solution.
LG-07 Jetfire Sequel
In the 2000s, Topspin and Twin Twist meet Whirl and Roadbuster who introduce themselves as Wreckers from another world. While the two brothers have never heard of such a group, Springer overhears them and announces his intent to create a Wreckers unit in their own world... because the name sounds cool and might impress girls.
G1 Wreckers Birth Story
Springer recruits the other four and goes to Optimus Prime to ask for his approval in creating the Wreckers, though Prime is unimpressed when he asks for the team's purpose and Springer's response is "doing cool stuff". He only approves on the condition that the Wreckers are responsible for cleaning the area around Mount St. Hilary, which Springer finds so boring and uncool that he leaves for Autobot City, leaving his team members behind.
LG19 Springer Sequel
In the 2030s, Springer returns home from the Legends World in his new body, impressing the Jumpstarters who assume he's now ready to confess his love to Arcee. He argues that he's already been turned down, but Whirl tells him that was a different Arcee and the Wreckers push him over to Arcee where he begins to stammer a confession. How this goes, however, is a story for another time...
LG65 Twin Twist Prologue
Some time later, the Wreckers receive a message from Alpha Trion informing them that the Legends World is under attack by Windblade and the mutant Targetmasters. Given their connections to the dimension, Springer, Whirl, and Roadbuster are ready to head out and defend it, but are surprised when the Jumpstarters ask to come along as well. To explain why they feel obliged to help, the two brothers must reveal a well-kept secret... they too were created in the Legends World!
