LC-02 Convoy (Beast Wars) is a redeco of RobotMasters RM-11 Beast Convoy.

LC-03 Lio Convoy is a redeco of RobotMasters RM-22 Lio Convoy.

LC-04 Optimus Prime is a redeco of AOE 1 Step Changer Optimus Prime.

hes available for preorder from a few places.

robotkingdom is the cheapest, but preorders are sold out. when hes actually in stock maybe check again. however robotkingdom tends to be pricey when it comes to shipping...

TRU Exclusive Movie Advanced Optimus Prime rusty Version @ robotkingdom $47.90

BBTS and tfsource have him up as well both for the same price. tfsource is probably your best bet if you live in the states, what with their free shipping over $150.

Transformers 4 - Lost Age - Rusty Optimus Prime - Limited Edition @ tfsource $64.99

Transformers: The Lost Age Evasion Mode Optimus Prime Rusty Exclusive @ BBTS $64.99

Site sponsor Robotkingdom just reported and put up pre-orders for the next two releases of Takara Tomy's Transformers Legends line. Sky-Byte will be LG-06 and Jetfire will be LG-07. Both due to be released in December of this year. While the images provided is small and may vary from the final product, it looks like in a strange turn of events Takara's Jetfire will have a flat red color and lose all the chrome from the Hasbro version.

Furthermore, it looks like they'll continue to use the Japanese names like they did for Primal and Rattrap. So it may not be Sky-Byte, but Gelshark.

Oh, is he called Gelshark? I couldn't tell from the tiny pic.

What about Jetfire? Is his name the same or are they going with the "Skyfire" name?

I think they're going with Jetfire this time around. The Japanese text just describes the figure, but the first paragraph tells what characters the figures are based on, "Jetfire from the cartoon" and "2000, Galshark from Car Robot" in a sense.

Jetfire looks better without the chrome, but I think I'll stick with the domestic release here in the States.

Sky-Byte/Gelshark looks incredible! The darker blue and silver paint on the side of the shark look so much better. Might invest on Takara's version rather than the Hasbro version.

The Takara Tomy Twitter has released images of the transformers legends Rattle / Rattrap package
ImageAccording to my loose translation of japanese,
【ラットル】なに~オイラが本物のおもちゃになっちゃった!で、でも、このパッケージ最高にイカす!!し、しかもキャラごとに特別マンガも付録するのか!?こりゃ10月発売待ちきれないよ~(>_<) 

The Takara tomy production team is excited for the toy, as well as the special packaging. With each figure will be a manga/ comic related to each character, They can't wait for the figure to release in october.

Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertron.com user SW's SilverHammer, we have mirrored below the in-package image of LG01 Rattle (Rattrap) that the Takara Transformers account tweeted earlier today, showing off the new box for the line, which will include redecos of older figures such as Optimus Primal, and newer Generations such as Tankor, Whirl and Roadbuster (and Sky-Byte). Check it out, and compare it to the Hasbro version here!

I'm going to jump on that Takara Jetfire for sure. Once pre-orders go up at TFSource, I'm taking the Hasbro version off my pre-order stack. The flat red paint apps look a lot better than the red chrome overload on the Hasbro version IMO.

Is Rattrap really any different from the Hasbro version?

I don't think Rattrap is actually going to be packaged like that. The way he's displayed in the photo wouldn't really fit on store shelves. Plus, he's not even secured in the box.

I dunno... I think it depends on the situation.

I haven't seen many (or maybe even any) complaints about most of the AoE chromed stuff, like the Platinum Edition OP & Grimlock 2-pack, or the OP Evolution 2-pack, or the SDCC Dinobots, etc. Even the AoE Leader Prime's chrome is fairly well placed.

Jetfire's chrome isn't just an accent... it comprises a large part of the toy. Especially against a white background, it's a lot. I personally don't really mind it, but probably could have gone for more black on the weapons to break them up a bit.

Eh, what toys are you talking about, because I don't know of any main line Takara figures to use any chrome on them other than Convoy and his variants (for the grill and bumper) since the original Henkei Henkei figures. My praise of Takara's figures has almost always been due to the use of metallic paint (BIG difference between metallic and chrome) and the sheer number of paint apps (like painting in headlights/tail lights and other details that are molded in but conspicuously unpainted in the Hasbro variants from time to time).

Regarding Jetfire, I'm with the others here. I'm going for the Takara version. I preordered it when I saw it come up on BBTS earlier today and I cancelled my preorder for the Hasbro version. Had Hasbro covered all the red bits with red chrome it may have been worth it, but mixing chrome with a different type of paint for details that are supposed to match doesn't look too good in my opinion (I wasn't a big fan of some of the Henkei Henkei figures with their one-off chrome bits either for the very same reason as it just looked out of place).

This is a different line that Generations for Japan. In Japan, the Generations line has been long over. Back when it was in effect, it used a packaging style that look very similar to Hasbro's Generations packaging. But now that Generations is over in Japan, they're starting a new line for the remaining Generations toys to be sold in Japan, which will be known as the Transformers: Legends line. And with a new line comes new packaging.

As for the box-style packaging instead of carded packaging, in this case, it's a homage to the Japanese Beast Wars packaging from the late 90's, which also used boxes instead of cards.

Following yesterday's announcement of Takara's Legends Jetfire & Sky-Byte we have Larger images provided to us by the Agabyss Twitter page. Looks like this confirms our guesses of Jetfire loseing all the red chrome in favor of a flat red color, and Sky-Byte having extra paint applications. We've mirrored the images below.

Bravo Takara!!!

So interesting that Hasbro goes shiny chrome and Takara goes old school. I like this version much better and have pre-ordered 2 from TFSource.com. The figures are also listed on BBTS.com and are a dollar cheaper than TFSource. I went for the free shipping when ordering two as it was $151.90 through Source.

I figure this is a solid investment and would rather put my money into a well thought out old school homage than what Hasbro will be giving us. December cannot come soon enough for this great representation!!

Now to Amazon to cancel my Hasbro edition pre-order. Reprolabels could jazz up the Hasbro version but cannot cover up that stupid shiny chrome. :BOT:

Still some great upcoming figures for this year. Why is it that Takara has the better paint schemes then the Hasbro releases? Maybe of course it's because either Hasbro is lazy at times, or they just have some bizarre choices. Still, the US versions of Jetfire and Sky-Byte look decent With a few exceptions, I'm really liking the Generations line this year.

Why is the Takara version much more expansive than Hasbro's?

I actually prefer the Hasbro version this time, it's slightly more cartoon-accurate.
