Takara Tomy Transformers Legends: Hasui Talks about Highbrow / Scourge Retool, Galvatron Box

ハイブロウとスカージは関節が共通なので変形するしないは別にしてこんな感じに自由に組換えられます。 これを応用してオリジナルの変形ロボットを作ったり、好みの関節の色を選んだりして楽しむのも面白いかと思います。#TT_TF

To transform so highbrow and scourge of the joints are common and are not, like genetically modified free will. I also enjoy the sights and color preference of joint, making the original transform robot by applying this interesting. #TT_TF

Weeeell, there is a bit of an argument there - after all, it means their transformation sequences are generally the same and looks are the biggest change; as a toy, you're basically getting the same thing. But as long as they don't go overboard - like, CW overboard - with how many uses they get out of this mold, I think it'll be fine. Maybe one more use for a certain female Lost Lighter?

There's certainly engineering shared, but there's a big difference between sharing designs and measurements on a toy blueprint and sharing real life plastic parts.

I think the fandom as whole needs to come up with a new nomenclature for this:
1. Complete revamps that significantly change the figure like Metroplex/Fort Max, Highbrow/Scourge, Chromedome/Dead End, Sky Dive/Air Raid.
2. The pieces fit together differently but a lot is the same like First Aid/Offroad, PMOP/Ultra Magnus, and Springer/Sandstorm.
3. Most of the outer pieces have different details, but it uses the same guts like Dead End/Streetwise, Rook/Swindle and Cyclonus/Silverbolt.
4. New head like Prowl/Streetwise and Blitzwing/Double Dealer.
5. Different paint job like seekers.

At first glance, it looks like the only parts that are the same between them are the hands, hips, thighs and shoulder connectors.

I think 3 is remold, 4 is retool, and 5 is repaint, but I don't think 3 and 4 are very good descriptions and and 1 and 2 have no general descriptions. I'm not even sure about grouping a lot of them in 1 and 2. Then you can also get into the places where the transformation is exactly the same like Fireflight/Sky Dive/Offroad. I'd really like to see someone like Yuki's thoughts on it.

"retool" is the term actually used by the people who design and produce the toys. Only actual physical alterations of an existing tooling qualify as a "retool"

Wins what? Sorry but I'm not paying $90+ for a price of plastic just to have a different cab, arms and pudgy feet.

Whoops. I stand corrected. The new cab seems to make the head look a lot better.

THe cab looks fantastic. Though I'm not so sure about the feet. Are they mis transformed? They look very strange.

Delta Magnus wrote:Wins just about everything save for price. Better paint apps, less hollow, better articulation (especially in the feet), better sculpt, better head...

Literally everything about him is an improvement over the original mold.

Also the plastic color doesn't look as nastily brown like the Hasbro one. That alone is a huge improvement.

Now, one thing I noticed about this version is that he has a striking resemblance to Inferno.

That "nasty" brown is the color of the original from the 80s. The chrome one that keeps getting posted is the Takara release from 10 years ago.

doesnt make it any less nasty

Yeah just because it's from the 80s, doesn't mean it's pretty. G1 Blaster's slightly brown color on parts of him looks good because it contrasts well with the other colors, and doesn't have too much white and silver to clash with it. PMP on the other hand, is like HALF that cream brown color, and ruins itself with silver paint to clash. Silver paint doesn't always work.

Brown contrasts better with orange and yellow than silver does?

No that's just how they are. Look behind them. That's a lot of emptiness. You rotate them anyway and all those gaps are more visible. People are speculation god bomber armor but who knows.

I don't think they are supposed to be that way.

Look at the Gray prototype, the feet look different. Better.
