To the Japanese it apparently comes down to this:

- Green G2 Megatron = BWII Megastorm
- Purple Hero Megatron = G-2 Megatron
- Blue Hero Megatron = Robot Masters Rebirth Megatron (with Prime head: Reverse Convoy)

Japan also got the silver G2 Go-Bots Megatron.

Thanks to twitter user フィギュア・プラモ情報＠fig速‏, we have for you a few images of upcoming Takara toys! And from the Legends line, we have the set of the two Decepticon Clones Pounce and Wingspan as based on their Titans Return legends-class figures, Windblade... and G2 Megatron! Redecoed from the Titans Return Voyager Megatron; he is now confirmed to be in his G2 Archforce colourisation of purple and blue rather than his more familiar green form, and appears to come with a redeco of the Titan Master Fangry figure. Take a look at the small images below and be sure to keep checking Seibertron for more leaks and news on these figures!

Very nice to see G2 Megs has a fully black Fusion Cannon. If I got him I'd swap this Fusion Cannon with the standard TR Megatron's Fusion Cannon; putting the Titan Master seat gun or the main Fusion Cannon piece on G2 Megatron's shoulder.

At some point I just need to remember to buy some glossy black spray paint and paint the seat gun of my regular voyager Megatron.

True Though at least this is convenient if you happened to want both figures.

These figures look great, however I'm disappointed with the movie bonecrusher since I want a voyager movie bonecrusher.

Megatron's Partner Drone is colored like Noble/Savage! That is AMAZING!

... oh my god, G2 Megatron comes with Savage Noble.

Windblade looks great, I'll definitely try and get her. Proper sword and Targetmaster? Count me in!

Megatron looks awesome- I'm not sure if I like him enough to get him but he looks cool as hell.

The clones, eh. I really don't care about the clones.

So, these full leaks.

G2 Megatron - especially with his tank and jet mode - are full-blown 90s awesomeness. The good kind, not the Liefeld kind. Savage Noble and a completely black fusion cannon are just the cherries on top, and I really like that Titan Master!

The Decepticon Clones look decent; not a long shot from the Hasbro ones so the only real significant thing is that you get both in a 2-pack. Their beast modes are way cooler than the Autobot Clones' vehicle modes so I'd prefer 'em.

MY. GIRL. WINDBLADE.
-Comes with her actual sword!
-Comes with what honestly looks like the best Targetmaster yet!
-Still has that beautiful facesculpt and paint!
-Her cockpit looks extremely angry and that's friggin' hilarious!


I guess this is the hidden blessing of Wave 5 refusing to come out in the UK. I so, so, so want her

Did we find out the size of G2 Megatron....or the class equivalent?

He's voyager class, the exact same toy we got from hasbro.

Relic0037 wrote:Did we find out the size of G2 Megatron....or the class equivalent?

He's the Titans Return Voyager Blitzwing/Megatron mold. Take a look at my signature to see

No! the cannon goes on the shoulder for G2 Megatron! They're doing it wrong! Rrraarrrrrr

Does windblade come with Pinpointer? If so does this mean that we're not getting the other Autobot targetmasters anytime soon?

Seeing as how Titans Return is ending with Slugslinger as the final 1987 Targetmaster character to be released, I'd say the ship has sailed for any 1987 Autobot Targetmasters.

While true for the Hasbro side of things it didn't necessarily mean anything for Takara. We've seen Takara do their own thing before like God Bomber and all the targetmaster molds in legends, all the extra heads used in unite warriors plus the new molds and toolings that Hasbro didn't do, and basically the entirely of the masterpiece line. So, for me at least, there was still a small glimmer of hope.

I re-iterate because I can't stop pulling out this dumb theory -- Crosshairs could be done from Kup, Pointblank could be a fairly extensive retool of Hot Rod, and Sureshot would be the only new mold they'd need to do. If Takara took the initiative and done them on their own, I wouldn't be awfully surprised. I'd be extremely happy and would be surprised to some extent, but not awfully.
And then Hasbro could release all three in a Platinum set later so Brand Awareness under capitalism can continue.

Megatron, super bummed. He's not green. They went with purple, and not even enough of it! He's way too grey/silver. Savage/Noble is enough on its own to save this figure though

Windy looks great! TM is awesome And thank God she's not getting those awful Hasbro swords!

I really, really love Windblade so I decided to do a comparison. Aside from, obviously, the weapons; there are very little differences between Hasbro and Takara Windblade in robot mode. A little shoulder detailing there, a bit of blue on the knees here; nothing to write home about. But it's the jet where things really get different.



The back of the jet is pretty much the same thing, but the fans on the wings are now transparent or white (yay!) and the cockpit is VERY different. The nosecone is now almost completely white, while the cockpit window is transparent blue instead of yellow and there's some odd yellow stripes added below it which makes her jet mode oddly look like it's very angry at something. Probably at her portrayal in Machinima CW. I don't mind it, it kinda looks hilarious and it's the robot mode and accessories that matter more to me at the end of the day

I really want that Megatron and Windblade. Both are pretty sweet.

That's totally Pinpointer that Windblade comes with.

And I think... I think the head and neck of Megatron's Partner Drone in its dragon mode are colored more like Transmetal 2 Megatron than Savage, as Savage didn't have a gold neck.

Ah, what the hell; robot mode comparison.



Takara Windblade is the more accurate one -- but only just barely. Like I said, there are very, very minor differences in robot mode. TL pretty much just makes the shoulders completely black and adds in some blue knee detailing, which is more accurate, but only like 2% more than TR. There's also still a couple minor inaccuracies -- the edge of the wings and the middle section of her chest should be black.
Didn't bother comparing other incarnations because she's not meant to be the RiD 2015 character; we know already that as soon as this figure comes out the Legends comic character is going to look exactly like her; Earth Wars is based directly on the T30/earlier Legends figure; and Machinima is bad.

Ok, thanks. I looked up the price on BBTS after my post & it looks to be the price they are charging for Voyager sized figures these days. I wasn't planning on picking him up at first, but since I have a Lazer Prime from that Velocitron set, I might go ahead & get one & start a G2 shelf.

Oh my. Those clones look real nice. I managed to nab a Fastlane, but I think Pounce may be more troublesome, and this way, I get them both and with nice silver faces. Yep, gonna go takara for these guys. Which will leave me with an extra Wingspan. Ooohhh.... the clones are triplets! MWUAHAHAHA!!!!!!


I was wondering who Wilder would come with anOHMYGODWHATDIDTHEYDO?????


*Reads thread*

Oh. Oooohhhhhh..... Savage Noble comes with a purple megatron..... I see what you did there Takara.

hoo boy, im going to be doing a lot of accessory swapping. gonna give TR Blitzwing the Thrilling 30 Blitswings weapons, give G2 Megs TR Blitzwings gun and put his cannon on his shoulder, then give TR Megs G2 Megs's small gun and combine it with his cannon. that should work nicely

It all works out in the end!

Takara's probably saving the green deco for Megastorm.

I really like Windblade, but there's not enough of a difference for me to spend the $40 on her. Her targetmaster is really cool though, and the jet mode looks nice, but Hasbro still did good. The sword though is good, seeing as how it's the one she actually needs.

As for Megatron: Oh yes baby!!! That boy right there is sick!!! He is pre-ordered!!! Though, having 2 Megatrons of the same mold will be weird for me, especially since the TR became my Decepticon leader on my shelf (the CW leader is on my Autobot shelf, too bad TR did not come with Autobot symbols or he would be there too). Hard to fully justify, but I have a weird love for the purple camo.

And as for the clones: I already have 2, just need the hasbro 2 pack

HAH, I called Fangry's drone being redecoed into a Savage/Noble homage long ago! And very fitting too, considering Doomshot now resembles BW Megatron (or the purple Megaligator). Nice save with the TM2 detail, as Savage didn't have a neck, or even eyes.

And fully agree on Windblade's partner being Pointech/Pinpointer. That leaves only:

- Spoil/Spoilsport
- Peaceman/Peacemaker

and possibly:

- Nightstick
- Fracas

Windblade's Targetmaster just leaves me longing for the rest of the Autobot team of Crosshairs and company.

I want that Megatron!

So something I'd been thinking about for awhile.

G2 is where the purple faced Megatrons started. It's not really clear where or how Galvatron went back to being Megatron in most continuities. (Except IDW or Marvel G1 UK where Galvatron is someone else. Straxus as Megatron became Galvatron in G1 Marvel UK, didn't he?)

I'd been playing with the idea that G2 Megatron is the Beast Wars Megatron when he first "steals" the Megatron identity. Galvatron is still out there.

Anyway... With the Savage/Noble inclusion, I'm kind of wondering if Takara isn't taking the same route...

in the original series in Japan, the manga- Return of Convoy/Battlestars (which is the animated continuity continued after Zone...) explains that Dark Nova creates "Super Megatron" (from Galvatron entombed in Ice during Headmasters), I see this as both a restoration and an upgrade .

The white and yellow detailing is accurate to the comic and was featured on the original TakaraTomy Legends figure too.

Aaah, that makes sense. I tended not to pay attention to the vehicle modes in fiction.

Thanks once again to fellow board member Cyberpath, we've got several images from Dengeki Hobby Web of Takara Legends LG61 Decepticon Clone Set, LG62 Targetmaster Windblade and LG63 G2 Megatron for you! Some of them are new, featuring things like a closer look at G2 Megatron's head; and some are simply clearer and larger versions of images we showed you earlier today -- but all do a great job of illustrating just how great Takara's versions of the Titans Return figures are. Check out Windblade, Pinpointer, Pounce, Wingspan, G2 Hero Megatron and what seems to be Savage Noble below and tell us what you think in the forums!

Love those little animal insignias the Twins have

Meg's cannon looks amazing in all black. I dig it, even if they weren't as creative as some of you... by the way I wanted your versions more, but this will do.

The Savage/Noble homage is really fun, and a big floating Megatron head (even if it isn't Beast Wars/Machines).

I'd have to look at the clones to see how they differ from HASBRO's and Windblade (besides the targetmaster). Not familiar enough yet with the H version to compare with the TT.

Good thing I'm a huge Windblade nerd, so I made these.





As for Clones comparisons...

Actually, there is some nice differences in the clones. The takara has a richer blue. Their silver faces. I think the stripe on their arm transform joints are different. Certainly a little more than the Windblade robot mode differences.
