Is that......Reverse Convoy from the Vehicon planet? The black profile with the funky hair, is that the girl from Cloud? What the heck is happening here?

God, not more of the '84 's Guess hasbor hasn't milked G1 enough yet, with the whole of G1 open to them, they couldn't find more deserving characters to update

Except this would be Takara not Hasbro maybe they're doing ratchet instead of Ironhide for their optimus maximus

A byproduct of the hokey Engrish translation. He thankfully does not say that in the Japanese text.Cobotron wrote:Did Megatron just call him "dude"?
This comic uses toy bodies based only on those that have been released in the Japanese market. Ratchet and Convoy are in their G1 cartoon bodies, Megatron's in his Legends body (which would place this story at some point after the G-2 pack-in manga and story pages, either before or after the other post-G-2 eHOBBY manga), and Blitzwing is in his Generations body.steals_your_goats wrote:Maybe I'm reading too much into it but could the ratchet cameo mean anything?

That would take away from the Grand Convoy homage that Takara seems to be going for with their official configuration for Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus.steals_your_goats wrote:Except this would be Takara not Hasbro maybe they're doing ratchet instead of Ironhide for their optimus maximus

That was pretty great

I like that they use MP-10 for Optimus Prime in their comics.
And maybe that Ratchet is the inevitable retool of MP-27.
Here's another part of the LG14 story.

@Kanrabat - I chose EMS this time, just to see the difference in ship time. Sad thing is I could have ordered from BBTS for just a few bucks more. I'm on the fence now. I'm glad this is a better option for you guys up north though. No denying that some things are still way cheaper when bought directly from Japan. Especially MPs. Looking at you MP G2 Bee.
Edit: Wait! Oops! Why are we talking about Takara Legends in the Unite Warriors thread?

Thats pretty great shipping, way cheaper than he would have cost if something of that size shipped from the US. But this makes me wonder why TAV 21 Optimus was so damn expensive to ship.

The US is pretty special since you have your own dedicated online stores that sell at your own currency. And they can buy in scale and make it so that what you spend is similar to the cost of importing it yourself for certain things. So you definitely have more options. In this case, to get them at the same time from BBTS or from Japan, the difference wasnt major. However, you did choose EMS. You had the option for your few bucks less to be a few more bucks less. If BBTS had an option of charging less for a toy but it taking a longer time to ship, it would be a more fair comparison because as it is, Amiami offers you a cheaper option for your total cost while BBTS does not.

It all boils down to patience. Unfortunately when it comes to toys, I'm like a 9 year old.
I will most likely choose SAL from now on ... and wait.

I just love these toys so much and dont have that much disposable income, so I try to make the most of it and share that with others who may be in the same predicament The more mney I can save the more toys I can buy

A stranger.
Megatron is just wanting to be a bit more hip with the kids.

Because he didnt came alone. Add a deluxe to a leader and they have no choice but to use a bigger box. Meaning a bracket is jumped then WHAM! Ultra extra shipping costs!

The red torso (and thus a clear grill at the center), blue boots, silver tankers, and other details that make the difference.
The truck mode was also upgraded -- silver tankers, silver rims, silver bumper...

The set will be priced ¥16,200 (approx. $135 USD), and available at retail in February 2016, with preorders late September/early October. There are some interesting deco changes in the figures, especially Optimus, so take a look below at the mirrored images!
Posted by fenrir72 on September 18th, 2015 @ 5:32am CDT
But the decos are soooooooooooooo SWEEEET!

Streaker and Ironhide really look either bland or not very different to me. the other 3 look really nice though

Yeah dat Hasbro Streaker deco is boss. I already have 3/5 hasbro release, so I'll wait for a restock in my area for him and Ironhide. Tak has done a great job.

UW05 コンボイグランドプライム = "UW05 Convoy Grand Prime" (as hokey-sounding as that name is)

Another thing I like about the Takara truck are the clearly separated windshields.
