Also, i can sense that the Beast Wars Uprising Homage is coming, Clever.

Also, I'm happy about them as new molds (Apeface/Snapdragon )

Not quite sure why me specifically... but yes, I am VERY happy

Beast Wars was my second favourite Transformers cartoon (just behind Animated; but only just) so it's wonderful to see it get this level of representation again. Add onto that that we're apparently getting Apeface and Snapdragon who have some of the most beautiful G1 Jet modes imo and that's just lovely.

I wonder if that hidden Deluxe listing is World War II Bumblebee if they don't make him now - I'd want him released as a prelude to the 2018 Movie at least. he needs a toy i'd say.

Although I have the previous deluxe, I ordered this TR windblade as she seems sturdier especially in jet mode... looking forward tho I'm surprised they didn't hide the arms or st least hands better

Damnation...okay HasTak this will be my 3rd and last Windblade to end all figures Windblade for me! :-P

This newest Windblade has the greatest face sculpt of all IMO.

How cool this mold could have been for Slipstream had it come sooner. :VEHI:

Dang... I found that Windblade very boring. It wins for most functional bot mode. But the Thrilling 30-bot mode was prettier. RiD has a more interesting Transformation.

I can handle not getting another Windblade for a while...

Exactly Nemesis! Best face sculpt for 'Blade, without a doubt.

I do wish this Windblade was a bit more accurate to the IDW design with a different distribution of mass and the proper sword, but she still looks great and while I want the whole wave of Deluxes as all three mean something to me she's at the top of the list.

Though I do wonder where on Cybertron those new swords came from. I kinda get that there's two of them because Titan Master seat gimmick (though while it made some sense for guns, I have no idea how a Titan Master is supposed to use two swords as a turret...) but the general design of them also seems to have come out of nowhere. It'll probably turn out to be some super duper secret weapon for Murderblade in the Titans Return Machinima or something. Can't wait for that :roll:

Still, they look cool, so I can't find myself complaining too much

Since they don't look like her actual sword and considering she's much more of a diplomat and peace-seeker anyway, I'll probably give 'em to Offroad or Weirdwolf or something.

Hasbro employee 1: "Hey, we're almost done designing this new Windblade figure, but we need a Titan Master compatible weapon. Any ideas?"

Hasbro employee 2: "Can't we just give her a gun like everyone else?"

HE1: "Nah, Windblade's never used a gun. Think of something else.

HE2: "How about we put chairs on swords?"

HE1: "GENIUS!!!"

Joking aside, I do like the look of this figure (aside from the swords), and I'll be picking her up along with Twintwist and Misfire.

Are these mousepads part of the Masterpiece line? Asking for a friend.

If not, perhaps there should be an Overlord version for his fans, based on DEM LIPS. :saint:

And I'm not gonna lie, I do kinda want one.

I do think the distribution of TR Legends has been diabolically bad though - I've barely seen them - it was a sheer fluke that I have a Rumble/Laserbeak/Ravage at all - and if it wasn't for stumbling across them in a independent toystore I'd likely not have them at all.

Really? The datapads were total shelfwarmers here. It's the other legends that you'll never, e-e-ever find in stores. I only have Brawn, Gnaw, and Kickback because I bought them online (and paid too much for them, more than deluxes should cost even).

C'mon :HASBRO:

We've seen in-hand images and video reviews for the Titans Return leader class Overlord - an IDW Transformers comics favourite character made toy - but the latest batch of images, mirrored below for your viewing convenience from Kevin's Transformers Library and Hakaider of TFND shows some size comparisons with Ginrai / Powermaster Optimus Prime in both Super and God mode, Titan Master compatibility (in his chest! like it was in the old toy! nostalgia! nippleguns!), and more. Check them out below!

Sky Shadow's jet mode is completely different to Overlord's -- which is pretty awesome because it's a not-so-insignificant amount of retooling to that end.

Heh, those photos certainly show the issue with Overlord being a Leader-class figure instead of Supreme-class.
Looking at those Masterforce screencaps highlights where part of Overlord's IDW design came from: His IDW design's shoulders are based om how his G1 design's shoulders look when the chest cover panels are open. They're that, tutned into the overall shape of the shoulder.

Albatross250 wrote:Does Anyone created a fan made Base mode for Overlord instead of the Dai-Atlas Base mode from Sky Shadow?

What that base mode actually is, is Overlord's base mode minus the separate ramp pieces that allow the Gigatank halves to connect off to the sides (and a,so minus other kibble like the radar and claw crane pieces), so they instead have to attach where they would for robot or Space Jet mode. Other than that, the details are very much those of Overlord's base mode. Has the high overlook chamber that's an underside cockpit in jet mode and everything.

Dreadnaut and Ominus are already based on Giga and Mega.
