Either get another TR Optimus and repaint it with Black and Magenta for his sword and add a big on the Fuel Container on both sides and done
Detailing is needed, for the windows you need Magenta, also for the Jet Mode's windows

Online retailers, presumably.

On the back of the God Cannon, like in vehicle mode. Godbomber's the only figure that has a detached helmet piece.

Thanks! Once we get scans of the comic, I'll be sure to mention that.

Using the tail as a mono-eye like the 2007 Movie Game Decepticon drones is pretty good, just needs a little dab of red paint. Kinda remind me of Movie Overcast. And wouldn't it be a slight reference to the Eldedroids as well?

I was referring more to the underside of the front of the shoulder cannon It's just hollow for no reason and the silver tip on mine is not very tight, so it keeps sliding off.
The storage compartment by the way can have the titan master sitting up.
You can also sit 2 titan masters in God Ginrai's chest cavity:
And Yes, the helmet pegs onto the back of the cannon and looks like part of the gun, so doesn't look like a helmet stuck to it.

You know, with the wings deployed, it makes the droid look like the Movie Dreadwing mold.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Who comes up with those extra modes?

i can see that a possible Megastorm is really happening.....
It's kinda weird if make a redeco of TR Megatron + with his own base mode, that's just......

Since they are both the same mold as this like Prime here, and Black Convoy, they should work the same and should be able to transform into the base mode.

Aye ok.....the price of the fig actually works out cheaper than Kapow, but when you add the shipping cost, it goes waay over
+ i don't get why LG43's waay dearer than the Hasbro one anyway coz there doesn't seem to be any noticable differences other than maybe the paint apps
(& yeah yeah yeah....just coz one's Takara & the other is Hasbro doesn't mean to say that's the soul reason for a price jump)

Not quite: Octone's wings are a solid piece and don't fold up. You'd end up with a base mode without proper ramps.

hmmm....but you've really gotta move the wings out of the way.

Or it was to, well, get rid of any visibility of the wings in robot mode since Laser Optimus Prime isn't supposed to have any wings.ExciKaiser wrote:Could this be the explanation of foldable wings on Optimus ? Takara wanting a base mode from the begining?

Did anyone miss this guy? hoping for a new mold for him

That's still fine, not unless you break it by force

I'm also very happy that this deco ends up being spot-on with MTMTE. Shame about the visor and not having eyes, but hey; there's always Shapeways.

As for Misfire...euuugh, I really hope the pink-headed Hasbro version at that show was a mistake, and that it'll have a proper black helmet. I've been trying to go for Hasbro mainline deluxe completion for TR, and I don't want to import for one or two figures! If I import Misfire, then I'll need to get Triggerhappy for the third time (not that I'm complaining, but I could barely justify the replacement copy to my parents) and Slugslinger just to keep it consistent. Add that to TLK and third-party scrap and oh dear Primus my wallet can't take any more STOP MAKING SO MANY AWESOME TOYS AT ONCE

It was a mistake. While I usually don't like them and find them unreliable, the CGI render showed Misfire with a black helmet

Posted by SureShot18 on June 4th, 2017 @ 11:44am CDT
Anyway I think I'm going to preorder Sixshot and Misfire. November is a long time from now and if I order from AmiAmi or HLJ the prices won't be too bad. Also I remember people talking about what would be LG50 and like many thought, it's not a big event. It's just Sixshot.

I dunno; Sixshot is a big deal. It's not like it's someone totally random like Broadside or Kup - Sixshot was one of the biggest antagonists in The Headmasters. Not the worst choice for a milestone number (if that was the intent).
Here's my somewhat unrelated question though - if they're using Doublecross as a way to release Hayfire (Blurr's Targetmaster), how are they gonna release Nightstick and Fracas (aka the Targetmasters of Cyclonus and Scourge)?

Indeed he is! The details are spot-on for an update.

Lol I just saw that you basically posted the same thing just a minute before me. I do wonder who they're going to pair up with the last two. There's no more unique decepticon molds besides slugslinger.
