More images of Takara Legends G2 Megatron, Targetmaster Windblade and Decepticon Clones

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.

Man I wished Windblade came with fracas.

No they're not:



Subtle, but important differences are Pounce's feet and Wingspan's wing tips.

You guys make good points. So, on reflection:

Well, everyone forgets that Takara's are actually cheaper (by a technicality of Hasbro putting one in a $100 box set).

Here's what's different: Takara's Clonetrons have paint!

The clones need guns.

megatron...i just want a G1 coloured version from Takara.

No Megatron rules decal?! Still love this guy more than the Hasbro version; usually I don't see much use in putting 10 to 20 dollars extra on a TakaraTomy TF if there would be little to no differences (or if a figure is painted differently while achieving the same results), but if a figure is given an entirely new paint job and/or new accessories, I'd more than likely buy it. Could care less about Windblade and the Clones, though.

Windblade's Titan Master:

G2 Megatron - 360° view on the website -- http://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/products-lineup/tf_lg/lg63

I was actually custom painting my megs into this very color scheme. Except i was making the jet parts a different color, so in jet mode he could be machine wars megaplex. Was going to paint the headmaster green and purple to homage the bigger gen2 megatron/megastorm. Kinda makes me not want to finish

Thanks to the fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have some update stock images of the recently revealed Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-61 Decepticon Clone set, LG-62 Windblade and LG-63 G2 Megatron! Mainly, the Takara Tomy website has shown off some 360° looks at the figures, plus some additional shots of the Windblade Titan Master, and the confirmation that the Target Master is simply called Targetmaster Windblade (ターゲットマスターウインドブレード), and no additional looks at Megatron other than the three main modes (so nothing on the Savage / Noble homage drone. Check them out below!

Windblade is an instant buy and I hope the last making her the ultimate for me. She's been replaced already twice. Megatron is a epic win and I'm thinking of making him my Megatron clone.

Finally I have a way to get the Decepticlones without having to buy the box or aftermarket prices. That Windblade face/head looks beautiful, but I still think my Takara Adv Windblade will continue to be my Windblade.

G2 Megs looks sick! Wonder how they'll make him work in fiction.

Windblade looks beautiful and I'm glad they decided to give her an actual sword, plus the Targetmaster (which looks great). Anyone else think her transector looks like some kind of Pteranodon in its alt mode with the way they painted it up?

As for the Clones, I still hate that they're Legends-Class. They should be Deluxes:


If I could get any of them, it'd definitely be Windblade. Alas, it just isn't possible.

I believe they are legends size because this would have been closer to their original toy size, but yeah I understand the feeling. The Jumpstarters were also smaller and were upgraded to deluxe. I think initially it was the idea to have a toy at each different size class by Hasbro for the box sets.

Funny thing is I was half hoping for a BWII Megastorm repaint from Megatron, but this Combat Hero repaint will go well with Laser Prime (making a deal with one of my cousins atm). Still wish it had Megatron Rules on it, though.

Actually I think the prominence of the characters comes into play as well. The jumpstarters are a bit more prominent in the IDW fiction as wreckers, so making them legends would throw them out of scale with their fellow wreckers, so I can see them going deluxe. The clones are not that prominent at all in the current fiction, so legends makes sense there too. Gnaw is another good example. The original toy was more of a deluxe, but in fiction they are basically a generic foot soldier, legends makes sense for the updated figure.

I'm expecting Reprolabels to already be working on that.

Anyone else excited for the upcoming Hot Rod? I just went to Walmart today and I see HR on the pegs still almost mocking me in a sense...any day now from .

Terrible diistribution at my closest walmart got me mad when I can't find Hot Rod. By the time I found him at a Walmart in Leon Guanajuato when I was on vacation and later on a Target in Orland Park, I gave up on him. Maybe with the Leader Class Rodimus coming soon, I can try to find him again.

A purple Megatron coming with a Savage/Noble homage Partner Drone.

Clever.

I am very excited. SEP is half way over and their release date is SEP. I have a pre-order coming with Legends Hot Rod, Kup, Astrotrain and Hasbro Overlord when they get released. Gonna be a fun day. Legends version are a lot better with almost every figure to me. But I am one of those sicko G1 Sunbow accuracy guys, hehe.

I think I know of at least one person (not me) who might.

It doesn't seem to happen too often, but when decides to do a unique repaint, the results are usually great! (See Grand Galvatron for further reference.)

Not only repaints, but when they repurpose any mold. legends Lio Convoy from this line is a great example

Apologies if this has been asked or answered - but does the LG-EX Super GInrai come with the Headmasters that came in LG35 & LG42 in addition to Cab & Minerva?

Takaratomy mall had pictures showing cab and Minerva in godbomber with the godbomber head.

All the English descriptions are frightening because the only reference cab and Minerva. The chosen prime has pictures with the combined base mode that displays all four.

Of course they come with their regular Headmasters too. The set will have 4 Headmasters total.

Good to know.

So the answer is it does probably include all 4.

So nothing currently in regards to Trypticon QC issues vs Trypticon?

nope! the hip ratchets are fine on my version, nor probs with the chest panel or tail

I've seen a couple videos on Youtube comparing Dinosaurer with Trypticon. The toys are virtually identical, but the hip issue appears not to exist in the TT version. Aside form that, and the awesome packaging, one just has to determine for themselves if the $80 price difference is worth it...

I purchased the version just to try to avoid the QC issues. The legs & chest panel have been fine so far. My biggest problem has been putting on all the tiny stickers. I've had him for 10 days & I'm maybe 60% done with the 150 or so labels. Lack of time & age related eyesight deficiencies have not helped the matter. I don't remember Fort Max having this many decals, at least not such tiny ones.

Anyway, before I ramble on for too long, I'll say it was worth it to me to pay extra for the version to purchase a product where I had less to worry about with quality issues, but I can understand why many will go with the version & do one of the leg fixes. Saving the $80 is understandable.

Since we're talking about Trypticon, anyone else hoped we'd get electronics with the Legends version? Like not necessarily a motorized walking feature, but more in the lines of lights and sounds?

Yes. I was very much hoping that - it's why I shelled out the bucks for him.

As it is, I'm a packaging junkie who appreciates differences from Hasbro's packaging, but I wish there were more.

Nah...not really...but just felt kinda cheated when we saw pics of the Legends one with a darker shade on him...more kinda Gigastorm shade to him, then eventually realising that this wasn't the case(when we did get proper pics of what we actually got)

I had my wife apply the stickers for my Fort Max for me. Having a wife with small hands/fingers, a steady hand and knowledge of reading schematics (plus small tools that come in handy), was a advantage to be sure, I already asked her to help with Trypticon once I get it.

Thank you. You will never hear me brag about myself, but I will brag about my wife all day long. A great wife, excellent mother and a godsend. She has subliminally taken in all the useless Transformers & comic book knowledge I've bombarded her with and can hold her own in any geek conversation.
