Courtesy of Twitter user @portarmy, and fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have some more in-hand images of the recently released Takara Tomy Transformers Legends sets - specifically, the LG58 Autobot Clones pack, featuring Cloudraker and Fastlane, after the ones we previously newsed here.

The two are compared side by side (note, the Takara version of Fastlane is on the left in the first image below, but on the right everywhere else), and you can check them out in our mirrored sequence here, along with Shuffler and Bigfight (which comes with LG59 Triplechanger Blitzwing). In addition, at the end of it all, we have some images of attempted combinations for Overlord Tera, the 'combined mode' of the Hasbro and Takara releases of the toys, as seen in the pack-in manga covered [url/transformers/news/scans-of-takara-legends-manga-lg60-overlord/40559/]here[/url], and step by step on how to create it are here.

Probably around the same as the God Ginrai box set minus Minerva and Cab since Takara Tomy doesn't usually inflate prices astronomically on exclusives like Hasbro sometimes does.

Unless it is released as an E hobby exclusive

Or a Masterpiece.

Definitely not. If it's going to happen at all it'll be ehobby, ttmall or a convention exclusive.

I would probably bet on e-hobby (watch them announce it as a ttmail exclusive just to spite me :-P

How could a Legends figure be released as a MP? :???:

I doubt they'd show an e-Hobby figure in the Legends comic ahead of its announcement. In fact the only e-Hobby figure I can think of that has appeared in the mass retail comics is Grand Scourge.
Typically e-Hobby exclusives aren't bigger than a Voyager so box set featuring two leaders feels extremely unlikely. This really does feel more like an Takara Tomy Mall exclusive if it were made.

It was stated that Takara doesn't usually "inflated prices", to which others, including myself, have examples of where we thought Takara HAS inflated the price. My example was with the recent MPs, such as Dinobot.

That's absurd for MP dinobot. He is almost entirely made of small panels, which means extremely high parts count, lots of man hours in r&d, and a high assemble time, not to mention they're probably all pinned into place, and the electronics to boot...

You missed the context. We were talking about the price of a potential Legends exclusive not being inflated, that's why they mentioned e-Hobby as a counter point (though it's unlikely they'd get an exclusive that big). Suddenly bringing up MPs didn't have anything to do with the hypothetical Legends figure we were talking about.

I don't see anything wrong with the price of MPs including Dinobot. As long as they can justify the price (which I feel they did with Dinobot) it isn't inflated. Maybe padded, but not inflated.

The matter is subjective. I view current/upcoming MP prices as inflated, relating to the points about Takara inflating prices. You may not agree, but my point still stands.

Moving on.

How can you say they're inflated? Do you have intimate knowledge of the costs involved in developing these figures? The projected sales? The state of the market?

Same goes for the other side really. No one really knows how much a TF costs to develop and market, it's really just people deciding which side of the fence to fall on.

Like I said, it's subjective. I feel that the price is too much. TT could have left some of the extras out of the final product, and reduced the price, IMO.

Anyway, postie just sent me something from Amazon.

What do you think it is?

1/ Something boring from a relative (probably gloves, or a pillow, or something)

2/ The toys we're discussing in this thread.

3/ Pages of hate-filled vitriol and assorted animal cadavers from some of Seibertron's long-suffering admim team.

Answers on a postcard to "PLEASE shut up,Primal. Seriously, you're about as funny as cot death."

The first winner selected wins a prize!

I'm confused. Surely pictures of the the recent Takara Tony Legends Toyline in the thread of the same name is perfectly fine? After all, this thread is full of them.

Would you like to see my pictures of these toys? If you're nice, I'll do it, but only because it's you, and I love you.

Yes, of course pictures of the figures from the toy line ARE allowed. That goes without saying.

But I've yet to see you post any. You wanted people to play a guessing game, this is not the thread for that.

You have now ignored my two directives to stay on topic. This is your final chance, guessing games belong in an entirely different thread. If you choose to ignore this directive, you will receive a warning. I don't see how I can make this any clearer to you.

Technically, it's a cartoon. Comics usually have 2 panels or more:

It's a good job that you didn't call it a "Manga", even though it's actually set in Japan.

Grand Max and Greatshot are still scheduled for March unless something changes. March releases were supposed to be those two, Encore GF Convoy, that pile of Legends, some Movie the Best guys, and Darth Vader because Takara Tomy hates our wallets. But with all of these delays it isn't particularly helpful.

Indeed. Usually, they are rather good for Japanese wallets, as they release around the 25th of each month, which you probably know is pay day in Japan. You live in Japan, right?

Not even close, but I've been taking part in their pop culture for over 25 years now so I'm aware of that. A lot of companies do have their big releases at the end of the month, but TT tends to spread them out just a little bit which makes lumping so many big money releases together very confusing. There aren't any mid March holidays that would have made releasing stuff difficult so I really don't know what their plan was.

Seeing how their solicits post-March/April are primarily Hasbro toys, I think this is some final parting dash to get things out before some kind of business arrangement takes effect. This doesn't explain Shadow Panther, I know

Coming to us once again from fellow Seibertronian and reviewer, chuckdawg1999, we have a video review of Takara Tomy's just-released take on Overlord from the Legends line! Chuck gives us a look at all the features exclusive to the Takara version - including a few molding differences to add his classic Powermaster-y details, some color differences, and certainly not least the addition of a second Titan Master figure - plus a comparison to Hasbro's Titans Return version.

Check out the video below, and let us know your own thoughts on the figure and its differences in the Energon Pub too. And of course as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the Transformer news and reviews you could ever need or want!

When Takara first announced their version of Overlord, expectations were high, I feel Takara met and exceeded those expectations. The deco is top notch and the double Headmasters are a nice touch but for me, the icing on the cake is the inclusion of new molded detail in the chest, representing the original engines of Mega and Giga. Takara Legends Overlord is probably the best version of Overlord we're going to get outside of a Masterpiece figure.

Man, I think I preffer the Hasbro version. I really love those tampos on the jet mode and I do not like how ghastly the faces are on the takara version.

i prefer the silver face on the hasbro one better myself but i also like the fake powermasters in the chest on the takara one gives it a more complete look :-?

Personally, I think Takara could have just given us two Powermaster figures using the engine blocks on the existing figures, and used a faux "POTP" block with a face on it for the head. Probably cheaper than the existing features and more G1 accurate.

However, I like this fan-made combined mode that I found on the internet:

It's been reported that the retooled chest flaps on Legends Overlord actually attach securely to the tank in the combined vehicle mode, enabling one to pick up the combined form by the jet and shake it around a bit gently without the tank detaching from the jet. That is a huge improvement over the loose connection made between the Hasbro Overlord's chest flaps and tank.

I noticed some things with Overlord and Blitzwing:

- Overlord has got a vestigal joint just before his crotch plate (under his abdomen). It seems to be missing a part that would clip in and move up and down.

- Blitzwing's feet, and the rear lower leg covers scrape easily against each other, due to a lack of clearance. I suspect this is because in the Hasbro version, both of these parts are not painted?

Its used to connect the base modes. Its beena while but I think it worked when I tried it with Blaster.

So are the fake engines actually glued in there or just wedged in super tight? I get that he didnt want to damage the toy to find out. But somebodys gotta do it. I got a feeling they are similar to the pink thing that comes with POTP starscream and the paint made them tight as hell to remove.

There are pictures here earlier in that show them, plus the mod to remove them, clip them and attach them to the backs of the Headmaster figures.
