Oh God, that starscream will shatter like glass if it's all transparent plastic!! If it's the same plastic that UW Ghost Starscream is made out of, it should be fairly durable. Mine has yet to shatter. (He says, tempting all the fates.) Also... ARGH! Now I *really* regret passing on the cheap SDCC Max and picking up the Hasbro one - the only reason I did that is because Cerebros needs to be *proper* Cerebros and not toy Cerebros or Master or... something. (And yes - "proper" Cerebros is of course Marvel/Sunbox Cerebros - because of course.) But now... dammit. That's doubly annoying because I'll also most likely be wanting that Bumblebee, too - I want the transparent windows! And no, I'm not just going to pick up one of the cheap SDCC Maxes that are still floating around - I spent several hours Reprolabelling up the Hasbro version, I'm not doing that again... Also I had no real interest in Octoane, but with the Ghost Starscream headmaster... *sigh* |

Perceptor is the first deluxe who wasn't previously a Headmaster to have a Titanmaster accessory - Broadside also has one.
Makes Scourge and Blurr's lack even more obvious now! Every other TR deluxe done in Legends has an additional accessory.

I like the look of that Slugslinger. Never owned a Slugslinger toy either... Darn, temptation rising... Karl |

It puts the sweep on the scourge, or it gets the hose.

Have these reissues been listed anywhere for preorder? I think I need the Megatron. Well I knew that anyway, but now we've just seen a pretty good looking G1 style leader Prime coming next year, he needs a half decent Megatron the same size to stand against.

DECEPTICON OVER ROAD!
3500 yen for the Clone set is £25, so that's only going to be two of them, not all four. Still - bodes well for a second set with the other two in.

Clone BOT set.

Yeah, probably. But with these translations bot could also just mean robot.

Be interesting to see what the Clones have with them in terms of guns and/or bonus Titanmasters. That's what me buying them again will depend on.
I expect Blitzwing will get a Titanmaster accessory pack in like Broadside
Overlord's obviously the really interesting one. Hoping for new head and two engine'd Titanasters to go in the chest, which itself could do with a retool because the fit is rather tight.
Of the original moulds, and retools, that leaves Topspin, Twin Twist, Windblade, Arcee & Seaspray. Wouldn't expect to see Getaway, Krok & Quake. All Voyager and Leader moulds accounted for, bar Black Shadow's body. Titanmasters: not seen Ptero, Sawback, Fangry & Shuffler. Ramhorn's head has been done as Clouder, in addition to his accessory going with Perceptor. One of those is going in with Seaspray, will the clones get others? I had money on a Sawback/Steeljaw two pack: The Stripes (Steeljaw) head and entire Rumble remould are also yet to be used in Japan, even though a blue Rumble was shown in the comic, but it'd be a surprise if they came back to tapes now.

Hypothesis:
As Haywire was packaged in with Doublecross, and Takara seems to be avoiding repaints like Krok and Quake, then it's highly probable that Fracas will be packaged with Windblade.

She seems to be fairly popular over there.
But she is a girl robot with a kabuki face and a sword.
