Takara Tomy Transformers ROTF Toys in Dengeki Hobby 08 August Issue

Drools at the titanium Hot Spot..

Wow....I wanted to like the Leader-class Jetfire so badly, but the US version just fell flat, IMO. The black even looked off. The Takara Jetfire is gorgeous.

Is there a proper review of the Leader Jetfire done up somewhere?

Can someone help me out? In all of the pics i have seen of cannon bumblebee his chest looks mistransformed to me. Is that the way it is supposed to be or is supposed to be sort of dented in like the other bumbebee figures?

Hey, anyone noticed the molds for G1 Sideswipe, Wheeljack and Tracks on one of the pages? Does that mean we'll see an encore for each of those?? Encore Wheeljack would be awesome!

Unfortunately, cannon bumblebee's chest is not mistransformed, I guess to put the cannons on there they had to take out the chest workings to save mony, since it should not really be a space issue.

I bought the cannon Bee and pretty much decided to just leave him in car mode and have him bee my default Earthmode Bee, along with my old leader OP.


As far as Jetfire, I cannot tell the diff with the Talara version and the Hasbro version. My Jetfire is shipping to me as we speak, maybe I can compare them later.

I wish Takara would do what they do to the Henkei line on Leader Jetfire and Optimus. I would love to see chromed parts and better paint aps overall. I buy the Takara versions in a heartbeat, but since they are pretty much the same as far as I can tell, I may as well get the Hasbro version.

Since when do they advertise the Titaniums in Japan?

Damn it every time I see EZ Devestator I want it even more. I wan't a european release for it soon.
