New Takara Legends Fembots revealed?

[DELTAprime]

There are images going around that are reported to be LG15 Nightbird, LG16 Slipstream and LG17 Blackaracnia. All three are remoulds LG15 is a Gen Arcee remould, LG16 is a Windblade remould and LG17 is a Animated Blackarachina remould.

[valkyrie_76]

Two words.......'Yes' and 'Please' :D

[Bladestorm]

I'm not liking that nightbird mould... and I've been hoping for her! Blackaracnia has potential. Will wait to see how she looks coloured up...

eh - what am I saying... my daughter collects all the fembots so these will probably find a home in our place regardless. ;)

[CHILENO20]

Two words.......'Yes' and 'Please' :D

I second valk's opinion :D

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Bought on sight.

Thanks Takara.:)

[tinyJazz]

These are fantastic! Especially Nightbird, wow! Looking forward to seeing the decos on these. :D

Now where's Elita?

[CBratron]

I wonder if Slipstream will have the same balance issues...

[Tober]

Blackarachnia is the only one that really interests me. And yeah, color will be a big factor. Just hope there are no dramas pre-ordering it.

[Shirokaze]

So keen for Blackarachnia, colours pending :)

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I wonder if Slipstream will have the same balance issues...

Hard to see, but if those heels are still there, then yes. I'd go with a yes.

[BigTransformerTrev]

Freak-ing yes! :D

[ampoldj]

Looks like Takara has learned one thing with the first three Fembots:
New Trend: Fembots = Huge Profit

PO'd one Black Widow from HLJ. Pretty neat sculpt. Apparently it's based on the animated series?

Yeah. Legs and forearms would suggest so.

Got my order in at HLJ, hope there's no problem with this batch of Fembots either from the ordering perspective or paint quality issues. I got bit with both issues last time.

They are only allowing quantities of 1 each thus far. Annoying as I want second ones for my daughter (five years hence)

[ampoldj]

So October 24th is Fembots Day? These ladies will be released together with MP26 Road Rage as posted on the Takara Tomy Mall :D

[griffin]

They showed us the character artwork of the last three fembots at BotCon, and they were not exactly G-rated... and that was still after it was toned down. (the artists were probably into Japanese Hentai.... no, not Henkei. :p )
So hopefully we don't see the same for these ones.

Arcee is drawn like she has a short-cut t-shirt hanging over her boobs, Chromia has her leg up so high you can see way too much of her crotch, and Windblade is holding her sword to her crotch in a phallic way.
It's like Kissplay all over again...

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc15/y14.jpg

[Raptormesh]

Huh...if you never mention those references grif i would never have thought they are drawn obscenely...and still don't really. heh.

[BigTransformerTrev]

It was definitely obvious with Chromia, but I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with the other two if it hadn't been pointed out.

Um.... You dont think they will make posters of these by any chance do you? I'm asking for.... a buddy of mine. Yeah, that's it - a buddy of mine wants'em :p;)

[griffin]

I only mentioned it because the JP artists at BotCon were saying how they were being told to tone it down... which had me wondering what the fembot artwork looked like before this.

You mean it was more full on before? :eek:

Arcee I still think is fine, Windblade us a bit futa'esque now you've pointed it out, but id hate to see what Chromia looked like if this is the toned down version

[BigTransformerTrev]

The original Black Arachnia toy had the comically biggest bust on it I've ever seen - made Barbie look flat! Shame it was so butt-ugly just being a recolour of Tarantulus :rolleyes:

My interest is quite peaked to see the official first draft artwork for the 3 femmebots now. One doesn't usually think of TF's in that way so it would be interesting to see the artistic take that people who's proclivities do swing that way have taken

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Hrm, yyeah. Now that It's been mentioned, I guess I can see the phallic way that the sword is being held. But um... Well, it never hit me before when I got Windblade.

I too am curious to see the original art too, for um... Professional reasons.

[valkyrie_76]

For research...........FOR SCIENCE!!!!!

Ok, it's official - at least 4 people (including a section mod and the site owner) wanna see the original artwork. Didn't happen to get the artists names or emails while you were at Botcon did you Griffin?

[UltimateGalvatron]

Make it five...As I always say...

In the name of science!

perhaps some of you clamoring for...that kind of thing should check out b1tchasor lol as pointed out by bigtransformertrev

[Raider]

Any word on whether there is going to be a Hasbro release for these 3? I tend to only collect the Hasbro Generations line and not the Takara line but will pick these 3 up if it looks like Hasbro won't get them.

No word atm and it looks these will be Takara exclusives. I also only collect Hasbro but will sometimes mix exclusive Takara like the TG Ratbat

Well we are seeing the same for these ones from the latest box art:

Slipstream - lots of thigh
Nightbird - short-cut shirt and a big crotch shot
Arachnia - has been drawn with boobs so big it makes her look like she has the original BW toys dimensions


Again, not that I'm complaining mind :p;)

[tinyJazz]

You make a comment like that and don't even do us the courtesy of linking the images? :p

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inpackage-image-takara-tomy-transformers-legends-nightbird-slipstream/34014/

I think you guys are exaggerating the "low cut shirt" thing though, that part of the artwork literally looks like the toy. :rolleyes:

Also, I can't believe I didn't realise this earlier, but it looks like Nightbird got hitched since we last saw her. Her last name is now "shadow". Who's her lucky partner? Sky Shadow? Black Shadow? Shadow Striker? :D

[BigTransformerTrev]

Gotta admit, I don't see it either. It's just really a box, not like it's a shirt hanging over a rack like Arachnia seems to be sporting :p. But since Griffin made the comment about Arcee and Nightbird was drawn similar thought I'd mention it :)

[CHILENO20]

Forgive the ignorance but will they be available via Hasbro? I was ummming & ahhhring about them but now..... :D

[BigTransformerTrev]

Na, pretty sure they are Tak/Tom exclusives. The box art certainly is :p

[Raider]

I wouldn't rule it out entirely but I for one am not risking it and will buy the TT versions. At least if Hasbro release them down the track they will no doubt have slightly different paint apps :P

[prjkt]

Tamara's not pulling any punches with exclusive moulds/remoulds like these three and CW Groove

New box art image for BlackArachnia:

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/in-package-image-takara-tomy-transformers-legends-lg17-blackarachnia/34027/

Sporting a look like that I wonder if she is going to make a cameo in the Queens Blade cartoon :p

[BigTransformerTrev]

New scans for the comics that come with Nightbird and Slipstream

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/comic-images-for-takara-transformers-legends-slipstream-and-nightbird/34135/

They have drawn Slipstream so her lower armor looks like underwear and it's a bit disturbing the prone positions that Nightbird gets into slipping on banana peels :eek::p

My 11 year old daughter has been playing with these figures for the last few days and I have to say the *cough* upper torso on Black Arachnia is HUGE! Even my daughter was asking "why are her boobs so big?"... she also had some amusing comments about the location of them when Arachnia is in spider mode...

Having said that, she's actually a really nice figure both in robot and spider form. Relatively easy to transform, fun to play with and my daughter said of the 3 new femmebots Arachnia is her current favourite.

[Empirion]

I love them got black arachina and nightbird so sexy lol:D

Still not as big as the original toy though:

*jaw drop* My goodness - those are more like a J or K cup! Poor thing!
In light of that, I think they've done a better job with the new version.
I won't be showing that to my daughter. ;)

Admittedly though. Tfwiki tries to make jokes on everything.

Got mine a couple of days ago and have opened up black arachnia and slip stream. BA is pretty nice and the grappling hook is just as fun as the animated toy which i also really liked.
Slip stream is nice too. Really cool colours although I find without the sword to hold the back of the jet together it's a bit gappy and flimsy.

Also super sexist comics with them too. They're all tea ladies working in Megatron's company... Still undecided if I find that cute and silly or insulting.

[DELTAprime]

For those of you with Blackarachnia the instructions and the YouTube reviewers have her mistransformed.

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/how-to-transform-transformers-legends-lg-17-blackarachnia-without-a-chest-gap/34204/

So basically there should be no gap between the top of her chest and her neck.

I got the 3 of them today, much better QC on this set of TT Fembots than on the last set of them.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Yay. That was somthing that was bugging me a little. I had them pushed up as far as I was willing to push them, but I didn't want to break them. So thanks for the 22 minute video review, which I skipped mostly through :p

[BigTransformerTrev]

Yeah I got my three today LadyCons today and I gotta admit, I don't understand Japanese but considering in one the Autobot gals are in the background dressed as bunny girls, schoolgirls and the like I'm the same as you - not sure to find it just silly fun or a bit too sexist. Are the ones that come with the three Autobot ones similar?

I do like the way these characters have been drawn on the box art and the front of the instruction manuals though - if they made posters out of them I'd definetly buy them (especially Black Arachnias :D)

The costumes (bunny, school, pumpkin for BA) are required for the story as Megatron has the Decepticons out Trick or Treating and taking energon. BA's comic is therefore a Halloween themed comic.

I'll have to check the AutoLasses, but I don't recall it being quite that bad. Although Tigertron definitely has a thing for the ladies.
But eah, the poster artwork has been good. Personally, I love the crap out of Ultra Magnus'!

Oh ok, so it was a story thing rather than some kind of fetish cosplay, all good :)

Maybe I need to cut back on the hentai so my mind doesn't leap to those conclusions :p
